Made some speaker stands using Speedfit push together square steel tubing

Just re-ordered the same to make another pair. 133.90. So about a 15%
increase. Carriage costs exactly the same.

Thought the world was awash with steel?


Have searched for "Speedfit push together square steel tubing" but only
get hits for plumbing stuff.
Do you have a link?

PS The owner of Speedfit, John Guest died in 2010 having started the
company many moons ago and his sons are now selling the business.

I wonder who will buy it ?. Could be a competitor wanting to
remove competition.
