I picked up a stack of 24″ squares of 16ga mild steel today. Because of the way they cut and order stuff, 24″ squares must be ordered in lots of 8. I know that the tank for Puff will take two squares and all the other stuff I envision will take more and more, so I thought 16 would be a good order that will last a while.
Bit O’ Metal Trivia… 16 sheets of 2’x2′ 16ga weighs 160 pounds, pretty much…
