You don't say where you live, but around here (North Florida) we have a few used metal places that sell all kinds of steel and aluminum at rock bottom prices. The one I go to is in Ocala, and they have new and used stuff - I found a 25' aluminum I-beam I use for my engine hoist for a little over $100!
Otherwise, +1 on McMaster Carr, also check MSC and Enco for possibly lower prices. HTH, Chuck.H '89 TurboLookTarga, 351k miles |

Shapiro Metal Supply has a great online store and ships reasonably for small projects.

I've used OnlineMetals and McMaster-Carr for years. Anymore I don't bother looking elsewhere.

My local steel supply has a large "remanent" or leftover section. I was there yesterday and saw tons of sheet metal, tubing, round, square, rectangle, aluminum and steel.
Check your local steel supply. |
