    I've found that regular priced items are a bit less with kms club, but sale priced items are just the sale price. The till receipt doesn't show regular price vs. Club price, only shows one price. I questioned it last visit, but did confirm I got a discount on regular priced items.

    Hi from Cochrane

    They do have nice lines. I don't have an English wheel unfortunately, someday.... I purchased a video from Dave Gardiner that shows lots of techniques for shaping metal without big pricey machines, as I'm in short supply of space and hobby money lol

    Looking for 1100 aluminum rod

    I want to start doing some panel forming to make car panels, motorcycle fenders and tanks, fairings, that kind of thing. 1100 stays very ductile and the welds hammer very smooth and flat. The goal is someday be able to make full/partial car bodies for hot rods, classics, etc.

    Looking for 1100 aluminum rod

    Update: bought 10 lbs of 1/16" 1100 rod off Ebay from "fillermetalqueen". Shipping is the killer, so 1 lb. was ridiculous, but 10 lbs. with shipping and exchange worked out to $12.50/lb. It's more than I really need, so if anyone wants some, I'd trade for some ally sheet or flat bar scraps...

    Looking for 1100 aluminum rod

    Hey gang, Does anyone know where I can get 1100 rod? Having a tough time finding it online (for reasonable $$) and most welding supply places in Calgary are only open while I'm working. Tried KMS, PA, local stores in Cochrane, nada. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    You are correct about the gas, but I got 30% off a small bottle of acetylene that I bought. Apparently, the form has to be sent to head office, but they gave me the discount anyway

    Hi from Cochrane

    Hey gang, I'm a long time auto tech that's just starting to dabble in metal fab and restoration work. I'm restoring a classic car and started researching metal shaping and found this group. Hope to learn a ton from the vast experience pool here, and if anyone has automotive questions, I'd be...

    This is very cool! I see they have a sale on next weekend, but I have to work and can't go, so I will fill out the form and take with me today on my quest for welding gas. Thanks for doing this!
