Post:Scrap Heap Challenge

From Fozzee.net

Well, I'm back from my road trip and things are crazy busy as usual, both at work and at home, trying to get things finished up. I took the time last night to acquire a junk bedframe off of Craigslist, which I promptly scrapped for the angle iron. This was a "single/full" convertible frame, and yielded between 15 and 20 feet of ~1.5" angle. The rivets were either drilled (for pop-style ones) or ground with a cutoff wheel and punched. The frame itself is fairly hard, as others have noted, but the rivets seemed very soft, especially the pop-rivets. I'd expected to use cutoff wheels much faster than I actually did.
