You can build a fine stainless frame for under two hundred, Rochford supply sells aluminum frame kits for seventy five bucks. They have the lowest prices for fittings and canvas that you will find anywhere. Stainless fittings for under three dollars, some canvas for under two bucks a yard. check out the topgun seconds and shorts for around five. if youd like a primer on bending and patterning Id be glad to share my methods.

Thanks for this great offer
I'm sure many could benefit from your expertise... but, I don't have a sewing machine.
I'm going to check out the link you supplied though. Maybe I can do my own frame and save some money there.
