What about checking with a local machine shop?

I did find one via Craigslist in Detroit who said he`d sell me scrap for $0.20 a pound but I`d have to come in at like 2 in the afternoon and I`m always working.
I`m waiting to hear back from Alro, I might just call them, and this Friday I`m going to hit up the local Fastenal since I`m not working and can actually find time to run out there.
Here are some welds with the Hobart. this is before I cleaned up any splatter and I ran out of wire so it`s not done yet.
They are not the prettiest but they`ll do the job.
