Hi Houghy,
I know the feeling.
I'm in the process (for the last 6 months) of making (well trying to) my own pier.
Four 1.5 metre lengths of 100mm square 5mm thick steel tube to be bolted together into one 200mm square pier and welded onto 12mm steel top and bottom plates.
Only problem, I've never welded anything in my life. However I am a glutton for punishment and willing to try almost anything (making and astronomy related :0) ...)
Good luck with yours.
Luke.
