can a curved braided hose be created on proe?

I'm trying to create a flexible hose in the bend state but I'm having a hard time with the braiding even with the strait hose.

This video (FlexHose.wmv) might offer some help. I tried to upload the video, but not sure if it will come through. If not, the flexible hose is from Leo Greene from www.E-Cognition.net, you can find it there.

For the braiding, this twisted pair thread might help with some ideas: How to create Twisted wires

Also, I have attached a file that has an example of the twisted pair.
