No dies here. Just a vise and polishing wheel to remove most of the jaw marks. 3/4" EMT painted with charcoal colored marbled paint. Less than an hour for both bars plus paint dry time.

Nice work. And, even more impressive that you did this with a vise, polishing wheel and spray paint. Very professional looking.

What size fastener did you use?

And, did you use speed nuts to act as the nut for the fasteners?
