Hi guys



A bit of topic this one but your such a wealth of knowledge I thought I would try my luck



I am in need of some alu sheet nothing big just say 12" x 12" for some odd projects I have on the go dont need big sheets as I dont have the facilites to cut it or store it in big sheets.



I have tried google and got a lot of crap but nothing about were I can get it from.



Im thinking maybe hobby shop so might give our local ones a go on monday



Im in the northwest but dont mind buying over the net if needbe



Anyone know of anyone up here that can supply it or know of anywere that will sell off cuts cheap



Its only for makeing up flat mountings for some odd jobs.



All the best Paul


109" at the build stage ( no name yet )

Hobby shop. Sheet metal working businesses will often sell offcuts. Scrap metal dealer. JD

Do a yell for Switchblade in Longport, Stoke on Trent. They usually have off cuts knocking around though it's pot luck as to what size.

How thick ? I might well have something, and we have tackle to cut it. And we're in the Northwest UK too.

A bit late in the day..

Try looking up on the internet for steel supermarket, there's quite a few branches throughout the country, and I believe that they do stock ally sheet, in various grades..
