Title: sourcing sheet metal
Post by: Bobfish on January 03, 2007, 04:02:12 PM
Guys,

Looking for some sheet stainless steel for some simple fab work im gonna be doing shortly, but having trouble sourcing some plain old steel sheet.

Anyone have any ideas, contacts or even better - sheet steel laying around?!

i use a guy in northwood hills. can\'t remember the name of the place but it\'s behind weatherspons etc on the main shopping parade.  it\'s a metal fabrication workshop and he will usually cut anything you want to size.

Or if it\'s small sheets you\'re after B&Q normally have a few different sheets of plain, mesh etc...

Just look in the yellow pages for Metal distributers, if that fails ring a Welding suplys shop and ask if they can recomend anywhere.

Quite a lot at sensible money on ebay especially if you only want offcuts.
