    Hello again my friend.
    That's the type of Copper if I were you I'd be melting and making castings from.
    That way instead of $45 of scrap you could have a couple hundred in castings.
    As always I enjoyed stopping by.

    • @Okiescrapper
      @Okiescrapper  Рік тому +2

      it's a matter of making the time to do castings, or getting things processed. after shipping and ebay fees I don't think that I make much profit from the castings, I do get some copper with plastic stuck to it that will work well to cast

      notice the pan that I have for the oil to drain into. I used to use a 55 gallon drum to catch the oil. this is much easier to work with

    Our local landfill announced last yr they will no longer take vacuums or plastic dishwashers. So the local scrap yards I deal with told me as long as I fill it up with some metal they'll take them. They take vacuums as shred because it has a steel motor in it. Every yard is different. This year January 1st local yards announced they will no longer accept catlitic converters from walk in customers at all. Unless your a commercial company that buys converters there won't accept them. Due to the high theft rate around here. I sell all mine to a core buyer so I don't have to worry about it #happyscrapping

      that is a good way to do it, acr's are impossible to sell here, if you don't have a hvac license. do to people stealing window ac units, so I take my acr's to Kansas when I get a truck load

    Happy New Year Okie. I found that if there is an aluminum coil where the compressor comes from. It will have aluminum wire in the compressor. So for it's been consistent. I like doing compressors. No waste . I hope this helps you ✌️

    What size air tank is a good size gallons to use for the air chisel

    • @Okiescrapper
      @Okiescrapper  Рік тому +1

      any size is good, I started out with a small compressor with a 1 gallon tank, spent a lot of time waiting for it to build up pressure. the cfm's matter more than tank size. when buying a compressor look to see what air tools it will run

    I was wondering if you dont have to cut all the way around and could leave a hinge, and bend the case over to open it? Just thinking.
