Topic:
Scrapping Nuts and Bolts
Well, I do intend to submit photos for this contest. They are CERTAINLY nothing special. I'd be VERY SURPRISED if I actually won this contest!
The photos--Back to the basics of Scrap! They would include "Before" and "After" pictures of scrap which I have processed--and the end result--the cold hard cash and a close-up of the price-per-poundages I am getting and of the poundage which I have sold!
If anyone really wants to, please give me a "THANKS"!
I'd genuinely appreciate it!
And as I have said, I certainly don't expect to make ANYTHING from this!--It is just a small little project!
It is LIKE NOTHING--IT IS NOTHING!
It is just pictures of me--like I am going along my general daily routines--if this could be referred to as "Made From Scrap", than I would welcome this!
Otherwise--no hard feelings!
Thanks again for your time--As I have said, there are NO hard feelings about any of this!--I'd be JUST AS HAPPY IF ANY ONE OF YOU WON!
But anyway--thanks!
Thanks very much for your time!
God bless!

Sorry people, I can't seem to get my photos uploaded!
I'd appreciate a description on how to accomplish this, if you could spare one!
Thanks very much for your time!

I just donated that couch to goodwill because I have never sat on it once and it has been in our shop for 3 years. I made that cat tower three years ago and sprayed catnip all over it and I haven't been able to get them off the thing ever since haha.

I liked this idea because it I felt people were more likely to stick your "card" to a fridge or filing cabinet rather then add to there pile of business cards or just throw away

Out of curiosity, how did you get the company info printed into the magnet like that? Looks good.

For everyone else, only 2 days left!

Admin, you can have a custom ink stamp made for a reasonable price.

We havent tried anything else yet but plan on casting or own parts...the possiblity's are endless of what you can reproduce....I even thought about making a brass plaque instead of aluminum......

I also plan on using it for scraping...was thinking i can get the formed aluminum seperated off steel like motor shafts and such and pour my own ingots....



and yes i know i cant spell LOL spelled forum, and plaques wrong a couple times......my bad!

You may make mine to read 'Sirscrapalotisms'. :p

Diggin it Losthope.

Sirscrapalot - Giggling over the confusion he would cause with a custom sandblasted tag that said "Sirscrapalotisms".

It was actually printed on sticky transparent waterslide decal paper. I originally wanted it to be white but most printers cannot print in white believe it or not. I tried yellow and grey but it blended in and did not look so good. I really wanted to use white vinyl lettering but the text was too small and would tear.

Here was my original thread on it back in the day... The pictures are missing though..
