Time to visit your local scrap yard
Darren:
Nice apples, but your ruby don't look so good.....
Oh the bar, looks bigger than 1.5" square, and it looks like a piece of wood in the pic.... :scratch:
raynerd:
LOL, wood, that is why he sold it me for £14 lol, thought it looked like funny swarf when I was machining it :lol:
Darren, just been given some demijohns off FreeCycle so I`m going to press them with a bucket full of my grandads and have a go at doing some cider. I guess the apple press I`m going to make will me a :proj: ?
I tried forcing the Rubarb this year and although it tasted gooooood, don`t think it did it much good!

about 6 months ago i needed a piece of hydralic tubing to make a sleave forthis big gas engine.
the od was 5 1/2" and the id was 5"........so i went to a shop that made hydralic cylinders and asked for a piece 17" long.
well i near fell over when the guy told me it would be $300.00 :bugeye:
so long story short, i went to a locale scrap yard and found a piece that was 35" long and it cost me $5.00 :ddb:
this engine was a scrap yard find
this next picture shows the sleave i made using the hydralic tubing from the scrap yard
scrap yards are amazing places............you never know what you might find there.
chuck :wave:

My favourite spot sells me scrap steel at .25 / lb. (cash). They get a lot of their supply from machine shops and so there are plenty of 2-3 in plate scraps.
