Since we're on this thread, does anyone know a good source for 1.5" tubing?
I'm currently using 6061 T6 aluminum with .5" wall.  Seemed like a good idea
when I did it, but when I stack my A3WS on it and tilt the tower over, it
bends like a noodle under the weight.  Also looks a bit "twisty" in stiff
breezes.  I thought it was going to solve all my problems.  I'd appreciate
any recommendations.
