Eric Farrar Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Moving time has come and I don't see the point in hauling my steel 2 states away then storing it for a few years.... And the wife says I have to get rid of it. I would much rather give it away to a smith than send it to scrap! Also giving away/selling tools - ask if interrested! I have about 30 pieces of HR 1045 around 8' long ranging from 5/16" to 1" - square and round, and a few strips of 1/2"x1/8" flat and one 3"x3/16" flat HR 1095 I think it is. I also have 4 nearly 1" thick NEW heavy truck coil springs, 4 sets of leaf springs, 4 20# (standard grill size) propane tanks, 2 full- size O2 tanks - 1 full but I'll use a bit of it to cut this stuff up.... I have a 63" long 3" square tube, 3/16" wall. And some odds and ends of tube and plate Shop stuff and tools (selling dirt cheap or its going to get sold at a pawn shop for dirt cheap): cabinets,drawers, New 25' and 50' O/A hoses, a 30 ton air over hydraulic bottle jack, a ryobi 6" bench grinder with spare wheels, a couple 4-6" bench vices, some LYON 8'x12'x3' steel storage shelves system, air compressor (25 gal tank?), about 50# of 3/32-3/16" welding rod - mostly 6011 5/32" new, but a bit of other stuff including cronotron cronocast cast iron rods..... 15" variable speed (belt driven) bench-top SKIL drill press, welding vice-grips,O/A welding and brazing rod, brazing/welding flux for O/A..... I have to get rid of 95% of what I have and am heart broken enough about that! I would much rather see a smith get this stuff than the scrap yard and pawn shops. If you want the steel, just come get it or I will cut it up and send it in flat rate boxes for cost of shipping plus a couple bucks for cutting time.... Just PM me - I have 3 weeks to clear out of my shed. Before we starts packing for the move. Sorry - forgot to mention location: Fountain Colorado (Colorado Springs area) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstermetal Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hey Eric I would be happy to take all the 1045 and 1095... I'll shoot you a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunsmithnMaker Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Makes me wish I was still living in Colorado. It's been 20 plus years since I could enjoy a Coors right off the line. I hope you find a good home for all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Man Eric. I lived in the Springs for 6 years, back in mid-late 80's. I miss it. Wish I could make the trip. I'd help you out on some of it. It would cost me too much to ship. Good luck. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Farrar Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Thanks to everyone wanting steel I am looking at an affordable move... And Vulcan must be looking out for me because I also got an unsolicited call from a relative offering up some shop space until I buy another house in a few years, so my tools will have a new home!

Fosterob Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 That sounds great if you can keep your good stuff. Good luck on the move. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arftist Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Eric, try to keep all the welding rods and small tools. Make room for them. Special welding rod prices have gone through the roof lately. Rods you may have paid $5 a pound for now cost $50 a pound or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
