Tripod - getting the legs ready

So, i've a real concern that the supplied legs over time will either bow with the weight of the body, or the joins will snap.

Hedging my bets by going this way.

I've cut some same diameter brass rod to the right lengths.

And i've shaved down the resin legs at the knees, hips and feet so that i can cut them down and slide them into the brass tube.

Ta to CFX for that one.
