[TheForge] Square tube question...

[Steven Smith]

Enrique sure does nice work--smithing and filming.
I'd have to second Frosty--forging the tubing square should be workable. 
To match the size, you'll have to start larger, resulting in thicker 
walls. You may want to think about how much weight you will actually save.
