I have built a homemade device to turn the wood for the torus using
parts of a old snow cone machine! It is a disk with three blades across
the face mounted on a 5/8" shaft. This powered by a 1/3" hp capacitor
start motor. It sure is cheaper than a $400 wood lathe. Total cost
$0.00!
I have also solved the problem of getting the wood conductive in
preparation to be plated. I found a website for a company named Dalmar.
They have a special spray coating for just this purpose. They also have
a number of other plating supplies geared toward the hobbyist. Their web
address is:

Other companies that supply equipment, and supplies can be found at:

I hope this helps any other coilers interested in electroplating.
