alright, i just called my steel supplier and was quoted $18.80 per 24 ft stick of 1 1/2 16ga square tube... eat yer flippin heart out, yer gettin screwed

and thats delivered to my front door to the shop in the morning

14ga=0.0747, 16ga=0.0598
$18.80/24 = $0.78 * 0.0747 / 0.0598 = $0.97

Guess that extra $0.07 is for delivery
