2 x 2 x .062 is a funny size. You can laser/punch sheet metal and form it then weld/rivet.

Thinking out of the box maybe try making the tube out of round tube stock which readily available. I was showing Austin the other day some samples and how strong/light the round tube stock is. Maybe he can show you the samples.

Extrusion is another way of getting the thin wall material.

The metal suppliers we use in the Bay Area are:

Tube Service
Ryerson
Lusk
Reliance Metal Center
Coast Aluminum
PDM
