[TheForge] use for tubing

[Ralph Sproul]

        Dave, you might try bending this material around a roller jig, and
then you could run wire to chandeliers with it and then plug the ends with
solid stock to complete the scrolls beyond the wire feeding your lights.
This could keep the weight of a chadelier down too.
