    finding certain types of steel

    Hi everyone...

    I am wondering if I might get a few tips from you guys/gals ?



    I do not sell scrap metal. I am looking for some scrap steel to
    build small projects in my little home shop. Mainly some homemade
    shop tools like a hydraulic press, cherry picker and the like.

    Only steel like flat bar, angle iron, square, scrap sheet steel...
    like an inch thick. Stuff like that.

    Could you guys give me some tips on good places to look for
    this type of scrap?

    Thank you,
    John

    talk to some of the local scrappers. If we had an idea of where you are from, some of us might even live nearby
