Kind of off topic, but: I've been trying to shred iphones and macbooks for a while now for my art. (Much like in "will it blend") I intend to work with the shredded metal/dust as a pigment. Does anyone have any pointers how to actually shred these devices?



Maybe you could shred into small chunks first and then use a ball mill with heavy and hard media. Would be very time consuming and expensive and the result would be toxic, of course.


Note to be careful with the grinding media too, as you really don't want sparking in a chamber filled with aluminum powder.


Seems dangerous..


http://willitblend.com has video of shredding pretty much every iphone model.
