Glad to see you are planning to use it, it can be really useful.
I could be totally wrong here, but I'm not sure that you will get much use out of waiting until you have machinery simply to match the hole pattern in square tubing though. I wouldn't save money by replicating the hole pattern, I would save money by going without it.
Maybe I am undervaluing the usefulness of that hole pattern, if so could someone enlighten me? I see it as something that can save you some measuring when trying to line things up, but can also cause you to waste time cutting the tubing so the holes line up perfectly, and can make mounting near a hole a serious pain as it ruins the strength of the metal at that point.
