hello;

given the low prices on metal in general i was wondering what others
keep as a 'standard' supply of metal on hand at most times.

i realize projects are varied and that having a standard supply may not
be appropriate for some shops. i figure that 1 inch square tubing, 1
inch round tubing. 3/8 inch solid square bar, 1/2 inch solid square bar,
1/8 inch by 1 inch flat stock, 1/8 by 1 by 1 inch angle, and several
sheets of 4x8 26 through 18 gauge sheet metal would cover nearly all of
my projects.
