on the internet to make finger plates for the dovetail jig and coming up
with expensive findings.

All diy men should visit the local scrapyard every few weeks or so.
you will get all sorts of things at scrap prices.
Its amazing what some people dump and they are mangled up.
I rarely visited one without coming away with a bargain.

Well, of course, I can find plenty but I'd have to buy it.

Last time I wanted some I had a chat with a local council worker and a
day or so later a length appeared outside my door, complete with a bit
of old concrete. A lot of standalone road signs, no waiting etc. are 3"
dia' plastic coated steel.
What does your local council do with its scrap? May be worth a word.

If I wanted that I could get it any day easily and for a pound or
three or maybe free. Takes a bit of mooching but its there.

Where? Can't find any round here. Then again, 'cos Telford's all zoned
we don't have industrial units mixed in with the housing like we did in
Hounslow. One of the very few things I miss about London is the better
class of skip we got. On the rare occasion there's a skip round here
that you can get at people put such rubbish in it.

Next time you see a rag and bone man or a guy with a load of scrap get
out of your car and ask him where is the nearest scrap yard.

What colour tabs you on? I've never ever seen one since the 60's

We had one round here the other day. Only he went by too fast for me to
go out and have a rummage.

on the old horse and car now.
scrap metal is still big business today.
