In other news, I'm also going to make up a dummy section of tube to do a crush test on and see how the actual stiffened tube compares with my calcs. I'm not worried about the strength of the tubes along the length of the tube but I'm intrigued as to how fragile they are to lateral impact. After all 3mm of wood doesn't stand up to much as a flat sheet.
