Default DIY radar post

Ideally you want 1.5" 1/8" wall 5000 series tube which is not easy to find.
You can machine the deck fitting and rail clamps fairly easily but the dome
mount will be cheaper to buy than have made. If you don't have access to a
machine shop it will probably cost more than buying it off the shelf.

Has anyone made their own radar mast? Can you point me to any pictures or
descriptions of construction?
