lakeside forge Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hey IFI people, I live in Atlanta, Ga and have had no luck with finding scrap yards that will let you pick around. If any one knows PLEASE let me know! Thanks, Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkie Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Good luck. My son, in Atlanta, was coming over for a visit and I asked him if he could round up some scrap for me. He went to a few large welding shops (might have cutoffs), steel yards (for drops) and even a couple of blacksmiths. They all basically ran him off and told him not to come back. I can well understand why a blacksmith would say no, since we work with scrap and ain't gonna part with any!! I think the metal salvage people are being such a nuisance to those shops that it's getting harder to get scrap. The metal scrap yards are reluctant to let you in to poke around for liability insurance reasons. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecelticforge Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 There is one on 129, south of Gainesville about 10 miles. Take a box of doughnuts :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 There are several Seaton's yards in Athens, Tn. Not to far from Atlanta. Don't go to one of the Seaton's and mention that you went to one of the others. Family feud. Athens is about 50 miles east of Chattanooga.
