Just curious if anybody else uses thin freebie cardboard rolls (wrapping paper for example) and strengthens them with a wrap or two of copy paper and thinned wood glue. Tubes gain a massive amount of rigidity but still have a bit of give to them, without much of a weight penalty at all. Easy to make, easy to sand, and holds paint fairly well.
