Instead of lying on the floor next time just cut a few simple plywood disks
to fit into the ends of your tube, and then make a simple support with some
old scrap 2 x 4's lumber and add a crank on one end and a bearing on the
other end.  Very simple, easy to make, and it will same you time while
allowing you to make a much neater looking coil.

Dr.Resonance
