Re: heres what i did today (pics)

Prolly the strongest way to go.It may have been tough cuting that 1/4" pipe,but it saved you alot of other work.Nice idea.Very aesthetic.

Re: heres what i did today (pics)

Looks good but I would add a plate to teh inside of the frame as well. That is a large notch and the frame could use the extra help in that location.
