so im working on a few things and I cant seem to figure out what kind of metal I wanna use. I mean the professional look of square 1/8th inch 1x1 tubing looks great but I see several ppl using angle iron. Whats YOUR opinions?

Sketch, and measure. Could use a couple feet, could use 30. Entirely depends on your design and lift height.

It all really depends on your design. Might need 10', might need 20'. Be best to measure it out and make sure you order as much or more than you need.
