Default Axle Material

Paul, Jeff, Richard, bBob, Don, Karl,Terry, RoyJ, Tom, Wild Bill:

Man, you guys have some great ideas. I see that you have your scrounging
talents fine honed.
I take pride in my being cheap and scrounging but I see that I am just a
piker.

I'm not sure that I understood the one using the pipe and drilling it out
near the end and plug welding it. I am guessing that the axle stub has to
be bent 90 degrees toward the end of the pipe and along its axis.

Thanks all.

I am always needing to put tires on some items that I use such as large
fans, homemade generator/s, carts, etc. I have used drill-rod once in an
emergency. Other times, all-threaded rod but I know there is other
material that has to be cheaper.

What am I overlooking that is dirt-cheap, like me?


Thanks
