 Topic: Metal Supply Store?
Posted: December 19 2007 at 12:33pm |

I'm looking for a local business that sells aluminum (angle, square, etc.). I'm going to be building a light box for my VHOs and Halides.
Anyone have a recommendation?

HD sells it, but it is pricey.

Try Affiliated metals. They are a wholesale operation but you might be able to get some drops or something. They will be much, much cheaper than HD and better material.

Thanks for the replies.
I went by Home Depot, but they didn't have what I was looking for. As it turns out, I went by MetalMart and they recommended Affiliated Metals also. I was told Affiliated Metals is the local distributor of aluminum to pretty much all of the local metal shops.
I'll swing by there soon and see what I can find.

How are you fabricating the light box, welding, rivets, glue, screws, bending it? If you need a place to use some tools, you are welcome here. I have a sheetmetal brake and a tig among all the regular tools.
However, I am in Cache valley so distance may be a limiting factor.

Why not fabricate the light box from Mirrored Aluminum?
