The bike shop that I work at needs some 1/8 aluminum sheet for a project but we don't know any suppliers. Any suggestions?

Maryland Metals in Hagerstown has just about anything you need. Dunno how far you would want to go to get the stuff though.
Maryland Metals # 301 739 5525
Hopewell Sheet Metal Mfg Inc # 301 582 3270 or 301 582 0116
Hopewell Manufacturing Inc # 301 582 2343 these two are right across the street from each other and you could also try a place in Baltimore if thats closer for you called Durret Sheppard Steel Inc # 800 888 8567

Hope that helps good luck

BTW what are you guys building? 1/8 inch is pretty thick stuff.

I am buying some 1/10th inch sheets next week.
I have a guy I use for aluminum, but he doesnt do sales normally, only production.
I can get a price for you on a 1/10th sheet if you want. maybe if we buy a few at the same time the price would be better.

How big of a piece do ya need? Are you looking to buy a whole sheet, or just a scrap?

Call Metlfab (off rt85 I think it's Omega drive) in Frederick and they may sell ya anything from a scrap to a full sheet - 90% of thier production is aluminum work.

I see you'r in olney - what shop is this display going in?
