Oh, and one other things. When I worked for a steel company 3 years ago, we
bent some 3/8" plate 3'x9' into 3'x3'x3' cubes. When we did the second bend,
the material bubbled up. Why... because the material came from china and
still had the remains of tin cans in the steel. So watch where you buy
material from when you build it. Make sure it is from USA which has a max of
25% scrap instead of china and taiwan which can be 100% in scrap.
