Looks pretty good - and I've bookmarked the site. I have a supply of
flat and angle 6061 stock in my shop that I use for building my solar
panels and tend to use cut-offs from that for projects like this. I
generally avoid buying the stuff at retail whenever possible - and
it's fairly economical for me.

Thanks for the link!
