Suppliers

 It seems like a worthwhile idea to keep track of the suppliers for this build.  I'll add to this as I go along.

Steel

COREMARK METALS
216 27th Ave. N
Minneapolis, MN 55411

612.522.5956

https://www.coremarkmetals.com/

steel tube, gussets, angle iron, aluminum diamond plate

Metal Supermarkets
1900 Oakcrest Avenue, Suite 5, 
Roseville, MN 55113
651-634-0600

https://metalsupermarkets.com

steel tube, plate, gussets

Tends to be a little higher priced than CoreMark, but will price match, and also will sell partial sticks/panels.  CoreMark is more 'the whole enchilada'

GRIMCO MINNEAPOLIS 

5261 Program Ave 

Mounds View, MN 55112

ph.800.542.9941 | fx.800.760.5575

825 11TH AVE SE
MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55414

*both of these folks are great to work with.  They work cooperatively - so work dropped off at Marco can be delivered straight to TC Metalseal for coating. They are local, fair priced, and do quality work.  Marco's office staff is a hoot, too!

Wood

Siwek Lumber
612.781.3333
2536 Marshall St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55418

Very good quality and selection.  Be prepared to pay for quality but not unrealistic.

Forest Products Supply, Inc
651.770.2834
2560 Highway 61 N
Maplewood, MN 55109

https://www.forestproductssupply.com/lumber

This is a high end cabinet shop and wood merchant.  They have everything from Baltic Birch to live edge slabs.  No 'typical' construction lumber, plywood, fir, etc.
