1/4" x 1" aluminum flat bar. most home improvement stores will have it. I know HD does if you want to go tempered steel then you will have to find a steel supply yard. I have to say for what we are clamping in luthierie the aluminum flat bar is fine.MichaelP38741.5446296296

G'day,
Like Michael, I used the aluminium. Light and plenty strong ! I used 3/8 " brass rod for the bar locks (grabbers or whatever you call them ) ,as I thought they would be kinder to the bar

MSC is another source. I just downloaded the plans and will make some. I do see that mousebar is out of business.
