Really nice video now changing the subject a little bit should I separate my motor copper from electric copper or it's the same because motor copper has sometimes some kind of different color thank you
Both can change. Some motors with be aluminum clad, or coated with another material, so they will likely be graded differently than your standard copper wire. If the copper youre pulling from these motors looks different, than its best to keep in separate
Excellent video. But, if I may, it could have been better. A closee look at specific pieces of red brass in terms of understanding general rules of what types of pieces to look for as red brass. It appears very old faucets, water pump housings, old plumbing elbowes and fittings, old commercial/ind plumbing valves? Anything else? A deeper dive into specifics here would help a great deal. Sort of like the detail one would give a new employee in a scrap yard being trained at your brass sort table. Thanks.
Can you do a video on over-processing? I'm working through some problems with my OCD & could use some advice. Just lost my job at a scrapyard because of my OCD. I dont blame the scrapyard owner either! I'm sure i can get my job back after the slow season, but I really want to change & be more profitable / productive... & not annoy the crap out of my boss / anyone i scrap with hahaha
I should say my personal scrap loads (just using 1 vehicle & no trailer) are usually between $200-$500 & i usually do a few of those a week. I live for scrap metal haha. I've also been a big fan of you & Iscrap since the beginning
Most scrap yards only tear certain things down. Just follow through with what the yards protocols are. It's impossible to say as every yard has their own requirements
Thx for the time and details
Appreciate it!
One of your best videos!!!
Thanks 😁
Great tips, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the advice. Will keep that in mind.
What about white brass Tom? A lot of bathroom taps have chrome plated fixtures that filed, have no copper color. But have brass weight.
Thats zinc.
@@mysterybuyer3738 Thats what I've always thought, but have seen 'white brass' prices listed at places.
This is likely die-cast and not a form of brass. Check this video out we did on brass faucets/fixtures

I have certain brass I've cut in half and a magnet is still slightly attracted, that's what's confusing me!
Some brasses can contain iron. I have had candlesticks from India that were irony brass. Not sure how they classify that.
We'll try to cover this next week in our weekly report. stay tuned!
