[MakeLV] Where to buy steel beams?

[Tyler Worman]

A long time ago (7-8 years) I bought small pieces from Hill Metal on
Sumner/New St. Not sure if they are still there or not. I also don't know
if they do anything other than sheet metal.

They were super helpful and I remember the price being decent.
