@@RudolphWhite-q5f I wouldn’t call it trash.

👍🏼

Hey thanks a bunch! 🙂🍻

@@paulorrick5721 thanks for the info!

@@patrickwilliams4613 thanks a bunch, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 👊🏼🍻🙂

@@Justaguyinthecornerofthescreen it wont ever become .999 due to the impurities in the crucible. The closest I got was 99.21% pure when I had my scrapyard zap the bars. The only thing I can recommend is using a bit of borax to help separate the impurities from the metal and scoop it out prior to pouring.

@ okay, would you say with good practice you could achieve .98 consistently? Considering melting but as a perfectionist I will shoot for highest purity for resale value

@ absolutey you can consistently get that result. Just be sure to never ever melt anything but copper in that crucible. Other metals will cross contaminate like if you melted brass or aluminum in that crucible that you plan on using to melt copper. I always bought different crucibles for different metals.

Personally when I strip wire, I prefer to keep it the original length rather than multiple smaller pieces. But there is really no wrong way to strip wire 🙂

@@Scrap2Cast Depends on how long they were to start with. I'll cut them down to an average length of 4 ft or so. At those lengths its also easier to pull them through my fabricated wire stripper.

Thanks a bunch, I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching it! 🙂🍻👊🏼

@@usmanlyfe3921 Thanks a bunch! Definitely a handy trick I like to keep in my back pocket for those rainy wire stripping days. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂🍻

@@Jedibrickboy Unfortunately I do not as I scrapped this particular model out about 3 years ago. What kind of parts are you looking for?

@@Scrap2Cast do you happen to know it's model number or and other info?

@@Jedibrickboy Yup you are in luck! I just checked some of the raw video footage prior to editing. It is a Sharp R-3A55 microwave manufactured in 1994. I'll even go a step further and provide you a link to the service manual to that actual microwave. www.manualslib.com/products/Sharp-R-3a55-3262018.html Hope you find the parts you are looking for 🙂

Awesome, hopefully you get a bunch of copper as well!

Thank you so much! 🙂🍻

You can find it on Amazon, just do a search for “automatic wire stripping machine” I think they are going for $150 USD

It’s a good stripping machine

Hey brother! Life is busy but good! Hoping to get back to making videos soon! 🍻🙂👊🏼

@@Scrap2Cast busy is good my friend. Glad to hear, one more week and then off off to the deer woods for a 9 days can’t wait. 👊🏻☮👍👍

@ heck yeah bro. Hope you get a big one!

Oh it’s definitely hard to work with!

🤣 Eyesight is overrated anyways 😜

@@RobertSmith-xf6fh nope you can fill the crucible cold and heat it up with materials already inside.

@@jimd1968 thanks so much! Like you, I also love brass! One of my favorite metals to micro-scrap for. Those plugs really do add up after awhile and so do the pins from them 😁

@@Scrap2Cast I used to collect belt buckles when I was a kid and I always went for the brass buckles. Brass reminds me of gold and I have been always been a fan of Brass. So keep those videos coming and maybe sell some of your bars.

@@jimd1968 funny you mention that, I have a belt buckle and knuckles vids on the channel 😁. I did actually sell off the bars a little over a year ago, but I’ll be making more in the near future!

@@Scrap2Cast Ewwwh I must look

@@Scrap2Cast I am a new sub, and looking forward to your work.

@@TheHobbyistT I highly recommend melting outside and wearing a respirator. As a locksmith, I can confirm that keys do have lead in them. Melt the keys on a low furnace setting, it will eliminate some (not all) of the white smoke. Scoop out the slag as it melts down. Repeat the process a few times during the melt to get the brass nice and clean. I have a few other melting vids on my channel in regards to melting down keys. Check em out if you have a chance. 🙂

@@Scrap2Cast Thank you for the information! Luckily I do all my melting outside, I will definitely need to pick up a respirator. I fully intend on watching as many of your videos as possible!! 😁

@@TheHobbyistT you’re welcome bud and thanks for your support!

Whats up?

@@Jackyboy13 I usually start off at 0.8 sometimes lower.

@@Scrap2Castthanks

Thanks a bunch! Sadly my boss said I can’t melt at work anymore but hoping to find a new spot in the near future!

@@skibro1965 thank you!!!

Just melt on a low furnace setting. When you see white smoke, its heated up to much. The white smoke is zinc oxide and very hazardous to breathe in. Be sure to use a proper ventilator

You can purchase it on Amazon.

@@ivanbustamante6011 thanks!! 👊🏼👍🏼

@@eddiemuise4791 it honestly depends on what it is constructed of and if the motor windings are copper versus aluminum. You can buy a power cable for it on amazon. Just confirm the voltage before purchase.

@@reddemmamudirini7332 never too late to comment! I bought it off Amazon. Just do a search for “automatic wire stripping machine” and a whole bunch of vendors that sell that model will pop up. Its sold by many diff vendors who slap their own brand / model # on it but I assure you they are all the same. Used mine for over 4 years now and it still works great 🙂

@@Scrap2Cast thanks 👍 will check it out

Yes, I always preheat my molds. It fell right out of the mold with ease.

Wondering if i could make a cymbal out of it😊

Absolutely! I’ve casted thin bars before and depending on thickness, they have their own unique tone! The thinner the better in my opinion 🙂

I don’t see why not!

Residential door locks have zinc in them. The door handles are made of zinc.

Honestly I can’t for the life of me remember how I scrapped the 2nd one. I might have the raw footage still buried on my computer somewhere. I’ll give it a look this week and comment back if I find it.

Hey bro! Yup I’m still around just halted production for awhile! Been saving $$$ for a newer van and my 2nd income is taking up a bunch of my free time. Thanks for checking in! 😎👊🏼☮️

Yes they will be fine to use. The tong material will be pretty thick so it wont really melt on contact.

Lol thanks, one of my fav hats!

The unit had a pinhole in the ACR prior to me picking it up off the side of the road. All the freon was depleted before I started tearing it down.

Yup I’ll try that out for the next time 😁

Better luck next time lol

@@Sam-fp8zm you and me both!

@@Meow_Ag47 Nope just been really busy! 🤣

@@Scrap2Cast making haw while the sun shines!

I’ll get right on that….

You can sell them on eBay for a higher profit if you want to go that route. If you have a large supply of them, you can look into working directly with a foundry and see if you can unload them that way. Personally I would only melt down #2 copper and sell your #1 copper as-is.

@@Scrap2Casti melted all rotten ground wires that the scap said he would give me less then #3 and I had 50lbs of it

Awesome bro! Keep stacking that copper!

Yup that’s how I normally do it 😉

Well, that sucks…
