I am a scrounge. So bought various big spools at places as Boeing Surplus and the local scrap yard and have wound some onto 10 lb spools. But respooling is kind of a PITA. So just made a stand out of bed frame angle iron . -I have found dual shield, silicon bronze , and various stainless wires at scrap yard prices.

Do you have a stick welder? I was at the scrap yard and there was someone turning in a bunch of various stick rods. I really do not need any more stick electrodes but did buy some as it was stuff I did not have . So if you have a stick welder, let me know and I will see what I can get for you.

I do have a stick welder. But I use so little that I pretty much have a
lifetime supply. Thanks anyhow, Bob
