    aluminum scrap prices(michigan)

    OT: Any shop uses for bowling balls?

    Could your shop make artillery rounds?

    do you make a soup pot by starting with a 10" solid round rod and cutting away most of it? yea, not the same, but just sayin' there are proven better ways to make some things, the "modern" idea of hacking anything hollow out of a bar on a CNC lathe is often wasteful and stupid even today with...
