Here is some update to the process so far:

What lengths do you think people want? 30 ft helps, because it will support itself. I still have not figured out the best method and length to ship. Susie says she has released the drawings to the die department to make the dies. I think they EDM them. At least that is how they used to do it.

30 ft of each is 40 lbs total, not a bad shipping weight. I recommend that he purchase more of the 2 and 3 inch frame than the slide. I think we will use the frames for a lot of the structure, and use the slide only for movements. We may only use the slide in short pieces, bolted to frame parts.

I am thinking about asking about an angle as well.

I have sent the 3 inch angle drawing to SAPA as well. Here is the shape I am floating. I have asked what their time would be.
