Thoughts and prayers from Bermuda mate, fight back! Don't know if you need anything, but let me know if there is anything I can do.
Welcome from Bermuda.
Take the time and read the old forums in the archives, you will learn more by spending the time reading. Than waiting a reply to general questions. Happy hunting!
Will do, be more than happy.
I guess some "like me" don't post much, we come, we learn and then off we go to make it happen. It's pouring at the moment, winter is always the wettest months in the Islands, so not much can be done...
There are a couple ways you can do it, I know the issue of "Taking things for free makes other people think you are up to something...etc"
And then there is the catch of being paid for stuff or...
5gal bucket of #2 copper cut down (I have to to maximize shipping) is about 48-55lbs
takes about 10 -11 buckets to fill a 50gal drum. So I get about 525-550lbs per 50 gal drum. (Ball parking).
Awesome job man!
Knowledge is the most important tool.
The other four will be dictated by it.
Always pay off debt as soon as you can, there is nothing worse than accumulated interest earning debt. And never use a credit card unless you know you can pay it off in time before you incur charges.
Ask before taking. In a world where so many take liberties with other people's possessions, it's refreshing to be asked permission. You never know, this could be the start of a collection point.

Welcome, from Bermuda
"Did you know, that 25% of women in America are on some form of Mental health medication?
But it what's really scary, is the other 75% running around un-medicated!"
Wife never finds that one...
I'm a service manager at a Yamaha outboard dealership in Bermuda, and I'm about to turn 30 next year and all I think about is scrap. Not because of the money, but because I enjoy it! I don't mind...
Does anyone know if the primers always have to be knocked out? Was thinking of hitting up my old regiment for there casings, but I'm not going to sit and tap out 10 50gal drums of spent casings....
Just wanted to say Happy New Years to all.
I routinely sneak on and dive into the knowledge buried in the archives, (k maybe no sneaking and no diving except into dumpsters) and just want to thank...
Thought about it, I just need allot of space, and I would probably have to go full time scrapper.... They generate allot of waste, tonnage, and it would be a full time job breaking it down.
So, as many of you know, I live in Bermuda, where property is expensive and scarce, time is money, and money is mandatory....
I get about 90% of my scrap from one place, (scrap is so scarce on a...
You guys kill me.......HAH!
I haven't posted here in a while, and it's kind like "what's the point" type in my questions main characters "tin wire" click search and read.... Read.... Read some...
I'm actually looking for the Silver lining on this one..... If scrap prices fall, my already limited amount of scrap from picking should increase.
the low prices will turn many if not all wannabes...
I have enough space to horde up about 12000lbs of copper #2, about 1500lbs so far, so, I will just keep hoarding, and hope by the time I run out of space I have enough other material to ship and...
Fellas, I've eaten some pretty rough stuff from being in the ranks, think the worst i ate was a RP About 10-15 years old. Tasted exactly the same as a brand new one......
Some solid points on here,...
Nah, crane truck and forklift mate. :cool:
6 ft 160lbs, I'm 28, and have been active all of my life, I do not believe in skipping meals and go with the 6 small meals a day, that can be anything from a banana and yogurt to a slice of whole...
I always look at cost of tools used, electricity, saw blades, grinder wheels etc as a gauge when breaking down scrap, of course everything here in Bermuda is more expensive, so if I have to burn up a...
I tried to catch the fog today.... I mist....
