Bendable, rigid and flexible tubing?

Much appreciated!
Composite rods are definitely an option, unfortunately they’re readily available only in straight sections, which complicates things a little.
The gooseneck is halfway there, but lacks the necessary spring properties. If only you could combine the two…
ralphzoontjens, I’m basically trying to build a springy hoop. I can obviously use the platform to manipulate the shape a little but can you elaborate a little on your description of the platform?
