    You put more effort into the design process than I ever did... lol... drew it with Sharpie marker on the steel welding table, did some long hand math right there on the table and started bending. Keep in mind my side tabs are not sheet metal they are 3/16" steel plate waterjet cut for precision and accuracy for the holes in the side to mount tools.

    lol, well i do failure analysis and mechanical design for a living... how's that saying go? if you like what you do then you'll never work a day in your life? (Well, in my case you have to add in "except for when program managers piss you off" but thats another story, and the reason I read my daily Dilbert comic).

    I actually used 1/2" plate for the model and 1" tube. It was just a visualization thing.... and because Jon Stewart was a bit boring tonight.
