Funky Topload Ideas

The removal of the old washer and dryer from the GeekHouse basement required 
the creative application of a SawzAll. We learned quickly that the rotating 
drum in the dryer really wants to be the hub of a topload for our large 
coil. I was wondering if anyone else had ever tried this. It's a nice smooth 
barrel, lightweight and solid.

The topload for our 6" setup is actually suspended by construction twine 
from the ceiling. we've had great success with this for several months and 
the idea of hanging a topload is a good thing for us. It allows us to vary 
the height and makes the coil more stable since the topload isn't balanced 
on top. I'm wondering how many others have done this, and to what extent. 
The idea of using a small car (preferably not Geek-3) as a topload suspended 
by rope over a large coil would make an interesting finalle for the winter 
Teslathon. any thoughts on this?
