Online metals has it all and will cut it and ship it for you too. I never realized you could ship an 8 foot pipe!

In that case, you could possibly do even better than EMT. Her employer can probably requisition steel tubing at wholesale.

and ebay

Post by fiatben »

there is a seller from St. Louis MO, ssshapiro, that sells various lengths of 1" x 0.065" steel tubing on ebay. Shipping is expensive for a single piece, but they will combine to reduce the overall cost for multiple pieces. I've been thinking about a couple of 8 footer just in case I really want to get crazy.
'55 Greenie #292284 (Mar-55), '89 SS 510 #020989, Mark VII #408551 (sold 10/14/12), SS Band Saw, (SS 500 #36063 (May-79) now gone to son-in-law as of 11-11), Magna bandsaw, Magna jointer 16185 (May-54), Magna belt sander SS28712 (Dec-82), Magna jigsaw SS4397 (Dec-78), SS biscuit joiner, Zyliss (knockoff) vise, 20+ hand planes, 60s Craftsman tablesaw, CarbaTec mini-lathe, and the usual pile of tools.

Wow thanks fiatben, this guy has ssshapiro it all:

I'm thinking the ERW would be an acceptable substitute for the stainless?

Best,
