 Hi Bob, Martin

How about using 4 90° elbows. You can get these in smooth, pre bent form. This
wonīt give you a real circle, but itīs a toroid none the less. Just dig out
your trusty TIG welder (or go to a tig place) and weld a nice bead around each
joint. If you or they can weld, all you need to do is grab your angle grinder
and some sandpaper and make the weld nice and smooth. You could even go to the
trouble of polishing it. 

This gives you a mirror smooth surface, able to store a maximum charge.
And you wouldnīt have to gash up your fingers or go to the trouble of bending
straight SS pipe

Just some thoughts
