Guinea Fowl Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Right then, for all the real Men on here, where do you buy your mild steel from? angle, round, flat bar and all other metals for that matter. I have had a look on the net but not to sure if I like the delivery fees on some of the site`s, maybe someone could recommend me a site or somewhere in the North-west. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC45 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I buy mine locally and collect it. Try looking in the yellow pages for a local stockist. Mail order is expensive, due to the weight.. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Depends how much you want? If you are only after a length or two then go to a local fabrication shop and see if they will sell you some off the rack. If you want a quantity then you need a steel stockholder, Basically a supplier of all metal construction materials... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
