I have been hovering over the dump, but I think the guy that works there is on to anything worth keeping.

I'm looking for a small heavy piece(3"x3") for the drain and a couple pieces for dividers that would probably be around 4'6"x12".

Ride around wolpole or one of the bigger towns over there talk to constrution sites. They through everything away. You can check with other sugar shacks over there. You have Clarks (Dave and Alvin) just before you get to Bascoms.They may have something kicking around. I now he had one his tanks shot full of holes a couple years back. If you can't find anything i'll look over here. My ex lives at clarks and my son could drop it off if I can find something.

Someone once suggested to find out where the milk trucks go to get repaired when they back into the corner of the barn (AGAIN!) Nice bright shiny stainless, and they cut out the whole panel and replace it. Restaurant renos are a great source of scrap stainless for me - just look in the dumpsters out back.

If you are going to weld mild steel to stainless use 309 ss wire. I have 18 and 22 ga. Stainless that I can shear to size if needed.

Where does one find 309SS wire. The metal of a milk truck would be pretty thick to work with. Fine for patchs but to do much else would be a pain.

That you will probably get at a welding supply house. Airgas, praxair, or weld specialty is what we have around here. 309 is made specificly for ss to mild steel welding.

Okay what would one use to weld SSto SS. This is with a arc welder.

[wegnerwelding]

Use an E308 electrode for ss to ss arc weldind.
