Run adds on craigslist. whatch craigs list. those i got where actually fork lift extentions that someone had kept after they got rid of there fork lift. $50 for both and they where 8ft a piece.

Most of the flat i have been using was collected over they last 6 months. Didnt pay a dime for it. I am cheap and use my metal very stratigically. and keep evey bit of scrap for gusetry and hooo haa
