As part of the project I actually called the phone number that I drew when I was a kid and it turns out to be a metal company in Ventura, California. I said can you make a steel I beam, bend it 90 degrees and ship it to me? They said we could, it will cost you $900. The point being, the people I reached when I drew 1‐800‐GALLOWS could make one.
