I guess it really depends upon how good your sources for materials are
and how often you need stuff like this. I like making things, but it
pains me to pay HD prices when I know I can get things nearly for free.


I cut up old computer cases for a lot of sheet metal. Old steel
shelving is good, too.



I made the mild sheet steel parts for a Cub - from a clothes dryer.
Good steel there.


I have an old electric stove to scrap. I'll stick what I can use in
one of the old horse stalls behind the garage/shop.
