Having never worked with steel in my life (apart from when I made a small
hammer in CDT in school) I'm just trying to prepare myself for the worst
and
have a few questions:-

1. How do you go about drilling big holes in RSJs?
======Blacksmith's drills 14 to 20mm from: www.screwfix.co.uk


2. Is it possible to cut RSJs?
======Yes, if you can get access to a mechanical hacksaw or bandsaw - both
from: www.machinemart.co.uk but probably not worth considering for a one-off
job. Use an angle grinder or buy a big stock of hacksaw blades.

3. What are 'RSAs'? (Reinforced Steel Anchors?)
=======Don't know!

4. What is 'DURR BAR'?
=======Durbar plate - 1/4" thick steel or aluminium plate with anti-slip
tread pattern

5. What is 'RHS'?
========Rectangular hollow section as far as I know, such as 1" square tube.

(I could probably have found out 3,4 & 5 by bothering my arse to search
the
net, but hey...)
