Saw this website mentioned on another forum. They’ve got great stuff for building fixtures, racks, etc… Just thought I’d pass it along.

I knew a a concrete guy with a sixth grade education who built me a ladder rack out of four sided aluminum track very similar to that. I have since sold my truck but have reconfigured the rack a half dozen times for other uses. The rack was strong enough to haul 20 22' 2x12's at one time.This guy also invented all kinds of hand tools including a ratchet set with an oblong bearing so that when you flipped it over it reversed direction kind of like gear wrench but much cooler and stonger.

Makes you realize that often formal education isn't the only answer ;)
http://www.reidtool.com carries the entire line and also has a ton of other stuff you'll find useful. btw- their printed catalog is better than their website.

My dad works at a science meuseum and reecently they had some of that 80/20 stuff lying around, its really expensive but wow its cool it's like Legos for adults It's ncreadibly stiff and strong. I've seen a workbench made out of it that was really cool, you can slide bolts in the extruded slots and clamp just about any oddly shaped work-piece easily.
