Good luck.
I bet as you experiment your jecklin disk will get fat too.
As I mentioned mine is 8" thick now and actually I have a piece of
plywood in the center as well. The idea of a jecklin didn't ever
really work on paper and the sound I have not been able to get to
work either. You end up after using your ears to have either a fat
center or a .25 inch separation. Play with it a while and you will
see what I mean.
