Where you guys get your DOM tube from? The best price I got for the DOM is $2.70ft for 1.5 .120 wall HREW $1.63ft 1.5 .120 wall. ordering in 20" lenghts. From tube service. Is that a good price or keep shopping?

2.70 isn't a bad price for 1.5... price out some 1.75" if it's below 3, you're doing ok for not having an account anywhere.

I usually get tubing at Industrial Metal Supply in Riverside. They usually have a good selection of remnants priced by the pound, ($.65/lb I think).

1.5" .120 DOM for $2.70 a f00t isn't bad, I'd buy it from them. BTW, HREW comes in 20' lengths, DOM usually comes in somewhere around 22' lengths. The local steel yard where I get tubing from will deliver at no extra cost, which is good since you don't have to figure out how to haul those long sticks home.
