free aluminum sheet

Post by Brianut »

I have 4 peices of aluminum 15" X 19" X 1/16"

these are Handicapped signs that were replaced at my place of employment.

3 say reserved parking only with the blue wheelchair and white background and 1 has the chair with wording that says "van accessible".

was gonna recycle them but figured if somebody wanted to hang it in your garage ( I like weird stuff like that) or needed some alum for building brackets or dash panels or something they could have them.
I can bring them tomorrow if anyone wants em

I was just imagining a handicap parking only sign with a guy sitting in a lawn chair and the silhouette of of a Bronco on jack stands.

Dont know if I am closer or not, but I have lots of aluminum scraps lying around. We fabricate and install the aluminum storefront doors and windows most all of you have in your office or every time you walk into a mall.... Always have extrusions, angles, sheet scraps around. We take probably 600 pounds a month to the recycle yard (it is where I get most of the money for my little projects so as not to alert my wife as to how much this stuff really costs - if she found out we would need an addition to the house for all her purses and shoes...

Anyway, if you need anything let me know - scraps are yours, you can have some if you make it to the bumper build.

Greg, what sizes do you deal with? If I make it up some time in the next few weeks, I'd like to pop in and have a look-see.

Alum sheets are .040 or .063 thicknes, sizes can be from several square inches inches to several square feet depending on what we are woring on at the time. The framing will be mostly storefrot 2" X 4 1/2 inches "tubing", extruded shapes for the glazing pockets. Wall thicknes will vary but typically will be in the 1/8" range.

Almost everything will be anodized, I dont think it matters for welding practice but thought you might want to know.

To us it is all scrap and woth no more than .47 a pound. I wont miss a few pieces in the least.
