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.

I didn't realize they didn't have brass or bronze in stock. That seems rather strange, especially the brass. I've bought a bunch of tubing and round and square solid stock from them. I was buying the same stuff from Discount Steel in Minneapolis but when I moved out to the small town where I live now I tried Midway Steel and found their prices to be about half of what I was paying at Discount Steel.
