BE AWARE! You must make a base for the supports, if you dont then they will be useful. Again. you need a base for the supports.

The biggest flaw with this is that they are not layered, so this is not the right way to make tube supports.

I was thinking the same thing, Max. The rods need to be staggered so the tubes are more structural.

Nice tutorial Mike. I think it's a nice basic guide for newer members to learn about tubes. It might be an idea to expand a bit, maybe some footer examples.

this is a tutorial for basic tube supports. not advanced. i know they are not layered, i just wanted to show how to make basic tube supports. thanks anyways

i make tubes more advanced than this but i just wanted to show how to make basic supports for beginners.

Nice tutorial Mike. I think it's a nice basic guide for newer members to learn about tubes. It might be an idea to expand a bit, maybe some footer examples.

Thanks, I actually just made examples of footers. its a cool footer that can be adjusted in lots of angles. check it out.
