a tip for the pipe making: fold the edges of the pipe to be 'flat' before welding together. so that the edges are butting up against each other, not simply flat ontop of each other.

so that when you weld the pipe the weld is how it will be once inflated. then you can expand the pipe without stretching/deforming the welds.

Yes i agree i have done it both ways and shaping the side where its welded is the best way i found makeing a plywood template say 10mm smaller all round to dolly the metal over is a easy way to do it
