3000 Lbs Of Copper Busbar, Scrapping Transformers For Copper, & $30,000 Of New Electrical Gear Pt. 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 жов 2023
- In todays video I continue scrapping the massive pile of electrical gear, pick up some lights, copper wire and crack some transformers. I had some issues with the transformer press but we worked it out and still was able to process a massive pile of copper. Unfortunately I lost some footage but I think you will enjoy the video. Also I have been working with an editor to bring you more videos if you can give them a shoutout in the comments they have been doing a great job. Thanks for watching! #transformers #recycling #scrapping #scrap #copperwire #aluminum #diy #projectshopfl #copperking #led #ledlights #lighting #copperwire

the editor really is killing it. pumping out these hour long vids every 3 days aint easy and they're all very high quality
Thanks, they will appreciate your kind words.
Here’s the one some of us were looking forward to! (It’s me, I’m some of us)
😂😂😂
😂 Thanks for stopping by! 👊
A different pace on a beautiful day.
👍
Good friends like steve whom are reliable wo,ers as well, arefew a d far between to find. Shout out to steve.
Thanks he will appreciate that
It's Murphy's law if it going wrong it will at the wrong time in a spectacular way😅😊
Nah just that “whatever can go wrong will go wrong”
For me it's usually in the middle of the night when I got tons to process and have labor standing around. lol
For your transformer breaking springs.....run a steel cable through the middle of the spring, loop it through both springs. So next time the spring break they do not fly around and kill you. They do this on garage door spring now.
Thanks for the suggestion I was actually thinking about doing that. lol I actually put some plexiglass on the machine
And you still left the nut off the long bolt holding the springs.........you are the man...Ha! Ha! You have taught me a lot. We would make great neighbors.@@ProjectShopFl
Thanks for the 75 mins of entertainment!!
Glad you enjoyed it 👊
I didn't notice a difference in your videos, so great job matching style editor
Thanks 👍
I like the fact you make the food menu a priority. Grilling steaks, etc. That's what I'm talking about. Can't work without some delicious food. 👍 Good that the press worked after opening it up. Might have just needed a re-boot. LoL! Shoutout editor. Going Hollywood. 😎 Shoutout Sandford and Son trailer.
I was so glad the re-boot on the press worked, that pump is not made in china and everything about it is expensive. lol
Enjoy your videos and breaking and fixing and processing all your scrap.
Thank you. 👊👍
Always love when we get a Steve sighting . To Bad you can’t afford to keep him around full time . Seems like a good worker and can be fun to work with . Having someone to bullshit with always makes work easier . Thanks for the videos brother
It would be nice but this is just part time.
Great job Editor and Derek and Steve.
Thanks, we all appreciate it
Good job Steve and the editors, viewing from County Sligo Ireland 🇮🇪 😎🤠🚲✍
Thanks 👊👍
"WAAIT!!! We need it all back. We just realized we were installing it upside down."
😂😂😂
Tampa shred 2c hard 3c aluminium 23c copper #2 99c copper #1 $1.20 . 3 hours in line to weigh and offload . Use fire hose as sleeves over you springs
Wow! Those prices sucks! I actually thought about the fire hose. lol
@@ProjectShopFl open a scrap yard in Tampa and houl it to Miami you'll make a small fortune
One of the reasons it's so well built is that if there is a shortcircuit in such a circuit, it can be 20kA or more. The conductors experience Lorentz force due to the magnetic fields generated by this current and they are forced apart from each other. They would literally bend into a mangled heap of plates.
Wow! Thats kinda cool. lol Thanks for sharing.
I like the,Sanford and Son reference
Thanks! 😂😂😂
Shout out to the editors!
Thanks! 👍
You obviously need a shop large enough that you can just have a trailer for each kind of product and sort it as you go :)
I would love a bigger shop and 4 trailers. lol
Nice way to start my week off! Over an hour of scrapping
Thanks! 👊
Good job everyone!
Thanks! 👊
Definitely love the editing … gives more videos and your videos are always fun and informative. I appreciate how you and Steve will be risky with stuff and yet, you don’t mess around when it comes to safety,! Great job team PSFL!
