One of the more normal sets, free shipping.
Beware of shipping for these chinese parts, you a low sale price shown and below in small lettering is the shipping fees that are usually more than the parts.
Or find a used longer linear rail with 2 blocks that you can cut in half and use one block per rail, since you have no cut forces to load them.
I would choose the second option.

Thanks!
While that is a good example its way out of my budget, however it did lead me to find some other things.
The least expensive linear rail was able to find came out to a build cost of $186 for the X axis. The downside is they only ship in 600mm segments, but I can weld and grind flush. goo.gl/AL2ER9
Welp, I have work to do. Ill get on later tonight and get back to work on this. Thank y'all for your input!

Welding is not an option, it will destroy the bearings in no time.
Go with your design, just add some more lateral support to bearing holders.
