Been pretty slow in my neck of the woods as most of the construction jobs have been finished. In an effort to find something to scrap, I was looking around the many "illegal landfills" where people just dump old concrete rubble. These areas are picked pretty clean but I did start noticing a large amount of rebar sticking out of chunks of old curbing and other stuff.

Now, I've had this vintage 16 lb rock breaking hammer for years and most of the debris is pretty thin so I took it to the dumps and discovered with a single whack most of the time I could shatter the old concrete. It took no time to fill up the truck with rebar, which if I cut in 3' sections is #1 prep.



This is more exercise than I usually use to find scrap but I probably need it. Mind you, I'm not going to work on anything thick or large for this but if you got curbing, it shatters off the rebar real easy.
