Finn,

Can he get to a 50-60" x 10" or 12" in size?

Maybe he could retire in time. Great replies so far!

Hey Finn,

I have a better idea.  Get your friend with the metal spinning setup
to crank up his apparatus and start producing some more of those
great 6 by 26 inch toroids similar to the one I purchased from you
about 5 years ago for a mere $110. You could double the price and it
would still be a great deal.  And thanks again for doing that.
