OK I have a lot of steel in my usable stock area. Although it is not always exactly what I want it is always exactly what I need to get the job done
I frequent auctions and whenever I can buy for 10% of what I can sell it for in scrap it gets loaded on a trailer.
I bought 8 of these for $10.00 they are about 200 lbs each

It may be a little hard for some to visualize how those are going to become a fork carriage so you will have to wait until tomorrow after I start cutting and welding them together
