The copper wire is from old appliances that I'm throwing out. I'm trying to find a more efficient way of stripping the coating from the wires.

People who make a living of sorts by stealing copper cable from railways etc. burn off the insulation. Scrappies mustn't mind if it's a bit sooty because it all gets melted down anyway.

Lead is another one, my Step Dad is a roofer and has always kept any small pieces of lead as well as collecting stuff on any jobs he does. He goes once a year, I think the price of lead must be quite good as he got £150 last time.

I was in our local museum the other week and they had a display of sculpture made out of old tin cans, perhaps you could learn to be an artist, i think you'll do a lot better than scrap value.
