He was trying to do the right thing but that is why he is probably still a foreman not a bossI have found that most small engineering or fabrication shops will be quite amenable to off-cut request, Once years ago I approached a local warehouse space heater maker for some of their off -cuts from the sheet metal casings to use for body repairs. Couldn't believe it when the foreman started laying out the pieces the floor to work out the square footage and then wanted the same price per square foot that they had paid for it as a full sheet, Needless to say, no purchase took place, ( you couldn't make this stuff up)
