Finding steel stock suppliers?

admin

I am about to do my first welding project, and the first thing I am finding is that steel stock suppliers are a bit tricky to find, probably because I have no knowledge of how these businesses operate.What would be some good web search terms? I am chasing smaller dimensions/quantities in mild steel, for a railing project. The zip code here is 20896.

Reply:You may have a little more luck in the phone book.  Steel suppliers haven't seemed to catch up to the Internet revolution yet.Also, check for recyclers.  They tend to keep offcuts and other pieces for sale.KevKevin / Machine_Punk from The Aerodrome Studio - Lincoln PowerMIG 210 MP - Meco N Midget w/custom welding station - Vintage Victor 100Current Projects: The Aerodrome Studio
