How to make a Bauhaus Arc Floor Lamp...?

So I was thinking of using Copper Pipe. Fill the pipe with sand, seal the edges and bend it over a jig whilst heating it with a flame. I would make the jig by cutting out a LARGE arc out of ply wood, add a slot for the pipe, heat, bend, repeat…

See any flaws? Any Comments welcome, even ones about Brazilian monkeys raiding firework factories in china.

Most likely not just fill tube with sand to prevent collapse or use a tube bender.

Shouldn't be a problem - your method sounds Ok - Personally with the cost of copper I would use steel
