Default Steel Fabricator in Calgary

I'm looking for a steel fabricator in Calgary for a very small, residential project. Everything I look for online seems to be commercially driven and are a little thrown off when I request such a small job.

What I want to do is get a stainless steel tube cut to 67.5 inches and curved.. I'm building a drum rack and the stock cross bar (42 inches) that came with the rack kit just isn't gonna cut it. I'm not sure what the radius of the curved bar is, and gauge, but I would just bring it to the steel shop when I go in; also to ensure the stainless steel finish is the same.

Unless you're a professional drummer in a successful band, DW (the maker of the rack) won't custom cut anything for you and music stores haven't been very helpful.

Curved bar:


Drum rack:


So any recommendations?
Thanks in advance CP. I'm sure my friends will make fun of me for this thread.

Maybe PM Tron, while I don't think he does work like that, he might have some ideas on who to contact.

There's a machine shop at the U of C that does smaller jobs like this.

Here's a link to their site:

I don't know if they do work for people outside of the University though.

That looks awesome. Looks like they have a "store" so I'll call them amongst others. Maybe they'll help out an alumnus.
