gwolf,
thanks for the suggestions! we're in the process of doing some cfd analysis on some better shapes. we're considering carving a multi part wooden positive mold that would be able to be slipped out afterwards.
davidinindy,
haha, yeah, there's a person in there. our drivers are most...
hmm, that would be an awesome solution, though i have no idea where one would get ahold of that kind of equipment.
also, can winding create non-circular cross sections?
thanks for the insight,
