Title says it. In this thread ill post images prices parts and as good as a tutorial as possible. This will be for a 12 COB array. Using Timber grow light kits.
To start im building a 3x3' fixture. Items needed are
36' of 1"x1" angled aluminum (youll see later on why so much) Bought at home cheapo in 96" lengths for $12 a section.
A dremel with metal cutoff wheel, or a chopsaw (chopsaw would make this wayy faster)
A center punch (again not totally needed, but makes life easier)
Tape measure
Carpenters square or the likes
A small file (not needed but im trying to go for clean look, also im OCD with projects)
Nuts and bolts and or pop rivets. (Im using rivets to minimize the profile from nuts and bolts that may possibly get in the way of where id like to place heatsinks.
Start by cutting four 3' sections to have your main frame/support.
