- What a big day we had scrapping metal! A new friend called us up for a pickup and absolutely loaded the truck with treasures. At this point, we didn't have much of a choice: scrap metal processing day! Of course we had to finish it off with a big ol' trip to cash out at the scrapyard, so come hang out and see how we did!

Shout out to Chad for gifting such solid items!
45 min video let’s gooooo!!!
Mount the vice to a heavy steel plate and put a piece of non slip rubber between it and your table. Could even clamp it down.
right! also works with a thiqq wood plate.

I'd love to be a part of a live stream. If I can I will.
Thanks to Chad for adding to the show!
Great video. Great commentary.
Thanks Chad! Good job bud!
Second best drop ever! Keep doing the thing.
that big faux-supressor is what tippman called thr "flatline" barrel! Supposedly imparts backspin on the paintballs so they fly straighter and give you better accuracy! 5th grade best friend's dad was hardcore into paintball and had a few of those a-5s kittef out for different scenarios and gsme types!
I had fun!!!
watching you vids are my relax time bro
I would definitely watch a livestream Sir. It'd be brilliant if it's an extra video a week, it'll double your viewing from us too so it would help you in the algorithm. All the best.
Enjoyed the video. Lots of clean up.
A live stream would be rad! Definitely do that!
Great video thub. I enjoyed it being longer than normal.
Great job, well done. ❤️💙
longer video's would be good,yes a live video would be awesome too!!!! not a bad payday it all adds up in the end.great video
Outstanding variety and a great new found friend. Have visited Grandville Island. 😊
That was fun, I like seeing stuff getting broke down it’s educational and therapeutic.
A live video would be interesting.
God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦✌🏼😎
M8 time stamp 42:13 those yellow tanks make great bells and the round cup underneath makes a great nut and bolt holder. Another amazing video : although , in my opinion it could have been a bit longer. Keep up the good work. God bless y'all.
another spectacular day I'm addicted to your videos keep it up 👍👍👍
If you don't want 3 big holes in your stainless work table the try attaching a 2 inch slab of hardwood to top of table with a series of drywall screws from underneath and then lag the vise with appropiate length lags, you can use a 1/8 bit for pilot holes to attach slab, the small pilot holes will barely ever be noticed!
@15:12 *Try using those pex cutters to split open the little plastic solenoids you get from washing machines and dishwashers. Works like a charm. Just snip them in half and pull out the copper.*
Just need to lubricate those trumpet valves, you can most likely save that trumpet... How much it's worth is really the question, might be worth more as scrap metal if it's a starter model that's dated. Some can be very pricey and worth fixing
Love the idea of a live stream thub I’ll definitely be there!!!
The trumpet just needs oil. The thing on the bottom that you said may be the problem are just to remove spit that builds up inside after extended use.
Thanks!
SOSS hinges are readily available online. Some manufacturers are higher quality than others. Definitely you get what you pay for
Oooow a possible livestream that would be good.
Can't beat a scrapmans trumpet 😂
Hey Thub, another great vid 👍
100%!! Live stream the process, man.
Oh hey buddy!! Hope you’ve been well ☺️
The other day I had a big non ferrous load, I try to every month it usually pays my rent which is nice. In that load, I had 89 pounds of copper Transformers at 20 cents a pound.It was 17.80 which isn't much, but it all adds up as we say.
Just wanna say thanks Thub. I started watching you maybe 2 weeks ago, super chill, entertaining videos. Well, it got me diving as well. I didn't find much and I only have a car, so I'm a bit limited but I've been accumulating what I found in dumpsters and went to the scrapyard for the first time today. Left with $60 in my pocket and I had a lot of fun diving and experiencing the yard!
The scrap Jesus
He does resemble those old pictures grandma had the wall. 😇
Dyson pulsing is from the rear filter being clogged. You have to remove the battery to get to it.
Jac lift cool I have two and never seen others.
Pro tip, paint your Phillips and assorted bits a bright color to more easily find them or better yet upgrade to a hex impact and use the extended 6" bits or an extended bit holder with quick change locking collar
Secondly your workbench top is quite low for your height , try elevating it to about bellybutton level and your neck and back will thank you.
I love going through junk so I'd watch you doing it forever! :D
That is quite the gift. I think you owe the guy a pint.😁
He did me a huge favor I got my storage space back and now I can organize all my tools and I like to support my favorite UA-cam channel
@@lapierre_123 Thub still owes you a pint!😉
I have been considering melting all of my #2 copper wiring and making bars. Not for the scrap yard, but for me. My only concern is testing and marking the purity.
YES a Livestream of this would be great! I would definitly watch this Buddy. Good work :)
Great vid thub❤ keep doin the thing❤
I know you won't answer me but I'll give it a shot!! Do you ever wear a dust mask to eliminate from breathing in metal dust 🥶
I answer people! And I do own a respirator but I don’t wear it nearly as often as I should
@@thubprint this is me lol. Probably one of the biggest mistakes a scrapper can make is not wearing a respirator anytime you are cutting and grinding metals.
Thub is great about responding! I personally always wear a respirator when it involves copper dust because there's a lot of issues that can happen, including death, if you inhale or ingest too much copper. When dealing with steel, I try to remember, but usually it's not big things that's gonna take a while. Aluminum definitely because that stuff gets very fine, just like copper, and it's bad bad I'd you take in too much!
your car window would never pass inspection over here man!
@@arthurmorgan9559 I always think the same every time UK
Man, I hadn't thrown a bit in a while. After seeing you do it, it's every other time I flick a screw off. FYI, DeWalt sells a little box of #2 Phillips bits for like $11
Oh I love trumpets those valves can be removed an replaced but yeah Mineral oil them it may work :)
You can find many sizes of microwave glass trays at Goodwill.
The problem with the dyson is it will need a good clean and maybe a new filter it should work fine after that
Hey Thub, you should grab a similar brand impact driver for your screws. They have a quick change 1/4" head that will lock in your driver bit. They're so much better at dealing with screws than the drill. Plus no more lost bits😂😂😂 love the vid as always
You need an impact in addition to your electric drill. It would make short work of that minibike motor. Either rip the heads off the bolts or remove them. Should make clean cast AL either way.
Wow I have never seen your hair down!
I would have to say the reason that you didn't get so much for the small transformers is that there is 70% trash, leaving 30% copper. I try to break down everything with copper to get the most money. Even though you made a longer video, I stayed to the end. I am always intrigued by what others find for scrap, I have videos out of some of the unusual things that I have gotten scrapping. Take care my friend and I will see you on the next video.
Live stream feels like a pretty good idea in my opinion, I would earn some extra money as well ashelp with boredom
You can buy an adapter for your Dyson V6 vacuum to use your Milwaukee batteries.
I can’t believe the way you at the Kit Kat 😂 you should be ashamed
🤣
Some of the older powertools like that saw could be cast magnesium.
If you're in doubt then a few drops of vinegar will tell you (it'll bubble on magnesium)
18:16
For silver containing components like this, I generally leave them mounted to the pieces of steel they are installed on. It helps hold everything still, and the bits of plastic that stay on the steel, you get paid for. It ain’t much but it saves you the time it takes to unscrew everything, and for me it mitigates the mess it makes. Of course, if we’re chasing the silver plating on contacts, we’re just doing it for fun anyways.
Have you thought about mounting the vise to the bench with a receiver
OMG, you have a cracked windshield. I thought it was my phone.😊
Kerchief and a blunt and you'd be the zig zag guy.
It's been all downhill since the SNES. 😂 Absolute height of gaming.
That looks like a flatline barrel on the Tippmann
It's curved, supposed to add backspin and make them fly farther.
Ohhhh is that what they look like? That would explain why it’s so tall. I thought the barrels that add spin would be rifled, not curved
hey there... @ 11:07 on the floor behind you is that a computer tower? if it is and you need help identifying it (to see if its worth anything) that's a pretty easy thing for me to do.... and doing a LIVE STREAM would be the PERFECT time for you to take the cover off the case and show the inside to the camera (but it might take a few more small steps after that to tell the exact specs... but the chances that if it isn't newer than 10 years old then it is NOT WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT.... but we'll never know if we don't look0! lol )
Live stream sounds perfect my brother!
Just try to announce in time, hence i for one i am GMT +2 :)
Hi there! Love your vids and have picked a few tips and tricks. Now, what is prepared steel? The two yards around me don't have a prepared steel category. And they also keep the change. (Which I think is a ripoff)
A small piece of electrical tape inside the bit holder helps from losing bits. Also you should know eating a kit Kat like that is highly illegal, snap each individual piece off..............
