My weekly dumpster diving adventures at the local scrap yard netted an interesting find.
I managed a 20 lb box of good sized aluminum cut offs that included 1-1/2" sq. ,some round disc's ranging from 1-1/2"- to 3", and some short 3/4" and 1'' thick rectangle drops.
Then the owner pointed out a hopper full off clean copper plates and long round drops.
I found a short round (most of the pieces would require a bank loan!) 2-3/4" diameter 11" long.
It was love at first sight! :big:
Will I have a problem with getting a good surface finish?
Does anyone have any tips, tricks, or condolences in regards to my impulsive purchase?
