Yes Guppy1 we must be under the same dome!We are about 40-50 miles apart I think. I had a 42" pipe section from a previous project. The I-beam and square tubing came from a good friend who had a lot of scrap metal. He also had the axle shaft, and I had some materials from a mobile home demo.If I had to buy all the materials it probably would be cheaper to rent one, there is a place in Gatesville I checked and I think it was $900 a week for a vibratory padfoot roller. But it took me 3 months to layer and pack the core so I needed something long term.
