[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 25375, member: 55"] New aluminum is very costly. Have you seen about getting any used aluminum? At my local scrapyard, used aluminum is 2 dollars a pound. I don't know how they decide what gets saved, and what gets melted, but there is some real useful stuff out there. My tubing for the Yazoo is cut from some aluminum fence sections I found and bought. So far, on my yazoo, I have spent about 425 bucks on aluminum. But, that is a lot better than the 1000 or more that it would have cost me to get it new. Sure, I could of gotten wood a lot cheaper, but the aluminum is lighter, won't rot etc. [/QUOTE]
