    Yeah, you ain't kidding. I don't normally get ticks on me, but this year I got ticks. Need more giant herds of mythical wild guinea fowl to sweep through :hungry:

    Hi!
    Besides one specific application, I can't say I really have anything planned out for a listed length at the moment. That one app I have I'll end up buying - the wear bar for the bottom of the ATV plow. I trash mine every couple years on my horrible gravel driveway. Last time I welded a 10 inch piece at each end to go over the most worn corners, but its overall height is now again too little. I'll just put a new whole length on this time and weld it to the plow itself. Cheaper DYI instead of buying a long painted bar at the dealer.

    What I was thinking otherwise is for just experimenting on some random ideas for trinkets in the truck bed or small stuff to make shed hangers with. Like, one thing I did with what was around was just cut a 1/4 inch x 1 inch flat to 1 inch long, drill and tap. Instant bed rail "nut" to bolt up stuff for pennies. Might try to get one or two gas canister and tote holders together for in the bed. Most things like this I just do on the fly as I think of them, so any misc parts work to start with. Plus I can practice my ... we'll call "welding"... :anonymous:


    I do miss digging in the scrap piles at work haha. I was in R&D positions most of the time, so it wasn't big piles like on the production floor but sometimes unique stuff. If you got some of that easily enough and are offering, I could take you up on that at some point. Bucket o' bits or whatever, but probably just hot roll? Does cold weld about the same? Never did any cold roll yet. And I'm staying away from stainless and alum for now. I got enough performance issue lol.

    :cheers:

    Definitely can help you out!

    I believe cold roll is the same just no scale on it. I don’t weld?
