Free metal, the way I like it

[OnlyStihl]

I was at a BBQ the other day and got to talking about welding, metal, etc. Someone pointed me to a free (sort of) scrap pile. I looked it over, went back the following day and figured out a good deal. I'd take what I wanted, and help get rid of the rest. The current owner is a widow, and her late husband was a junk collector. She is eager to see the pile gone.

I've several craigslist people interested in the rest. This is what I wanted. Lots of flat stock 1/8, 1/4, and some 1/2 in pieces. All in excellant shape, just a few minutes with a flapper disk and it's ready to weld.

This will be my poor wife one day. I have so much just in case material here. Anything from 1/4 plate to 6” square tube.

I have a guy showing up this morning to take all of what is left. He's not going to be successful, with just his pickup truck. The more I look at what is left, I can see more metal that I can use.
