1.the tube support.
When making a tube support try to have the black connectors not all line up doing so will creat a week spot.
2.The base.
This is the base that Gump made up for Speed O Fear.It is very strong.
3.connecting the supports sideways.
Most coasters today dont have the supports angeled out at a 45* angel.This is how I do it but I'm shore there is other ways.
4.The base for the sideways support.
I dont know if this is the best way to do it but it worked for me.
I hope this helps some people understand tube supports more.If anyone wants to add on to this be my guest.

Here are the realistic box supports...
To emphasize my point of stressing pieces...
Close ups of my tube to tube / tube to track connections...
My kick ass same footer supports. This emphasizes the random connections I mentioned...
This is what some of you may have missed. I do not use the snowflake connectors because I have like none of them. Instead I just use the blue 3D connector. It's basically just as strong, and uses the basically useless 3D connectors. You will see the other purple/grey 3D's in random places...
This pic is courtesy of KCB Designs. My very strong single single low footer...
