Thanks    They're torii and cylinders...  That was the probably the hardest
part for me... figuring out how to calculate it so everything would line
up.

I think there are bolts that have a rounded head and go in from the outside
so that the nut is inside/under the stool.  But on the outside, I think the
tubing had kindof an indentation to make room for the head of the bolt, so
the head was "kindof" flush with the tubing.  Not sure sure if that makes
any sense.
