Re: where to buy aluminum.
If they don't have it, then am sure they know who does in the area since aluminum is their focus. I've bought a few sheets from there but not that large.

Re: where to buy aluminum.
watson machine in powhatan has whatever you want and can make whatever you want, they have 2 huge flatbed lasers that can cut 1" stainless like butter.
but they can sell you the alum. I'm sure.

bluestedsrt,
thanks do you have their number i may want to talk to them this week. if they can cut stuff for me at a fair price i may get them to cut all the plate for me.
brian,
yep im going to make breast plates and sell them much cheaper than corky. i have a design in mind that i think will be easyer to produce and lighter but still as rigid.
