Re: Help!! trouble finding materials!
Looks like you can get 3x3x.125 and 4x4x.125 here http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?id=69&step=2 and here http://www.metalsdepot.com/products/...e=tube&LimAcc=

EDIT: I can't find anything larger than 4x4 even locally at our GIANT metal supplier Industrial Metal Supply. Perhaps you want to look into using sheet and then bending it up. You should be able to get the three bends, but the fourth side may need to be a separate piece that gets welded in/on.
