    BIAWC New to forum from Dayton Ohio

    I am retired state worker and am looking to increase my income (spending money). I work part time as a finish carpenter but would like to fill in the remainder of my time by scrapping. I have no idea how to start, well little idea how to start. I have a Ford F150 8 ft. bed so I do have something to haul scrap in as a start please help with any advise, experience. Thanks

    To get started: Find some metal. Haul it to the scrap yard and sell it. Your education will have started. Come back here and start reading old threads. Yes, I'm serious. Someone new emailed me a couple days ago with the same question. I didn't answer but if that person is still around, my advise is the same.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
