Wow 50 lbs. That is quite a day. do you recover the butts? I am sure you do. My brother and I cleaned the scrap out of a local welders shop back when I was in high school. Lous shop was far from tidy but he unfailingly put every butt in metal 5 gallon pails that were placed throughout the shop. When we loaded the truck that day we had more than two rows of pails down the length of a 16 foot rack. Those suckers sure weigh up. Local welder more recently was known for doing repairs to those tower cranes used on construction sites. The rotating assembly uses a ring gear/pinion arrangement to swing the working part of the crane. On occasion they will break a tooth and the crane becomes quite useless. Paul would somehow climb those things and pull cable to build a tooth. Run a bead, chip, run a bead, chip. Repeat until you had enough metal and then grind to shape. I think he said about 4 hours to a tooth. Sorry to ramble on but your story made me think of these stories.
