Simple Torus (or Doughnut)

Project List First Page Previous Page Next Page

A torus (or doughnut) is a very "tactile" object and not too difficult to make

This one has a thickness of 40mm, a hole also of 40mm and a diameter of 120mm

When it is partly finished it must be fitted into a holder (or jam chuck) so that is made first

This holder is made from layers of blockboard with a hardboard securing ring

The blank is about 125mm in diameter and 50mm thick. A temporary spigot is cut

An accurate spigot is formed in each face
