have you ever worked with 4130 chromoly?
As far as I know it's very hard and so it wouldn't be easy for you to cut it, but if you know how please let my know, I want to make that too.

only true if you dont have the right tools.

if youre gonna make these bars in your shed with a hack saw and stick welder then dont even bother, only do it if you have access to the right tools (band saw, tube notcher, a good gas welder, etc.)
