It would seem to me that you would want the round gusset to contact as much woodas the standard do. That would me more plywood to make the gussets and moresquare inches (surface area) for each gusset.

My experience with working with 4130 has shown that it is better to heat andflatten then to do it cold. When doing it cold I got numerous fine cracksin the tubing. When heated to a nice orange color it bends like butter in avice and no cracks. I personally would not hit tubing with a hammer whenhot. The heat needed to bend should have no effect on the strength of themetal. ChrisSacramento, CaWestcoastpiet.com _____
