@@stephenchienjo3283 thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the prayer at the end! May God bless you as well.
Thank you so much!
I appreciate you watching.
New hobby scrapper here...wanted to say I appreciate you Scrapitall! I love the way you demonstrate HOW to scrap everyday items. A lot of scrappers on you tube show their hauls to the yard and or collecting...which is fine...you educate. I agree with others--for some reason I find your voice and method soothing; easy to watch. Keep 'em coming!
Wow, thank you so much for your wonderful comment, I really appreciate that.
God bless you my precious brother for your educative presentations. I also love scraping.
@@johnngige6157 thank you so much brother.
I pray that the Good Lord will bless you!
After U remove the copper would the rest of the materials amount to much towards scrap also. I just seen your video for the first time and enjoyed the info. Thanks U.XOXO 😊
@@claysmith782 yes, the steel has scrap value as well. Most yards will classify it as prepared steel.
Thank you so much for watching.
I really like the prayer at the end. Great to see someone sharing their faith in a non pushy way. Keep it going brother .
Thank you so much, I really appreciate hearing that.
Thank you for watching and God bless!
Shawn on the Bikes And Beards UA-cam channel likes to read a Bible verse in every one of his videos. I always enjoy that.
@@hornetsnestmedia never heard of that channel before, I’ll have to check it out. Thank you.
I watched to the end just for the prayer. God bless you richly brother
I found a commercial deli meat weight machine. Now i can weight what i just scraped out with current price imputed and see how much i just made. It's fun finding FREE stuff. Nice video once again!
Heck yeah it is!
Thank you for watching.
Love the way you keep trying new ways to do disassemble things! They usually have less loss of material than the quick ways.
Thank you so much. I really do enjoy trying new ways.
Thank you for watching
Awesome videos buddy. I’m a scrapper also. I do clean outs on homes and properties. That’s why I started scraping. God bless you as well.
That’s awesome! It sure is a lot of fun.
Thank you for watching and God bless you you too.
Wow thanks for posting this video.. I scrap those all the time. This is good info.. I'm tired of paying almost 10 bucks a wack for cutting wheels so this is a good way to get the copper out without cutting.. 👍👍
Machete works really well too, it’s my go to way of getting the copper out.
Thank you for watching.
Nice idea! I will try this on the next motor I scrap. Thanks for the prayer after each video too! God bless.
Awesome, hope it works well for you.
Thank you and God bless you!
I love everything about scrapping as well man. You have my respect.
So much fun!
Thank you for watching.
It seems like a good idea to have alternative methods. Thanks for sharing!!!
I completely agree!
Thank you for watching.
I always take time into consideration when scraping. It’s really easy to make a $1 an hour on a stubborn piece of scrap. You gotta know when to give up and move on to something else. I’ve done every method because every winding is different, but air chisel is best. No matter how big/small or even burnt, it’s shakes everything a part
My preferred method is cutting the stator in half with a machete then I pull the copper out.
I’ve seen air chisels used and they are great.
I have fun scrapping it all and as long as I’m enjoying myself, I’m not concerned about the amount of time something takes, but I know many do care about the time.
Thank you for watching!
That's Right, i have seen this method before across the big pond.. Nice Job Buddy 👏
Thank you my friend, thanks for stopping by and watching. It’s always appreciated.
Yep, my third video I've watched today and I like the way you do the step by step methods. Now these types I've always cut but after seeing this method, I'm gonna try it and see how it works for me. I scap when time permits and although I am retired, I still work a full-time job, so the extra cash from scrapping is worth it to me. Thank you again for sharing your time and knowledge, respect and may God bless you always.
Thank you so much for watching 3 videos today, I greatly appreciate it.
Scrapping is such a great way to earn some extra money for sure.
This method won’t work on all motors, but it’s worked on 3 different ones I’ve tried.
Thank you and God bless you too brother!
@scrapitall200 we had that bad storm here in Houston last week, so I went out to see what people were throwing away. Found many old tube tvs, flat screens, and appliances. Very good hauls this week and now to the task of taking everything apart. I'm a first-time viewer and a new subscriber, so thank you for your time.
@@jesusfelan604 I saw some footage from that storm, crazy damage.
Sounds like you scored a lot of good scrap.
I sure do appreciate you subscribing and watching.
Well you know i am heading to try this. If it don't work your in trouble. Awesome video my friend.
Just blame HH Recycling, I blame everything on him 🤣
Thank you for watching buddy!
Great video on showing a different way of recovering the copper from motors
Thank you my friend. It’s fun trying new things.
Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 your welcome and I watch all your videos 👍have a good weekend
You rock my friend.
Thank you and you too!
I wish I came across this sooner honestly. Easier, quieter, and a lot less messy. Thanks for this! You got yourself a new subscriber (:
Thank you so much!
I have found that some motors it doesn’t work on, so just keep that in mind.
That is neat!
Thank you for all your prayers and all you do. ❤
I thought so too. Thank you for watching buddy.
That was an awesome way of getting that copper out of those coils. Thanks for sharing this info with us. Stay safe my friend and may God bless you in all that you do. See you on the next video.
Thank you so much brother, I really appreciate that.
Have a wonderful week and God bless you too!
I like any practical methods that avoids cutting and appreciate this way of achieving that end and leaving cutting as a last resort where possible.
Awesome!
I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.
I don't like blades so this is a blessing to see! With any method, you have to build up speed and become more efficient. However, I didn't notice any editing, so it seems like it took you about 7.5 minutes to scrap 2 pounds of copper. That's about $24/hr. Not too shabby at all.
There was some editing, but I don’t remember how long it exactly took me. But you’re absolutely correct, with more practice it’ll get quicker and quicker.
Thank you for watching.
This is great for someone who does not have the means or the place to cut. Great job buddy😊
Exactly, you get it buddy lol. Plus it’s just fun to try new things.
Thank you for watching buddy.
To much time scrapping the copper unless your trying to save the wire fore a different project! I will have to say this was a good demonstration on how to save the copper for other projects.
It definitely takes more time and I think only hobby scrappers as myself would try it.
Thank you for watching.
Used to do this, but as you mentioned, some are difficult to remove, so slicing them tends to be easier and quicker. Always good to have alternate methods, though.
Absolutely! Definitely are faster methods but it is fun showing alternative methods. Thank you for watching my friend.
I just started following and I love your videos! Very informative and fun to watch, I also love the prayer at the end!! God bless and keep making videos 🙌🏼✝️
Thank you so much
God bless you and thank you for being here!
Thank you once again for your insight and your willingness to try new things then bring them to the scrapping community for us all to learn. You are an asset to our growing community and so many of us appreciate what you do here! Please keep up the amazing work ethic that you have shown. Cheers from down under.
Thank you so very much, I really appreciate that.
I just subbed to your channel.
Thank you so much for that. I’m loving the scrapping community on UA-cam so much now. There is so much good advice and tips to make our lifestyle easier. Please keep up the good work!
@@IndustrialPermaculture it’s a great community, glad you’re part of it.
Thanks James! Great video today and can’t wait for the next. Had fun in the live last night. Sorry I had to leave, I got
Antsy watching you scrap stuff and decided to do it myself 😂 god bless!
Thank you so much brother!
I’m happy you had fun and no worries at all. I’m happy to inspire some scrapping lol.
Thank you for watching and God bless you
Automatic like.
Thanks for sharing shared information.
Helping each other out.
The way life should be.
Absolutely, I 100% agree with you.
Thank you for watching.
Will try that out on the motors I have thanks
Thank you for watching and hanging out last night with us.
Nice, someone once told of this method but couldn't see what they meant till now lol. That's pretty amazing ✌️
Thank you buddy! It’s pretty interesting method for sure.
Thank you for watching
Well I never thought of doing it that way I gotta say it worked pretty slick!
God Bless 🙏🏻
Hey there brother, how’s it going?
As you know, I love trying new methods lol. It was actually kind of fun doing it.
God bless you!
@@scrapitall200 good morning brother may the good lord bless you today and every day 🙏🏻
@@BushDogScrapper praise Jesus for brand new days, for friends, family and hope. I pray you will have a blessed day brother!
@@scrapitall200 Amen Brother Amen 🙏🏻
You might be a genius. Ty! I just started experimenting with removing copper from motors.
Some people knit...I do things like this! Bless you!
It’s definitely fun to experiment.
