where to buy steel sth west Bris/Ipswich

Post by Beefcake »

Where do people buy steel on the south side of Bris or Ipswich? I used to get what I needed from where I was working but now I fly in/out it's a bit tough to get a couple of metres on the plane.

I don't want to have to buy lengths and lengths. I just want to have a go at building a front bar for my 45 and a few other little jobs. So who is good to deal with?

Cheers

Citi-Steel in Darra generally comes up cheapest.

As does A Wood Shed in Darra for Timber (maybe you want walnut burl trim on the bullbar...)

Cheers I will give them a go. Dunno about wood in the bar, but maybe a burl elm dash could be the go...

I'll stick some ocky straps in my bag too, just in case ;)

Jackson's at Redbank and there is another good steel place at the back of Redbank near the Cunningham Hwy but I can't think of their name.

Almost finished my front bar; used steel from direct steel, and hans welding works. Hans' also did some bending of 3mm plate for me, cheap and the guy who did it was excelent.
