Fays metals in Acton is closing down in a week or so. Bob and Dave are both retiring, and they haven't found anyone who wants to take the business on.
Their prices will drop over the next few days, and I think they might be open to offers. Apart from the racked long and sheet stock, they have a rack for larger offcuts, and some shelves for smaller offcuts.
I was given the nod to help myself from the shelves, and this lot has been sitting in the back of my car all week while I find somewhere to put it all. From left to right, stainless, brass, ally and mixed bright and black steel.
I intend to sneak back and hover near the rack of larger offcuts with a couple of bottles of wine as retirement presents sometime soon. I should also take some photos to preserve a little history. I'm sad - for twenty years they've let me rummage around for what I want. They were fairly old-school though - not too easy to pin them down on what you were getting, other than adjectives like free-cutting or black - but I always seemed to get what I needed.
