I am just about finished with the tool holders for my norman style qctp and already realize that I am going to need more tool holders. Can you ever have too many?? I see an add on Craigslist for a company selling some 1018 crs 1 1/4" x 2" flat bar. Stop by and it is a CNC machine shop trying to sell their drops instead of sending them out for scrap value. Owner asked if there is anything else I could use and I mention 2" to 2 1/2" round bar. Takes me over to another rack and there is a 6" long piece of 2" round bar 1018 crs. That will work and he gives it to me no charge. They had a lot of other stuff that I can see would be useful for other projects down the road. And at less than $1 per lb fits nicely in my budget. The shop is in Visalia, CA. 1130 E. Acequia Street.
I now have the material. No excuse not to start making it.
