Basically I start with 3/4 inch flat bar and remove 1/4 inch

Unequal leg angle or a custom extrusion are the two thoughts that
come to mind.

I may not go this way, but those are both ideas I had not thought of.
Unequal leg angle would be very good if I could find the right one. Think
they make one that's 1x6x1/2? Suitable unequal leg angle would probably
have to be your second idea. A custom extrusion. Maybe a couple of them.
If my work volume gets that high I might consider something like that.
