Ya know.... on the subject of all the metal types, and or whats what. Yep. I do know some of the numbers of metal I need to know when ordering something specific. BUT. Even though I am on this side of the pond, I found that getting to know the manager of Alro metals near me, as well as one of his key guys.. names Guy actually.. really helps. I say.. heya.. they say HEYYY what you making now?? I say I need a chunk of metal about this big by that big.. and some sort of brass bronze thing. What do you have in drops?? THey dig around and show me things.. ask what Im gonna do to it.. and then produce something for me. If they dont have it.. they sell me the brand new stuff at a good rate. And they have a ultra happy return customer. And they know it. :D Make friends with the guy who sells the metal, and they will take care of you, if they know you are a artisan/craftsman/fabricator.. not just some big company buying a specific quantity of material to sell to someone else. Doesnt hurt to know the numbers.. but its much nicer to get along well with the supplier. I need X metal for these reasons. Ohh we dont have X but try Y.. its a better version, or different version.
