Photo Copyright of Kurt Schraner & used with permissionThis beautifully manufactured toroid was custom made in Switzerland by Christos Galanis.
NB: (Although I am kindly allowed to use this toroid it belongs to a fellow coiler - P Strauss) Overall sizes:
Main diameter: 49.4 inches (125.5cm)
Minor diameter: 11.18 inches (28.4cm)
It consists of 32 segments, each being made from a 'fish-shaped' template. These can be seen in pictures of the manufacturing process, which can be seen
Here.
(Note: Prices quoted no longer apply, as 14 years out of date)Each individual 1mm Aluminium segment then has a rolled edge applied, allowing it to be joined to its neighbour.
Unfortunately the manufacturer was unable to provide shipping, so collection was from Switzerland.
