Awesome info Hobo, thats the best...

Make sure it is well secured to the ground if it gets windy at times in your location. Add extra ropes and peg it down well all around the perimeter.
On a windy day, the pressure on the top of it...

Older tableware and cutlery are made from a copper/nickel/zinc alloy, commonly called German silver or nickel silver (among other names) (I am discounting stainless cutlery here)

The nickel in...

On GRF, a couple of people used this crowd and had the diminishing results as mentioned by BC above (a couple of years ago now). First shipment was great, second shipment drastically down on the...

I am going with SSA's 200 lbs. If it is scrap then flip it, end on end onto the deck, no need to treat it nice.

If it runs, then I suggest doing a wheelie up a piece of 4x2 up onto the deck, no...

Tell him to sit in the tray while you test it then.

A furnace for small quantities of Aluminium, can be as easy as the pail and charcoal furnace mentioned above. The key to getting to meting temps quickly is having a blower of some sort to inject air...

I believe that lead will be phased out by regulators as much as possible in the future.
Lead has a reputation of "hurting our environment" when lost in the soil and waterways.
It has been the...

I run a tab with my yard and buy all the precious metal bearing stuff I can with any credit. Everything is reinvested to get high grade scrap.

It's a kind of mechanical alchemy, turning low grade...

Thought so, the EU has quite strict policies on recycling and are directly involved with regulations concerning the life span of products, and their packaging.

If you stay low profile, do your...

I am so glad I don't live in your location, what country are you in ?

Over regulation at it's best from the sound of it, I am going to guess at somewhere in the EU or Japan

You need elemental tin (Sn) to make bronze. Tin cans have a very thin layer of Sn plated to the surface of light gauge steel, giving the steel an non reactive layer that stops the food going bad...

I stand corrected. I had no idea they are used by crafters and had such a following.

They are chock full of things needed and wanted by hackers, gadget modifiers and tinkerers. Precision shafts with matched bearings, toothed belt drives and pulleys, stepper motors as mentioned,...

I hope you are keeping the soda cans too, it is a myth that the tabs are any different (or worth more) than the cans themselves. Just keeping the tabs is like throwing the banana away and eating the...

Cast is the best grade for selling HD chassis to the yards, but they are actually forged in their manufacture. A hot short, slug of extruded Aluminium is sandwiched between a set of dies under...

Yes a small amount of lead has been alloyed into the majority of brass castings for over 80 years now, it makes machining the brass easier, giving smoother cuts and better tool life. This is the...

Molybdochalkos, It did exist, but was an alchemy experiment in the 10th century. It has no use in our contemporary world.
Greek alchemists were really good at poisoning themselves in their attempts...

"Got soaked in the rain" . Will still be good for recovery of base and precious metals, but will add a risk to buyers who might want to refurbish and resell them for profit. I think completely...

Bending the HD platters all out of shape will help to make data un-recoverable.
They are coated Aluminium, and Ali doesn't like being bent backwards and forwards. Putting one in a bench vice, and...

I will add 4 -6 more to Happys total, the power input socket sometimes has 2, the 110/220 volt switch has 2, and sometimes supplys have an extra output socket than can have 2 in them.
My total would...

If we got a dollar each, for how many times that question has been asked before an OP's 4th post, we could give up buying towers and servers, and retire in Bali. mmmmmmmmmmmmm Bali

Thats an Awesome vid BC, I have seen it over at GRF.
It has some great info, but also a number of serious safety issues going on too.

1) Please, if you are going to try this, invest in some...
