Metal Masters is Pat R.'s buddy who used to give us a killer deal on powder coating, but he has a huge metal fab shop as well.

Carson masonry & steel supply would work as well, but they are a drive.
There's a difference between "cheap" and "having to get a tetanus shot before I go rooting around in a scrap yard" and Home Depot's 300% markup. So yeah, I do want cheap, just not so cheap it takes me a whole day of digging through a scrap yard to find what I'm looking for every time I need to build something.

Certainly I can do the legwork of calling around and trying to find a place... but I'd much rather go somewhere that someone else has already used that can be recommended. I'm a noob at this stuff, so I'd much rather go on the personal recommendation of someone that deals with places like this (Knucklesplitter, where are you?) than my own experience.
