|  Is this tubing too big I was just given 20 pieces of 1/2 " square steel tubing with a wall thickness of 1/16th " Will this tubing be too large to make a tuber out of. It's not that heavy, but size wise would it look stupid. |

| 1/2" is HUGE! You could make like a 1/4 scale crawler and it would be pretty cool. |

| How would you make a "tuber" out of square tube anyways? My clod frame was made from the same material http://www.toyotaoffroad.net/afertig...es/newsus1.jpg |

| It is good stuff for creating an actual frame ( as in ladder style ) that tubing could be brazed onto to create cages and such. |
