I would have to agree. It seems most everyone here wants to help each other out. And they do a great job in helping new people out. I have belonged to two other forums before this one and it seemed to be a competition as to who could insult or "flame" someone the best. I don't particularly care to play those games. Having some fun ribbing each other is one thing, but being hateful and insulting is entirely another.

As for the question as to where to find some aluminum....a really good place to look is a local machine or fabrication shop. If you get in with them good they let you go through their "drop" and either pay a low price for it, or even give it to you as it is no good to them. I have gotten a god bit of aluminum this way!
