Does anyone have any leads on some places to look for some scrap metal? I have a few projects around the house that i need some smaller sections of pipe and angle iron to complete.

Go to a local steel supplier. They may give you some... They have for me several times I've needed a short piece of flat bar or angle.

Go to a local scrap yard, farmer friend or a junk collector. If you go to Lowes or Tractor Supply you will pay high prices when theres a chance at the places mentioned before you can by it cheap by the piece or by the pound.

I miss the days when you could go to a scrap yard and buy stuff. None that I know of allow that any more. Probably for insurance reasons.

call the steel yard and see if they sell "drops," which are leftover pieces when they cut a piece to order. Brecheen in port allen is where i go. i usually just buy the 20' section, so i'll have my own scrap when i need it.

Go wait outside of a scrap yard and offer skeeter a better price than what the yard will pay

Dumpster diving on new construction sites while the structural steel is just about finished can yield good results for red iron, angle iron, pipe, tube steel, etc. Just make sure to check in with the superintendent to make sure it's okay to collect the scrap pieces and that he doesn't flip out thinking that you're taking the pieces that haven't been placed yet.
