where did you get the materials?

Just wondering if anyone has ever used, or built something like this and can offer suggestions/advice. I have done research on materials and milling costs here in Ottawa and it seems as if the acrylic itself will cost around $150... the latches and orings are a bit more on top of that. I guess this guys' deal below is you get all the parts and put it together your self.

The acrylic plate and PVC tube I got from Johnson Industrial Plastics, Toronto.
The Latches, knobs etc came from Reid Tool Suppply , Muskeegan Michigan,

Aluminum rod, plated etc and stainless strip from a local metals supplier. The glands I machined from SS hex stock.

O-rings from Parker Oring
