Even if you have to buy a larger piece. They sell on weight, while all of the hardware stores sell on convenience. In some cases our local steel supplier is cheaper than the local junkyard. <div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <hr style="display:inline-block;width:98%" tabindex="-1"> <div id="divRplyFwdMsg" dir="ltr"> </div> <div class="BodyFragment"> <div class="PlainText">---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2018 16:39:42 -0400 From: "jlantonucci@comcast.net" <jlantonucci@comcast.net> To: "elec-trak@cosmos.phy.tufts.edu" <elec-trak@cosmos.phy.tufts.edu> Subject: (ET) Sheet steel Message-ID: <hej0d75v4819hsohpbe8gevk.1521664641036@email.lge.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Lowes wants $35 for a 2ft square 16 ga sheet metal.?

Some of them also end up with new pieces, and or very clean pieces.? Some have new steel sales department also.? Best prices I ever came across. Worst place, to buy is a typical hardware store.? I've bought the less common shapes and pieces made for shafts from Mcmaster.? But shipping will kill you for anything big.
