Where is a good place around Prov/Wawick/SE Mass to get sheet metal and/or 1/4-1/2 thick acrylic & plastic sheets? I'm looking to do a couple projects...

Thanks,

John

If you can't find anything local.

I use this supplier at work and for my personal
projects too. They have everything..

Mid-City steel 675-7833, 546 State Rd. Westport
If your looking for premade shelves Polaroid has a warehouse on Rt. 44 at the Raynham/Taunton line. They sometimes have some great buys on office furniture and the like. They have weird hours. I'll try and see if I can get more info if you'd like
