[python] Re: Tubing/welding

Hi Bjorn!

Here in Brazil, the thinest square tubing is 20 mm wide, because this kind of 
tube is made by bending a plain steel blade and welding ("sewing") to form a 
square/rectangular tube. 10 mm wide tubes are made by extrusion, i.e., they 
don't have the joining weld.

I've used 30 x 20 x 0.9 mm, because it is lighter than the 1.5 thick.

  Hello all,
  I am a new member and thrilled by the thought of building a Python. My metal 
work experience is minimal and I have a few questions:
  I am unable to find (here in Oslo, Norway) tubing in the size 40x10x1,5 mm. 
40x20x1,5 and 30x20x1,5 are available. What to choose?
  Secondly: I have an extremely simple buzz box type welding machine. Would it 
be sufficient or do I need the fancy stuff?
  Bjørn
