Dang! just picked up a length of 7.5 metres 25x25x3mm mild steel box section to start me CNC build.

It was £25.66 in VAT($40.91) thats a hefty price just for one length and I probably need another 3.5metres? to complete the gantry.

I suppose really its cheaper than going the Aluminium route so I must not complain too much.

Bed size is...
750mm x 600mm x 350mm

I'll be housing the Motherboard(PC) and all electronics within the bed frame below the bed so that alls I need to connect up is a monitor&Keyboard to the CNC

Everything's going up but our paychecks !

Right. Getting the speculators out of the oil market would help some.

If you "get the speculators out of the marker" then it is no longer a market.

You could re name it the Government Oil Depot or GOD and you know if they run it it will much more efficient and lower cost like the DMV or Veteran ADM or USPS or SS ADM or......

Seems you do not know the difference between a speculator and an investor. But that is ok. You can pay the price just like the rest of us. Thanks for today's laugh.

Anybody that is in the commodities market is a speculator and an investor. The are not buying physical things like stocks and bonds, they are investing in the futures of that product, whether it's gas, oil, pig bellies, fruits, veggies, grain, or whatever. The speculators are what actually provide price stability to the market, unlike what the media and certain populist politicians would like to have you believe.

Not exactly. But hey, it is not my job to explain it to you. Right?

[wendtmk]

Ummm, yeah, pretty much exactly. Commodities are mostly futures trades, with the exception of spot trades, on certain exchanges, like the Chicago market. They are not stock exchanges, like the NYSE or NASDAQ. Read up a little on what commodities markets really are:

[wendtmk]

Oh, I'm not upset at all.

Please do give your explanation. I'm sure the rest of us would like to be as well informed as you

I don't think you understand markets the way you think you do.
