Ed,
I use 1/4" acrylic circles for the center of my toroiods. I also tape
everything together with clear packaging tape and then cover everything
with
aluminum tape. On the larger toroids, made with plastic drain pipe, I
use
the stitching method that someone else mentioned. I drill holes all the
way
around the plastic center - maybe 10 or 12 - then use waxed lacing cord
to
tie the pipe to the center disc. Then use the same cord to lace the
ends
together. I also set the disc on a table on a wood block to get the
thing in
the center of the pipe.
