Have about 12 pieces of galvanized sheet metal duct (rectangular). Most of
it is 36 inch long sections about 24 inches across and 12 inches high. If
I undid the seam and unfolded the metal I would end up with 30" x 60" ±
pieces. Do I keep them for unforeseen projects or do I spend the gasoline
to take them to the scrap yard. I do own an English wheel and a 3-in-1
metal machine. Don't need a bunch of little boxes but making them would
elevate my skills. Also plan on someday putting 'fins' on my 1995
el-cheepo Toyota Tercel. One day I would like to build a side car for my
vintage motorcycle.

Wife says toss it. I'm ambivalent. I do have the storage space, but, at
the same time, when it comes to making the side car I don't mind spending
a few dollars on the correct material instead of used galvanized.

Please advise. What would you do?

If it would cost you to dispose of it, keep it. If someone will pay
you for the scrap value, take it to them and convert it to cash. :-)

Come to think of it, just binning it, even if you have to pay, could win
you points with The Boss. ;-)

Good Luck!
