I might mention something that might be of interest to anyone building anything with lattice or rungs. It's much easier to drill holes in the square brass tubing and then insert the rungs or lattice pieces into the holes, then solder. That way the pieces dont have to be cut to exact length, and it makes for a stronger joint. I pin the tubes to a board all straight and square before soldering.

Thank you all for the comments so far Dan
