I've lurked long enough.

I've lurked long enough and figured it was time to introduce myself. About six month ago I began searching the web for answers to the proper way to scrap metals and came across this forum. I've search and read almost all the threads and found a wealth of information for which I wanted to thank all of you.

My name is Jim and I am an avid woodworker. This past summer I purchased some ajoining property which has many tons of old farm machinery amoung the trees and been spending my spare time cleaning up the property and have found scrapping to be both enjoyable and profitable.

So that's my intro, no questions, just a big thank you! :cool:

Jim

Welcome Rusty,

I enjoy woodworking as well. have you came across the woodwhisperer yet? He might be too basic for you, but for me it is a great information source.

have a good one,

Welcome Jim. Thanks for the intro and taking the time to do some research. I bet sifting through all that old stuff was like a hands on history lesson and was very cool. Then to be able to make some cash just makes it win-win. Looking forward to hearing about the experience.

Thanks for the welcome. Yes it was/is interesting going thru the old machinery. It is certainly a work in progress as the trees started growing everywhere. I have taken quite a few pictures this summer and will share some of them when I have enough posts to gain pix posting permission.

Thanks again.

Welcome to the forum.. Was a lurker myself for quite awhile. Still am... Was originally from Rice Lake, Any place close to you?
I read the forum everyday I can, and your right it has a wealth of information. Sometimes you can't find the answer to a question you have, but if you look long enough, it is there.

Thanks MelRay.

I'm about an hour south east of Rice Lake. That's some beautiful country up there.

Welcome to the forum Jim.

You can't post pics? That's not supposed to happen :/

Seeing if I can fix that now.

Wasn't me, must have been that other admin's fault ;)

Edit - You should be able to post images now.

Let's try some pixs

Combine with trees growing out of it:

Been there / done that and sometimes ya just torch on either side of the tree and leave some seed to see if it'll grow another combine. :)

:-o That's pretty cool!

Thanks, I dug up another picture from that job.
