Kasenit is cheap.

Doubt they have it at Ace though.

You could start with pipe if you can find an appropriate size.

I've got a bit of water pipe, should make good cutters...

If you don't have a forge for heating, etc.,

Currently I'm making do with bits of firebrick and one torch or another.
I've got some refractory curing downstairs for a 3" i.d. 8" long 2" wall
forge, should work nice... I'll try 'er tomorrow...

used (broken) automotive coil springs are good for making many
tools where HSS or carbide isn't needed.

I've got a big bar, a broken torsion bar.. wonder how the hell I'll cut that
up and use it. Hehehe.

Do you have a lathe?

The start of a wood lathe, but if you want to send me 50-100lbs of aluminum
scrap and the Gingery Lathe booklet I'll get back to 'ya.
