What did you do with your old rotors

I did the big brake upgrade now i have used rotors. I tried selling them on eBay, really just trying to give them away there. Not trying to throw them away. Any suggestions?

They are good to use for welding practice. I know an old welding shop teacher that would tech his students stick welding by welding old brake rotors together. Good heavy metal and easy to lay a bead on without burning through.

Left rear holds down the newspapers, right rear handles the cardboard. Makes the recycling piles easier to manage.
