    Salvaged, cleaned and sorted thru some stock materials during Labor Day:

    This is 12 kg of silver steel/ drill rod (liberated from the stack of printers in the above post),
    that would've cost me some 500 bucks + pp from an online supplier around here:

    Bottom row: a few 5 mm, then mainly 6, 8, 10, some odd 11 and a few 12 mm ones at the top.
    The longest ones just over 500 mm for comparison, the bulk of them around 350 mm.

    Whilst at it, I also found a few chair stands, who were butchered for remelting into 5 kg of AlSi9Cu3 stock:
