I have spent a couple hours looking and I keep finding the wrong stuff. I need a source to buy telescoping tubing (round) either thin wall steel or aluminum AND connectors for 3way and 4 way corners, compression nuts, threaded inserts, sliding collars, screw set collars and connectors. This would be for 3/4" to 1" range of tubing. The corners may be couplings like a PVC type corner or a poly insert plug type deal.
I have googled my brains out but I must not be using the right search phrases. I've also turned to the bible of building, the MSC catalog. No luck.
If you think about various photo tripods or metal/tube rack systems or even camping tent frames, something like that you are on the right track. I keep finding all kinds of electrical or plumbing fittings or couplings but not 'construction' type fittings. Any pointers to a source would be greatly appreciated. To make this a legit on topic post, this is for a light tent for knife picture taking. I've made one with PVC pipe but I'm looking to make a little better unit. Thanks for any help.
