Will a "Waste Metal Recycler" (Scrappie) sell me odd bits of steel?

Once you get to the brass/bronze bins in a normal scrapyard, there are usually plenty of nuggets in those which are pocket/toolbox size too. I've found most of the time that persistence can be key when dealing with any type of scrapyard. Even the ones who won't let you in to start with may be more affable once they get to know you somewhat.

Mostly off topic...

Its my girlfriends birthday, so was off to the scrap yard yesterday with all the copper ive been putting aside.
£119 for some metal that i had no use for wasn't bad : )

Ill be converting it into women's shoes later today.

(yes, i know there are way more interesting things to buy, but those other interesting things are certainly easier to enjoy when the OH is smiling ; )


As per the comments above, ive dealt with both scrap yards and engineers - id imagine that engineers would, in virtually every case, be more happy to help another engineer.

What size shoes do you take Julian, apparently WWW.longtallsally.com has size nine to size fifteen womens shoes that may suit your desires .
