thehomeengineer,

You saved yourself a lot of money finding this scrap steel.

I looked at the price of a 2"x2"x120" piece of new hot rolled mild steel (ASTM A-36) in two 5 foot sections (which is less expensive than any other cold rolled steel) and the price was $225 without shipping charges.

Luckily, I have friends who manufacture with cold rolled steel, mild hot rolled steel, 316 stainless steel and silicon bronze. Ironically they now have to pay to have their scrap hauled away in CA. They are willing to have me remove whatever I need at no cost.

As compensation, we pay for dinner with our wives and we all enjoy the time out.

Regards,

Paul Jones
