Since you have the same rack I have been watching this thread intently, depending on how much of the cost (& if you want to as well) I would have you make a set for me. Also I will say this, doing 3 bars for support is a great idea.

From setup to cleanup its about 10-12 hours of work to make a set. Material for a set of 6 costs between $50-60 after tax and shipping. I'm a busy guy with 2 kids at home and a lot of other projects/hobbies. So, although I would be happy to make a set for you, I'm not sure if they're worth as much to you as a full day of work is to me. If I could knock them out in 1-2 hours total it'd be a no brainer, I'd probably ask for $150 for a set of 6 (that's about $70 profit after material and shipping them) and knock them out one morning before lunch. But being that if I start at 9am and wont finish till the evening.... hell even if I only ask for $30/HR that puts it at a good $350/set which I doubt anyone is willing to spend.

If enough people want a set I can try getting a quote from a local machine shop (they'd knock them out a lot quicker on a CNC). Although I'd guess it'd still be $200-$300 for a set, at least they'll be precision machined (so more bang for your buck ).

I fully understand and agree. With it taking so much of your time, it is not fessable.

Lol it got to the point after I made the first 2 (not complete though) where I almost just scrapped the idea. That's when I modified the design to eliminate the milled channel for the bar to sit in just to make it worth finishing.
