If anyone is looking for an easy covid project that you can have fun with, try these. In the U.S., buy some wiggle molding (used for corrugated roof panels). In my case, I bought two 8' lengths and ripped them in half on a table saw, giving me 4) 8' lengths (about $9 a piece). Then take them and cut them into 2' (you will need 12 pieces)lengths so that the curves line up with each other. Take 2, two foot lengths you just cut and put them back to back and glue/screw them together, until you have 6) two foot pieces.
Take a 1x4 and cut it at about 12.5", make 4). Attach (3) of the curved pieces to the 1x4, two on one side, one one the opposite side in the center (see picture)one 1x4 at the top, one at the bottom.So you should end up having 2) panels. That's it, you are basically done, BUT, I used these panels on the floor at first and they worked, but it wasn't until I put them up in the air about 2' that I went WOW! So you will need to make a stand for them.
In the past I had made and used a more accurate DIY Shakti Hallowgraph model, which I have been using for years,and was curious if wiggle molding would work. Give it a try and let me know.
Ps. I have NOT used what I show in the link, but they should work, any reference you need for visuals or placement, just look up Shakti Hallowgraphs. Also if you want to make the curves offset, just misalign the curves before you glue them together.
