Where are you getting your steel from? Midway Steel in St. Cloud has much better prices than anything in the Twin Cities so if it's convenient you might want to check them out.

Hi,
St.Cloud is the big evil city to this old country boy. And at 70 miles one way, a "fur piece to go" for just small random purchases. Lazy old sot that I am.
I was just up there and bought some aluminum 2" round from them. I wish their stock wasn't quite so limited sometimes, (no brass or bronze stock), and only a tiny bit of stainless. But I do buy a lot of material from them. Very nice to deal with and open on Saturday mornings.
I don't have their stock racks memorized yet, but I think they should have the aluminum stock on hand for this project. But it will be a week or so before I can get back up there.
