1.5x1.5x3/16" box tubing, 20ft.-$37
where are some good places to pick up smaller amounts of steel here in houston (south houston preferably). Would someone like SSS sell less than a full stick?
if this angle is for rockers, i'd rethink it for many reasons.Originally Posted by 85cj7
angle has that radius where the two plates meet so it wouldn't but up to the tub the way you want. a brake will be more better
1/4" is way too thick. 1/8" is plenty if you know how to drive, maybe even thinner.
getting flat plate cut and bent will let you have the design you want, not make you half ass something around sub par materials chosen only on the basis of availabilty and least amount of legwork in aquiring them.
...
1 stick of 3/4"x3/4"x1/8" angle-$17
1 stick of 3/4"x16 gauge box tubing-$8
1 stick of 6"x3/16" flat bar-$40
I envision you butting the flat bar to the angle to make sliders?

Yeah they sell scrap outta the yard at 610 and 59 north. I am not sure if they have scrap yards at the other locations in houston.
I haven't had a chance to see if they sell scrap at thier location near me. Fastenal sells smaller amounts, but their prices are very high.
Anyone ever stop at that place on 290 between houston and the turn off for HW6? I think its called metal depot or something.
I think metal depot is just for metal buildings.
I figure that was the case, but didn't know for sure

no the 6" flat bar was bracing for the stinger and the 3/4" angle was the framing for the bed box.
sweet, because that would have been a horrible idea.

Picked up all of my bar stock, square tube, steel plate, etc from triple S off of 610. Ordered my DOM round tubing through EMJ off of Lumberdale Rd.
