I have no clue when it come to welding so I am looking for a little help. I am wanting to have a piece of Steel made into a 90 degree so that I can strap it to a tree for cleaning a deer. Then I got to thinking about it and maybe it would be nice to have several made to mount to trees to hang my deer feeders from. I just need some simple angle iron with some holes tapped into them. Any one know about how much it would cost to have a 90 degree made with a support brace. Would like a hole tapped into it so I could screw it into the tree. Anyone know about how much it would cost and where around BR I could get several made if the price is right????

All you want is 2 pieces of angle welded together to form a 90 degree angle with a hole in it to screw it to a tree?

Get a piece of angle and a band saw, cut it like it's shown in the picture to form a 90, bring it to me and I'll weld it together for you. Then drill the holes.

go stainless or aluminum

Seriously, Home Depot and lowes sell 4 foot sticks of angle up to 1/4" thick in steel. I don't know any steel supply places in your area.

My dad bought a Campjack that works good for hoisting deer.

I'm neither sure on price or where to buy it. I weld in a plant so everything I get is already paid for and delivered to the plant. I've heard of a place behind spillway sportsman in brusly on American way but I don't know the name. I can weld both carbon steel and aluminum. I cannot weld stainless because I'm not set up to weld it. My grandpa might actually have some aluminum angle in his shop, I'll check tonight when I get out of the woods.

If he needs more than two 4' sections, I'd go to Sabel Steel on Flannery and buy it. Two 4' sections at Home Depot will be about the same price as 20' from Sable. They can cut it to length too.

No doubt.

When you do something right it just hurts ONE time.