Definitely a lot more fun than knitting lol.
Thank you and God bless.
Oh, I see you found some lacquer, too. I'm glad I am not alone. Great video, and maybe I'll give it a try again.
I did it with a stator from a sealed unit, the oily winding made it fairly easy.
@@scrapitall200 Oh good thinking. I will have lots of those to do.
I’m hoping that video will be out next Saturday. You’ll see how it worked. The major downside using this method on them, it’s hard to hold onto anything from all the oil.
That’s an awesome way to do it learn something new every day buddy!! There’s always something that’s gotta give you problems buddy! Awesome video!
Thank you so much my friend!
Very nice Sir! Glad to see less cutting/copper dust and you enjoying good old scrapping ;) Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching
Im speechless 😶 of your knowledge bud!!
Thank you my friend. I appreciate you watching and thanks for hanging out with us last night.
And even for us full time scrappers this is awesome. Because if the grinder or cutting tool goes out we’re not at a full stop with the motors.
@@scraprodriguez heck yeah buddy! Glad you liked it.
I would like to get a winding like that. I did get a ceiling fan, and I cut it by hand. 15.28 ounces. Happy scraping ❤
They are nice!
Yeah fans are not the heaviest weight in copper, but I like scrapping them.
Thank you for watching
Good video. Never seen that done before
Thank you buddy!
I believe most 230V or higher voltage motor windings, were further insulated by hot varnish and baked. Rewound ones certainly were. This would prevent this great way to get them out. This is a good common sense way to get them out, the opposite way to how they were put in. Good video.
Absolutely! I’ve had some motors that were absolutely drenched in varnish and they are a bear lol.
It’s fun trying new methods!
Thank you for watching.
great method! I'm gonna try that on my uncensored channel!
Thank you! Uncensored channel?
Great Video, Probably not something I'd try doing but I understand the hobby/therapy of dismantling our scrap sometimes it's just for fun not for profit.
Absolutely! Thank you for watching.
Great job Scrapitall.
God bless you!
Thank you so much!
God bless you too.
@@scrapitall200thank you!
❤❤❤ Good job 👍👍👍 pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇵🇱👍👍👍
Thank you my friend!
Thank you for the prayer brother!
You’re very welcome.
Thank you for watching and God bless you.
Very very cool method!! I usually try to process stuff after work and making less noise and mess is going to be amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for watching
Very interesting video! Thank you for showing this.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
A couple of years ago I came across a motor those bits werent glued in with resin, or just too tight to remove. Congrats on finding a unicorn. On a clean bench you can use the angle grinder with a 1mm cutting disc and just sweep up the copper dust. I have a number of different size pipe sections to put the stator on while punching the wire out. Getting properly set up is the key with that repetitive work. On the stators that size allows it, I ude a meat cleaver and hammer to cut the stator and copper in half, which saves sweeping the dust. After 4 years of this I still only have a half kilo of dust saved- most motors I get are small enough for the cleaver!
I’ve found 4 or 5 that worked like this.
Yeah I’ve been using a machete since I started my channel to cut them in half. I just like to show different methods and a subscriber asked me ti make this video.
Thank you for this and especially for the prayer at the end!
You’re welcome!
God bless and thank you for watching.
Scrapitall what a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Pam. Thank you for stopping by and watching. Have a wonderful day
Hey SIA! Nice new method. since i dont have an angle grinder. Have a great week mate!
Thank you, it was fun trying something new!
Have a great week too my friend.
Thank you for getting back to me on my last comment !
Hope it is helpful !!!
You’re welcome!
I appreciate suggestions, it’s always good to learn different ways to do things.
Thank you for watching multiple videos, I appreciate it.
Your video has the best soundtrack!
God bless you with long life sir !
Thank you so much!
God bless you!
That was cool. Might have try that sometime
Thank you buddy!
Thanks for watching and God bless you.
This is a great way to do it to thanks for your time mate i will give it a go Cheers...
Excellent!
Hope it works for you.
Thank you for watching
If only they were all that easy…😊
That is true. Some won’t work with this method, that’s when the machete comes out lol.
Thank you for watching buddy.
Καλησπέρα από την Αθήνα!!! Ελλάδα!!!😊
Hello all the way from Greece. Thank you for watching.
