    Metal working is one of my other hobbies and I have found that it is cheaper to get metal locally if I can. The place I get my metal from is cheaper than any of the online outfits I know of and I don't have to pay shipping so it ends up being quite a bit less. Of course, if you don't have any metal suppliers near you then I guess you don't have much choice but try looking in the yellow pages for metal suppliers before you do the mail order thing.
