Soo... I like shiny things. Shiny BRASS things, particularly.
I busted out the Brasso yesterday & shined up a few things that I just can't seem to bring myself to throw into the brass bucket.

Post up your favorite unscrappables...
Well I can't post pics from my dumbphone but I've got a whole shop full of unscrappables. Just to name a few: 6 lawnmowers 3 weedeaters a chainsaw a gas dryer a pressure washer and a huge aluminum box. That's just the big stuff. Totes full of things I tell myself I might need one day. Got a neat brass lintel for my front door
WHOA NELLY!!!

Made this saaah-weet find this week. At first I thought it was some sort of altar for some Eastern religion or another. Turns out it's actually an inkwell for calligraphy & such.
10.5 pounds of beautiful brass that will NOT be headed to the scrapyard. I found the same thing on an auction site, sold for $150! :p 010204: MAITLAND-SMITH GILDED BRONZE INKWELL, L 20" : Lot 10204
Nice!
The statue is bad ass to!
Wait, we're not talking about the $2 bill? ;)
Nice find my friend.

Only brass I seem to get is from when I get done shooting :D
I put a couple of old brass vases into my Brass sack.
Now, every time I throw a brass screw or nut into it.
It goes "Ka Ching"
"Ka ching. Ka ching. Ka ching Ka Ching"