25:20 get the adapter for Milwaukee batteries
Also dyson is stupid and all the shit is on the inside of the filter and you gotta pry it apart to clean it out
My yard won't take those small transformers, they say they are too small.
But did you find the other two hole saws so you could have a whole saw set?!?!?! I gotsta know.
Brother get the windscreen sorted dangerous as hell
Would you ever swap the truck for a cargo van?
better to sell the railing than scrapping them.
When you dumped off your goodies, you seemed to be just throwing it in piles. How did it get received / weighed?
The trumpet just needs new pads on the spit valves and the main three valves need lube. Trumpet grease will do. Finally in the case there may be a tube snake to clean them out and wammo blammo cleaned trumpet. Or take it to a instrument tech, ha.
Actually you need valve grease for the valves and trumpet grease for the tube that come out near the spit valves.
Nice, thank you! I probably won’t be taking it to a tech, except for hopefully buying those items lol. I like it but not enough to pay hundreds for labor (it has a dent too)
@@thubprint it reminds me of one of my first horns. The bones are really good, but it needs to be maintained. I can't see any bad denting on the tubes. Pad and valves always have to be maintained. Heck valves can easily be replaced. All that being said, for the maintenance needed it shouldn't take a lot of the sell price. The brand should be on the bell. Look it up and take off $50 and Bob's your Uncle, ha.
Imagine eating your KitKats like an actual psychopath. I guess that’s probably the norm up north eh?
I was wondering if you bother with looking to get gold extracted from circuit boards and TV's?
I would have questioned those brass frames too lol. I got three buckets of lock scrap from the locksmith around the corner, all stuff that needs to be chopped and smashed since “dirty brass” doesn’t exist around here (🥲). About half of the stuff in it was good, solid brass…the rest was some kind of…gold/brass plated zinc? Sure looked like brass before knicking it up!
Yea, I REALLY think a LIVE STREAM would be your best bet if you DO want to make content out of it... I know I'll watch it.... but it REALLY depends on the DAY and TIME -
BUT some advice from someone who spends MOST OF HIS TIME ON UA-cam: PLAN a DATE and TIME to do the live stream so that your regulars known when to set their alarms/make free time/etc.... and STICK TO THE DATE/TIME YOU SAID!!! - ALSO, DON'T OVERDO HOW MUCH YOU LIVESTREAM!! Some people do live streams EVERY OTHER DAY for 6 HOURS... and that is just OVERLOAD.... Most good live streamers would do it 1 day a week... BUT you NEED TO HAVE FRESH CONTENT EVERY WEEK, and THAT IS HARDER THAN YOU THINK!!!! What happens when you have a crappy week picking up scrap, and you have to dip into your "back-up" plans (you mentioned those rims as saving for another day) well what happens when it RAINS 3 weeks in a row.... and then the 4th week comes up and it RAINS AGAIN, but THIS TIME YOU DONT HAVE ANY TIRES?!?!? - What are you gonna do during your live stream??? Pick your nose for 2 hours?? RIVETING CONTENT I MUST SAY!!! lol
But going live once per month is spaced so far apart that people WILL FORGET you stream regularly. So I would say do it EVERY OTHER WEEK. Oh and DO NOT include a ride to the scrap yard in a live stream... save that for the regular weekly vids you already do....
- Other than these couple of tips I'm SURE you'll be able to figure it out and you'll start doin regular live streams and people will be tuning in to them just as much as your regular shows!!! You just have this positive, witty, funny, magnetic personality that will just draw more people in!!! :D
What are your thoughts about scrapping magnetic stainless steel from BBQ’s and appliances? I get $0.25 a pound for it vs $0.05 cad when I sell it as shred.
I don't blow trumpets since I saw the scene in American pie, band camp(If you know, you know!).............🎺🎺🎺
0.9/lb fir insulated 40% Cu wire is kinda low
44:15 To be safe use terms stator = stationary, or rotor = rotating. Armature can be non-moving or moving; it's part with Cu windings supplied with AC current.
Where'd you get that mask from thub?
Would you believe.. in someone’s garbage? 😆
You look like Jesus Christ today my mate!
No way you got a copy of shaq-fu
