Where do you get your welding iron (cheaply)?

I like to go to my local metal fab shops and pick throught there scrap piles. They usually will cut me a good deal for random angle, box, sheet metal etc..

find a place that makes steel tubing, angle, sheets etc. if they mess up a weld or bend they cut of around 8 feet around the bad section and throw it out, just go dig through there scrap pile. that they call "bad" is actually pretty good metal. my friends grandpa does this so i can get basically whatever steel i want almost for free

Hey Spencer, is there any place in Concord like that? I'm in Laconia, and could make the trip if possibilities were there. Thanx.

Scrap metal recycling places. Sometimes they will; let you just pick through what others have brought in.
