Where to buy steel stock in NJ

[RKA]

2 Lukens Drive, Suite 100-400
New Castle, DE 19720

It’s only 2-3 miles on the other side of the bridge.

Right near another place I've been meaning to visit, Russell Plywood.

And conveniently not far from HRO or Woodcraft, triple win.

There are no Rockler stores near here either, closest is Pittsburgh I believe.

Well, that is about to change. Rockler is opening a store in Moorestown, NJ which is close to but across the river from Philly. It will be about a 38 mile trip for me. But that's about how far it is to Woodcraft and that trip involves a $5 bridge toll.

From what I can see on their map this will be the first store in NJ, and to date still none in DE or MD and only the one in Pittsburg for PA. I'm actually surprised they didn't opt for Delaware as NJ taxes are killer and the Moorestown area is not exactly the cheapest either.

It will be nice to have an alternative when I just gotta have something today.  [big grin]

I received an email today saying they are hiring all positions for the store which will open soon but no date given.

Finally! Since I left PA I don't even get to Downingtown Woodcraft anymore. Moorestown seems like next door.

Bob, did you ever make it to Russell Plywood? Wondering if they are an option for prefinished ply in lieu of Industrial Plywood out in Reading?

"Bob, did you ever make it to Russell Plywood?"

No, I didn't. I am still using up material I have from my kitchen
island build. I bought way more than I needed back then knowing
I would use it for other projects. But I am down to the last of that
and will probably be looking for more if/when prices settle down as
I don't have an immediate need.

The new Rockler store in Moorestown, NJ has their grand opening tomorrow.

Just got the email this afternoon. Wouldn't want to get that notification out too early ya know.

A Father's Day opening? Should have been last week with big grand opening/Father's Day sale.

Who knows, maybe that's what they were shooting for but it didn't happen for whatever reason.
At any rate it's here now so I might make the trip. If I do I'll show up around Noon.

I attended the opening of the new Rockler store and found these bar clamps which I thought might be useful in some clamping situations, so I picked up a pair of the 12-inch versions.
