A steel steal



Here's my little flatbed trailer loaded with the steel I scored yesterday. The big sheet of plate steel is on the bottom and hanging off the back. There are a few more sheets and then on top is the dismantled truck cage. On the other side you might be able to see the 1 1/2" X 3/4 tubing I got for my feeder project.

I started cutting the pieces for the feeder today, and I got the end piece welded on. I cut 2 legs tonight, with 2 more to go. After the first cut I got the hang of the technique I need to cut it (1/8") with my hand saw with a metal cut off blade (plunge).
The second one went way faster than the first, which I cut like I would cut wood.
I hope to get this feeder mostly finished in a day or 2.
