Anybody in Tampa area that builds steel stand frames?

Hey there. Well I'm thinking my stand for my new reef should be built from steel tubing. Dimensions are 84x34x36tall. I was hoping to get this done somewhere local. Anybody know where to get this done? How much can I expect it to be?

Thanks!
Chris

Check out mine in my gallery. It's now powdercoated. Also check out: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=962136

That stand is awsome. Did you build that? How much would something like that cost?

I sort of copied sidewinder770 and designed my own. I cut all the pieces and Jeff, a welder/mechanic in my shop welded it. It's 240 feet of 1.5" square tubing. It took me about 4 hours to cut and us about 10 hours to assemble. Then I had it powdercoated.

Nice work. I've had several car parts powder coated in the past so I can only imagine how nice that looks.

Anyway back to Chris's question before I end up stealing the thread;

Who around here will do this kind of work?

My welder will build one. It's not cheap. Powder coated and delivered is about $2K.

Is that including material?
