Frame ordered

Rather than spend hundreds of dollars in extra power tools (I'm aware I just lost some of my manhood by saying this), I ordered the frame from MiniTec (Thanks Jeff Kelly for helping us out on the phone).  They have a very similar framing solution to Bosch but do custom cutting and according to my dad, will be stronger for this application use.  Using the Bosch system, we'd have to get some additional tools along with the metal, not including the fittings would have cost about $350 to $400.  Now our parts are being cut to length to exact measurements on the proper machinery.

With shipping, it will cost about $470, however that includes a drill press and a tap for some alterations we'll need to do.  Plus there are some extra parts ordered to reduce shipping costs and build delays.  So total I'd say $350 for everything.  I'll post the final list of parts once we get the frame assembled.

I'll create a video interviewing my dad to explain why things are being done the way they are (since to be honest, I don't fully understand why, I just nod my head to make him happy) along with actually building the frame from the pre-cut material.
