If I get a chance I'll shoot a photo of my scrap pile. Most of the items in it grew out of the ground on the property. Previous owner was a junkaholic and just basically a slob. Looks like when he would take something apart he would just leave whatever he removed just where it fell. Pretty well have it cleaned up after 14 years.

I "live" out of mine. I haven't bought any new steel for projects for at least 10 years and there's always something to fix, improve, improvise, overcome. I hate to say it but I don't toss scraps. Come in handy time and time again.

My junk pile, once in a while I find something useful.

SweetFeet · Aug 31, 2016

Speed Taylor's Junk Yard in Flagstaff AZ. He was a cigar eating individual that burned tires in a home made rubber only stove to keep warm (Flag has winter!!) Every 3 days he would pull the steel out of the "hearth" to allow more tires to fit in. He had some of the greasiest clothes I have ever seen being worn. They were slick black. One of his specialties was 100 MPG carburetors (mostly on 225 Electras and Mercury Montereys). His "yard Trucks" were constructed from components welded on from random vehicles. I purchased from him a bed for a 51 GMC 3/4 (I still have), that had 4 High powered rifle holes in it. There was a huge house boat next to the """Main Office""" (not much big water near Flagstaff) that was falling in on itself like a black hole. Ah the memories. Does anyone remember Speed! Jim

I would post ours but somebody might want to steal it for the good iron in it. don't buy much new steel. When My now wife met me her friends asked where we went for parts. She said they make everything. I haven't seen then buy any yet.

A little something from me.

SweetFeet · Aug 31, 2016

Thanks, Jeffcat.

All great pics... I still love that rusty toy truck.

SweetFeet · Aug 31, 2016

bluewatermassey,

Great pics. My husband has said before that if he ever leaned that way... he'd get a WD-something.

Speed's yard sounds like a place I'd like to visit (with camera in hand).

SweetFeet · Aug 31, 2016

I can see some yardart in there... stick that rusty sleeve in the ground, fill it with dirt and plant some flowers in it.

Next to it - kind of looks like a steel spool of some sort... could become a rusty flag-holder if stuck in the ground.
