Don raises a very good technique that use frequently. In fact yesterday I stopped by the place and pick up a piece of 5/16 that was roughly 14 x 6 inches for the whole wallet breaking sum of something around $1.00. I was charged by weight, although sometimes they charge by area as well.
For something like the sides of the K2, using 1/8" should be OK. If you couldn't find something in the scrap bin and pick it up for a couple of dollars I'd be amazed.

They often have cut-offs for sale at modest prices. If you have to buy a whole sheet, take along a wheelbarrow full of money. 73, Don W3FPR . . . _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
