Atlas steels Ph 1800 818 599 the grade of steel is 1045 which is around 550 tensile which is higher than mild (350 or less) and easily machined. Billet size is 200mm (8in) diameter 100mm long. it would weigh about 25 kg but machined to the plans I did should come in around 8.5kg.
Atlas may or may not cut to size but if they don't then ask who has bought some of that bar recently and get onto them.

"Man sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived." Dalai Lama
