I picked up my material(steel tubing) at a local salvage yard. They had new and used pieces. The used pieces only had some rust marks on them so I bought those. It was only $0.32/lb. Since they didn't have small pieces, I had to buy the 20'.
I went to local fab shop to see how much it would cost for them to provide the material and they were asking about $3.00/ft. $60.00 for one 20' tubing was too much when I got 2 20' tubing for about $40.00 at the salvage yard.
