Default Source for aluminum tubing
Where might I find a good source for aluminum tubing? I'm looking for 3 and 4 inch stuff, non polished. Preferably .120 wall. I've seen all of the stuff on ebay, I don't think any of that is .120. I have searched this site and the web in general. Most of what I have found on the web is bulk sale industrial stuff.
