Your Priority Mail package is on its way. They say two days.

Can't wait to see what's in it Richard There's a short story. Usually when I go to the Steel Store, they have DRUMS of stainless. I know the people after dealing with them a long time, and they are not very particular about small rems. I thought I'd be able to get a cubic foot of them. But, they had just had them picked up before Thanksgiving. The guy found a rem on the floor and sliced it into about a dozen pieces, and it would have cost to get a bigger piece chopped up. I have to go there again soon to get some stair rail components. Lemme know if those will work for you, and next time I'll try to get more. Steve |

I'm probably proving a certain lack of sanity here, but I always wanted to learn how to handle square sails. Maybe this winter I can get the parts made and give it a try come spring!?!

This will work. Just don't watch how I do the fabricating... Chop say, flapper wheel and files is about it these days. But we get 'em done. Richard |

Stainless is a horse of another color. If you need particular pieces, sizes, or shapes, let me know. They MUST be able to fit in a flat rate Priority Mail box to be cost effective. Max weight is 70#, and when the barrels are full, it's not a problem to pick up that much. I'm going to make a water feature out of flat pieces of scrap granite. They will be held up with simple "I" shaped pieces of stainless, for the corrosion resistance, strength, and appearance. I am going back to Vegas Wednesday, and will be there a few days. Let me hear from you, and I'll try to score some more. I'd actually like to get a small tig, even a Miller Thunderbolt, and so some sculpture. Trouble is, without a laser or plasma cutter, forming is a bear. So, it would be a sculpture of remnant flat pieces of all kinds. Still think I could come up with some neat stuff, then run a small water pump to play some water on it, with lighting from below. Or fiber optics, which would disappear when wet. Andy Warhol, look out! Steve |
