That is a good price of the rod but Enco doesn't sell acme wing nuts. You
would have to buy a regular acme hex nut and weld on some rod for handles.
Not exactly the strongest solution.

The 1 1/4" Acme
threaded rod for the top will cost about $12/foot and you will need
18"/stand. The wing nut is another $40.

$6/foot with free shipping from use-enco.com. Nuts are $4.29.

But you're right, the make-or-buy analysis sez "buy".
