I have decided to help with the accessibility of this project for others, as I am making this project myself. I will post any updates here in the hopes that I can reach more people, and limit the total required human effort to build a robotic arm. My ultimate goal is to lower the cost of robotics and enable it to become more of a tool that everyone can benefit from.
I will be making this out of aluminum. I have made a robotic torso that will hold 2 arms, J1 may be powered by wheelchair motors with gearboxes encoders mounted in place of stepper motors. This is because I already have the electrical control hardware, and because my modification is designed to work vertically.

In the meantime, I have organized a parts list for others to use. Parts: http://a.co/4qjpU1v Wiring: http://a.co/dorwtcY
