Pole Jack? What can these aluminum tube pieces be up cycled into?
1″ outside diameter, very sturdy,
May 13, 2021 at 10:41 am #3712436What is the internal diameter?
May 13, 2021 at 10:43 am #3712437Fire bellows
May 13, 2021 at 10:49 am #3712438inside diameter about 13/16″
May 13, 2021 at 12:43 pm #3712446If you can’t find some ready made pieces on ebay I’d turn some spigots and they would make perfect centre poles for bigger hot tent mids. Or heavy duty bridge hammock spreader bars!
May 13, 2021 at 8:34 pm #3712479Make baseplates with a locating hole and use them as an adjustable extender for a CF tipi pole. Just drill holes at 55mm centres leaving the top and bottom section undrilled

but with aluminum, not steel legs. You could just buy the heavy version for $10 at Cabella’s and reuse the stitched seat and that plastic core ring. Or replace each component with UL materials.May 17, 2021 at 6:40 pm #3713056Good thoughts.
