That is what I was looking for. I hadn’t realized these were corrugated in the flat and then rolled.

I observed one housing in the last photograph was welded completely.

Will all the tacked gaps eventually be welded together?

Providing no harm to function ensues I prefer the battle scar appearance to the pimpled one; It could do naught but aid strength.

I would love to see how you got the ridges to “extrude” around a round shape.
