How about listing them on Craig's List?

Hi Lads 

A wee bit of recycling today at work , I had to make safe and scrap off a customers machine today , always fun to do and you you just dont no what you may fined . 

Well I ended up with this lot .




Not bad when its cut into handy lengths , it was being used as ballast . I will turn it into tool holders and other work holding devices  like these .




Fabricated from steel plate

Nice haul Rob!

Do you have a surface grinder or is that your shiny metal camera at work again.

Oh, and I almost forgot.

That deserves a tremendous you suck Rob. What a find.

The luck some people have.................It meks me badly!
Nice haul Rob, but you made the Keats and the angle plate, surely?
Phil

Hi Lads , 

 Yes I did make the angle and Keats style plates , welded construction

I love the look of that angle plate! The only thing I would have done differently would be to leave that top edge square on both sides because I might need to have a clamp right up near the top and would need that square to have a firm clamping area. Yours appears to have a big chamfer on the back side. Is that another optical delusion of mine?

Yer valid point , But as  this angle plate is designed for face plate work ( reason for large rad on short leg )  I would not be using clamps to secure the work ,so no problem there
