Fred, Scrap steel is a great idea. My problem is I have no means for cutting and fabricating so, I'll likely use the angle iron framework that several of my implements came in and my angle grinder for some of the framing for my project. The square tube I'll have to source locally. Welding will have to be contracted out...I'm not a welder or, should I say, I have no welding experience or equipment.
I imagine there is plenty of steel scrap nearby inasmuch as Birmingham, AL was once the steel capitol of the South. The old furnaces are now museums however, the is still some specialized steel making and several large coke ovens operational. Nowadays, the main crop of Alabama is Mercedes Benz cars, fat people, crooked politicians and football players (Roll Tide).
My disc harrow work will be in full swing next spring as I till my cover crop under and prepare for seeding either Bermuda or Bahia. After than, the disk will likely lay idle until I sell it.
