One job there was a whole drum of 35mm armoured that got damaged due to it falling down a liftshaft (long story) I was an apprentice and myself and the others got to spend all day chopping it all up and stripping it collectively it came to a lot of dosh though there was over 200 sparks on the job it still came to a fair bit each, although we apprentices probably got the smallest share even though we did all the work
