I am very lucky I met the lead hand in a larger machine shop here in Calgary and he gives me lots of off cuts, end pieces in brass stainless and steel, some of them are exotic materials so I will need to0 get some kind of chart to help identify them but I get lots of pieces soome up to 6 inch diametewr and better as well as some bar material up to 3x6 so far. He currently has a 45 gallon drum that he is working at filling for me(I will have a hard time finding a place to keep/organize it all. This shop specializes in compressor heads/motors and specialty pieces for the oil patch/he was a great contact for me to make and he will take nothing as payment for said items. tom
