Made some Tube Doors
Well This is what I came up. Now I got all this pipe for free and i don't think it was the right pipe for this application but I wanted to teach my self how to weld and I think this thinner tube was perfect. I measures it at .120 so im thinking conduit not sure. I'm open to complete criticism and suggestions.
Id like to do the Tube bend style once i get the proper pipe. Another thing Is i cant quite figure out the latch. Found this and it might work, Rotary latch

what about cutting the corners on 45 degree angles?
That way you get the rounded look on the corners. |

Looks pretty cool. For your latches, I'm sure one of these will be the right size for this application.

I have been planning a set of my own too. I have a bender but here is a site where you can buy pre-bent material that you weld yourself. a great way to get the bent tubes with out bending them yourself.
http://jeeptubes.com/Doors.html this site shows a write up on doors and a cheap latch idea I am going to use on mine. http://www.nwjeepn.com/tubedoors.html
