I just retired and I'm 67. I never smoked anything before or during work . I now have more time for my scrapping hobby.

Good deal. I never tried the gummies and only smoke a hit or 2 at a time.

I don't smoke much at a time . I scrap as a hobby so I don't consider it work . :)

Legal here in Mo. and I hit my one-hitter occasionally while I'm back in my shop doing some scrapping . I'm retiring and I have been scrapping as a hobby for close to 50 years.

I've noticed there are a variety of types of scrappers here. That's good because I can learn a few things and think the professional scrapper/ businessman needs the hobby scrapper as well as the...

Probably lower regulations in the U.S. so more goods would be produced here . That would keep some goods from being produced in places like China where more pollution occurs. If manufacturing really...

Thanks. My yard buys Bare Bright, #1 and #2 . I noticed they have a sign now that says tarnished copper will be bought as # 2. I also called another yard and they said tarnished copper is #2 . I...

My scrapyard now says if copper is tarnished it's # 2 whereas it used to be #1 when meeting size requirements. I've always received # 1 price for copper that was thicker than a pencil lead, as a...

I agree with what some have said here. I use a sawzall and cut the ends off from behind the steel plate. If a long flange is in the way I may cut on the outside of the steel plate . A short end...

I do keep my shred in a pile outside that I can cover up with a tarp. Smaller stuff in 5 gal buckets and milk crates. Truck works good if I am planning on taking to yard in a few weeks as I can...

The ends can be brass or copper . I leave them on when selling as insulated wire. I also leave small switches or parts of switches on the wires . As long as there isn't any ferrous metal showing it...

Looks good. I clean everything using hand tools as I find it is usually easier to just take it apart the way it was put together . I have a 99 Dodge truck with a tall camper shell on it that I can...

Sawzall or similar works great. I just cut the ends off of about 200 pounds of coils and blade still looks good. I always cut on the inside of the end plate if possible. Then I pop the copper loops...

Go over scale . Drop off ferrous. Go back over scale . Get paid for ferrous . Leave.
Drive around block . Go in and sell non-ferrous .

Thanks. You did alright.

Thanks for letting me know. I am not in need of any but would consider if you were closer. I've seen that back window go very cheap on e-bay recently but it was a pick-up only deal. I've also seen...

That is a 65 barracuda. I have 7 1956/1966 barracudas. 6 of mine have the factory Hi-po engine option labeled Commando 273. . That is the biggest engine offered in these cars. It is a 273 with 4 bbl,...

I am new here myself. I hope to find out if there is a way a person can recover the freon in things like your dehumidifier themselves.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm sure there is a lot I can learn. I have been scrapping since I was about 5 years old as I helped my dad. I know a lot of the old school stuff but I am looking forward to...

I live in Farmington Mo. I am 60 years old and I have been scrapping as a hobby for many years. I'm looking forward to retiring from my business ( self-employed painter ) and spending more time...
