It seemed to be widely practiced to pack the tube with wood, to make the tube less likely to bend and kink when used for pushing.
I didn't really pick up on this until I had welded mine up. I never found out what is the best way to do it but assumed shorter pieces of closely fitting "dowel" hammered in, would be preferable to one continuous slacker fitting rail; the idea being to hold the walls of the tube out than actually incorporate the strength of the wood. Anybody have comments/experience on this?
