Whoa!
I never expected that!
Thank you for looking in!
I am just trying to build something that is comfortable & functional by today's standards.
I originally never expected it to be this nice!

Hey Gary!
Thanks for the compliment!
I am 99% sure that the tubing is 1-1/8" O.D x .088 wall thickness, but I haven't physically measured it.
I wanted it to be thin enough to be able to torsionally twist some...
Your thoughts?
