He is using 1 1/4 inch all around. I had to assist on a couple occasions and that piece wasn't a joke. At one time he was lifting the pieces himself. I'm also happy they started now and not Monday. The process they go through building is surprisingly more than I thought. But I did get a good contact off the Weldon 40.
