Without knowing your location cant help you too much. But here in the Canadian west I go to a place called Industrial Plastics and Paint. Look up plastics in the phonebook and phone around, ask if they have a scrap bin, you can usually get good deals on waste cut pieces.

: I'm building a Yost-style strongback this weekend, which will only require a
: couple square feet of HDPE. I'd just as soon not buy a 4'x8' sheet.

: Where can I buy HDPE in small quantities? I figured I could grab a couple
: cutting boards at Target and chop 'em up, but that may not be the best way
: to go.

: Thanks,
