Please advise. What would you do?

Thanks, Ivan Vegvary

Okay, made a decision. Talked to my HVAC person (neighbor) and he
informs me that he can get me a new 8 foot sheet of galvanized for $
20. Ergo, I will only keep an few pieces and scrap the rest.

Thanks for all the great ideas posted.

I find that it is not so much the money that you save, but if you have
the stuff on hand you save all the time of hunting a piece down when you
need one in a hurry.

And then there is the problem of knowing that you have a piece,
but can't find it. Or just as bad, not knowing that you have what you
need "on hand". To put it another way, if you don't know what you
have, or where it is, do you have "spare stuff" or just "junk"?


I just had a company up the road come in for a piece of sheet metal to
build a battery box. I gave them a couple of doors off the old Daewoo
Puma cnc lathe that I was scrapping. I think it was 11 ga. steel they
used on the doors.

That will work.
