Anyone got some 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" x 1/8" mild steeel angle iron hanging around?

Getting as rare as hens' teeth these days but have you thought of trying to find some old fashioned iron bed-stead frames?

Ha! I used all mine up already. :c)

Not rusted through I hope

There's a second hand steel merchant in Dewsbury:

James Dunkerley Steels Ltd

Very cheap prices (c. 25-50% on new prices)

I paid 10 quid for a 20ft length of 50mm RHS

He does a delivery service (was around 15 quid 2-3 years ago) and will also cut (roughly) to length.

Alternatively:

Morley Waste Traders - about 5 minutes from White Rose centre

will let you walk round (take wellies if it's anything like wet) and take what you want - I usually pay a quid or two each for up to six foot lengths of pretty much anything I can carry

They had a lathe there last year - about 10ft centre, 12" centre height 3ph he wanted 150 quid for it, including delivery! Wish I had the room.

I am vaguely reminded me of a popular music hall song or might have been a monologue (long before even my time)...

"The night the bed fell in on father".

Try "Mallard Metal Packs" 0121 624 0302

They currently list 30 x 30 x 3 or 40 x 40 x 3 black angle.

No connections other than being a satisfied customer.

I know Dunkerley Steels, the place it's about 2 miles from me. I'll give the guy a try, he could be usefull. Cheers.

Well, in end I got 60 foot of 25 x 25 x 3 black angle which I thought would probably do the job.

Cost me £15 inc delivery!

(Well it cost me £16, the guy did not have the fiver change).
