Utter Torture!

[SlippShodd]

Loaned my back and my truck for a scrap hauling mission today. When we pulled into the recycle yard, this is what greeted me:
9714397146
It's soft, there's a lot of it, and no amount of cajoling would get them to turn loose of even one of those ingots. >sigh< They have a no public sales policy and that's just wrong! One guy tried to convince me it was aluminum. I sent him away with a withering look. Someone there that actually had been to the clue store recently told me it came from the nearby Weyerhaeuser plant, where they used to build laminated architectural beams. Anybody got an idea of what the .... they used nearly 100 pound ingots of lead for in producing a beam?
I gotta go by that old plant site and see if they missed any...

:-( Sigh

Clamping the laminate while the glue dried maybe?

Needs to be made into something useful; paper punches and meat harvesters in many different calibers.

I expected to see something about bovines..................

Foundry pigs. I doubt they just used it for paper weights. More than likely used clamps for that. Typical case of everybody wanting to be the one that know but don't really have a clue.

maybe ballast weight for cranes used to move beams around

I'm not sure either, but wouldn't it be nice to have a skid of that at home!

Wow! Tough night? It was a blind guess. That's why there was a question mark and not a period at the end of the sentence.
