Looking for info...

admin

Hi, guys,  I have been offline for a year or so, and glad to be back hope you can help me with this....   I am trying to find out where I might can get a certain reference book on metals.  To be specific, I was given a book by one of my steel suppliers (Now out of Business)  That contained charts on weights per foot  of all shapes and sizes even stainless and Aluminum shapes as well. I mean it covered everything from sheets, expanded, rolled shapes, to pipe, tubes, and shafts.  This was a small pocket-size book maybe 3" x 5" in size.  I have abolutely worn out my last one and I really could use a few more of these.  I mean i have some larger books with the info,  its just so convienent to use the smaller ones on a job site when I need one.   I have searched on the internet but can't find anything similar.  Thought you guys might now of a source.   Thanks for the help.  ~JacksonI'm a Lover, Fighter, Wild horse Rider, and a pretty good welding man......

Reply:Thanks guys, It's good to be back.  All we had here in the area was Dial up  service and out here in the country it got so bad i just let it go since I never could get it to work when i wanted it, and I started doing alot of work away from home.  Now we finally got the DSL so I am good to go. I Plan to be aorund quite often now.  I just ordered a couple books from amazon.  Hopefully one will work for what I need. ~JacksonI'm a Lover, Fighter, Wild horse Rider, and a pretty good welding man......
