Go to Goodwill or other thrift stores. Lots have bed frames, that they
will give you or sell for a buck or less. Good source of angle iron.


Bed rails are good strong steel, somewhat like 1045. I think they are
recycled manganese-steel railroad track. They are more difficult to saw,
drill and weld than hot-rolled mild steel.
