Has anyone ever tried scratch-building one of those old Strombecker kits?

Whilst I don't see too many people having one in their homes, those 'curlers' that electricians use to curve conduit might come in handy. Buy some PVC pipe, soften it in hot water, put it through the curler and, voila! Now someone's going to tell me that PVC doesn't soften in hot water, nes pas?
