I realize this is a woodworking community so don’t kill me, but I’m in the process of upgrading my tablesaw with a new fence so it’s somewhat related. Plus there’s no metalworking community that I could find on Lemmy....
Calling me a metalworker would be an insult to real metalworkers everywhere. That said, depending on the size of the piece of steel, it’s probably not worth your time to fill in then grind flat when local big box hardware stores sell common sizes of “welding steel” for relatively cheap and as the other poster wrote, McMaster-Carr has just about any size piece of angle you can think of.

The British were sent some M1 Garand rifles for testing to see if it was something they were interested in acquiring to replace or supplement their Enfield rifles. In their official reports they occasionally refer to the M1 as the “YSL” or “Yankee Self Loader” and that seemed like the perfect fit
I do this for a few things, movies in particular. For me most recently, I’m planning on watching Bo Burnham’s Inside this weekend, for the first time since I watched it shortly post-release.

I realize that they’ve been doing this for nigh on twenty years but I would be happy if they put out a podcast where it’s the three of them just chatting for an hour once or twice a month. They obviously don’t owe us anything but damn they just have great chemistry
