Where did you get the Aluminum bars and plexi? Also what was your rough cost on this build?

I live in Canada. I got this at RenoDepot. But I think you can get this at any good hardware store !
Wood square dowel: 1/2 X 1/2 X 48 (1.20$)
Aluminium square tube: 1/2 X 1/2 X 1/16 X 8 (15$)
Plexiglass sheet: 1/8, enough to make 3 quads (about 15$)

You can get some really good aluminum square tubes at the Home Depot in the bath section. They're actually towel racks, but they work great and are lighter than anything else you can get that's aluminum.

Thank you! I just ordered... I already broke my lens and had to replace with knock off version but still cost me $30 and it was a little hassle to replace as well.. I wish I had this before...
