Very nice score, congrats !!!
"That big steel plate, 5/8" thick by 14" diameter."
Just a thought, but if you can find a short chunk (2" to 3") of 14" diameter pipe (retired grain auger???) you could weld it to the plate and have a heck of a wood chip pan.

Hhmmm. Not a bad idea, not bad at all. There was a pile of those discs there, probably 500-600 of them. Ranged in size fom 1/2" thick by 10" diameter to 1 1/2 thick by 14". All kinds. We have a very large fabrication shop, which I use to work at, and all their drop goes there. But the really cool thing about it, is the guy who runs the shear. Hes an idiot. Hes a friend of mine, but hes still an idiot. Hes the kink of guy who does not understand the meaning of measure twice, cut once. He measures once, cuts, then realizes he cut it wrong LOL. When ever he does, my buddy calls me up and tells me, "Well, Kurt cut a whole skid wrong today" I know its time to go to the junkyard that week LOL.
