Thanks guys for the comments.
Ian the fins on the bottom of the metal tube where to stop the tube from spining in the cement, and filling the tube with cement was so I could hold the bolts for the plate and to stop the tube from vibrating and sounding like a bell when it was it was tapped.
so far costs are.
approx
$150 concrete mix bags including the bags for the posts
$200 for timber
$60 for tube got it at scrape price
$50 in nails bolts etc.
thats about it so far and haven't started on the handrail yet.
