I suppose I probably have about a jam jar full of scrap bits with a couple of lumps that I have tried to melt unsuccessfully to make a bangle as suggested the last time I asked. There is a company called Birmingham Silver Co. that I wondered if they would take it from me but not sure if they take little bits, like offcuts. I try to use my little bits to make the back of tube settings etc, and have made quite a few balls, but there is a limit as to how many balls you can have. I work from my spare bedroom so cant really do anything too "risky".
