They are made with PVC pipes, molded or glued.
You just have to find a similar measure to our need.








no vignetting, made to the limit. Wink

I like the ingenuity (as a DIYer) Wink

I will also say that PVC is pretty heavy...I personally wouldn't carry them around.

In the spring, there will be about 30" of 3" PVC in my car for the stereo... Laughing

Very nice work. Any instructions or hints on how you made them? I know that PVC can be softened by boiling it in water but how did you shape them so uniformly?

Thanks
Mike

Molded with hot air, is looking for a mold that serves our purpose, preferably metal. The hood of the Sonnar 180 2.8 is a reduction of a measure of pipe to another.
It needs and imagination.
