Okay what i am asking is on ur center bar for example is that just laying in the bottom pipe and then u welded it in place or did u cut out a joint to make it a tighter fit? That a lil better?

I think what hes asking is did you notch the conduit before you welded it. Like where the top bar and the bottom come together in the top right corner. I would assume you did or you would have some crazy gaps to fill....
