People want outrageous sums for these simple hunks of metal - whether its 3b or MTM - and it's pissing me off.  I'll be dammed if I'm gonna pay $300-$700 for a damned aluminum doorstop.

Ben:

Isn't the Dahlback IM a blend of cast and extruded?

even if it isnt, Jim Green and Javad Shadzi have welded up there own EMs...Martin Pajak has done cad drawings on the same.

I see NO reason at all why someone with a TIG gun cant put this together....even a MIG or Stick welder would allow you to tack something together and then bring it to a pro ....
