that looks pretty good.  I used to have a chart that showed tubing weight per linear foot so I could figure what my trailers would weigh before I built them, but I can't get it to work now...

My  entire rail is .050.  I used .040 years ago but it was just dinging and pushing in too easily, tried .060 and was stout, but a bitch to work with, then I tried the .050 and have used it ever since, seems to be perfect for my application, and I have a ton of aluminum work on my rail....

Yoshi, see, here's the problem I have with your machines. No disrespect cause I admire the quality of your work ..but... when I get drunk and forget where I left the sand rail (you gave me) how would I ever find it again?

Cause... man, it sure looks like it aint gonna show up on Radar! Damn Stealth technology....
