Reply:You can buy nesting shapes but they often are more expensive than stock shapes. As an alternative you can cut the weld out with a broach. Basically you draw the broach through the tube with a winch and it cuts out the weld seam allowing stock shapes to nest.  I've been thinking of building one for ages.
