Now that I got a few weeks of work out of the way, I have some time for another project.
11ga P&O sheet
These are the sides I cut today out of two 4x10 sheets, the photos don't show it too well but there are some pretty good curves. My aim is to at least give it some illusion of having a partial twist, I am very limited on clamps of any size, so I am having to resort to 2x4's and threaded rod. While it will not have an actual twist, it will have some good compound curves.
I will add another 4-5 ft section to the top to add to the twisting illusion ( I hope )
I am building this one as a prototype, I want to make the next one bigger, and some how get a full 360 in there somewhere.

Looks great Bubba!!!
What is the end use of this project going to be? Are you using it for yourself or are you being commissioned to build it for someone else? It looks like something you'd see in a commons area of a mall or in the courtyard of a fancy office builcing.
Did you design this yourself?
I can't wait to see the finished project. Please don't let the thread die out without showing us more pictures.Blondie (Owner C & S Automotive)

HaHa, I said No kinks
I see from my own photo, that I do have a nice kink, where I was clamping it with the Unistrut.
I didn't see it out in the garage. Maybe I can shrink it out.
