RE: a metal question [TANKS]

["Doug Conn" <dwconn404-at-comcast.net>]

I used onlinemetals.com for some UHMW plastic and it worked out pretty well.

I had a lot of trouble finding a local dealer for bulk metal, like aluminum
plate or steel square tube. I tried the obvious channels (yellow pages,
bigyellow.com, etc.) Any suggestions for other ways to locate one ?

        Thanks,
        Doug
