    Just thought I would throw this one up here for you guys.
    I was trying to make a single column with two strands wrapping around it but I didn't offset them enough from the start. Looks cool though and might give you guys some more ideas.
    The code kinda jumps all over the place as far as cut out order but it will still work it just may get off a little over the course of the entire cut.

    Interesting. Is it one tube with two tubes twisting around it? Or are all three in an equal twist?

    Hi 66tbird, Its supposed to be 1 tube with 2 tubes twisting around it but I really did not put enough offset on them.

    Maybe you could mill in a reference mark, to get the perfect alignment?
