Making a circular table edge

Dear friends,

Today, I continue to work with my circular table. I needed to make a circular edge so I calculated the circumference with the radius I measured. Radius = 60.3 cm so the circumference = 2Pi x R = 23.1460.3 = 378.87 ~ 379 =149.16 in = 14 ft 1 in. I will need two 1" steel hollow tubes for the edge. And I had to calculate how long the hollow tube I would need for one table. So I drew a sketch in solidworks and noted down the measurement and calculated how many steel hollow tubes I would need. The unit in the following drawing is in inches.

Then, in the afternoon I bought the required materials and started bending a tube in the evening. I used 0.6 inch 1.2mm tick hollow tubes (instead of 1") for reinforcing the table edge. I use my manual bender to bend the steel. It took some time for me because I gradually increase the curvature. Because it was manual, it was like an arm movement exercise for me. The following is my activity record and the result of my work.

I bended one tube first; I will attach It to the table tomorrow. I hope it turn out well.

That's some of my activities I would like to share with you for today. Other time, I did house chores and ran errands for my mother and myself.
