General
There is a lot of metalworking that can be done in an apartment. At the very least, re-shape a pop can or a soup can into something useful.
The
PEA version of metalworking is focused heavily on working with sheet metal, filing, sandpaper, and small solder tasks. It makes use of soda, soup, and
coffee cans, as well as sheet metals, wires, and other purchased materials. Just because blacksmithing or major welding are off of the table, doesn’t mean you can’t improve your metalworking repertoire.
