Where to buy steel/aluminium online?

[lolage]

Need a small amount of steel/aluminium to build some DIY video rigs for my DSLR. Have spoke to a few local steelholders but they don't seem to be interested with the amount I want to order.

Any ideas guys? =)

I've used these chaps a number of times in the past, you may not get all you need from them but I found their prices to be very reasonable. You could also try ebay.

So what's that in proper units?

For this have you looked at the extruded aluminum profiles?


very flexible when used with T nuts for building all sorts.

I found eBay great for small amounts

Multiply by 25.4

We use fairly large quantities of aluminium at work so I wouldn't know where to get smaller parts, the ones we use are Murray metals, Richard Austin & Aalco. Apparently (I have just been told) metals4u & metal supermarket do smaller parts but I personally have never used them.

Used these for aluminium panels, but they do all sorts. They are local for me but do deliver too. There's a CNC shop nearby too.

Call Drews in Reading, iron mongers, will make ANYTHING you ask. Cheap as chips, and I mean CHEAP! For what you ask... Around £10?

Brilliant guys in there.

I've used these chaps a variety of periods in previous time, you may not get all you need from them but I discovered their costs to be very affordable. You could also try auction web sites.

You appear to have neglected to include a link within your response.

Could you please be so kind as to update your post?

Regards.
