You do realize that there is more than one kind of slag?

You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense.

Yes, and why stop there? If you have pine trees, you have rosin.

You already have copper which you can use as a soldering device and lead from the slag. Use the pine tree you cut down (for the rosin) to make a fire to heat the copper soldering tip. Dab the work with the pine rosin, heat the work with the copper tip, and apply the lead.

Simple. Send me one of those millions of dollars.
