I found some stainless tube I had left over from making oil lines and decided to use it to reinforce my chianti cargo box. My intention was to releave the force on the wood panels from any junk I put in the box while also providing a place to tie straps to.
I didn't spend much time doing this and formed the ends of the tube with a hammer and vice. Smoothed the metal and then heated the stainless to change the color to a bronze. Heat slowly and evenly to change stainless to the color you want. Then let it cool for a second to see what color will remain.
Next ill add an aluminum plate to the base so I can load this thing with weeks worth of crap like a minivan.
