For anyone that lives within a reasonable drive of San Jose, I just made a discovery that some of you may already know, and I did it by accident. Campbell Metal Supply at 569 Charcot Ave. San Jose is a fantastic find if you're looking for small pieces of sheet aluminum, stainless steel, or ??? They have a Remnant Room that will have whatever it is you're looking for and at prices that you won't be able to match, believe me, I've tried them all! Nice guy named Joseph runs the Remnant Room. He'll make whatever material you need available. If you happen to be in the area, check them out. I think you'll be pleased.
