Be nice to your vendors LOL...I mentioned to one of our steel fabricators that I would be interested in raiding their scrap bin if possible, and this pail of cut offs was dropped off today. Not sure if you can see it, but the flat bar is 01 tool steel. I guess I can finally make that pelter...
Just happy to be here.

Turtledale, I agree. I always feel like I'm walking a fine line between being a mooch or simply a guy who can spot an opportunity. I will be buying those guys a beer or coffee for this (their choice) because I think it is important not just to be grateful for such things, but to show it as well.
I find that most people don't mind if you ask, and make it clear that it's OK if the answer is just "no, sorry" with no further explanation required. It is also helpful that I am generally asking for things that fabricators and subcontractors consider to be scrap or off-cuts. I have gotten several items this way... Large diameter green PVC, plywood scraps, IBC container, etc.
Just happy to be here.
