Gareth Johnston Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 A friend gave me a lot of these mild steel strips there about 22 inch long and some 5mm - 10mm wide he found them in a skip has no use for them and brought them to me said do whatever you want but not sure. It's very clean steel was covered in oil though. Has anyone any suggestions what I could make ? , thanks Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Those are absolutely worthless. Put them in the mail to me, and I will make sure that they get disposed of properly. Seriously, though, you can make all kinds of things from those. Hooks, chest hardware, light duty tongs, backscratchers, the list goes on and on.

Daswulf Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 If you are like me, you will mess around with them and eventually find the perfect use for them once you are almost out of them. There are way to many uses to think of in one sitting haha. Scrolls, angle brackets, angle brackets with scrolls, bottle openers, trivets, frames, doodads, hickamabobs, thingymajigers, whoseywhats......

ThomasPowers Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Candle holders, strap hinges for small chests, light duty toasting forks, woven baskets, small snails, very busy scroll infill for a gate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 5x10 mm flat is the steel I use for lucky horseshoes. They sell real well around here. Bests: Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
