[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 296192, member: 7544"] OK, lets use a nasty word here and do the math. "Assuming" (I warned you about the nasty word) you're going to get 2 pieces of usable material plus a small piece of waste material out of each one means you'll be paying at or close to $1.00 per foot for the useable material. That's about the same price you can expect to pay for scrap aluminum at a salvage yard or bulk metal sales. Home Depot or Lowes is not the place to go to buy your aluminum. I forget the exact down to the penny price of mine but it was right at $78.00 for 75 feet of 1/8" aluminum angle. You just need to find a better source for your aluminum. Just my opinion but something you might want to rethink. [/QUOTE]
