Make a suit of armour! Use the rings for chain links and make a mail shirt to match!

Odd I thought recycling services were common in pretty much all developed countries.

I guess I was wrong.

I could just get them recycled, I just wouldn't get any money for it. I'd just rather make something of them than give them away for nothing.

Thermite would indeed be nice, I'd just need to find magnesium to ignite it.
All you'd need is a sparkler(a type of firework, easily obtainable in the US 'round 4th of July). Of course, igniting the sparkler and not blowing your flesh off when the sparkler ignites the thermite would be the tricky part.

Throw it and run man, throw it and run. Actually, isn't thermite controllable enough to light and get away from without, you know, dying?

Thermite is not an explosive.
There is no blast wave.
Just lots of sparks and embers and heat.
Also, don't look at it without shielding.
Actually there is a chance for explosion but only if it hits a air pocket and if you're stupid to throw water on it >_>

or put it on ice. Which, technically, is water.

Here's the first project with the cans, and also my first training project with pop-rivets:

Aluminum would be too soft for plate mail, plus I'm already doing a steel ringmail. Now that I wrangled my computer and camera together, here's that too:

And a small joke I just had to do:

Become a superhero who fights crime with aluminum cans! "Time to take out the recycling!"

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

Fixed.

 And on a more serious note, make little aluminum men. You know, junk statues.

There was a time when cocksuits would have offended me. It's kind of bad that the time has passed.

They don't have salvage yards where you are from where you can sell large amounts of cans for some money?

You need to make said elf leather into the most amazing work of art.  Embed it with every kind of gem you have, stud it with metals, and sew images into it.  Erect a shrine outside your fort with that in the center.  Let the elves know that you view their very skin as naught more but a medium for your dwarves to work on.

Very small amount of money, not really worth it. I'd rather be a recycling superhero instead.
