There's one not far from me, I was thinking of stopping by for some knife blank material. Seems like they're geared for construction supply on down to the hobbyist level. Anyone ever deal with this business?

I have if they're the same I'm thinking of. I've bought material sized to specs that I called in and picked up the next day. I've alos bought from their "scrap" pile. I bought the scrap stuff to use in the hydraulic press.

I will use them again as needed.

Cool! There's one nearby and I didn't know that they even existed. Field trip tomorrow morning...

I've bought metal from them in the past in small quantities / DIY home owner stuff- never on a business level. They always seemed like good people.

Just because you can,
doesn't mean you should

Just over the internet. There are a few others like them so I shop around when buying something specific. Most of the time I'm buying aluminum, not steel.
Also look on eBay for small quantities.

Thanks for the replies. I found them through a google search, and was wondering if they were legit. Looks like.

If you'd be willing to post how it goes, I would sure like to hear about it. I had planned to stop out this weekend, but home improvement was delegated. Hoping to make it out there Friday.

I have a Metal Supermarket locally that I've bought from and I've also bought steel and aluminum from ebay and discount steel. All good.
