I actually had priced out durabar but all the suppliers I contacted were $15-$20 more per foot than McMaster Carr which really surprised me. I also checked into having the block cast and if I was making 10,000 of them it would make sense but all the upfront costs for a one off was almost laughable. If in the future I get in a position to make lots of these I'll be able buy it from the suppliers in bulk which would make it quite a bit cheaper.
