I don't know who to blame - Covid or the dims...

I have a brother-in-law up in the Panhandle that goes around looking for old implements and attending farm auctions and such to pick up lots of metal. He cuts it all up and hauls it 125 miles to Amarillo, TX to sell. He was telling me about a month ago that unless he can get a really heavy trailer load of metal, it almost isn't worth driving to sell it. And, I'm talking about a heavy gooseneck trailer that may be roughly 30 to 35 feet long.

Wonder how heavy or light 9mm aluminum bullets would be. Could be an idea for the smelting thing. Could even make alloys for it just to stay occupied.

Build a charcoal mini foundry and melt them cans into pucks with a muffin tin. All the stuff you need is available at Home Depot, and it's a heck of a good time watching a 33 gallon bag of cans become a dozen pieces of aluminum

I'll second that.
My son and I did that a couple years ago. It's a blast.
