<br />
* [Admiral Metals https://www.admiralmetals.com/], 11 Forbes Rd, Woburn, 781/932-0482 You can buy just about any metal except mild steel (aka "normal" steel; they do stainless though), of any type (tube, bar, sheet, plate etc...)<br />
* For small tubing, Tags (Porter Square, Cambridge) may have some.<br />
* [Cambridge Street Metals https://csmetal.net/] in Allston. Primarily targetting roofing supplies, but they claim to have some other stuff as well.<br />
* [J. Freeman https://www.jfreeman.com/] in Dorchester. Sheet aluminum and sheet plastic.<br />
* [Kaufman https://www.kaufmanco.com/] in Norwood, so driveable to save shipping. They claim to have a 1700-page paper catalog.<br />
* [Logan Steel http://www.logansteel.com/] in Connecticut. (note from old wiki: they do online and in person. Prices for their Bargain Barn are $1/lb for steel and $5.00/lb for stainless/aluminum. They have a great selection, but cut at a rate of $20 for the first cut and $2 per cut thereafter. Remember to bring cutting tools if you want to avoid the fee and don't have a truck.)<br />
* [Mid City Steel https://midcitysteel.com/] in Westport, MA. (note from old wiki: For large section (you know, girders) they are a long haul, but they do have an online inventory, so you can check before you go.)<br />
* MIT's central machine shop will sell stock to MIT affiliates for cash.<br />
* [Philip A Rand Co https://www.philiparandwireropeandslings.com/] 139 California St, Newton, MA 02458 (note from old wiki: Good source for steel wire for sculptural and other applications. Small place, they will let you in back to "feel" the wire.)<br />
* [Pierce Aluminum https://piercealuminum.com/] in Franklin, MA for aluminum.<br />
<br />
* [Turner Steel Co. Inc. http://turnersteelcoinc.com/] is in West Bridgewater, MA. Minimum purchase price and larger minimum for delivery. 1-800-521-8881. Aluminum, brass, steel, threaded rod, drill rod, tubing, etc. They can get many of the items on this extended stock list<br />
* [Central Steel Supply http://www.centralsteelsupply.com/] Marlboro, MA<br />
<br />
== By Mail ==<br />
<br />
* [Ebay https://www.ebay.com] has a large selection of metal stock<br />
* [MSC industrial supply https://www.mscdirect.com] has a huge selection of everything (not just metals); normal UPS shipping is typically next-day from their nearby depot. Can be pricey, but they have lots of promotions. Good search engine; enormous cinderblock of a paper catalog ("The Big Book").<br />
* [McMaster Carr https://www.mcmaster.com/] Like MSC; somewhat different selection. Very nice search engine (but hard to get normal paper catalogs).<br />
* [Wick's Aircraft https://www.wicksaircraft.com/] for 4130 steel tubing.<br />
* [Online Metals https://www.onlinemetals.com/] Small quantity metal orders, lots of selection. <br />
<br />
== From old wiki but can't find current info ==<br />
* Sumo Steel in Medford has been known to sell steel & aluminum scrap and offcuts. This is an industrial steel fabrication shop nominally, but they have a bunch of stock and scrap that they sell for cash to make a couple bucks in this wintry economic clime. Call first.<br />
