Wouldn’t be the first time tel ?i was just trying to fathom out how baddegg was going to clamp a piece of wood to the underside of his jeans.
Just to close this thread off, said I'd post pictures of the finished article so here we go.
In the end it was a lot of fuss about nothing (cutting a stainless steel cooker hood chimney). I had to be careful not to scratch it as I worked on it, but liberal use of masking tape sorted that. It was a lot thinner than my off-cut - I reckon it's about 0.5mm (my offcut was 1mm thick) so the main issue wasn't so much the overheating and the cutting, it was stopping it flapping about while I did so! Jigsaw on slowest setting, really fine-toothed blade, timber offcuts to clamp it. All good.
Also, because of where the notch ended up, I didn't have to make the arch, I just had to cut a couple of straight lines. I'm sure I'll find other uses for the 25mm punch!
Here's the finished job:

The feed was from the adjacent downstairs WC, where the service cupboard is located:

Someone was asking what a "distressed look" metal-clad socket is... it turns out it's a regular Contactum metal-clad socket, galvanised:

The client bought them from here. So, £39 for each socket, (including £14 back box).
I was quite pleased with the job, because the client preferred my old tarnished conduit/saddles etc that had been sat in the shed for a while, so it was nice to get rid of some old stock!
i do mine the same as you should be hanging off the yardarm..... vertical.That looks really cool, imho!
Those vertical slots on the screw heads though.....LOL!
