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.

I think he said about 4 hours to a tooth. Sorry to ramble on but your story made me think of these stories.
