Hi All!
I was lucky enough to find this great site while looking for scrap yards that will allow individuals to poke around & purchase metals. Right now I am looking for FERROUS IRON as I am currently taking a workshop on welding art / sculptures. (In the future I believe we will be using various materials when my friends & I work on projects together.) But for now while attending the workshop our instructor has indicated ferrous iron only.
As for me I have been an artist since I could hold a crayon and started putting things together as soon as I got my greedy little hands on glue. I was a graphic artist for many years. But my true love lies in the fine arts and especially arts that use my hands to build & create. Over many years I dreamed of sculpting & welding huge designs and I finally have the chance to study under an awesome artist. (Then afterwards I have friends & family who weld, forge, or other art or working backgrounds that want to create together. We already started designing our first piece. So, the excitement is growing around here.) I thoroughly enjoyed a day scrapping with my teacher but the group was so large we each got a very limited time on the yards. I could have spent days there rooting. But now, on my own, I am finding many places are not open to individuals. So, my snafu has led me to your forums in hopes of meeting others, learning as much as possible and in great hopes of finding anywhere within a 3 hr drive to scrap at. BTW - I live in PA but can get to DE & MD within 15 minutes. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
We are out to a nearby place right now but tonight I plan to dig thru the forums to look for any sellers to individuals.
Wishing you all a very scrappy day! ~Suz
