Default Snake

This snake is taking so long that I decided to post an "in work" photo. Metal is 22 gauge cold roll steel. No internal structure. Each section between the green tape wrap is a single piece of metal formed into a tube and the snake length is about 6 feet. Now I need to start welding and finishing.

That is deceptively difficult work. Impressed!

I like it!
Nice even "coily" serpentine shapes.
Very nice surface quality.

Well done of getting this far. Quiet a difficult and time consuming project.

Great result John, not sure I would want to try doing that or in fact be able to.

Just realized that I had not posted a picture of the snake welded up.
