There is .5" flat bar available, and I suspect my local metal store will have it---tomorrow.<br /><br />Good suggestions, however.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-33476891089603335692019-06-30T10:06:07.823-06:002019-06-30T10:06:07.823-06:00Home Depot and Lowes both carry mild steel sheets....Home Depot and Lowes both carry mild steel sheets.
