And so it begins

Great looking sticks! Did anyone look at the weight saving for perforated tubing?

I’m not real tech savvy lol. I’m not sure what you mean by a link? I was thinking you could drill holes in the tubing on both sides alternating so the hole are not in the same location on both sizes

Drill a hole the whole waythrough tubing rotate the tube move up the tube one drill diameter repeat the process I can look in the machinists handbook I know there’s a table chart in there for perforated metals weight savings vs. strength or maybe someone that has a cad model would be able to do it.

I was thinking you could purchase it perforated? I will look in to this.

Just did some number crunching using your stick weights. Looks like you can shave off an extra pound per three sticks with 50 percent perforations

I like it do you have dimensions? Will it affect the structural integrity of the post?

I have my machinists handbook at work I’ll look Tuesday night at it and see what might work best. As long as you alternate the pattern of the holes like on perforated sheet metal that shouldn’t be enough to affect the integrity for what we’re using them for. I just looked on hunting beast and dan’s personal sticks are perforated.

I’ve see the pics of Dans sticks but wondered what the wall thickness is and if he had the posts drilled or bought them

I’d think his wall thickness is around a 1/16 for his step to come in around 1.4lbs each he probably had them drill the way aluminum tubing is extruded it would be efficient to have the holes stamped in. It wouldn’t be hard to drill you could do it with a hand held drill just time consuming.
