Charles,
Did he only want enough to build a couple of boats ? No need to have
500lbs extruded. Doh !
Texas Towers sells 6063-T832 ( Drawn / .058wall) for about $1.00 ft in 1/8"
increments from 3/8"
to well over an inch. They require a whopping $20.00 minimum order . They
are listed in
the "contacts page" of the "Folding Kayak Builders Manual".
George Dyson at "Dyson, Baidarka, and Company" sells whatever amount you
want ( no minimum)
for about the same price. He used to sell 6061-T6 but I think he now
carries another grade.
Tom
