Andy,

I bought one of those books, and that's where I learned the basics
of spinning.  I've adapted the procedures for toroid spinning, and I
offer both the finished toroids and also videotapes that show my
method of making them.  It is true that it is a simple process, but
takes some work and practice.  My toroids can be seen at:
