you might also need a welder of sorts seeing as how the pole could need something to stand on

You need to get a drill with a metal working bit. Then at the end on the poles drill from the outside into the inside BUT DONT go through to the other side. Then you can get some heavy duty screws and washers and attatch them to a pieces of wood. This works ok, but it much better to weld. You can go to a metalworking show and they can build you one if you supply the materials for 20-40dollars american.

I was thinking of making one out of two street sign posts that you would find in a neighborhood. It will basically be a short shotgun rail. My brother is going to do the welding I hope.

Where did you find it?

yeah we stole the pole form a no parking sign at the top of my road. but i think im gonna wait till i can get it welded to do anything. so we just went up to an old high school and hacksawed down a nice rail. cops came so well have to go back and finish it of but it should be good.
