That's a commercially spun toroid.  There is no way you can make anything 
like that at home, and it would probably cost you about $400-$500 to 
order one just like that one.  On the positive side, the homemade ducting 
+ aluminum tape toroids work every bit as well, providing you smooth them 
over well by rubbing them with something hard and plastic.  Pressing 
firmly and rub with a circular motion, but don't press too hard and dent 
the thing.  Smoothing out the tape wrinkles makes it much harder for the 
spark to break out prematurely.
