So, I went down to Lowes and bought some aluminum square tubing. Had to return it though. I wasn't thinking of all the extra work I'd have to put into it to cut and drill holes. And naturally it adds more weight....I thought I could live with it but it was a little heavier than I imagined. I was going to drill a bunch of holes to lighten the weight but I decided to order some plastic square tubing instead. It sucks how the plastic stuff is slightly more expensive than the metal....oh well.
I know ILM used round tubing for the mandibles. Has anyone used or thought of using square? I was thinking that it would serve as the inner mandible sidewalls as well as inner support and lighting access.
