Where do you guys buy your metal?
I get a lot from the local scrap yards and they will sell it at scrap price which currently is $.15/lb. For stuff I cant find there I go to local steel shops that I have contacts with via my job (PM for a large commercial GC). For specialty items like stainless tubing, pipe shapes etc. I usually look online for small quantity.
I have a place that has a walk in store front. I have gotten everything I needed there. It is one of those, I know where it is places, but could not tell you the name. It seems it is International Metals, or American Metal. Great concept, and they are always busy.
I've bought from on line metals a couple of times. Decent prices & quick shipping.
I have been able to walk in to local steel suppliers and buy small quantities but they are not set up for that (usually have fairly large minimum order rules). Another place to find sheet metal is a metal roofing or HVAC company. Three local yards in the Phoenix area:
Two outside yards have decent prices but varies. Their service sucks though for the average Joe off the street. Don't know how they treat their business customers.
Third place is actually indoors and heated/cooled. Their prices are pretty good, the place is clean, they have good rem racks and probably best variety & the guys there are courteous. Nice walking in there to shop when it's 110F in the summer.
I can usually get what I need off rem racks by the pound (steel plate, flats, bar, angle, tube) unless I'm buying full sticks on occasion.
Have used online metals as well for a few oddball items such as aluminum tube cut to short lengths. I use a small local shop as much as posiable. The husband and wife that own it are much better to deal with then the other two big places in the area. They bend over backwards for the small shops and personal orders, where the others treat you like a pain in the ass if you don't buy by the truckload. The only problem is there small, and don't carry a huge selection.
My friends father in law put me on to them. he owns a medium size fab shop, and almost exclusively deals with them now. there used to be 3 or 4 steel suppliers in the area, most of their business was structural steel.
when the econmy tanked, all but one closed up.
if i cant find what i need out of our own scrap bins at work, they have had everything ive needed.
nearly everything i build, cut, or weld on was somebody elses scrap at one time.
buying random lengths and stocking up would be great, but i'm short on storage. i try to plan ahead for any projects, and keep an eye out for scrap, and throw aways. when i have enough material, thats when the project starts.
I use scrap for the most part. I have a scrap yard close to me that I have gone to for over 20 years. The good thing is they have a lot of scrap from factories. There are a few factories that make stuff out of metal and have a lot of scrap. I have made all kinds of stuff from their scrap. One project I am working on now is a bandsaw mill. I have about 10 bucks or less in the metal. They let me roam around and get what I want. One factory even makes mufflers. I could have kicked myself once, I could have got new mufflers that day for about 50 cents each. One time I got a box of new wiring with lots of different colors that I used to rewire my truck completely and a few trailers. The cost was 3 bucks. I used to use metalsupermarket when I was living in Nashville. We don't have one here though. We have two suppliers here. One won't sell drops at all. They just send it all to the scrap yard. They also have given me a bad attitude about only buying a couple of 20' sticks at a time. The other one is good to deal with but they only do steel. I order stuff from speedymetals sometimes. i get most of my steel from the local rubbish tips- some of the local ones are unmanned so you can drive in drop off you rubbish and grab what you want. Ur not surpossed to thought, but i see it as recycling. Half the time when i go to make something i've already got the metal in the rack waiting to go.
If the project i'm doing is a wrought iron gate or something for someone i order it from the local hardware, grocery, post office, chemist, chemical, farm store - gotta love the country. and if i can get it from there i just get it from a steel supplier in perth. - i won't deal with what you call wallmart on cost principal. I have used speedymetals.com several times and they seem to be cheaper than online metals. Usually buy normal steel from Service Steel here in town, but have bought from Oneal out of Birmingham and from TW metals in Atlanta for all my race car DOM tubing. I have bought some chromoly from Chassis Shop and Apparently Spruce Aircraft sells a bunch of chromoly tubing.
Next time I need to buy anything I am going to give www.onlinemetals.com a try. Prices look really good!
