pure aluminum bronze. 5-10% alum %85 copper
too easy man! at least make it a challenge ; )
I watched them taer down our old football stadium and was wishing I could have all those aluminum bench seats. That stadium sat 75,000 peole.
Played a music job last night at a place where all of the interior handrails were all SS with cables for the picketts. Exterior was all metal siding and much of the skylight assemblies were AL. Good thing I didn't have my sawz-all with me !
1600 Pennsylvania Ave would be my dream scrap destination, but maybe i'll reserve my reasoning for a different forum :)
I was in the main computer control room for Reuters about 15 years ago after they had a flood. They claimed to have $100 mil invested in there and i would have loved to tear that place up!

i'm waiting for someone to throw up the statue of liberty!! lol
I dont have any pictures of some of the stuff that I want to scrap. However, whenever I am out with my step-dad we are generally working and he sees me looking at some steel, he starts laughing, cause he knows I am thinking how I would move it, process it and how much I could get out of it at the yard.
I mean, I am a dedicated scrapper. So ANY time I see something made of scrap-able material. My mind automatically starts breaking it down into it's simplest parts, even going so far as to how\when I would load it for ease at the scrap yard.
Since I don't have a picture of this, you will have to use your imagination:
The company I just went to work for used to make parts for a company overseas. The base\turret was made of brass. This single piece was 4.750" thick and 42" in diameter. I do not know how much each of them weigh. I do know this. I could not lift one by myself AND they have 8 stacks, with each stack being 12 tall. No matter what percentage I offer the owner, he won't sell them to me!!! I even offered him 85% of scrap value. He says: "No, I better not let them go, we might need them one day". Sigh, it is ULTRA FRUSTRATING. I mean, they haven't made these "turrets" in over 10 years!!!
Anyway. Happy and Safe Scrapping to you all !!!!!!!
you stole my thunder :(.Quote:

Heres our Parliament building. Its called 'The beehive' because, well, it looks like one.

The Beehive's brown roof is constructed from 20 tonnes of hand-welted and seamed copper. It has developed a naturally weathered appearance
Worlds largist gold statue 5.5 tonnes of 18k gold valued at over $250 Million.

We'll see if anyone recognizes this, makes you want to scrap the roof if it was real.

I love how everyones thinking big. However...for me...anything made of metal...not lying...I always look at something and go "wow I wonder what I could get for scrap for that"
If I could scrap just one thing?

Looking back many years, I want to scrap the old word processor that sat in my bedroom for a while. My brother brought it home from high school shop class. When we switched rooms he left it there. Two 8" drives. The CPU on the floor and keyboard/printer together weighed several hundred pounds. It was probably trashed before I had a driver's license.
I get evil thoughts every time I drive past the church down the street. I could retire on just one of those huge brass bells. :rolleyes:
