I am working on a personal project to build a desk out of aluminum, the problem is I have no idea where to buy the metal at. I am looking for a reasonably priced placed to buy aluminum 6061 T6 (or similar) 1/8 sheet, 1/4 plate, and square tubing of varying size, all of a wall thickness of 1/8th. Any  suggestions of some places to buy aluminum in Houston?Suggestions of reasonable online places where shipping wont kill me are welcome as well. I am in school still so money is pretty tight. just to give you an idea of the amount of aluminum I need.about 100 square feet of 1/8th sheet22 square feet of 1/4 plate60 feet of 1 inch x 1/8 bar30 feet of 2 inch x 1/8 bar10 feet of 1 inch x 1/4 bar40 feet of 1x1 with 1/8th wall square tubing25 feet of 2x2 with 1/8th wall square tubing10 feet of 2x1 with 1/8th wall rectangular tubingyes yes I know that this is a lot of metal for a desk but this is no ordinary desk, thats why I want to build it. I have spent A LOT of time on the design.I have pretty much all the tools I need to fabricate (well equipped garage, including a tig and plasma cutter) it but if any of yall know of a place for cnc cutting please let me know, it would save me a lot of time if I am able to afford it.Thank you in advance for your suggestions