Maybe not the most efficient way of doing motors, but definitely a cool way especially if someone is limited on what tools they have
Exactly!
Thank you for watching!
I've found that the ones that are heavily lacored you can take a pair of side cutters and cut the tops of the coils in the center. Flip it over and use a screwdriver or a small pry bar and pull the coils out. It takes a little longer but it also prevents the copper and lacor dust.
Absolutely. I even use a machete to cut it in half, works the best imo.
Thank you for watching.
I put mine on vice,use saw zaw to cut 1 side then a flat head screw driver to pull from other side or a pair of pliers.Ive tried all methods and vice wrks for me.Thanks,Im gonna try this and see if I like it.
My preferred method is cutting the stator in half with a machete, works so good.
This method is more about just trying new things. I’ve done it with two so far but most others it just doesn’t work.
Thank you for watching.
I'm more knowledgeable thx to ur efforts producing this content. Thx so much for giving God all the glory at the end!
Thank you, I’m so happy my videos are helpful.
God bless you!
What a cool method
Thank you my friend! It’s always fun trying new things.
@@scrapitall200 gives me ideas for stubborn ones
Heck yeah buddy. It’s nice having many options to choose from.
Great work!🏆🏆🏆
I have literally tons of motors! Its just a matter of finding the time to get to them.
@@BullProspecting thank you!
I’ll say that this method doesn’t work on all motors, just depends if the insulating sleeves come out. The ones that don’t, I cut the stator in half with a machete. That works slick. As long as there isn’t any rivets lol.
@@scrapitall200Thank you so much!
I use a metal cut off blade for my skill saw.. You can buy them at any hardware store.. The blades fit most regular size skill saws..
Its like having a demolition saw..
You should try it. When you make your cut, do it over a bucket so you don't loose the shavings.. This way is extremely fast and will save you a ton of time..
After you make the cut, you can hit the back out with a hammer or use a long flat head screw driver and pry it out.. I hope I was able to help!
@@BullProspecting you’re welcome!
That’s a cool idea. I thought about getting one for a chop saw, never thought about using a skill saw before. Thank you.
@@scrapitall200 no problem at all! We gotta look out for us scrappers!🏆🏆🏆
@@BullProspecting absolutely! 👍
This is the way I've always did it, no waste or tiny pieces to gather
Awesome! It was kind of enjoyable to do.
I like to cut the stator in half with a machete, works so well.
Thank you for watching.
Thanks, I’m going to try it because I’m wasting copper with my chop saw. It probably cuts at least a 1/8 wide channel. It all adds up!
You’re welcome! I also use a machete to cut the stator in half. Works great. A cleaver and an ax works too.
Thank you for watching.
Never seen that done before my friend.🤔🤔Very interesting process.😲😲Not real fast but a lot cleaner than cutting with a cutoff wheel. God bless brother.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Absolutely!
It’s fun trying new methods.
I try to avoid using the grinder unless i absolutely need to use it.
God bless you brother and have a great day.
THANK YOU.I HAVE THE SAME MOTOR RIGHT NOW. FREAKING OUT HOW TO GET THE COPPER. UR VIDEO WAS HELPFUL! ILL DEF TRY THIS.. 😅 A'HO. NO GOD HERE.
@@cuetTimmonz thanks for watching
Prayer is powerful! Thank you brother!
Thank you I appreciate you saying that.
God bless you brother.
Nice job I am never so lucky I always get ones heavy with shalack
Bust out the machete 😂
Thank you for watching brother.
I usually use that method ,but mine is methodically and up to the detail.
I remove the copper winding ,scrap the burnt out winding and reverse unwind the remaining winding to a bobbin for reuse in making transformers or rewinding other motors.
That’s cool! Thank you for watching and leaving your comment.
You can use an air hammer with a wide chisel bit to cut the windings on one side and then pull the rest through the other side.
No copper dust/loss and no using up your cutting disks.
Time IS money,
More time = less money.
I use a machete to cut the stator in half, works incredibly well.
I’m a hobby scrapper and I just like to show different ways of doing things.
Thank you for watching.
Never seen or heard of doing it that way. Now I need a motor to tear apart. Great video buddy
Thank you, I appreciate it.
