Welded metal bed frame.

Over the years i ve had several bed frames angle iron given to me to use in projects. I intentionally designed the side pieces one and a half inches too long so that the side piece will protrude from the rectangle on the left front and the right rear corner of the table top.

Yep that and certain grades of rebar that don t weld well. I had to peel a bunch of bed frame off a semitrailer that was being used as pallet stops really brittle and springy when you could grab it with a big adjustable wrench it snapped of the welds clean. As a hobby welder i use metal from whatever source. I defy anyone to tell where i got it.

In my quest to find new and different sources of cheap steel to weld on i came across some steel bed frames the local goodwill store. Is there something unique to the material that makes it unsuitable for fabrication or something other than bed frames. It s hard to cut or drill and it doesn t seem to weld worth a flip either.
