Looking at things from all angles.
Just messing around putting together ideas for a build.
Pricing things out here and there figuring out what I actually might be able to afford.
I already have complete setups in mind but this is so I can price out what it would be for me to go custom on things.

Just wondering if anyone has an idea what I can expect for a price range on custom steel stand? Really don't want to call and waste a company time I am no where close to pulling trigger on anything.

lets just say in the 61L x 25w x 34h (stand may be smaller but I know I am not going any longer than 60" or 25 wide)

Was also considering the 8020 or similar. I know there are a couple people out there who used this just wondering what people are paying?
 
All depends....

Will you be doing the work/fabrication yourself?

I paid for materials alone $212.70 from Atlas Metal Works LLC. South Windsor CT, they wanted $300 for labor if they welded it. I'm good with a welder so I saved myself the labor charge and knocked it out. In calling around for a metal stand and internet searches the range was $1500 - $2800 and up depending on size.
 
Humm I wonder how rusty my wife is :) She graduated from metal welding school a few moons ago, well maybe add a few thousand moons ha ha

I would probably have it done

If I went the 8020 route I just need to come up with dimensions.
