Im sure we all have experienced being raped by the recent metal prices. Anyone have any hookups? What Im asking is, Where do you buy your metal? and for How much $$$
At Van Bebbers in Petaluma. Great prices. My friends da also works there so I get a little discount.
Or I order it through my friends work, if its common tubing or plate. Very cheap there.
i have a friend that buys straight from a mill in birmingham, al.
^^That would more than likely be Nucor...I work at the Ne. Division...I get shit for 7cnts. a lb.
