A machine shop near home closed up shop.
A machine shop near home closed up shop. I happened to score this truck load of steel from the place today. Had to be close to 1,500 pounds. My truck was squatting a bit.

I need more shelves. 😳 And then went spelunking at Lee’ Machinery with @foxbergsfabbercobblin looking for tooling. Great way to spend a Saturday but my back is roached!
