Did you get the Red Box machine ?
I helped my dad do some scrapping when I was a kid so I guess I'm practicing my childhood dream. I collected the copper when it was 40 cents a pound, aluminum was 7 cents and die cast was 4 . A lot...
Sounds a lot like me in many regards. I don't have that many cars and am selling off a few 1965 and 1966 barracudas that I collected.
I have piles of scrap that I'm cleaning on that collected the...
If you got the room, just go get it while the getting is good and then figure out what you want to do with it .
Sounds like a good plan. I just recently retired and have been scrapping out stuff I collected for years . Stockpiled in case I ever needed the money but fortunately I never did. I collected it so...
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...
