I'm doing a scrap metal fund raiser for our Scouts in the States. I've gotten lots of great information for these kids. This has been alot of fun. And it's something I plan to continue. Thank you for these videos 😊
Thank you for the kind words and support, I appreciate what you do and proudly support Scouts for their dedication and preservation of our great world. All the best and keep informed as to the progress and success of your fundraiser.
@@TinManScrapper Im gathering, separating, and breaking some down at this point. Will be having foot Surgery in early July which will lay me up a bit. But I can still sit and break things down. While recovering. I'll continue even after the fund raiser but, I'll keep you posted. Your step by step direction has made this not only educational but alot of fun. For all the right reasons. It is peaking the kids interest. And I can play with my power tools again. 😊 Thanks Again!
@@kphelps5431 btw, what branch is your scout group, I would like to do a shoutout and best wishes to them on an upcoming video. I still have a few videos done, but I will let you know when I post it.
Happy Easter/ Holiday's Tinman to you and family! Another awesome video. I hit my 500 this week🙂 and I'm still learning a lot from you...keep em coming 👍🙂
Tin Man you didn’t mention anything about the real thick heavy aluminum 6061? I have at least a good 300 lbs from the machines I built . a lot of parts are black anodized which is not mentioned in most videos if it’s the same price . so if it’s not any of the pieces you showed what category would they fall in and what price (i hope I explained that ok) thanks so much ……Shabbyscrapper
Informative video :) Some things seem to be sorted differently in my area of western canada and the prices are not as good (which is normal where i live). Frying pans and thicker sheet aluminum (can't easily bend with 1 hand) goes as low copper such as that angle bracket you showed. The vacuum tube goes in extruded and the heat sinks, depending on how they are made, i keep separate as they can never decide if it's extruded or something else when I take them in :) Have a great week :)
Frying pans as low grade copper is pretty nice though. Amazing how different scrap yards are in sorting and pricing only 1hour apart from each other. Stay well and enjoy your week as well.
Shabbyscrapper here great video, I am not quite sure what a hardrive body would go under it looks like a great piece of aluminum but it definitely looks like it was made by a mold? cast or not ( they are so loud)
Thanks for the comment. I am going to do a video soon on zinc. Comparing brass and zinc faucets for example. I will get to it soon. Stay well and thanks again for watching.
Nope, my bbqs still have some food crud in them and I have never had a problem. Make sure however you take out all the magnetic rivets and screws though, that will downgrade you.
@TinManScrapper l learned to do that after the scrap yard guy mentioned it and told me to start watching UA-cam videos. I come across lots of small engines that have a lot of cast on them and when I tear them apart they're usually greasy dirty and oxidized. What about when it's painted? I really appreciate your videos and I've learned a lot from you. Thank you for your time.
I would say yes, for some of the look like they have been put through a press. However, there are some (found in computer towers) that are clean and not pressed. If in doubt, I keep them off to the side and let the scrap yard decide
Does cast aluminum matter if it painted or not? Should I separate it? I’m really having trouble sorting my aluminum. Not enough bins and I have a truckload full of extrusion, cast and sheet but I have a lot of items I have no clue what they are
Yes, since I have a lot of clean and very little painted. Painted about 2 cents less a pound and if together, you will get painted price. Thanks for watching. Stay well
So if you had an complete aluminum frame from a 12x12 gazebo, where would you place that in those piles you have (I still have to remove all the steel screws left in it) it’s painted brown
If grooved and looks like pieces have been put through a press, then extrusion. I would say because it will be thicker like window frames, then extrusion. Good score for sure, I am sure there is some good weight to it.
Good video but those aluminum pots and fry pans you show are not cast. They're aluminum sheet cuz it was formed in a press, not a mold. Cast aluminum will always have a parting line from the two molds. Yes they do make cast aluminum pots and pans (brand name CLUB comes to mind), but what you are showing are not cast. If you can dent or bend the pot or fry pan, its sheet. Cast won't bend, it will break.
