Valve changed a few things in the crafting system with a recent ninja patch. For instance, one scrap metal requires only 2 weapons now. You can also fabricate the new community weapons with two specific items, like the Critcola being made out of a kritzkrieg and a bonk drink. Check TF2items’ page on crafting for more.
They also seem to have upped the weekly item cap a bit, but I can’t be certain. Hats are becoming more and more common, so maybe people will finally stop making such a huge deal about them.

Cool, A lot of people wanted scrap to require less weapons.
That means that you now need only 54 items to make a non specific hat (was 81 items before).
Love the specific item crafting.

Also, you can make a bonk helm out of a batters helm and 2 bonks, and a pain train out of scrap metal and a sandman.

And you can also “uncraft” Reclaimed/Refined Metal now.
