I came across a bunch of steel bolster plates:

They go on big punch presses and such, as you know.

My question is, do I have a hope of selling them for usable material
at, say, above 60 cents per lb?

I have been able to sell solid steel bars and big rounds for about
$1/lb on average, for example. People buy them for "anvils" or
whatever.

Personally I have little use for steel too large to cut up with my 4"
x 6" bandsaw. Larger pieces serve only as tractor counterweights.

Cutting scrap steel with gas or plasma may leave blade-ruining hard
spots.

My typical projects are smaller than an inch. I just made a feeler
bracket to complete a used Blake coax indicator and am now working on
Variac brush holders.

How about a work table top - with the T slots to hold the work in place
and you weld up the frame based on the clamp down holding it in place.

Just a thought - and like he said - put on on the tail end of your
forklift... :-)
