Scrap Yards

DReicht · Nov 15, 2006

Is there any specific etiquette I should be aware of in a scrap yard? Is it ok if I ask to just look around, or do they not let you do that anymore?

Ask but don't tell them your a knifemaker or they'll charge you double.......

XD does anyone know any reputable good, honest, scrap yards on Long Island?

Don't know anything about those Yankee scrap yards but down here all I do is find a place to park and start walking around. Sometimes I don't even see anybody until it time to pay.

Say, why you're looking...if you happen to find any Confederate war booty stolen about 142 years ago, let me know. I'll send my cousins to pick it up

Our Master Junkyard Entrepreneur is IG, the master of great and useful finds. Perhaps he will inject some of his wisdom here. Maybe Mister Rascal IG will see this and honor us with his presence, unless he's busy throwing dog road rockets at his nasty neighbor or sniping tame squirrels with his pellet gun.

First of all!!! You Ole Injun!!! I bet you Lil Sweetheart must of found you in the junkyard in the trash pile.

HEHEHEHEHE!!!

The junkyards in this area have alot of gear from the fishing boats, since we are the largest fishing port on the east coast. I have gotten wrought iron anchor chain, 1 1/2" cable and etc. I got all my I-beams to build my press from the junkyard too.:thumbup:

Ig would know, he was there when the boat was sunk. Also, IG's nickname aboard ship was Anchor. IG 's shipmates had a favorite prank, they always had IG toss the anchor overboard. Then, he had to quickly chew through the rope that was tied to his leg and the quickly disappearing anchor chain headed for Davy Jones's locker.

I'm sorry it was the one on the Ark that you did.
