Awesome. Gonna do this. Have a bunch sitting around.
I have a couple of Coppermine wire strippers. They're manual but alot better than an utility knife. They work great for me.
...
Finally got some time to do things. Set up the wire stripping machines and going to work on all the romex first. Started assembling the trailer yesterday, should have it mostly finished today. Will...
Kinda concerned with pressure treated wood because it's corrosive, code requires galvanized or stainless fasteners and hardware in construction. Plus that $#!t is heavy, had to carry 16 foot 2x6, 2x8...
Still getting my operation organized. Have some of the many listed. Plastic coffee cans, totes, garbage cans. Love them Tidy Turd buckets with the hinged lid. CurbCo provides.
Sorry for the delay. Still have yet to assemble the trailer. Life won't wait, and the weather sucks here in the Pacific Northwet when I gotta do everything outside. Hope to get it together before the...
Love it. Got a 55# anvil myself. A rule I like to go by, until it's loaded up and heading to the yard, it is MATERIAL. It's only scrap when I got cash in hand.
I just picked up a vacuum cleaner walking home down the alley. It's a Kirby Avalir. Aluminum housing, reusable bag. Looks to be commercial grade like they use in hotels and casinos. Only problem is...
I just might do that. Don't plan on folding it anyway,and 8 footers would help with the strength of the trailer.
So planks would be more ideal than plywood for the decking? I could swing by my old jobsite, dig through the scrap pile and see what could work. Used to frame houses for rich a$$ people.
For sure gotta put a deck on it. Instructions recommend 3/4" plywood. Might use 7/8". Or 3/4" with 1/2" sacrificial sheet over that so if/when it wears out I can just replace the top sheet. I'll...
Yeah, I've read the reviews and watched the videos. Gonna be a fun puzzle. That trailer from TSC is real nice, might upgrade to one in the future. There's a TSC a couple towns up the interstate, and...
Just broke bad and bought a trailer. 1720lb rated 4x8 folding trailer from HF Tools, about $500 out the door. Now I can haul steel and iron, and the non ferrous can ride in the back of the Jeep. Hope...
Last time I took cans in it was $.15/lb. All the aluminum was that price too. Small one man yard, sells to the bigger yards. Always has better can prices than the bigger yard in the woods or the...
Neighbor across the alley often puts out scrap metal once in a while. Put a few old car parts out, starter, alternator, couple distributors, four barrrel carb, grille. Naturally I grabbed it all..

Daaaaam. You really know your stuff.
Wow, score of the year!!! I hope you don"t scrap any of that. Rick's Restoration is local to you, would love to see you on his show.
Been on a bit of a hiatus the last few years. Quit my day job last May. Scored some new wheels back in March. a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. So plush compared to all my other beaters. Got it for...
Wow, that's quite alot of info thanks. I'll look through it and compare to what I have. Not getting my hopes up though.
Smith Music Sales engraved on the instrument, and Smith Music Sales, Chicago Illinois badge on the case. Started out in the '50's. Read they outsourced manufacturing to Germany. Mouthpiece is stamped...
While these were passive finds at CurbCo, once I picked up an all steel vintage Youngstown kitchen sink and vanity. Single basin with place for drying rack to the right which drains back into the...
Part timer here, mostly cuz I've been slacking and I'm backlogged with material to tear down. I do the bike and trailer too. Haven't renewed my drivers license and tabs, registration, insurance is...
I used to have a five gallon bucket full of legos from mostly the '80's. Wish I still had it.....
LOL hope the fire marshal don't see those hahaha.
Asbestos is everywhere. In all kinds of building materials. Even in new construction. Especially chinese materials, they throw it around like MSG. Don't know how much I've been exposed to it over the...
