    This is an obvious question... Of course you make something... The question you should have asked is what should I make with all this angle iron. I would say you make a cube out of it, then line the inside or outside, (your preferrance) with expanded metal with small holes. Make the top side so that it hinges open, and is able to lock closed. Then you go out, catch some minows, and store them in this cube underwater, til its time to go ice fishing. Now that what I would do. Jason W.

    Exclamation

    I use my little 180 MIG so much, I think I'd use my 1"angle scrap to build another cart/dolly/weld table for it....then I'd have an excuse to go buy ANOTHER Handler180 and keep it stocked with 4043 or 5056 aluminum so I didn't have to keep switching over my first one

    a rack for long stuff

    Sorta like what Whateg0 posted pictures of ... 'sept shorter and wider. Mine would sit in one spot against the house to hold 8' and 10' lengths of stuff: metal and plastic pipe, rain gutter sections, lodge poles, and (oh yeah) longer lengths of steel.
