Primary winding: 69 Turns of 32 gauge enamelled wire or thinner. Secondary winding: 51 Turns of 32 gauge enamelled wire or thinner over the top of the primary winding. The ratio of 69:51 should be maintained. If twice as many winds can be applied to the bobin then drive current will be reduced and the need for the LM395 driving transistor can be removed. The NE555 will be capable of driving the transformer direct although a Back-EMF diode across the primary will be needed for the NE555's protection.
