A number replies back a member suggested gusseting the tube angle welds. I was not a proponent of that solution. However for argument's sake, RMS originally used a similar welded non gusseted tube design, and then later changed to a bent square tube, with no intermediate welds. Never heard their reason for the change. The RMs was a 2" sq tube FWIW.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
