    Looking for file cabinets for an artist who recycles metal into sculptures

    Hi! My name is Leisa and I live in Marietta. I am on the Beautification committe for the PTA where my daughter goes to school, and right now I am tasked with redoing the butterfly garden. As I am always looking for unique objects to put there, I luckily came across an artist who makes wonderful butterfly and many other sculptures from recycled everything metal!!
    I am trying to find old, cheap (my school budget!) metal filing cabinets.
    This is not an easy thing to find, so I hope someone here will have a direction to point me in.
    At the very least, google this woman and look at what she's doing with these things people have discarded.
    Her name is Kathy Walton.
    Thanks!!

    Welcome and good luck with your search, I'm a little far to help with the filing cabinets but if you need a pair of these I can set you up.

    Look at your local Craigslist. I know here in denver people are giving them away for free all the time. Also if you go to some local auctions they usualy sell for 10 each or less.
