I am trying to figure out what is the thinnest gauge of 1in steel tubing i can get for the mobile workbench shown in the picture. Im not going to be putting extremely heavy things on it, mostly for general fabricating and building. I do both wood and metal projects.
The top will likely be a thick piece of mdf or plywood.
I am trying to build this as cheaply as possible, hence the reason why i would like to use tubing that is a bout .065 in thickness, which is at about 50cents a foot at my metal supply.
Would that thickness work with a design like this or maybe just putting tubing about 1/8 in thick on the perimeter be sufficient?
