Sign fab

[sberry]

We salvaged these deals that look fundamentally like real estate signs. most are bent and it seems they pop up from time to time. I should have got a box of 24x24 panels as well as 18x24.
I know the township guy, I might have to offer a reward to who ever brings my sign frame back, like 5$ or so to some can collector types.

Sberry, if I ever get remotely close to your area, I'm going to stop by to purchase some strawberries and just shake your hand.

It will be worth it.

I'm ashamed that every year I go fishing in his back yard but don't take time to stop in for a cup of coffee.

Gonna have to fix that this fall.

Talk at you later, Cary.

Be worth the trip just to see if he makes any more sense in person.

Ok, what that babble was about is I was looking to "source" more "materials". It seemed not too long ago these fuggers were everywhere.
Now that I want them there are none in 10 miles.

Ah, now i got you. Make friends with your local independent scrap collector and have them contact you when they get them. If you pay a bit above scrap they are typically glad to sell to you over the recycling yard.

My brother gets all his rebuilder lawn mowers this way. Scrap guy goes all over town on trash night looking for metal. When he finds mowers he sells them to my brother for $5-10 each. Its a win for everyone really. Scrap guy makes more then he would at the recycle yard and my brother saves all the time and effort of searching for cores.

These guys usually advertise on craigslist so they are easy to find too. Try it out!

Sberry, you've been around long enough to know that this is the way things go. You trip over stuff for years, and its all over craigslist until you want/need something, then ****, its all gone. I'm in the same boat with things like this.
