Description:
This mod allows you to melt into ingots and disassemble almost all game armor and weapons into strips of leather.

Detailed description:
Weapons and armor can be melted in a smelter.
Things from the skin can be disassembled into strips of leather on the tanning machine.
You can melt the Dwemer scrap metal, the hound of death collars.
Candlestick and silver candlestick can be melted into silver bars.
You can melt silver and gold rings.
You can disassemble and melt the armor and weapons of rogue, Falmer, vampire, guardians of the dawn, gangsters.
There is no possibility to melt the nominal weapon, for example (iron dagger of coal)
If you enchanted a weapon or armor and did not rename it, then be careful, as it can also be melted down and taken apart.
Wear armor and equipped weapon can not be melted down or disassembled.
There is no possibility to melt cups, mugs, plates, jugs, etc.
The number of items obtained from remelting is 2-3 times less than that spent.
What is different from other similar mods? Not so much player-friendly, selling an item is more profitable than melting it down and taking it apart.
Recipes will not appear until you have an item in your inventory, thereby not capturing the list of recipes in the smelter (tanner)
The archive also has a version for Skyrim without DLC.
Update 1. 1 (alloys):
Now it is possible to smelt better quality ingots from lower quality ones.
