Default Looking for a Tree Lamp or Hanging Arm...

I am looking for a tree lamp or hanging arm or whatever this thing is called. This would be attached to the back of the stand and the light fixture is hung on it.
Does anybody know where I can get one of these locally or if somebody is open to making one in exchange for some awesome Rics then get in touch. I should mention that I would pay for the materials if somebody was willing to make it. The rics would be in exchange for your labour.

I agree with Grizz, find yourself a fab shop and see what they can do for you. I made a similar design to the above only I used 1 1/4 x.100 wall HSS and 1 1/2" HSS slid over that for adjustment.

I guess I can look into it and perhaps they could do something like this......

Would this idea work for a 5 footer? I like it!

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

Here are a few pics of mine, nothing complex but it works very well, and very strong.