Thanks! 👊

Your tierd my great yank friend cause your a hell of a great hard working young man. Your avid viewer Marty from Oakville Ontario Canada.

That metal looks like Battery back up units for large IT severs
It was from a court house so that's a possibility
another great video and im glad you have help with your videos too i like wathing your stuff you do and always look forword to the next one thanks for shareing and keep the faith
Thanks 👍
hello project shop fl &it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks project shop fl friends randy . and i am enjoy yours video is super cool video thanks friends randy
Hi Randy thanks for watching. 👍
Really couldn't notice much of a difference in editing, seems like a good match in editors. Over the past 6 months you can tell the quality and frequency is better.
Just some other thoughts;
Might be worth looking at getting more sd cards to off load footage while recording with another, maybe an sd card case for organization. Seems like you can also plug a go pro into a battery bank to record longer.
Thanks for the suggestions. I just got 2 new cards so I have 6 now and I like the idea of a card organizer. I can plug the go pro in and on the time laps it works great but with the live action camera it will still over heat for some reason.
The cost of the materials might have been $30,000 but the engineering and fabrication was a hell of a lot more. Would have been interesting what it was to be used for.
It was for the Broward court house complex
you work hard for your money
I know, I'm trying to figure out how not to. lol
The local scrap yard here won't buy nails screws bolts nuts washers 😊
That's messed up! It's steel why not but it. lol
Shout out to Steve! I see you too
Thanks I will tell him
Awesome job
Thanks!
I wish we were closer If we partnered up we could 5x the money.
Where are you located? Lol
Tri-State
That would be nice.
Great video my friend
Thank you 👍
Soft cast lead is hard to find . Bullet casters are traveling across state to get it . If you get soft lead go to the bullet caster forums and you can double your money
Thanks for the info! 👍
Guy at yard told me aluminum bus bars are 6061. If there's slight corrosion goes as cast al and very corroded goes as dirty.
Thanks for sharing
All that hardware. Little gold mine there. Shit crazy expensive!!
Some times I get more excited about the hardware I recover than the copper. lol
if you'r having problems with the gopros, it might be not be the SD card it could be the batteries, don't buy aftermarket ones, get the new white ones directly from gopro. sometimes battery issues show up as sd card issues. i know, i have a channel with 40k subs and have used the hero 7 through 11. when you buy sd cards get the ones with the U3 symbol. good luck
Thanks for the suggestion. I just got 2 new white ones and they seem to do a good job.
That's the way to do it make that money
Thanks!
Nice quick fix on the press, but when are you gonna give the copper king a facelift? It’s hanging on by a thread lol
I've got some upgrades coming and some new parts.
Love the content 👌 have you considered your hydraulic fluid getting too hot breaking down viscosity? Keep on cracking lol😂
Thanks! That was never an issue in the past when I was running it twice as hard powering both presses. The issue I had it stoped returning back to tank and the cylinder was stuck out.
nice
🙂
Thanks 😊
Damn Steve has another job what is the guy a workaholic or something sheesh
Well this is just part time so he like to keep busy
Editor? where's the director I like to yell cut and Action which the action part would be about everytime yall do some Florida Man chit..hahahahaaa and cut would be only for Tbones and such so I'm available for that part lmao, seriously though Good luck Mr or Mrs Editor do all us Scrappers proud!
😂😂😂 I'm all for cutting for stakes! lol
Not sure how many SD cards you have or are willing to buy, but I wonder if you could have a few for Monday, a few for Tuesday, etc. and mark them as such or use colored stickers to label them. Then, when Monday comes, swap out the previous day's cards for them, put the cards you removed on your desk, and then transfer them to your computer? Or you could just have an "A" set of cards and a "B" set and swap back and forth. At least you know what files not to delete by accident. Does that make sense?
Yes, Thanks for the suggestion. I have 6 cards now and am working on a better system. lol
You sound like you are getting sick. Should start taking vitamins now to get you immune system ready
Thanks for the concern. 🙏 I was extremely tired. lol If I did feel like I was getting sick, I have a protocol I do, Lots of raw local honey, cayenne pepper, and colloidal silver.
@@ProjectShopFl will have to try that. Thx bro
Harbor Fart should not offer replacement if they are going to limit it, they suck!
