Any good recommendations outside of Amazon? I'm looking for cold rolled 18 gauge and it's not as easy to find as I thought...

 

What size, and how many sheets?

You're better off going to a local steel yard.

 

Home Depot has a fair selection

 

Kinda expensive though.

Try local fab shops as well, they might have remnants they'll let go for cheap

 

Not many fab shops to choose from around here and the ones I did try were more than hd.
But if you want longer pieces, yes.

 

yeah HD did not have what I needed in terms of size (18 gauge). All good though, I called a local shop today I am going to do down to and check out their options...

 

What do you think of flux core mig vs. a 70 amp stick welder for 3/16 steel?

 

Wire feed will be easier to control...but both can work, IF you know what you're doing. Flux core and arc burn hot, easy to blow through the material. Personally I would use a true MIG setup with a 75/25 gas.

 

Not to let this go to Roni's head (Lord knows it barely fits through the door now), but his boss thinks that he is one of the best fabricators at his shop.

I don't know about Durango, but down in Mancus or Cortez there are metal supply shops.

 

Wow, he said that about me?

LMFAO

BTW Dusty, did you get your stuff back from our powder coating shop yet? Been meaning to ask you and keep forgetting...
