I have watched untold videos, but can't see what people are putting in the top of their secondary's. What goes in the hole at the top where the top load is to set.

I'm not sure if you wanted to know about termination, but here is Mads design guide where he touches on secondary coil termination. If I remember it right most people epoxy acrylic disks into the pipe.

And I guess you are winding your secondary now?
