Step  
a

Measure 2 6" lengths of 1.25" x 1.25" square tubing from Home Depot or Lowes.
b Make a distinct mark using a black permanent marker.
c Cut the bar using a hack saw - warning you must read the safety documentation that came with the hack saw to make sure you don't injure yourself.
d Remove the burrs at the end of the tubes.  THESE are SHARP and will cut you badly!!  Use a file or 100 grit sand paper to round off or "smooth" the ends.  THIS IS A SAFETY RISK.
