hi james & welcom , i´m using 25x25x1.5mm because we dont have the 1.6 in sweden & i didnt want to use 2mm. as for the welding, i´m going with the tig welder because i use tig at work all the time & i feel it gives the best result all around , the down side is it takes a little longer but the result is worth it.

squbti, 25x25x1.5 is actually exactly what's specified. Turns out the sheet metal gauge is a bit different from wire gauge. 16 gauge sheet is 1.52 mm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal#Gauge Note that the tolerance range is 1.39 through 1.64 mm.
Having said that, did you measure the thickness of your tubes? Mine are somewhere around 1.7, even though nominally it's 1.5. Last edited by alga : 20th August 2009 at 12:46 AM.

hi alga, i´m almost sure that 16 gauge is closer to 1.6mm which as it turns out we dont have here
 so i had to choose between 1.5 or 2mm thick but maybe i just dont understand what is meant by 16 gauge!! is it not the thickness?
