	I used this idea last year in constructing the small toroid that I
have.  I used a 15"(?, not sure) wheelbarrow tire and stuffed it with
newspaper for rigidity.  I then covered it in Al tape, then smoothed.  It
works fairly well, but I have since moved on to a Duct toroid, as this one
wasn't large enough for my six inch coil.  I plan to wind a 4" sometime
soon, and then the wheelbarrow tire will again see service.