I agree but I probably retuned 100 in a year. lol
I hear ya that big of a drop could kill a person and bank rumpa guy
Yes, I sell it quick
Λαικ ! ΑΔΕΛΦΌΣ!!!
not a bad gig tbh 4k a week is nice .4k a month is nice ffs
Thanks!
melt the busbar in to bars
Funny I am looking for a kiln might pick one up today.
Maybe you've done this already, if not, look at increasing your projected profit. What you pay your customers. Everyone knows costs have gone crazy up. Rent, fuel, food, labor. Don't do anything for free, because it's not to you. Your overhead has probably gone up at least 20% since you've been in the new shop. Just a thought.
The problem is I have to compete with the local markets to get the copper I get. I need to get more customers and a mother source of revenue. I'm working on a few things. Crazy thing is the first year I was here I was splitting the shop only paying $2000 of the $3600 then he left and I had to pay it all at an increases to $4250 over nigh now to 5k. its crazy! I appreciate you watching and all the comments it helps UA-cam push the videos and help with the rent.
Don't shot the cat❤(28:25)
I don't shoot animals
@@ProjectShopFl yeah❤
👍
Bring back the Ecuadorian or we riot
😂😂😂 He has a full time job working with his uncle
@ProjectShopFl you gotta get him back like quarterly or for your next youtube milestone or something.
Do you & Steve hang out on days off?
Sometimes, we also help each other on other projects he or I might have going on.
You told in the video you had to pay over 4.000$for rent. Why don't you buy a building or shop somewhere in the neighbourhood?
I don't have 1/2 a mill for a building in this area. lol I'm actually looking for a pice of property to build a shop and a house.
What's up with the "oil filter press" in the back?
I use to make my own diesel out of used motor oil and gas. I would charge mechanics and transmission shops to pick up waste oil and oil filters. I would charge $25 per 55 of oil and $25 per drum of filters. I would crush the filters in that machine, recover some oil then sell the filters as scrap. I just gathered up some parts to make a new waste oil processor and will be making a video on it soon.
@@ProjectShopFl ..Nice - Thanks for the response.
I think somebody working at the recycler should check their spelling. Check or cheque lol
😂😂😂
Where do u get so much copper ?😅 im from germany and nobody sells here copper 😂
Electrical contractors
@@ProjectShopFl ah nice i hope its Worth
Do you have any Bus Bar left?
I kept 1 pice to fix my wire stripper.
@@ProjectShopFl Thx. That stuff is good for polishing and engraving. Makes for nice art bars that can be sold as collectibles for a better price than scrap. Try polishing it to a mirror shine and laser-engrave it. It looks awesome.
Seek Jesus! Repent for the Kingdom is at hand! Jesus is the way! The truth! And the life! He’s the ONLY way! Open the Bible, read and understand that we are in the last days! Put your full trust in him! Believe 1 Corinthians 15 1-4!
Preach on, now let's hear a different bible verse
Hahaha “we gettin like Hollywood minus all the demonic pedophilia shit” that’s to farms funny and sad at the same time . Good job editor
Thanks!
I could never be a garbage picker...
No but you could be a soulless D-bag
@@ProjectShopFl haha, nice. Damn trolls.
He is hardly a garbage picker. He is in the business of business. He pays pretty good for what he buys and I think it's brilliant because you can see how he has got bigger and bigger over time. Don't let the trolls get u down I've been scrapping ballasts for years and there is good money in it
You dont pay your guy much.instead of being greedy, take care of your guys.
It’s negative people and comments like you that has ruined social media..if you don’t have something positive to say then stay TF out and keep scrolling!! #oxyMORON
You don't know what I pay people or what I do for them off camera.
Simply saying i seen a receipt where labor was a hundred bucks. And you made 2800. Dont be a greedy business owner.
@@lukevandermark71 you made a negative ass comment based on a number you seen on a UA-cam video that literally shows nothing but hard work and positive motivation and hear you come like a weirdo behind a screen..I bet you felt real good when you made that comment!! One last thing..show proof what you pay your guys!! #loser
Sorry D but this nut ass dude pissed me off..no idea wats the deal tryna be tough as nails
Great looking stuff good video
Thanks!
