    Dude, just read the old threads. Pick a topic you're interested and search for those terms. Pretty much the hue and cry on here is do your own homework, nobody is going to spoonfeed it to you.

    All that being said, welcome to the forum!

    It's pretty simple go out and find some scrap metal and sell it to a local scrap yard but keep in mind that scrap metal prices are down a whole lot last year this time I was getting $13 per 100lbs now I'm only getting $9 per 100lbs so if you survive now then you will survive in the long run.
