Or,you could read all the suggestions and try those.It`s been well explained,I think,already.

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.
