BEFORE: We’ve taken in a lot of used and surplus heavy, large-diameter cable, including 7/8″ and 1″ diameters sourced from the crane and lifting industries.
AFTER: “We are creating a perimeter boundary on our farm to keep trespassers out. The Steel Cable Wire will be fed through metal posts that we have installed every 24 ft. We have a total of 2,400 feet from the East and West gates to secure. Trespassers do a lot of illegal dumping on our property. Hopefully, this prevents them from accessing.” – Pam in California

BEFORE: A major change order on a new construction data center project led to 17,000′ (3 1/2 miles) being in surplus. We took in several truckloads of unused, still-in-the-crate Fiberglass Conduit. Don’t miss out on this one!
INBOX: “I don’t know any of the contractors working there but they are building another terminal at JFK Airport in New York. You could check that out as a possible outlet for your Fiberglass Electrical Conduit.” – Bill in Staten Island, NY.

INTERESTING“repurpose”: A customer grabbed our Heavy Canvas Sheets to protect their workspace while staining Intarsia woodwork, a style of woodworking that creates raised, almost 3D designs using different pieces of wood. The canvas handled the messy part while the details came together. Thank you for your purchase, David!

Rubber Smiles: Our customer, Bill Starcher, who is now retired and spends his time making rubber sculptures “just for a smile,” recently stopped in and shared some of his incredible work. Most of his creations come together using scraps, found objects, and salvaged materials — like the bull horns made from a “repurposed” pool ladder! His creativity and joy for “repurposing” prove that with a little imagination, almost anything can be turned into art.
Check out his Facebook page for MORE creations!

Your Ideas: “I think your Steel H-Beams would work for making cattleguards to keep cows off the roads. You should try to sell these to cattleguard manufacturers. They use all kinds of steel to make these guards…eg: railroad rail, oilfield pipe, etc. Real ‘repurposing’!” – Andrew in New Mexico

NEAT “repurpose”: “Last October a bear ripped apart my electric fence and destroyed two of my Langstroth hives. I started researching how bees live in the wild and decided to build two long horizontal hives on the second floor of my garage with a small opening to the outside so they can come and go without drawing attention. When I need to check frames or harvest honey, I’m planning to use one of your rectangular Parachutes to help contain the bees and keep things safer while I work.” – Theresa in New Hampshire

Well, put it this way, if we were a newspaper, we’d have more subscribers to our newsletter than subscribe to the Times-Union in Jacksonville, FL or the Register in Des Moines, IA or the News in Birmingham, AL to name just a few! We have the New York Times in our sites…LOL!
