dude..... if you use an auto lathe ( a lathe that is computer controled) it might take you about 5-10 minutes to make a pair of these. also i can go out and by a 10 ft piece of rebar at our local steel store for 10 bucks i aint gonna spend that much on some brackets that are made with enough material to craft a single quarter.
If they where made by hand they would cost ::A LOT:: more then $10
I agree with Roger. The setup time and material costs are significant. $10 is cheap. I had looked into bearing holders for a frame I was going to weld together, and just bought two sets from UDC.
I'd suggest making brackets out of the 10' piece of $10 rebar if you are looking into saving money, but you are going to have a heck of a time doing it. If you do end up doing it, let us know!

Dont underestimate Phil. His love is working with metal. He is no where close to being a newbie when it comes to welding and all of that stuff.

I don't mean to be negative to you, but if you think it is that simple, then do it!
I will be impressed if you can find a lathe that can make bearing housings by them selves. They can machine a fancy ring, no problem. That would be just as easy on a hand lathe, that is the easy part. It is everything else that takes the time.
If you would like I will get a quote from my next door neighbour for producing them on his CNC machines. It will be interesting. :-)
