A

Well I brought some EMT and started to cut side A.  I need 30 of these little suckers. I get 2 from a 10' tube. I'm short by 2 of the 10' tubes because our Ace hardware store didn't have much and I got all they had.  I have to wait for their next shipment or drive over 90 miles to the next largest city that has one. I think not, not with the current price of gas.


Basic Materials:

1. 3/4" EMT Conduit - $4.49 at Ace Hardware per 10' section. I just will need 75 but will buy some extras just in case.
2. Bench Vise and handsaw from Walmart. I brought them a long time ago but they were under $10.
3. 1-ton Arbor Press: $49 at Harbor Freight. I use this to start the squishing of the ends of the conduit but finish it off with hammering it down.
4. Tubing Cutter ( sorry I don't remember the cost.)
5. Different color tape @ 2.29 from Ace. The different color tapes are for the 3 different strut sides: 
    A= 4.25feet need 30 of them 
    B=4.919 feet need 40 for them 
    C=5.027 feet need 50 of them.
