Would the rules for making a carbon fiber driveshaft follow the normal tube making process detailed in the videos or would there be additional engineering concerns that would change the process?
...I'm just curious. I don't have a large enough oven right now to pull one off anyway (need a 51" ds) ...but it would be neat to make one if it was as simple as making a 4" cf tube.
Thanks.
[Edit: oh, I guess it would be important to point out that yes, it makes perfect sense you would have to align the cloth to provide torsional rigidity and that wasn't a concern in the basic tube making tutorial. I was purposely trying to just throw the open question out to see what kinds of thought processes people might use. But I thought that might be something worth coming back to start the list of differences with.]

i have made a couple of driveshafts using filament winding in the past, it takes quite a lot of design and manufacture know how to make something suitable.
Plus there is the fun task of bonding or mechanically fastening the metallic drive flanges to it.
