I'm with Grant, get a piece of 1/4" wall


It would be just as easy (and only about $10. more) to use .250" but if
..125" is more than strong enough, making this lighter would be nice for
lugging it around when i'm not using it. I have a habit of adding all
kinds of extra supports and brackets on stuff i make but sometimes it's
just overkill. I guess i was really wondering how much weight or force
it would take to bend the .125" stock.
Thanks for all the comments so far fellas.
