Is it possible...

Nah too expensive try Motedis. http://www.motedis.co.uk/shop/index.php

Exactly same stuff and cut to same accurecy but much cheaper, esp the T-nuts etc.
Takes slightly longer to arrive due to being in Germany but not much longer and worth the wait for the savings.

yes looks to be about 20% cheaper as you have to add vat to kjn prices but maximum length is 2m however that would be fine for the above build. Still if he is in Leicester it can be nice to support local and would be very handy for picking up those few fixings you all ways forget

I'll have a look at both, thanks guys.

Aluminium cuts on my bandsaw just as easy as hard wood, it's no problem to work with in that respect, it goes a bit like chewing gum when you start machining it though, at least the way I machine it

LOL..

Yer we do have the kit to cut Ali no problems. Unless bolting this stiff together is good enough then its the welding and joining that going to be the problem.

I can't imagine you would need to weld the aluminium but that's no bother too, take a look at these;

gobo why not just go the steel route,i could lend you a 210 amp stick welder and auto mask..im local so could drop it off and get you started welding bits within minutes
you wont need to be a coded welder to make a table.im not great at it but managed to make this with the same welder.

Wow, thanks for the offer. I may just take you up on that some time. I think thats just a little beyond me at present.

Your machine looks great BTW! What do you cut?

Ahhhhh.. that seems easy enough... he says...
