If you want a frame other than HF , TSC etc and are not a welder,you might check with local community college or tech school welding classes. Advanced students NEED real world experience and are usualy looking for projects. Instructors don't want to let a problem out the door so are careful about quality. Schools usualy get very good prices on materials also. There might be restrictions about competing with local businesses but by dealing with student school stays in clear. Just a thought....... Will

When I was in high school (granted that was 25 years ago) I made a little spending money doing side jobs for all the teachers friends. In my metal shop class the teacher promoted doing side jobs as real world experience. It got you to work a little harder to get your classwork done so you had more time to do the odd jobs too.
