I found the 1" x 2" x 1/16" wall rectangular tubing online so all I had to do was machine the top and bottom plates.  Not too difficult, but just getting time on a mill is not that easy for me.  I have a friend who has a very nice table-top machine with DRO, etc.  Nice little machine, but I do limit what I ask him to let me do just because I hate to impose on his time.  I sure wish I had room for one of those (or a Bridgeport!) in my garage...
