I'm looking for some 1/4" steel to practice on. I called a few scrap yards and they all said they didn't have any.

any locals know where I can get some?

 

buy sum, its cheap. http://www.onlinemetals.com

 

Just did, thanks

 

how are the prices on that website compare to a local metal place?

 

Just curious, but where's Nutly at in NJ? I know of a metal place in the north western part of the state if it'd help.

 

nutley is in burgen county, close to the pasaic river.

 

did you try sears? I get plate steel there to play with

wouldn't have thought sears in my wildest imagination. lol Is this at the sears hardware store or something?

 

Fazio's has a good selection of metals and reasonable prices.

 

yeah sears hardware not sure if the normal sears has metal either. They have different size sheets not sure how expensive it is compared to other places but it is like 5 mins from my house so easy to go there get metal and weld on it.

 

ARCO steel supply in Irvington RIGHT OFF the 78. Exit 54 going east. Going west I dont remember how to get there, I just do a u-turn and get off on 54 east.

 

ace hardware also carries all kind of metal to play with!!

 

anything in the south jersey area?

 

homedepot or lowes has plenty of mild steel in various shapes and sizes, though i havent seen anything thicker than 1/8"

You could spend all day at this place. They have alot of stuff.

 

my local community college has a huge bin out back full of scraps. i guess its the left over stuff from their welding program.

Fazzio's is the place to go in south jersey. its in glassboro right near rowan college. they have anything and everything for metal and hardware/industrial supplies.

 

I know of a place in either nutley or belleville next to the dunkin donuts on river rd.I know they work with all types of metal but not sure what types you can always check there ?It is behind a body shop called ultimate auto body.Hope this helps
