Bit of a pleasant surprise

Yeah I know, sick of hearing about cleaning shop...

Anyway, I made hopefully the last run to the dump for a while.  Also visited the scrap yard and got a decent amount of cash for the steel.  I was surprised to find that they deal a lot in copper and brass scrap.  I asked and they do sell it.  The reason this is important to me is that one of the last things I would like to do for the clock is to cast my own bell for it.  So I now have a local supplier of other raw material if I need it.  This was a surprise because the location used to deal with just autos and steel but it has switched over to being a true metal scrap yard.  Woot!

Its kindda sad the things blacksmiths get excited about.

No, those are things WORTH getting excited about. Too bad I'm not in Florida to pick up that post vise...
