I bought a used stainless sink and the four flanges underneath (used

to remove the and use the flat under-surface of the sink with a wooden

itself is good and clean but those flanges are too rotted to keep.

I got one of the worst rusted flanges off by pulling/twisting with
pliers and hitting it at the seam with a hammer and garden spade,
using the spade like a chisel. This technique is not working as well
with a less rusted flange.

What would be a good approach?

Your best bet is to use a plasma cutter. With a little
home-engineering you can power it from your home's Shipstone.


Which reminds me, mine is being delivered next week. What is the
minimum height regulations for antigrav heavy lifters over a
residential area?

No 220-pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110-pound
woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out. Is that evil?
Is that wrong? People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence,
they're begging for the rule of brute force, when the biggest, strongest
animals among men were always automatically "right". Guns end that,
and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make
it work.
