Nice catch Wayne - I rarely make a trip to town without chercking out the scrappy.

Nice score.
I never find myself nice bits of brass.

I nabbed 3 sheets of 1/4" brass at work. They were about 18" x 24" and had smaller rectangular cutouts in the center. They were used in an auditorium to mount floor boxes to house microphone jacks on the stage. When we did an update to the auditorium we replaced them with some modern boxes with lids. I asked what they were going to do with them and they said "in the trash". So I brought them home. Already made a couple of connecting rods and other bits. Should last quite a long time. What's trash to one is treasure to another.
