by the way Kris Kringle your post completely eliminated the need for this forum (kidding) i did save it to my computer. i scrolled down a little bit and did read a section about separating metals into bins seemed interesting.

1. collect metal

2. beat metal into sharp, pointy bits

3. hurl metal at the enemy
