this is what I plan to make out of 2"x2" steel tube and weld it. It will be 78" long.

I am going to make a ski press using 14 gauge 2"x2" hollow tubing. the length will be 78" long and I am going to try and use threaded rod to hole it together but I need help deciding a safe size to use so it won't break when I put a max of 80PSI distributed on the press.

You don't even have a legit signature, nothing to reveal who you are and what you do...
