I want to practice tig welding tubing as I assume welding thin wall stuff is an entirely different ball game than plate steel. Does anyone know anywhere to buy steel tubes that will go some way to mimicking the experience of welding 4130 without the cost?

Ceeway sells practice tubes I believe

Also I think quite a few people pick up junk / broken / cheap frames to cut up and practice on

Just buy some bottom end plain gauge top or down tubes from Ceeway.

Cutting stuff up and cleaning paint/powdercoat/rust off is more hassle than it’s worth.
