    My school spends too much money on red astroturf and restoring buildings to be able to support a project like that...

    we get 10,000 from the school per year, but that usually doesn't cover everything so we have to find our own funding. Lots of local businesses usually pitch in since this is such a small town.

    When you notch try going for a fish mouth type shape aka less pointy at the high parts. It makes it easier to weld and looks cleaner. Other than that you did a good notch! ;)

    For Metal bending as well have any of you guys worked with one of these Benders? I have used them a couple of times and are great for bending angle iron or flat bar.
