Really nice .
Where do get the 1/4 rod? I was able to find copper clad rod at a
local welding supply, but I thought $2.20 plus per pound was a bit
high. They won't be stocking it anymore. I am in St. Louis. Bare
steel 3/16" is 20 feet for $5. at .094 lb per foot that is also more
expensivie than welding wire, which I buy in Chicago for $.80 lb. Even
with freight its cheaper to buy out of town.

Have you considered using the mild steel 3/16 wire used for the top
tensioning strand in chain link fences? While it does come on a
roll..its easy to straighten and is dirt cheap. But it is galvanized.
A bit of a dip in a PVC tube of swimming pool acid..and the galvanized
is gone. Stainless steel wire for the same purpose is not much more
money either.

Shrug.
