using scrap metal on UDS build...

[Lowej82]

Anyone see any problems with using the angle iron from bed frames on the outside of my UDS build?

im looking to use it to build a shelf off of each side and a frame on bottom of the uds for casters. Trying to keep it as close to free as possible and realized I had brand new bed frame in the box under my bed, theres at least 20' of it and I cant use 2 frames for the bed at once.

I missed where is said new one in a box under the bed

lmao, yea the women came home with new bed set and thinks I switched the frames with the matresses so she will never notice there gone.

And WE won't tell her neither!

The biggest pain will be cleaning the paint off everytime you go to weld it ….

Well..... I wont be the one doing the welding, I will have to measure and cut everything and try to have all the paint grinded off the areas that will be welded. I didnt even even think about the paint.

You know I used some of this stuff as angle iron before for whatever the reason. But after I welded it in place, I found it to be very hard to drill. I don't know much about it, but if you don't need to drill in it you will be fine.
