Reply:Also check your yellow pages for "scrap metal" or "fabrication shops" or "metal working" ...anything along those lines. Any big place that uses metal as part of their product line will have HUGE bins out back to recycle. Ask them nicely if they mind if you grab a few small pieces to practice welding.John -  fabricator extraordinaire, car nut!-  bleeding Miller blue! http://www.weldfabzone.com

It was part of a pallet racking system that was going into the dumpster.Keep looking and asking.G3miller... 225g, s32p, 250x, 304, 12vs, MSW41     victor o/a thermal dynamics cutmaster 50 lenco panel spotter        hobart hf-boxG3 Farms.....raising cattle, hay, kids and hell, ...oh yeah I'm a fire sprinkler contractor by trade.
