Default 16 Foot Straightedge?

You might try a metals junkyard. They sometimes have lengthy aluminum
extrusions (Architectural shapes with rectangular cross sections)
salvaged from office buildings which are being torn down. The cost
would based on weight and probably more economical than any new
provider.

Hey, anyone got a suggestion for a 16 foot long straightedge? I'd like
to be able to use it for template routing, rather than jointing, the
edges of long panels and boards. I'm thinking an aluminum extrusion
would be the way to go.
