Just buy a load of cheap pvc tube to the diameter you want and experiment

If you do make your own, I am sure that you are aware of the need to use seamless steel tubing

For anyone who doesn't know ERW (Electrically Resistance Welded) if placed under load and suddenly tear open and turn in to a very sharp scythe

Obviously the load would have to be quite high like a roll or a serious crash......
