I need to buy a very small amount of 50mm box section.

I have to remind our guys that today's junior site staff are the project managers of the future.

Not all of them though.

I’ve probably got some 50x50x 2 off cuts galvanised if you pay post?

 

[Pete.]

Not all of them though.

True but you don't know which ones

 

[Onoff]

I just cut some down to make 50x25 channel...

If you can wait until the weekend I'll look here. Pretty sure postage will be more expensive than finding a local fab shop who'll let you have it for a drink.

Each length is about 1KG?

I just posted 2KG of metal with Hermes about this size and it was about £6 on a 2-4 day. It got there too!

I reminded a few people today that a young engineer, not that long out of apprenticeship, I stood with in a machine in Seville 15yrs ish ago, swapping out snapped off lubrication pipes, is now European Managing Director of our biggest competitor . . . ie stop ****ing off our brightest guys as they won't stay to be ****** off for long . . .

We are blessed with a very helpful family owned local steel stockholder on Teesside, who will cut long lengths of steel to fit into your vehicle or trailer at modest extra cost. They provide the same courteous service to large & small buyers. Proper way to run a business.

Where? If it's where I'm thinking of they wouldn't sell you a couple of 200mm lengths and now have minimum charge!

 

[Onoff]

Yep got a bit:

Long leg 12", short, rustier leg, 7 1/2". No probs for me to cut it.

 

[Onoff]

Got a bit of ali too:

23 1/2" long.

& there's more, 20" steel, 3mm wall:

Hi Brightspark,
I’m referring to CS, admittedly it’s a year or two since I used them & any business can change, I presume your experience is more recent?

Thank you for all the replies. It is always very reassuring that there is always members willing to help.

I didn't respond yesterday as I was waiting for someone I had contacted earlier to get back to me. All sorted now. Thank you all
