[Boatanchors] Help needed for locating aluminum box project stock - Lancaine?

[Glen Zook]

Try McMaster Carr.  I have been getting all the aluminum sheets that I need from them at considerably less than at the local Lowe's or Home Depot when I purchase 2 or more sheets.  The last time I got 2 sheets and the cost including shipping was about $20.  The price at Lowe's and Home Depot was about $14 per sheet plus tax.

They have some sort of agreement with FedEx and I know that I got my aluminum the next day by air!  The shipping cost was less than what others charge for UPS ground!

Does anyone know  where I can find sheets of thin, easly bent  aluminum with lots of prepunched  small and large holes in it.  This stuff was used years ago for making cabinets for ham projects and is very easy to work with.  I thought it was called Lancaine but googling that comes up with nothing.