I hope you find one and it’ll work for you.
A good way to do this if you don’t have the tools I just buzz the coil on one side then work the rest of the wire out. I have used this method for salvaging the wire for rewiring motors. Why scrap wire that would be expensive new?
Thank you for the prayer. God bless you.
You are very welcome!
Thank you for watching and God bless you
AMEN BROTHER GOD BLESS YOU MY NEW FRIEND THANKS FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO!
Thank you so much!
God bless you brother.
This is the method I have always used. Remove the sleeves.
Awesome!
Thank you for watching.
Hi Scrapitall. Thanks for the great tip. This will save me a lot of time and wok.
Awesome, I happy you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for watching.
I like it I'm gonna have to try this
@@Noone-wt5rx seems to be hit or miss, but if the insulating sleeves come out, then it’ll work great.
Thank you for watching.
Please let me know how it works for ya.
Your prayer at the end got my sub. Thank you. Phillipians 1:6
Amen to that scripture!
Thank you so much and God bless you.
Great video Brother
Thank you, I appreciate that. Thank you for watching, I do appreciate it.
Great Video!
Thank you brother!
That was satisfying to watch. 👍🏻
Awesome! Thank you so much for letting me know and for watching.
Going to try this on the next motor I get
Awesome, I hope it goes well for you buddy.
Thank you for watching.
🤙🤙👍🤔 definately gonna try this method 😁✌️
Right on!
Let me know how it goes buddy.
Seems therapeutic. No loud grinder or Sawzall. No dust flying. Easy to shoot a video! #teamSHTF
Truth! It was definitely fun doing and honestly I’ll do it again, but I’m definitely a hobby scrapper lol.
Thanks for watching!
Scrapitall I appreciate your videos, but on this one I just get a reciprocating saw and cut one side then pry the other side out with a flat head. The pain though is some motors have paper and string holding together so the slow part of cutting all that off takes time. BUT as I said, love your videos brother.
I understand it’s not a method for everyone but I do enjoy showing different ways.
Thank you, I appreciate that and thank you for watching.
Well sir that's definitely different but I wonder how it would work with the ones that are really sealed with shalac this was a lot of fun thank you for sharing this six stars brother
Probably not very well, that’s when I bust out the machete 😂
Thank you brother, I appreciate it.
lol “ not very well “ is an understatement, errr speaking from experience
@@Man-in-da-shed 🤣
I’ve been there too buddy
the coil being difficult to remove had a narrower slot maybe from overheating maybe bending open the slot a little with big flat head screw driver might be worth a try i get stuck with odds and ends often simple fixes are not far away thanks for vids
Thank you for the suggestion, I always appreciate them.
Thank you for watching.
Suggestion … if you fine grind one side off , then put into a vise and take a cold chisel and hammer !!!
The second side will come out straight away !!!!!!!!!!!!.
@@albertpfaff6686 I have multiple ways of removing the copper, I just wanted to show a different way because a subscriber asked me too.
The prayer earned you a new sub from me! Love it!
Thank you!
God bless you and thank you so much for watching.
Another good one boss! Keep up the work. You ought to save up a few odds and ends like that for the streams.
On another note, the reason i can't see nice junk's videos , they don't come up when i put in the name
That’s a good idea! Thank you.
Oh really?

Thank you so much.
God bless you too.
nice one. cheers
Thanks buddy. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the tip
You’re welcome.
Thank you for watching!
Theoretically yes. In practice it can be a pain in the tush.
This one wasn’t too bad for my first time, but I do know there’s plenty this method just wouldn’t work.
Thank you for watching.
That works but is a little slow and fiddly, I have found that a sharp cheap wood chisel, hammer, and a solid surface to work on makes fast work of it. Just shear(chisel) off one end of the windings and pull the remainder out from the other side.
Thanks! Yeah! Nice video👍🏻
Thank you, I appreciate you watching
Just alittle persuasion is needed. Thanks As always ✌️👍
Absolutely!
Thank you for watching and joining us last night on the livestream.
That's amazing
Thank you buddy.
Thanks for watching!
You are welcome
Great video
Thank you buddy
Good method if you don’t want to make much noise.
Or make copper dust which is quite dealt to breathe in.
Thank you for watching.
