[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 1596, member: 55"] I forgot to mention that you don't have to use the funky stuff that we have. We have a bunch because a local company uses them for something, and has a whole bunch of scraps about 18 inches long. They sell those pieces for scrap at our local scrapyard. We buy these at a slightly higher rate (I think about 2 bucks a pound as these are the higher grade extrusions) than they scrap them for, but less than buying this stuff new. It would cost a LOT more than that new. You could use almost any chunk of aluminum barstock you can find. Also, you don't need a metal cutting bandsaw to cut aluminum (although it is handy :D ) You can do it just fine on a miter saw with a rather toothy carbide blade. Just go slow. Or, you can go old school and use a hacksaw. I figured some people might find this useful. [/QUOTE]