Aluminium heats sinks are either extrusion or clean aluminum. If looks like put through a press then extrusion, if just smooth and no groves clean aluminum
Thanks for the comment. Some could be counted as extrusion and some would not. The ones that have a lot of grooves and or look like they have been put through a press could be extrusion, but the smooth ones would be clean aluminum.
I actually have a separate video on how to remove the steel coil from underneath. If brought in as is it would be dirty cast aluminum and around 5 cents a pound. Well worth taking out the heating coil
I have a good question went to hwy 51 scrap In Louisiana sold and aluminum boat when I went to get the cash they put it as 10% aluminum and only gave 7 dollars 90 lb boat how is a solid aluminum boat bring less than bags of cans 🙄Ik I got ripped off royally also clean copper #1 they put as dirty and # 2
Cans in the USA are more valuable bringing them to a redemption center. .5 cents each is better than by the pound like he said but I take it Canada doesn't have a bottle redemption program.
Extruded aluminum is a much higher quality than other types. Heat sinks and window frames, for example, are a higher quality aluminum than say, a frying pan or lid or soda can. Many scrap yards will pay more for the higher quality aluminums.
Nope. I don’t get penalized if there is the food sludge on bbqs for example. Even ladders that have some pain on them are not downgraded. Perhaps it could be the person working the scale house that makes the difference for some people, but I have never been downgraded.
I like basic way you are teaching new
Scrap metal pickers it help a lot.
Thank you.
Thanks for this video. I'm new to scrapping. This video definitely helped identifying
Glad it was helpful! Stay well and happy scrapping.
1 of the better videos I've seen. Just hope I'm a millionaire soon..
Thanks for putting this out. Super informative on aluminum category 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh, great video and covering information, TM. Yet another comprehensive and educational video. Off to watch 1 s Aluminum now. I appreciate you.

@@kphelps5431 btw, this Friday I am posting a video on magnet fishing using a large speaker magnet, something the kids can try as an activity.
Great Video Mr Tin Man. Very nice collection of materials for the examples /cheers ScrapBongo
Thank you. Hope you had a great weekend.
I’m Jace lebert and I love your videos
Thank you very much Jace. Hope you enjoy your day today.

So informative! Thank you Tin Man!
Hi Tim can you scrap a dishwasher and a microwave
Great video packed with info! Appreciate ya Bro
Thank you for the video.This helps a lot.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
Cool video! Super great info
Very helpful.

Very informative! Awesome video my friend!
Thanks. Stay well and happy scrapping
Heat sinks should count as extruded aluminum unless they're clearly mechanically assembled right?
Yes. Heat sinks are a high quality grade of aluminum.
Shabbyscrapper here great video, I am not quite sure what a hardrive body would go under it looks like a great piece of aluminum but it definitely looks like it was made by a mold? cast or not ( they are so loud)
Thanks for the vids. I love em. I am curious about zinc. do you have info on zinc?
Thanks for the comment. I am going to do a video soon on zinc. Comparing brass and zinc faucets for example. I will get to it soon. Stay well and thanks again for watching.
Would the al pots and pans be clean if teflon coated?
They would be put in with cast aluminum
Good info,
Thank you. Stay well.
I'm wanting to find out if you need to clean the oil and grease off of your cast aluminum for it to be considered clean cast?
Nope, my bbqs still have some food crud in them and I have never had a problem. Make sure however you take out all the magnetic rivets and screws though, that will downgrade you.
@TinManScrapper l learned to do that after the scrap yard guy mentioned it and told me to start watching UA-cam videos.

aren't the heat sinks considered extruded? at least the one you held up?
