True enough, too bad you're there and I'm here.

It'll be covered, I don't care it will look like.
I kind of like the "that won't work" look anyway. HA!

You can get away with 1" tube with a minimum of a 1/8" wall thickness. If you are putting any kind of covering on the stand it will help to support it from any movement. If you are concerned about it 1 1/2" x .100 wall tube is the best choice, keeps the stand light but still has more then enough support.

Awesome Greg!!! Have enough fun for me too! Oh, and take pics so you can share them with us!
The covering will be attached with magnets, so it will provide no support. I guess I should have mentioned that.
From everyone's input, I think I'll go with the 1" and get one size up from the 1/8" thickness (whatever that is). Maybe I will put some 45 degree braces in most of the corners too just for poops and giggles. Now I just need to rent a steel chop saw (whatever that's called).
