Putting this here since it is a serving device...
This weekend I followed through on a threat and actually built this Jockey Box I've been planning for a while. TONS of credit goes out to my buddy Jimmy Big Ears! He is a stainless coiling machine!
The stainless coils well but is certainly in need of backing by a "mandrel" and in this case, a few diameters of PVC are a perfect match. The first mandrel that formed the inner core was a 4" pvc. The notch in the end is to secure a hook and make the coiling process much easier.
Photo 1 - wrapping the coil around a 4" PVC mandrel.
Photo 2 - Inside view (notice the hook)
Photo 3 - After about 20 coils, we made a small bend to catch the opening on the larger mandrel.
Photo 4 - More bending...
