     Folks,
     
     I am using the "2 pie plate hub/heating duct torus" toroid 
     construction method. However, I am unable to find suitable aluminum 
     pie plates for the toroid hub.  The aluminum ones I have tried are 
     very flimsy.
     
     I have found some beefy steel pie plates though.  Is steel appropriate 
     (conductive enough?) for this application?
     
     In other coil news, after a marathon HDPE sawing, clamping, drilling 
     and tapping session this weekend, I am happy to report that I have 
     finished the primary supports and attached them to the base.  I 
     staggered the supports 1/16" of an inch each, clamped them, and then 
     drilled straight through to make the holes for the primary wire as 
     someone else on the list suggested, and it worked great!
     
     I hope to lay in the refrigerator tubing tonight. . . . 
     
     thanks,
