2-DISPLAY (HOW-TO) Metal frame; RIFLE DISPLAY WITH LED LIGHTS

This is is how I cut 3/4 tubing, and welded it to make the frame that would stand up by itself after attaching the mesquite wood base and cap to it. I ended up having to weld, paint, stain, carve and install LED lights. It is not what I first intended, this thing took on a life of its own. I honestly started out with no clue and just added things as I went along, which made things difficult but it worked out well.
