T Shaped Bath Rail

[urch55]

Here is a project I got myself into. A friend of 36 years recommended me to a contractor that was remodeling a bathroom. He needed a T shaped hand rail. The horizontal rail is for helping getting off the toilet, while the vertical post will help while entering and exiting the walk in shower. The pictures shows what the contractor drew up and I fabricated for him. The tubing is 2" OD. and 11 Gauge thickness. The plates are 1/4" thick. As I look at the close up shot of the T I missed some splatter I will knock that off and buff it out.

Looks like stainless...is it? Did it warp at the joint, or maybe it's just the camera. When I was building hand rails, it would warp at the T joints, and to compensate, I just heated the opposite side to pull it straight.

Yes it is stainless. But it did not warp, after taking the picture I noticed it as well. So I plumbed it and it is straight. While taking the photo it's leaning a compound angle against the shed, if you look at the second photo line up the rail with the ribs of the shed you can see it's leaning at a angle and I think that is what makes it look like it's warped..

Perspective distortion makes parallel lines seem to flow apart or together.
