I'll take some time off work next week and visit a couple of local places to see what I can find, metal wise. Build table first, then 3" tubing. I still have a shedload of the smaller tubing in 4130 from my aircraft fabrication days, so I need to inventory what I already have there.

Also, I need to buy/build/scrounge the stuff I need to actually do the work. All of my aircraft frames were oxy welded, and I built my fishmouths by hand. I think I need a MIG welder and a real tube notcher for this. Anyone have preferences/suggestions?
