When I started looking around for a/c jacks, the best deal I could find was
in the neighborhood of $300 per pair.  For this reason, I decided to make my
own.  You can see a photo of my efforts in the attachments page of Marvin's
web site.  I've since had opportunity to see some of those $300 jacks that
others have purchased.  They are a pretty sad representation of materials,
craftsmanship and stability.  I've got less than $125 of materials wrapped
up in these jacks and I spent probably a day to a day and a half building
them.  Since I'd never arc welded before, much of the time represents the
learning curve.  A good welder could do them in half the time.
