Wow Ang daming mga kalakal
👍
Hubby is addicted to your videos. Thank you for taking us along.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
Love seein' Steve!
👊👍
I was sitting hear watching, you said! You were gonna “beat this one off”. My daughter walked by and said. What is he doing? I had to laugh. Very tedious work.
😂😂😂
This is a PG13 production facility 🤣
I have a Harbor Freight hydrolic log splitter that I use to crack my transformers.
I'd like to see that.
I'm jealous of how well you do things. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Nice to see that rack in action!
Thanks
love it
👊
Hi from Montreal! I am glad that Steeve is back with you. You guys form a Fantastik Dynamik Duo!
Thanks!
you do good work dude
Thanks
LOVE that Solid copper! Great how to video! 🙂 🏴☠
Glad you enjoyed it
That was a lot of work on that. You did all right. Good thing there was two years makes it a bit easier. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Thanks! 👊
any time i see someone in a respirator and safety glasses, i feel the need to tell them how much better it is to use something like a 3m full facepiece reusable respirator 6900- way better field of view, way more comfortable, safer, and much better seal on the face. totally totally worth it. the only problem is the straps can wear out and break, but its pretty cheap to replace them
Thanks for the suggestion
All those Allen screws in those aluminum standoffs are probably either aluminum themselves or they are stainless. I'm betting they're probably aluminum. As far as those things being welded on they are indeed a laser welding on in a CNC controlled machine. They're probably full penetration good luck getting them to come off.
Laser welding sounds cool. lol
As always, great video!
👊
I wish i could aford the tools but don't have as much scrap either. Very impressive from mn.
Thanks
That metal rack turned out awesome!!! I'm hoping to make enough off this last wire run I did to get me a Copper Mine stripper. My little drill powered StripMeister has served me well, but got to upgrade for the volume I'm now getting!!!
Thanks, Funny Stripmister contacted me and wanted me to use their wire stripper. I asked the sales guy if he really watched my channel and seen my set up. lol Those are ok for a hobby guy but if you want be productive you need an industrial machine. Good luck on upgrading.
@@ProjectShopFl 😂🤣 From what I have seen, you could teach these wire stripping companies a thing or two!!! Copper 👑 👍👊
The added LED lights help alot with video production.
Thanks, every time I ad some I find more dark spots. lol
That's a lot of hours you put in, but when you work for yourself you reap the rewards. Tedious micro scrapping still paid off. The rack really holds well, you have to give us another look at it. Now go get some sleep 😴💤👍
😂😂 Thanks, rack update will be coming soon. 👊
That cart you built is exceptional and was extraordinary to watch the idea come together. (And it's working beyond anythg I could have envisioned much less make!)
Thank you, I'm pretty surprised how it all came to together on the spot. lol
@@ProjectShopFl take the compliment, you earned it 😉
Bom dia
Thanks!
Great set up 👊
Thanks!
Great job guys amazing video watching from the U.K.
Thanks 👊
If you hear that rubber shit it will cut like butter I used to dip playground equipment in it then cure it in a oven sometimes if someone fucked up we would have to cut it off so we heated it off like butter try it next time with heat gun.
Thanks for the suggestion I will try that next time.
Great video guys, that copper is like a gold mine. Lots of good stiff, thanks for sharing. I subbed.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥
Thanks for the sub
You do great work at micro scrapping great video
Thanks! 👊
Tedious work but you recovered a nice pile of cash! Haha. I like the new music choices you've been working into the vids. The new storage rack filled up quick. Organization is key to a better ROI bottom line. Have a great upcoming week you guys!
Thank you!
✌️👍🤟
👍👊
My guess for those aluminum cable holder/stand-off things is they’re 6061 CNC machined. Very smooth finish and with that threading, just my guess. They don’t look cast to me but idk
Some are cast some looked too be 6061
wish i could do a copper granulator as i have plenty of wire ready for it but don't have the funds nor the means todo so
Me too! lol Good luck
How do you get to collect all the scrap? Do you do contracts with companies? That transformer press is cool as heck
Thanks, I get it from electrical contractors.
I had a friend of mine took a bunch of stuff to the yard today. I've been doing micro scrapping and just putting it in a pile and I'm glad I have. I can't believe how much prices have dropped on everything aluminum breakage is down. Pure aluminum, number two copper, stainless, yellow brass, Etc. It's all down. Steel is holding at $8 per hundred pounds which is about average. Everything else is down big time though. Number two copper has dropped almost $0.60 a pound here.
Wow, I have not sold any scrap in a week.
Love the scrapping vids as always. Have you considered putting a clock near the electrical outlet near the table? Would be cool to see the time going along as you work
I like that Idea. I acutely have a nice old school clock I've been wanting to put up.
Another great video bro
Thanks!
What is that country song name around 35:00? Tried to Shazam it and it said Alabama country tabata but I searched it and didnt find it
I think its call r&b vibes from mixkit.co
Are used to put my small copper in a freezer and let it sit overnight then just hit it with a sledgehammer and that stuff would installation would
Shatter Right off
Thanks for sharing. 👊
wdym small wire
@13:00 I wonder if heating those up would ease to removal? Like for example, you could pre-heat those to around 50-70c in an oven then pull them out, run the knife over the top surface and then pull from the other side to slide off the other side?
When I saw all that unscrewing at the start I was thinking you could just use a hammer mill to pulverize those things and then run the granules on a vibration desk to separate the metals. mbmmllc channel has a bunch of videos on it.
It could possibly help and I've actually talked with Jason from mbm on the phone. lol
How do you know is copper and not aluminium? First bucket I thought was aluminium.
I can tell by weight, but I have a file on the end of the press for others to check each coil
The steel that comes of the transformers, is that shred or prepared steel?
Prepared
Do you have any glass recycling places there as you have lots of glass in UK they will give you a glass only dumpster and they take it away for free
Not in south florida you have to take it to the local dump.
Do you discover much lead in your scrape materials.
No not really
I noticed that you do a lot of work at night. Is that to get away from the heat of the day or does it just work out like that a lot?
The heat is a big factor, also if I open my door during the day I get tons of people distracting me and I am usually filming so working at night is a win win. Much cooler and no distractions. During the hottest parts of the day I try and stay in my office in the AC and edit videos. 😂
Any way to straiten out your transformer cracker wedge? Appears to be leaning left. Might perform better, less strain on pump.
Yes, I need to make a hole new pice that holds the ram, that one has cracked in half a few times. lol
Bent is not broken. Keep it running. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Set your priorities and enjoy what you do. And, if you can make a little cash while doing it, that's a plus.
I'm glad you are posting more videos. Did you get an editor, or is this just your stock pile?
Thanks, No I'm just not sleeping. lol
What is your best money maker?
Over all Id have to say copper transformers hands down because I triple my money easily. Processing HID lights for Aluminum & copper I think for 2nd because I can double sometimes triple my money and stripping wire 3rd because I usually gain 1/3 because I pay high prices to get the jobs
How do you keep your scrap safe outside your shop? Around here the thieves will steal anything if its not locked up! And sometimes even if ya lock it up! Love the vids bro been binge watching your vids for about a week
I have lots of guns and I rarely leave scrap out side if I do it's only sheet steel or something to heavy to easily steel.
Where are your gloves man
I'd like to know the same thing
What kinda vise is that? It looks like my Paramo, but my swivel lick is different
It's a Woden. Made in England its rare, old and a very nice vice.
Woden, paramo, record are pretty much the same design. All made in England. It’s almost identical to my paramo except the swivel lock.
Some collectors probably like to snatch it up
@@TB-Metals I bet, I have not seen another one.
Do you pay for your scrap metal
Yes
11:16 nobody wants to buy this?
Not really. lol
Why you always working at night man
no good for you
Why not, I live in south Flordia working at night is nice because its cooler and no one bothers me.
When I was in the Navy, 50 years ago(yikes), and my ship went into the yards, all the sailors had to work 12 on 12 off. I always volunteered the night shift. Cooler, quieter, less interference from nosey officers.
love it
Thanks
