Artist Brian Mock of @brianmockart builds life-sized animals out of #recycled #metal—nuts, bolts, gears, and more. Every piece welded into bears, dogs, lions, and owls with uncanny detail and serious presence.⠀
⠀
A reminder that scrap has more potential than people thinl! Sure we can remelt it to be reused. But it can also become something no one saw coming.⠀
⠀
We’re fans.⠀

It’s Monday! Meet Dylan.
Sure, he wishes Cleveland had Atlanta’s music scene—but not many people take to sorting #metal like Dylan does. Maybe it’s growing up with seven siblings that taught him to keep things straight. Or maybe his cousin, #ScrapMetal maven Ken Henderson, is showing him the ropes. Either way, we’re glad he’s part of the Federal Family.

Tim Crockett doesn’t mess around!
That’s a 21-pound King Salmon he pulled out of Lake Ontario. The fish is massive—but Tim’s smile might be even bigger! Fish stories don’t get better than this.

Did You Know?⠀
⠀
The U.S. nickel coin is actually made of 75% #copper. The dime, quarter, and half dollar coins at 91.67% copper, contain even more!⠀
⠀
And the copper penny? It`s actually only 2.5% copper. I guess looks CAN be deceiving!

Chris Greenfield is in Washington, D.C. this week for the 2025 @americanfoundrysociety Government Affairs Fly-In.⠀
⠀
He’ll be joining other #foundry leaders from across the country to speak directly with lawmakers about the issues that matter most: strengthening raw material supply chains, a push for infrastructure investment where it matters (like the distribution of potable water), and advocating for smarter, more effective regulatory reform.⠀
⠀
Proud to have Federal Metal represented in these important conversations!⠀

It’s Monday! Meet Chandler.⠀
⠀
Chandler Ramsey doesn’t say much—but when he does, you’ll want to listen. Since joining FedMet Arkansas last summer, he’s been keeping our shipping and receiving on track and quietly making things run smoothly behind the scenes of our Talk2Us app. A music fan, self-proclaimed tech geek, and someone who values time with family and friends, Chandler’s been settling into life around Little Rock—and we’re glad he’s here.

Metal. Metal. Metal. Metal. Metal. Metal.
It`s take alot of #metal to feed this operation. More than a million pounds a week, and pretty much all of it is #recycled.

Chemistry Quiz Time! 🧪⠀
⠀
You place a #copper wire into a solution of silver nitrate, and a reaction begins almost immediately. What visible change would you expect to see on the copper wire—and what type of chemical reaction is taking place between the two substances?
