Looking for round or square stock, solid steel.....

[greasy]

Do any of you guys have access to this stuff for cheap or free 99? Ideal size would be 7"L x 2.5"W x 1.25"H and I would want 16 pieces. Let me know if you guys have anything!

thats an odd round size...

making a super jenga that can smash toes with the greatest of ease?

 

[greasy]

Yeah not quite round dimensions, 7"L x 2"D.

I need these for my weighted vest, 50 lbs. has become too "normal".

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

well if you're really looking to kill yourself that bad I do have a nice heavy Buick block that you can chain yourself to if the vest is not heavy enough.

Damn I can't get that much steel out of work.

X2, would love to help but that's a lot.

if tubby would lose a few lbs he wouldnt need as much weight to stay on the bottom

This does not have to be all at once and not everything needs to be identically sized. I just am looking for scrap pieces approximately that size that weigh 5+ lbs per bar. If I had to wait like a month to accumulate all 16 pieces it is not a big deal at all. I will make it worth your while in beers!

If there is a remote possibility either of you guys could lose your job or get in serious trouble do not bother, I do not want to put you into that type of situation.

I've got an 18" round billet of stainless about 3" thick. you could wear it like a ninja turtle shell?

 

[EmersonHart13]

What about PVC pipe and concrete?

Lol

I have the vest already and it is well balanced. It has 16 pockets and the weights are essentially sand filled pouches. Just trying to replace the sand pouches with something more substantial.

 

[greasy]

The PVC filled with sand is a good alternative. It weighs about 1.5 times more given the same volume.

I'm sure TCG would be happy to help you... we'll just have a day at the range and will pump you full of lead

in all seriousness, go up to any tire joint, slip the kid a 10$ and walk away with a 50lb bucket of used wheel weights, melt in fire, pour into shallow troughs in the ground to make lead ingots
or just clip off all the ends with snips and toss em in the pockets.

on the plus side youll be jogging with radiation shielding from here on out.

Since getting solid pieces of steel may be a bit of a challenge, why not try steel BB's in there instead? With their curved surface, I don't know it their weight density will end up being enough to be beneficial, but it may be worth a try! Perhaps lead shot double bagged to prevent lead poisoning could be another option too.

Fucking genius James! I am going to try this.

I was looking at lead shot yesterday, still kind of expensive in my brief research. Will look a little more though.

I know

You still have this shit? I need to pick it up from you.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

Man, do Mustang owners take their own sweet time...

I figured you didn't need it anymore with the weight of all that shame on your shoulders

So you do or don't have it lol

 

[Mr. SBF]

If I were you, I would try and find some used downrigger balls for Lake Michigan Salmon trolling and melt them down into bars. Via: Ebay or craigslist.

I use 50/50 solder bars regularly for custom metal work, if you can't find any and want to pony up the dough for new materials I use Chris Industries in Northbrook for supplies.

I might be able to spare some round stock. You might also think about using steel chains.

ill do anything to slowly kill a mustang owner through heavy metal poisoning
