4 Ways To Cap Square Tubing - 3 Weld Caps and NO Welding Required on One Cap.
These are the four ways I cap a square tube, the timber end cap plug I have used in my "Rolling Lumber Rack" video. There were 12 open square tube ends that needed a cap, and this was the quickest and easiest way for me to do it. Once painted, you would not know it was not a metal cap. I would not use timber caps in anything structural; a metal end cap is much stronger for that purpose.
The Brand of the Drill bits and cutting/flap discs is "Alpha" If you can't get them at your local hardware shop, here is a link to Alpha Tools: https://alphatools.com.au

Always use all the correct safety gear, and use your tools safely. I am not a good role model for this.
Hope you found something of use in my video or at least found it entertaining.