I would say yes, for some of the look like they have been put through a press. However, there are some (found in computer towers) that are clean and not pressed. If in doubt, I keep them off to the side and let the scrap yard decide
@@TinManScrapper Thank you for the reply I have been separating them when I bring them in I will ask what they consider those ones
Does cast aluminum matter if it painted or not? Should I separate it? I’m really having trouble sorting my aluminum. Not enough bins and I have a truckload full of extrusion, cast and sheet but I have a lot of items I have no clue what they are
Painted cast does not matter, since the black cases of the old bbq and frying pans are all painted.
Question...Do you separate you clean Extruded aluminum from your painted? Example..clean/painted heatsink's. Thanks!
Keep up the good videos
Yes, since I have a lot of clean and very little painted. Painted about 2 cents less a pound and if together, you will get painted price. Thanks for watching. Stay well
So if you had an complete aluminum frame from a 12x12 gazebo, where would you place that in those piles you have (I still have to remove all the steel screws left in it) it’s painted brown
If grooved and looks like pieces have been put through a press, then extrusion. I would say because it will be thicker like window frames, then extrusion. Good score for sure, I am sure there is some good weight to it.
Hello Tin Man , Sir Can u make a video about the detailed study and differences between Aluminium 6061 vs Aluminium 6063
Good video but those aluminum pots and fry pans you show are not cast. They're aluminum sheet cuz it was formed in a press, not a mold. Cast aluminum will always have a parting line from the two molds. Yes they do make cast aluminum pots and pans (brand name CLUB comes to mind), but what you are showing are not cast. If you can dent or bend the pot or fry pan, its sheet. Cast won't bend, it will break.
What about the components off of motherboards? From like tvs, microwaves, etc?
Aluminium heats sinks are either extrusion or clean aluminum. If looks like put through a press then extrusion, if just smooth and no groves clean aluminum
Thanks Tin man that was very helpfull, much appreciated.
Glad I could help
Cool Superman t-shirt
Thank you. Tin Man/ Man of Steel.
I thought thoose chunky aluminium heatsinks were extruded?
Thanks for the comment. Some could be counted as extrusion and some would not. The ones that have a lot of grooves and or look like they have been put through a press could be extrusion, but the smooth ones would be clean aluminum.
@@TinManScrapper Alright thanks 👍
Many bbq nozzles are brass, but some are cast aluminum.
What about electric frying pans?
I actually have a separate video on how to remove the steel coil from underneath. If brought in as is it would be dirty cast aluminum and around 5 cents a pound. Well worth taking out the heating coil
Look at video entitled scrapping a George Foreman Grill
I have a good question went to hwy 51 scrap In Louisiana sold and aluminum boat when I went to get the cash they put it as 10% aluminum and only gave 7 dollars 90 lb boat how is a solid aluminum boat bring less than bags of cans 🙄Ik I got ripped off royally also clean copper #1 they put as dirty and # 2
wow, that is really terrible. we’re the rivets aluminum as well?
Cans in the USA are more valuable bringing them to a redemption center. .5 cents each is better than by the pound like he said but I take it Canada doesn't have a bottle redemption program.
Scrudgent metal ??
CAN YOU DO A VIDEO MELTING & MAKING COPPER / ALUMINUM INGOTS 😁👍 PLZzzz 🥺
Unfortunately I do not have a crucible yet, so I can’t. Upcoming plans I will be getting a crucible and making it a part of my channel.
I just don't get it and what is it ?
Extruded aluminum is a much higher quality than other types. Heat sinks and window frames, for example, are a higher quality aluminum than say, a frying pan or lid or soda can.
Many scrap yards will pay more for the higher quality aluminums.
I agree, some heat sinks are not extruded though. Looks like you gave me another idea for a video.
I'm going to assume that when you have oil dirt, grime, grease, or anything like that on your aluminum, that it is considered dirty.
Nope. I don’t get penalized if there is the food sludge on bbqs for example. Even ladders that have some pain on them are not downgraded. Perhaps it could be the person working the scale house that makes the difference for some people, but I have never been downgraded.
does your dad do videos
Those pans are going to old sheet
You forgot mlc alum
