metal supply

[doublej]

Where is everyone getting their metal from? HD is like 3 times the price as a metal supply. I have even looked at online suppliers and ebay - none seem to carry smaller sizes.
so where does everyone else go?

......dansys hobbies has a lil bit, lowes and home depot

depends on what its for.............use a cookie sheet for skids....example ....1 dollar at dollar store

think outside the box

I have been trying too - but i am a metal fab guy at heart - i need a metal shop...... you would honestly prob pay less for a drop cut of the same size than the cookie sheet. but still not a bad idea. and like i said lowes and home depot are STUPID over priced.

I dont know what size your looking for, but I buy the 22 gauge 8"X18" from lowes and its under 10.00 with tax.

Ace Hardware has some.

I go to lowes for solid rod and sheet metal because it's 1mi from my house. NAPA for tubing, 2mi away. I'd spend more in fuel going across town to an actual steel supplier.

I use McMaster-Carr. If they don’t have it you don’t need it. If I order in the morning, it’s at my door the next day. And the dollar savings more than covers the shipping, plus I don’t have to leave the house. It also seems like when I go to one of the big box stores, they are out of one or more of the items I’m after, but when they look on the computer it says they have 10, but no one can find them.
