I have not been so crazy about...

I used to think it was all galvanized also. Just the other day I had tossed some on the light iron pile and then got to thinking that it seemed very light. I checked it and sure enough it was...

From the swimming pool ladder we discussed in another thread. Thanks for the tip when you told me it was probably 316. I told the yard I thought it was 316 so they pulled out the gun and sure enough...

I took a split load of 5 categories to Diamond State Recycling in Wilmington, DE which was probably a bad idea for a Friday afternoon. The place was mobbed and it took a lot of time to get everything...

I thought I would follow up on this. I bought a torch setup and wish I hadn't. It takes too long to setup, I spend way too much on gas and oxygen, I don't feel comfortable using it, it is slower than...

Welcome. :)

What do you do with the newspapers?

Anyone have any ideas on the best approach to scrap a very rusty and probably not roadworthy trailer? This is not the house or office type trailer, it is the back end of a tractor trailer rig. I am...

I am shopping for a cutting torch set up and wonder if anyone has any recommendations as to what to buy. The equipment seems to be quite expensive and I don't want to spend more than necessary. Here...
