One benefit/problem with being stuck at home during this virus thing, is that I’m forced to ack the stuff around me that needs to be clean/sorted/tossed/recycled. Finally after storing things for (at times) more than 10 years, I’m going through and cleaning house (barn)
One of my latest projects involved buying a forge to do some casting projects.
So far I’ve done Lead, Aluminum, and Brass since its easy to find raw materials for that.
Aluminum cans crushed and melted. 22LR shells melted
Next we’ll do some copper. Recovered from an old load center, and some transformers from an old UPS.
