Sheet aluminium supplier!

I need lots of metal for my GCSE project, I just wondered if anyone knew a good supplier near Reading?

Cheers!

you doing resistant materials thn ?

surely your school buys the equipment and materials ? how about askign your teacher to see what he can do or trying B&Q

 

[Toxcity]

Yeah I am doing Res mats but my school is poor..

And so they can't afford the amount of metal I need!

So this is why I am asking..

Hey Tox, have you tried Onlinemetals.com?

Nice find..

But I live in the UK.. and shipping will cost stoopidly lots!

Thanks anywhoo! Why do the US get the best stuff?

@Ham - There dimensions are too small.

Shame because they looked like they would be a nice company..

I'll have to ask the Teacher who his supplier is..

 

[markkleb]

Probably cause there is more of us here.. When I ship to the UK its not that much, couldnt hurt to ask them.

How thick is it Tox?

 

[Toxcity]

About 2.0mm!

 

[Ham]

Just offer to pay for it and the school to order it.

And i would have thought 2mm is a bit thick.
