Boston area Steel supplier
For the life of me, I cant find a decent steel supplier than carried
sheet stock in the Boston area. I'm after a few sheets of 18 and 22 gauge cold rolled steel (4X4 or 4x8 sheets) After claling everyone in the phonebook, I yet to find someone reasonable. Right now, my best price quote is from onlinemetals.com which is pretty pathetic for something like steel. Anyone have a source? I'll gladly pay cash to a shop to buy from their stock if that is an option. Thanks, Vin |
