I actually started this before the NewWay Quadradent (Quadradent), but since I was attempting to make my own tubes I wanted to make some progress before starting a thread. And again, I will have a "stop work" for 3 weeks effective this Saturday, so it will not be complete by then.
My concept is to cut Matboard and make triangular tubes. I purchased the board and ready for cutting
I started off cutting a length of 2x4 with slots at 30 degrees to use as a jig. You will notice one side is cut a little deeper. The cutout piece is saved for the jig operation.
The concept (this is a dry run) is place a strip of mat board in the "short" side.
Then apply glue on the edge of the second piece and place on other side
To make the tube, a length of wax paper is put into the jig. Side one is installed.
The cutout piece from the jig is also covered with wax paper. I used tape on the ends to hold it on.
Add a bead of glue to the second piece. Place in jig against the first piece. Place the cutout piece on and clamp. Repeat until all three corners are glued.
