In the File. Thanks!

I don't design home projects to exact size. I figure a range and pick
something within it out of the scrap bin.

Very cool! Nice looking projects.

I'm not trying to attack your spreadsheet inventory idea,

I didn't think you were.
The idea is to provide future metalworkers a pointer to the sources we
uncover, not necessarily to create an exhaustive inventory of every
possible part.


I use my CAD .usr library to catalog material like water pipe that
needs more detail than just "5/8 316L", "0.505 Al", "1-1/8 12L14??"
written on the piece itself with a Sharpie (which tolerates the rustproofing
spray).

Good tips.
