How did you do the pattern, looks like a great pattern for a PVC tubed scope. Cut outs to minimise weights

Hang on guys ,,,finished it today, post pics in a minute,,,
Astroman, Circ of a circle is equal to its 6 times its radius..pair of dividers and a pencil..but your right It would make a good PVC.. plastic is better..NO sparks to set fie to yor shorts...LOL... If I was to make this again I would cut before roll and spot weld, would have been easier,,,
