Now ask yourself how much you'd sell it for, in other words how much real
actual value it has for YOU? I bet it's way more than $35.

A little while ago I built a rack for storing steel. Mine was a little
different, and I didn't paint mine. I think I got my cost under $10.

My shop is a *much* better place to work with all that scrap neatly piled
onto a rack!

Well I finally got around to having a couple days to myself. I spent it
making this rack to get my steel off a bench table.

Not much but it gave me a day to play with my Miller 175. Now I have my
135
up for sale as long as I don't need that one

Nice. How much did the entire rack project cost you in materials and
consumables? - GWE
