Re: (ET) Sheet steel



I have always found it is much cheaper to buy at a local steel yard. 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.

Lowes wants $35 for a 2ft square 16 ga sheet metal.? Has it always been this expensive?? Could it be the Trump tarrifs?? McMaster want almost $30.

Best place to get steel - a local scrap yard.? 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.
