ahhh, finally i was able to head over to westbrook metals to pick up my aluminum plate and round bar.
incase anybody is interested the plate cost 37$ for 18x6x3/4 and the bar was like 9$ for a foot of bar.
that place is really badass, lots of metals and neat stuff, makes me wish i had the shop and machines to fabricate stuff with.
btw, i found another piece of equipment that will be going into my shop, smithy lathe-mill-drill
i'm not sure on the model, but somthing like that would be badass.
later,
allen
