i go to the places that buy scrape, most have piles of mixed sizes that they will sell by the pound. Have a good idea of what you'll accept. because there are so many different thicknesses. Take a tape and a micrometer along. And a design in your head. Angles and tubing round and square are very useful. For the light stuff i buy the rolls of roof flashing from home depot etc. Also make your angles and square tubing out of the lighter guages. If they are paying $0.50 for flat mixed, then you'll probably have to pay $0.75 or $1.00/lb. Make sure you get a receipt because the stuff could be "hot". With the high prices, there is a lot out there. Happy Hunting

side skirts hinged for lift arm access. both skirts were made from a road sign the county scraped.
