[Spridgets] Steel grades

[Tim Collins]

Dave,
I didn't know that they weren't available. I did a search and found 
something similar at: made-in-china.com -- of course. However, those 
are a bit better construction than the ones I tested since the strap 
that holds the legs from spreading in welded on the bottom of the 
stand to form a base. The ones I tested had the strap on the side of 
the legs so the stand was supported on the edge of the tubing. I 
suppose the tube stands were just to cheap to make much of a profit. 
I have 4 tube type that I use from time to time.
