As a side note, you can buy stock aluminum spheres such as the type used
for radar and sonar targets fairly cheaply. I've got a couple of 6 inch
ones (hemispheres that you snap together) that I got when I was working on
sonars a while back. A good place to start looking for metal spinners is at
www.thomasregister.com. THis is the online version of the famous "Tomcat"
that lists everthing made by anybody.  It's conceivable that they may have
spun-metal toroid halves available, as well.
