This is a list of vendors for different materials and tools.

There are videos on youtube help getting over the intimidation of visiting the lumber yard. Shannon from the Renaissance woodworker is one. RenaissanceWW: RWW 149 Demystify the Lumber Yard


2022-02-14-- Benjamin Um writes: Good news! @William Stillwell ( KI4SWY ) and I have been talking with the management at the new Rockler store in Brandon to get the Hackerspace "Guild" status for a 10 percent discount. Talked with both managers last week and was told that they have been given approval to give us a 10 percent discount. At the moment, all we need to do is inform the person at the checkout counter that you are a member of the Tampa Hackerspace and that you would like the "Guild" discount for your purchase. Not all items are eligible for the discount (e.g. power tools). I personally have taken advantage of the discount this past Saturday. They are currently doing a soft open before the official store opening in March, so please be patient with the employees, because they are all new to everything.

Metal

  • Alro Metals Outlet, remnants end at 12490 49th St N, Clearwater, FL 33762. "A large metal supplier. As with all places that offer remnants, their supply varies, but they have always been well stocked for my needs and they are organized well."
