    Right behind me....... Actually these are now hard to come by, as the price of scrap is nearly that of stock. But if you find a friendly burn shop running laser or plasma, they can be convinced to deal. For the right project, a box of instant gussets would be a huge plus.

    Far as the magnet goes, these have been around awhile from handheld to manipulated by crane . Another variation is sheet separators, that fan the next few of sheet metal, kind of like playing cards, for an operator to avoid prying them.
    I've watched press brake operators struggle without them, places apparently immune to cost of overhead.
