You can't use that stuff it's second hand....
But I can take it off your hands .;)
They had a lot more and some 1/4" x 6" flat , 50-60 pcs 20', I am on limited income and just could put out the dollars to get anymore. Looking like i need a set of 2 piece ramps for my enclosed trailer.
I won't ask what you paid since it will probably only make me cry. Too bad cash was short to nab it all. You could probably re-sell it and you would eventually use it I would bet.
On the ramps. Go a foot longer than you think is enough :) Also, aluminum is a great choice. I have a set of 9' aluminum hand ramps, all my trailers have steel ramps, you will be much happier with the weight of the aluminum ramps. Maybe I am just getting old.
Keep us posted on the project and pics if you have time.
I made some aluminum cabinets for my enclosed bike trailer. I will post a project up if I get the pictures downloaded.
Could do a lightweight welder cart. Maybe a portable welding / work table. Something small, 2ftX2ft or something. Light and easy to move.
Just for curiosity, what kind of place did you buy this from? I'd like to keep my eyes open for a similar place near here. I'm thinking it's not the original retailer, because they would sell it for retail prices. Is it some kind of building materials leftovers place?Quote:
