We need more car buying fixing and selling
I have been putting things out on the curb for years and thanks to scrappers like you I don’t have to pay to dump them in the landfill. Much better to see the stuff go to someone who can use it or make money off of it.
I agree
Y would you pay to dump something recyclable in the trash or landfill dumb dumb. Least u could donate it to the scrap yard or give it to this guy
And us scrappers salute you....😊
@@jonathanfreedom1st Sometimes goodness has it’s rewards. I put a car for sale at the curb and the scrapper who had been taking metal for years stopped by and bought it.😀
Where have you been???@@weirdbeard8898
There are a couple of channels I watch that are dedicated scrapping channels that do both street and dumpster scrapping and they’re always interesting to watch and see what they’ve found that has been thrown away. It really should be more widely accepted since it keeps items being put into landfills unnecessarily that can be recycled. Even with businesses if they’ve put something in the dumpster, as long as someone isn’t making a mess for the business to clean up, it should be fine to get it.
In the sixties on wire harnesses and coated copper wire, we just burned the plastic coating off.
Hey man - you need to keep your scrappin vids here.
If you start a new channel - it's gunna be forever before you start gettin paid for those vids.
Start a playlist here and keep your vids where you're going to get paid for your hard work!
I work at a scrap yard and that shiny wire is called bare bright and is worth more than #1. Might want to check and make sure you are getting paid fairly. Usually about 15 cents difference between the two.
Yes I was gonna mention that BB bare bright was 10 cents more when I worked at the scrapyard. That was 95-05 tho prices are way higher now. I never seen copper over 1 dollar then, and I remember when it was down to 40 cents for a little while during that time. Big difference! 😉✌
I'd say late 90's when it was 40 cents a pound. Guy's were PO'd ! 😁
I don’t usually comment. Just wanted to say whatever content you put out is awesome. Think would be hard to keep both channels going so would be cool to keep it all to one channel so those that watch your scrapping might start watching your fixes and flips. End of day your channel and content. Always nice to bring more content to the channel to change it up a bit. Property maintenance videos would be nice too. Tree trimming, fence fixes, painting is all content. Support you either way brotha 🤙🏽 keep up the awesome work.
In metal scaping, a magnet in your best identifying tool.
For sure
I had a huge piece of waterproof heavy duty Army truck tarpaulin behind my house that I had used for a roof of a car port. My wife did not want it there anymore.
I knew this material was very expensive. I asked around for nearly a year that someone could pick it up for free.
One said he would come to have a look at it but was to lazy. At the end I had to dump it in a container that I had used for a lot of old broken construction stuff.
People are so spoilt, specially here in Switzerland. When I was a boy we went to collect old bottles and some old stuff in order to get some pocket money and it was fun for us.
I was scrapping for a few years, copper and brass. I had access to it at work. I was a trailer mechanic and did lots of wiring jobs. I even had some of the other shop personnel give me their copper and brass. I filled up bins and trash barrels of it. Best haul I did was $350. I don’t work in the shop anymore so most of the stuff I get is from home electrical repairs. Keep up the good work and you will be victorious in court.
That sounds like it was a good gig. Thanks for sharing it here.
Thanks WB
I would watch the scraping channel.
Well yeah Mike, we want to keep up on your activities and what they are tying to pull on you!
AUTO AUCTION REFILLS IS A DOUCHE BAG. I would like to hear before and after your court dates. Cheers from Joplin Mo. (Not far from you)
Why not I would watch!
Cool
Thanks for showing how you scrap all the types of metals to make some decent money. It's interesting but I prefer your car content.. mostly the stuff where you buy a car that's a little bit rough and fix it up and make a good profit. Your painting/restoration skills and mechanical know how are the main reason I love watching this channel. I know prices are insane right now.. but I hope you eventually get back to the flipping cars stuff again. Merry Christmas!
that was a great video Mike, I like the scrappin and good luck in court 👍
Thank you
Will watch your new channel. Do you have to pay taxes on your money you get out of scrap? Roger in Pierre South Dakota
I ran a scrapyard from 95-05 and it was a cash business, we paid people in cash. Nobody bothered you about taxes. Not sure how other places do it but in Massachusetts no taxes straight cash in your hand. 😉✌
We didn't even ask for any ID. We asked your name and hand written receipt. You could say Michael Jackson and get your cash and have a nice day. 😁✌
I never knew so many John Smith's existed. 🤣
@@michaelbristol6467 I just see scrappers on UA-cam such as MIKE THE SCAVENGER in Texas taking in scrap and showing the receipt of $200-$500+ on his channel. Do the IRS scan channels like his to see if he pays tax? By the way, he has stopped doing that the last 6 months or so. Have tried to ask him,but up till now, he hasn’t answered my questions. “John Smith” ha ha
Let's do the scraping videos for a bit that would be a good change, then more about the court case. Anything you do is fun to watch. Thanks
I’ll watch any channel you put up.
Thanks
Great video, good luck 👍🏾
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for keeping us updated wb have a good one
Thanks, you too!
wont even buy tank gas sad i just sit on it use it repupose it etc so many better things sad cause lot us got nice life stlye got pay the bills back in day one could live and work no you go out in system out thier taxes taxes death
Like to see you finish the orange truck and the old blue Dodge car!
This is a cool change of pace! Be interesting to see how much you make in an average month.
Diggin the long sleeve (in the intro) brother! 👊🏼
Cool video as well.
Appreciate it!
love the dirt album t-shirt
One of my faves
Wouldn't it be best to just do the scrapping vids here? IDK really how the YT stuff works, but you alreay have a bunch of subscribers & should be monetized. This one was good n entertaining, I will watch more wherever.
Mike I honestly think you could do videos on watching paint dry and people would enjoy them. I think a 2nd channel on scrapping and side hustles that put cash in your hand might grow legs…I also enjoy your car flip videos. Every thing about doing junk yard walks rounds and perhaps sourcing rust free parts and cars for people as a side business?
What is difficult about scraping is Omnisorce doesn't tell you how to do it on their website. The only way to learn is from someone who is doing it.
I tried it and got discouraged just as you said. Looking for a Buddy in the Indianapolis area to help me do what's right by the planet.
Yes, keep spreading the good word. Scrap Metal Forum holds lots of info. Good luck with court!
You're doing it legit.
Many aren’t.
I would like to see few examples how do you strip the copper wires (different types). What tools are necessary etc. Thanks
💯 for the other channel and videos !!! Love your content !!
Thanks man
You should get yourself an old washer tub to burn all that copper. You will get a much better price for clean copper.
You're so damn organized. It's impressive.
Plead insanity
HI Mike!
Hey Roger
I like to scrap. I have fun with it. I’d like to know more about it man. Keep up the great content!!
Definitely let us know on the court date. I’ll make the half hour drive to Norman to be there and support you brother.
If you want my opinion don't put up another channel doing that you could run yourself into more legal issues because you would be uploading proof or evidence for the county to mess with you if you want some good advice I would keep it off the internet
Great video. I would watch that channel also. Keep up awesome videos
Thanks for the support
Netflix and striping and money for building .... Love your videos don't stop doing the things that keep you happy . The trucks coming together quickly
Me likey!
That free pickup still running good?
Sure is thanks to my hard work. Btw nothing is free. Worked way too hard for that truck actually.
Look into electronics and gold recovery. It's wiser to have gold you can hold over gold on paper
I stumbled across your content when you painted the Ford-Harley Davidson and have looked forward to seeing your content every week since.I always look forward to seeing your content and hope you keep it up!Scrapping videos would be awesome along with your build videos!Hope you and family have a Merry Christmas!
Thanks for being a long time subscriber and Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.
Hay funny enough I was just dumpster diving today and scored two 5 gallons of paint sherwin-Williams, marine grade exterior paint. And even better I have a 40 foot Connex container that I need to paint. I guess it's gonna be painted gray now.
Score!!! That stuff ain’t cheep. I love finding paint.
Yes let us know about court.
Will do
Not sure about a dedicated channel, but a video here and there between projects would be good.
If it's black pipe that is usually used for natural gas.
I'm subbed to Mike the scavenger and scrapping with grampa I'd sub to your scrapping channel
I like them too. Scrap and pallet man as well.
Must've been a copperhead snake that got stripped. 😉
U can buy automatic wire strippers. Makes life way easier
Mike,I use to scrap copper wire. I would throw it in a 50 gallon metal drum .put air holes around the base, douse with gas and burn the coating off. Great channel. Keep up the good work.
Good tip!
Ive had problems with this method most of the recycle centers in my area will not buy burnt copper, had 30lbs or so and couldn't get any of my 3 local places to take it I know Oklahoma is easier and Ive had no problems with one in NEO but I would check with your scrap dealer first
I'm a state away in the spot where the 4 states meet and tweakers retreat oh the joys of misery 😂😉
Watch out!! the plastic coating is super toxic when on fire. The fumes from plastic kills more people in house fires than the actual flames. I know a scrapper that died from the wind shifting, he inhaled and fell into the barrel. Boil the wire in water for 10 minutes and that really does the trick, safely. I used to break up oak pallets to fire my hot pot. I was a junkman for 40 years and had my own yard.
I’m all for the scrapping content, I love your content of any type, glad your fighting the charges✊✌️
We have to wait 5 business days to collect on copper after selling
No way
@@weirdbeard8898 yep, unless u have a business license and they don't buy burnt copper wire either
just want to say i realy enjoy your videos keep up the great work
I'd keep that stainless hose. could be used for something on your truck.
Not a bad idea
@@weirdbeard8898 for what, i don't have a clue, if shorter, could be a rad hose. im sure you'll think of something.
keep working on keeping things out on the land fill 👌🖕
Thanks Weird Beard. I think a separate channel may work just great. Thanks for sharing!
💯👍👊
I think so too!
Excellent 🎉 Hey WB, you are on it. Metal scraping is very interesting.
I was foreman at my local scrapyard for 10 years and it was great! I even got to use the garage to do my bodywork jobs at night. I had a good gig. But unfortunately the EPA kept hounding the owner drilling holes looking for contamination and ended up going out of business for pollution that was left by the owners family beforehand. It was a small operation only around 5 or 6 guys but it was great while it lasted. The money to be made was endless pockets were always full of cash. We use to save all the copper wire up and strip it for extra Christmas cash, they paid us 25 cents a pound but that's when it was only 1 dollar a pound clean but when your talking 5,000 pounds it was a good payday! Anyways scrapping is in my blood and I'll watch you do some scrapping Mike. 👍
😉✌
Awesome memories. Thanks for sharing them here.
The government always comes along and wrecks stuff.
@@oleradiodudea.m.4735 they charged 10k for every hole they drilled and they drilled them all over the yard, then they wanted all new concrete pads and oil separating tanks. The bills were unbelievable! Family established business established in 1912 and they put it out of business. Damn shame! 😠
@@michaelbristol6467 That's so sad. I'm 67 and when growing up in Nebraska as kids we were taught people who owned their own businesses were the hard working honorable people. We had paper routes and picked up pop bottles to raise cash. Now government jobs are the best ones to have. Sad.
Sup Dude!!!!
Same ol’ thang
scrap channel sounds cool@@weirdbeard8898
Yes, please, scrapping vids would be very helpful. I’ve done a fair bit of scrapping over the years and often wonder what are the tips and tricks. I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now, back to the old flipping cars videos. Thank you Mike! Steve
Mike, if you are after feedback, here’s mine. Love that your a scrapper, like the format of this video, many many Chanel’s I watch don’t quite show or explain enough while scrapping, I liked the way your presented this, it wasn’t rushed, it had your usually calm and cool style to it. Also like that you picked up some good reusable lumber too 👍🏼👍🏼 thanks for sharing this process with us.
Wow!!! That’s some good feedback. Thanks man.
Good video.
Thanks!
This is honest, hard work that is good for everybody. I can not understand why anybody would have a problem with it. You have added value to what otherwise would be buried in the land fill and lost forever. You are not making a fortune but it is still worth your time and probably can yield a good $30.00 an hour all told and it keeps you busy. And every little bit helps these days. Keep on keepin' on.
So glad You are fighting the charges ! one channel or two doesnt matter to me,i would watch them both...
Scraping. Is important. Thanks
Congratulations to the 80000 subs!
Why you stopped working on cars? You just got to a decent number of subs, and your channel is slowing down. This is when you should be pushing and putting out videos to hit the 100k subs.
When did I stop working on cars?
Scrapping is just his side gig, groceries at $100 a bag people gotta do what they gotta do! 😉✌
I’d subscribe to a scrapping channel of yours!
Thanks
No thanks. Wish you would make more car videos. Especially finish the projects you started.
Sorry bossman. I’ll start checking with you before I make decisions on what to put out.
@@weirdbeard8898 hey man not trying to upset you. I’ve been watching your channel for a long time. At one time you said you had no idea that anybody would just want to watch you work on cars back on that yellow mustang. You’re a very talented person. I apologize for my selfishness. I’ve been hanging on for a very long time hoping that you would finish some of your projects. At the end of the day my opinion really doesn’t matter. Wish you the best in all you do.
I’d rather see car flipping 😁
hang tight and I watch curb side scrapping pretty regularly
Me too
like the way you try & keep the piles neet
MTS Mike the scavenger is the king of UA-cam scrappers!!! Show some respect!!! lol jk love this!!!!
He inspired me to scrap more
Have you thought about getting a bulk wire stripper? There’s some drill powered ones that aren’t too expensive.
......Well It was interesting,
Definitely Weird Beard I would like to tag along with you on your Scrapping Adventures I think it would be a lot of fun, and keep fighting and don't take No Shit. Till Next Time My Friend 👍
Taking care of things and making sure it get recycled the correct way is the way to go! I would really love if you started a second channel in this subject go man go!!
WB!!! 80k subs man! Congrats. 100k right around the corner. Thanks for the update and scrapping video.
I recycled a yellow Brass Piano Harp once. But not before having to harvest that bad boy out of the piano woodwork. And needless to say.....Cha Ching!$ it was payday that day. Rainy day money for sure. But beware viewers , they aren't all yellow Brass. Many antique ones are also cast Iron.
I’ve been scraping off n on. Especially when it’s close to the holidays. Never know what you find out along the curbside. I’ve haven’t hit any dumpsters yet. But I use to n found some good things in them. I’ve been watching a few UA-cam channels on others doing scraping from different states and overseas. I’m down with another channel of you scraping.
Cool video. It would be cool to see you find the stuff too. As an example I like Mike The Scrapper dude in texas. He is really funny and shows going out and finding the stuff and makes jokes and punches dumpsters, ya gotta check him out. And he donates a portion to helping out bulldog rescues or something....
Hell yes to a scrapping channel Mike. It's interesting and to recycle is the way to go forward. Great work man.
If you take apart electric motors you would find if the coil is good it worth more to replace brushes and contacts and sell it or put it to use.
I get electric motors stolen a lot by scrapers. They don’t care that it cost me $400. To replace what they steal and sell for $40. Without the motor I loose my income. In reality if a guy was down and out I would probably give them $50 vs having to replace motor.
You are scraping the right way but a lot of them are thieves. I have had all my scrap piles stolen by other scrapers. I have had one of by buildings broken into and all the electrical lines pulled out cops just tell you to turn it in to insurance. It a bunch of crap. New wire is almost unaffordable. A short run between two of the buildings was over $400. Thats not all the wires inside that is just to get power back inside.
I think you should not do the scraping videos. It encourages thieves. To steal whatever they can get their hands on.
I personally think you should have to have a license to sell or possess recycling materials. Part of that license should be a background check that disqualifies anyone with drug or theft charges. Preferably jail time for anyone possessing commercial materials without a license.
In your case it would make what you are doing more profitable and legitimate. Contracts with the companies you remove materials from granting you rights to remove and possess, process and sell materials. License should be hard to obtain and hard to keep for for unlawful individuals.
Hey Dude we will watch whatever, tho just remember that alot of people are here for the cars, and will will get all bunched up if you steer away from that too much. We like the car flip content because it was nearly scrapping, you were turning some really ugly cars into peaches, However...Some people don't realise just how much work that is...thats real sweat. Anyways, maybe now the car market has slowed a little its worth a look again. Take care ;D
Scrapping lit way to get extra money. I'd watch your scrapping vids bro bro. Glad you fighting dem bs charges
There's lots of Homespun operations that have custom-built machines to strip wire. All you need is an old boat trailer to get started. Designing, building, and operating machines like that would dovetail nicely with the scrapping content. But please put on a pair of gloves
loved it, if you do make a scrapping channel, I will hit the subscribe button immediately. 👍👍👍👍👍
Mike that motor looks like it could still do some work for your shop which has a much higher value than scrap cash both for the garage and the show. Recycling can mean reusing as in, some new home grown piece of equipment that has been repurposed from your scrap pile. I'm dead certain people would love to watch your ingenuity cobble together tools for your work that seem to laugh at the professional offerings prices. That is indeed the allure of your show, people love watching you create wonderfulness from scrap materials sources on your property. The items used generally have a nice story about where and when you got them and a mention at job's end how well free stuff worked into the build. Your use of scrap makes low budget watchers hopeful that maybe they too could one day own... Scrap is a whole new business where your creative talents would find so little use. It's a numbers game owned by the scale owners. So what's your goal, to become a scale owner?
Love ya man ! Get some cheap gloves, I cringe at the thought of slicing and dicing the hands. I did lotsa recycling before my community decided to criminalize certain non-ferrous metal scrapping due to thieving lowlifes. The community started treating us all like criminals several years ago. Last time I took in a load of stainless they had a cop at the scrapyard running my drivers license and causing a big wait.
They ended up requiring a fee to be a registered scrapper.
Mike _ I appreciate and highly respect any and all the UA-cam content you put out, I'll watch it all. Thanx 4 your videos.
And law enforcement wonders why we, John Q. Public loathe them. Instead of actually earning his pay, he goes after someone he thinks will be an easy mark so he can run back to his den and show his boss and go look, I nabbed a dumpster diver, a true menace of society. And I know because of the actions of this dedicated officer of the people, I'm going to sleep better knowing that junk in dumpsters will not be lifted out and repurposed other than to go to the landfill and fill a hole in the earth. This dedicated officer deserves both a raise and promotion to Chief Idiot.
Yes do the scrap channel i really enjoy it. Ive done a lot of scraping myself and I really enjoy it. Ive scrap cars copper stainless steel aluminum. Im glad you decided to fight the charges im sure they will be dropped. Good luck on your scrap videos Mike.
Really enjoyed this video. I do scrap on the side. I like the turn and burn on stuff but on sealed units and motors I take the time to tear them up. An angle grinder with a zip disk and chop saw is all I really need. My neighbor does scrap as a pro and he taught me quite a bit. He also buys all my copper wiring at the scrapyard price. I am putting a load together of clean auto cast and aluminum breakage to take to the big city next week. - Jamie
Dropped away from your channel when you stopped doing car flips. Back now for a few scrapping days to see. This whole notion of government injecting a needle at every point in a person's life and extracting cash (legal crap) is really starting to piss me off.
The way majority of people view scrapping ir terrible. All it is is Recycling that you get paid for. People look down on scrappers but they are keeping material out of landfills. America is behind in what we see as useless and just throw it a away.
