I did buy new steel once. Crazy expensive. I need about 40 to 50 feet of square tubing to modify my trailer with higher railings. There's got to be some around, just waiting on someone that needs some cash, or an estate sale, etc.
It's actually funny that Bill G thinks I go to garage sales, buy metal and then take it to a scrap yard for recycling. Again, he's just trying to bait someone into a pissy fight over word definition or use.
