Oldest thing you have came across.

I do not know the oldest thing I have come across, the oldest thing I have helped scrap was the James Street Power Plant located in Omaha NB. It was built in 1911 and provided power for the community until replaced with the Ft. Calhoun nuclear power plant. 10 stories, 190,000 sq. ft. and 10,000 tons of steel removed in less than a year. If you want pictures, visit "A Scrappers Dream" posted on the forum. I was hired as a consultant and to teach others how to use a torch. Several members of the forum visited during this project.



A hobby includes turning antique metal into art and everyday items. It is believed the oldest among these are old wooden Hames that I cannot date. Pictures of this hobby are posted on "Christmas Gifts from Scrap."
