So my uncle just so happens to be in the steel business, and we're tight, so he said if I ever wanted him to weld me a rail he would do it for free. As long as there was not too much steel involved. I've been looking around for examples to show him but all the shots I've found seem to just not be a good angle for a builders need. I was hoping you could post some pics of a blank rail either from the side or head on.

Only post Flat bars. Either double-barrel, or tube, or single barrel.

Thanks. +k for pics and bumps.

This is a side view. Then have braces/supports that, if this were actually a rail, would stick out of the screen and poke yours eyes out. Have them right under the vertical supports.

you and the people who quoted you are such losers. OP in case you dont know, aluminum sucks balls and you catch your edges on it, do not ever make a rail out of aluminum

As you can see here, there will be two boxes to jib on either side of the rail. Then at the end there will be a second jib which will allow multiple bonk techniques.
