Just found this while on e-bay, 2x2x72 in steel tubing for under $20 a piece. Damn good price compared to what I can find elsewhere.

Steel tube
I found the tubing for my press at Morse Steel in bellingham. It is a big warehouse that caters more to the industrial customer. It cost be about $200 for enough steel to make an 8 foot long frame with extra reinforcement. I had them all cut to ten foot lengths from 20 foot lengths so they would fit in the back of my truck. I am sure most towns have some sort of industrial steel supply place like this.
I saw that online place too, but the local vendor was actually cheaper. Plus, steel is pretty darn heavy, and I can't imagine what shipping would cost on something like that.
