What is the best method to join two hollow tubes together?

[Buddy]

Hello, I would like to know

how I can join two hollow tubes together so they will be able to be taken apart and put back together.
What kind of joint can I create and how to do it?
How best can I create either a small screw together joint or another type of snap fit joint.

Thank you for your assistance.

A lap joint is the best method for aligning and joining two tubes. Assuming the tubes are rigid, I would use a bayonet design to lock and unlock the two tubes. Here’s a Q&D approach.

Brilliant . Is was thinking of threading it .

Outstanding work Mike.

Very nice, which command takes the sketch of the “L” shape and projects it to match the inside curve of the tube?

[TigerMike]

Use the Project tool.
