I have a chance to pick up some scrap pieces of 5" square x 3/16" wall square steel tubing in approx. 4' lengths and 2' lengths .
The machine shop I work for buys this material in 20' lengths and cuts it into pieces just over 48-3/4" long . That means you only get 4 per length and have about a 4' drop .
We have about 100 or so drops that are going to be sold for scrap but the boss says I can have "some" of them . These are the last of the 4' drops because I found a source who will make 22-1/2' bars so I only have about a 2' drop .
I brought a few home to make a drag to go behind my disk but I have not been able to come up with any other uses for the tubing .
Does anyone have any ideas ? I hate to see this stuff go to waste .
thanks a bunch !
