Re: Home Build Option 80/20

I wish I could find surplus 80/20 up here... I've seen some killer deals on it in the US but that stuff is pretty dang rare up here in new condition, let alone used or surplus...

Electronics manufacturing companies and aerospace companies use up (and then surplus) tons of it.

I am on mailing lists for industrial equipment auctions and see the stuff come up fairly frequently. I assume Canada has equipment auctions too? Good places to look for it.

Expensive? For all that? HA! I think it's a bargain. The weight savings alone would probably pay for the extrusions and hardware through better fuel mileage.
Superb points! The caveat "compared to what?" is pretty much my mantra is almost everything for all of life.
