Fan grill metal ??

HigHTecHReDNecK · 30-September-05, 02:58 AM

Well , went out to the "old tool shed" today and busted out my scroll saw to make some fan grills, i dont have the metal yet but i was wondering you to find the shiny metal used to make them. I have a scrap metal yard across town where i buy diamond plate but never really noticed any sheets of the "purdy shiny" sheel steel. just wondered if they carry it at home depot or do ya order it online???

Any nice metal could be made "purdy" as long as it's straight and not all dented up. It's just a matter of sanding in small increments, then buffing it somehow.

Some aluminum with some Mother's polish is pretty nice, I think.
