Just shy of £1000, five lengths bought and about 3m left over, wasn't the only shock on the job either, I was sitting astride it to weld one of the corners and hadn't noticed that the return clamp had dropped off, you can guess where the hf tracked, I can now confirm that its possible for a human to perform a vertical take off !!.5mm wall. Few quids worth of material there Paul. Tidy job as always
Quick job this morning, bloke comes in and says can you do anything with this?.

Hi Paul, could you tell me the spec of that wire mesh? About to build a guinea pig hutch of all things and as I'm a bit OCD, I wont be using chicken wire, or cheap mesh. The hutch is getting built in hardwood and will be insulated!

only posting because I normally have no input/idea on the prices of stuff mentioned here.... but I just bought a load of 304
80x80 3mm wall welded sqr tube £41.60/meter
40x40 3mm wall welded sqr tube £20.65/meter
10mm round bar £37.50/meter (this was 75 of 100mm lengths, prob pushed price up)
all +vat
no idea how that compares, I hardly ever buy stainless
These seem quite expensive although I don't normally buy these sizes and all of mine is 316 so should be cheaper for 304.
Last time I bought some 40 x 40 x 3 was a couple of years ago and it was £13.50/m
Bought some 10mm Dia 316 2 months ago, only one length at 3m and it was £10 for the 3m
To me you shouldn't have to keep trying to beat them down in price and it really grips my **** that you have to.
GA has been pretty good for me, them and Zurich seemed to be fair at renewal and not try and bump up the price massively and hope you would just pay without searching. The RAC were the worst, wife had a Celica and the first year they were cheap, next year it was tripled, safe to say they didn't get repeat business.Exactly the same as motor insurance.![]()
Drilled a hole each end then run a thin cutting disk along it, then file the ends square, the material is 50 x 30 so not much room to stroke a file, one of those jobs that need a bit of patience.Very nice job. How did you cuts the slots?
