Hello Karen,

    Re: cutting on aluminium tubing vs doweling: 

    I can see where that could be a legitimate concern. Frankly my focus
    has been on getting stuff made rather than scrap recycling issues. I
    guess I've got a few things to learn there too ... when the time
    comes. 

    Might be interesting to try some serious hardwood dowels to see if
    they offer the "stiffness" that the aluminium tubing has over the
    average doweling.

Cheers, 
Trevor F.
