so I'm building something to hang my future lights from, I figured bending some conduit sounded easy enough. But I want to know what kind of project I'm in for.

anybody with experience in this?
is it too much overkill to use 3/4" rigid?
Am I going to go crazy trying to bend it in three dimensions?

not too tough, although getting the angles right might take some practice with the pipe bending tool and some planning on dimensions.

here's a reference I used when I did it.
