I've searched for the past hour on the internet for a metal supplier in
the Dallas area that has steel and aluminium for a good price, with no
luck. Metal Supermarkets sells al and steel, but they charge $.60 per
pound, for scrap steel. Sq. tubing is even more expensive (16 ga. 1"
$1/foot). I've looked at the catalog for King Architectural Metals
(http://kingmetals.com). Their square tubing is cheaper than Metal
Supermarkets, but they do not sell any aluminum tubing. Does anyone
know where a cheap steel and aluminium small order store is in Dallas?


Did you try the yellow pages? Not every business is up to Internet speed ..
