I was thinking of making some tubular bumpers and a rack as winter projects
but perhaps square or rectangular might be a good option but from what I
have seen they don't look as nice...

so.. as a request maybe you could show me your great looking bumpers and
roof racks made of square to rectangular tubing.

thanks,

peter
