All of my homemade toroids use pizza pans.  I would suggest two, one each 
side of say aluminium duct with an all-thread rod in the center.  You can 
sort of clamp the duct between them.  It is sort of hard to tape the pan to 
just one side and have the tape stay stuck.  But, buy clamping it with two, 
the thing is nice and solid.  I note that stainless steel pans or often 
cheaper than aluminum ones too.

Cheers,
