JNewman Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Look in the Yellow pages for steel. A few minutes on the phone and you should find a place or two in your area. Many places will make you buy a full 20' length but some will allow you to buy a half length 10'. Most places will charge you to cut stock in half so you can transport it. Some yards will sell you part lengths in larger sizes. 1/4" -1/2" stock will be pretty cheap and it is worth buying that in 10 or 20 foot lengths.

Morlock Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 If you're in PTBO, then you've got a veritable amusement-park of steel at Kawartha Metal. They were good to deal with when I lived up there, and have lots of goodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks Krush. I'm actually about an hour due north of Oakville. Niagara Escarpment, yes. Niagara, not so much. You'd likely be surprised at my workspace - let's just call it "compact". Apropos to this thread, Hunter Steel is also good to deal with, and they have a handful of locations across Southern ON. Many people will recommend Metal Supermarkets, but I have trouble getting my orders clear with the reprobates they often seem to hire...

Countryforge Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I use Hunter Steel in Orangeville good service but still shop around. Specialty items such as 4140 steel ,large shafting and square stock over 5 inches I get from metal supermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
