You would not believe the amount of people who ask me what SWL means.
Those beams were used as spreader bars to pick precast concrete utility vaults for an aircraft carrier pier we built at the local Navy shipyard. All I had to do was cut off the ends and make a full pen splice in the center of the 24' long, 12" x 87# W-shape.

I like that grill for the stove project. I save all grates and grills from any junk appliances I get. They work great for quick repairs to chicken pens and small animal cages.
