Boredom strikes.
Did you say several TONS of aluminum scrap?? Nice!!
We live about 15 minutes from a MASSIVE aluminum company called Logan Aluminum, last I heard they provide all the aluminum sheeting that is used in pop/beer cans in the US. They haul ingots in there by semi and train. Those ingots are huge. Probably 3x5x20 or something like that. I'd love to have just one. Lol
Just the other day I thought instead of hauling crushed cans and other aluminum scrap into the scrap yard I might start melting it down into small ingots and stack em up somewhere until scrap is high again.
*EDIT* I just watched the production video on Logan Aluminum's website and they provide 40% of the materials for beverage cans, but they are the largest producer in the US
