better to buy metal tubing local?
#1
So my issue is I honestly can not even think of a place local to me to get it. Every shop i know of even orders it out so theres no luck asking them of a supplier. Id assume local would be cheaper not even factoring shipping but **** if i know where to go. I Need to do some chassis type fabrication soon.

I've got at least two metal distributors right here in Richmond. BMG Metals is the one I have used. You can pull a truck into their parking lot, go inside and get someone at the counter to help you. They've got about every shape of metal tubing, bar stock, and angle you could ever want. You tell them what they want, they write the ticket, and then you go back to the warehouse where some guy will help load your truck. Helps if you're buying full sticks, but they will even cut it to length for you. I think you get one free cut per length, or something like that.

Ryerson is another distributor with a larger scope than BMG. Haven't done business with them, so I can't say if they are as nice to the little guys as BMG is.
