- We're almost there! Scrapping all the metal we can find to pay for fixing up the car has been going great but it has led us to here: A pile of scrap metal to process down to maximize value! Will the metal we scrapped today put us over the line and ready to make those upgrades? Let's find out!
Wire stripper I use: amzn.to/3sirg18
The motorized stripper: amzn.to/3y0JMuQ
The wire cutters I like: amzn.to/2T6j3OW
The grips I recommend: amzn.to/2QCJmYl
The melting furnace: amzn.to/3EGxT2q

There isn't "terrible technique" thing in scrapping my friend...everyone of us has just a "different way" to get the job done😁... Keep going buddy👍
Facts! CheeRs Simple Man
Kinda more excited to see you do your car repairs than do more scrapping. It's good seeing people's lives take steps forward. Same reason I like watching people build garages or add shelving units to them.
Great day. Thank you Thub. Always good to see you post. ❤️💙
HD's have super strong magnets and the dude at the shed always loves em. Those are shed guy friendship tokens every scrapyard I've ever been to.
It's interesting to see what you have to sort out. Your videos don't pop up on new ones posted. Redid it so hopefully won't miss anything. Thanks for sharing. Okies Scrapper has a v cut in the tool he uses to pull copper out of motors.
Where was this 5 hours ago while I was bored senseless at work? Great video! keep 'em coming!
There is something deep and philosophical hidden in what you said about, it doesn’t matter how you do it as long as the outcome is positive or many roads lead to the same destination or something like that. 🤪
God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦
That was pretty efficient, dirty brass and all. Nice return for just pulling “trash” out of a dumpster. I mean, if you saw a $20 bill sitting in the trash, you’d definitely pick it up!
Another good piece of advice use a chopsaw. You could put the motor with the windings face in the blade and just bring the salt down on top of it and it cut so much faster.
Hope u get your truck back soon so u can load up more scrap
What happened with that again? I forget!
@@its_marc Head gasket, so he's getting car fixed up first and extra funds go towards the truck.
@@XtremeChiliPepper ahhhh yeah. Shame. Thanks.
Even if it's stuff you've processed before, I always enjoy watching it happen. Prices seem about the same where you are as they are in my neighborhood. Great stuff!
My friend got about 20 buckets of copper i said get rid of that, he said na besides coins etc probably over 30 buckets. He jokes that hes the reason copper jumped up, good luck thubprint good worker smart man.
My scrap yard is ok. They dont really differentiate between cast, extruded, stainless metals. My other options is driving to LA which is not worth the gas. But they also dont worry about stuff being seperated much either. I got 11 bucks for 2 grocery bags full of insulated wire, 2 break pads, and a bin full of steel. I feel it was ok. What say you guys? Im saving my aluminum and copper for really rainy days.
I love to do something similar. Paying myself to scrap by buying car parts. I love cruising the junk yards for car parts. I hate to pay someone to fix my car.
Here in Edmonton, Canada, I'd take the bike wheel to Edm Bicycle Commuters. Many cities have similar non-profits helping people fix their bikes. It doesn't pay cash, but they give me their empty cans in exchange.
Love the end!!!!!
do some research on ewaste buyers in Canada. when u have found a company that pays well, save up and send them a nice big load- that would be the best way to make max money from whatever ewaste u find
nice video
i have found that the plate on the hard drives can be brass and very easy to remove.
Hell yeah Thub! Glad you hit your goal man.
great job! getting the same vibes as my beloved divinity channels always give me, lots of good recycling energies coming from this
Always watch your fingers when working Thank you for the video.
some epic pieces of brass in there! Keep doing the thing :o)
Those big wires with aluminum r looking fantastic...wish I could find some like that... great job again!!
I got a bunch of that insulated BX cable this past summer it was a great find! CheeRs Thub
Thank you for always bringing a positive attitude, your thoughts, tips and great open vibe in regards to scrapping.
Thank you for having us along.
It is entertaining and educational.
Also, I love the bottle bags 🤘
Keep doing the thing ❤️
I’ve always got the copper windings out of transformers by shearing it with a chisel and it doesn’t even have to be sharp, the bashing with a screwdriver, maybe the same with motors but I’ve never tried
I always scrap the hard drives down. If the scrap rate for the boards is bad in my area I check to see what sold comps on eBay is per pound. If nothing else I hold on to them as they are small and are easy to store. As for the rest of the hard drive.... high powered magnet, cast aluminum body, steel or aluminum piece of metal on the top. The platters get me some nickle value. Thought I will say I generally wait until I have a lot of drives. Also I save all of the screws. When I get a pound of them I sell those on eBay as well. That is here in the US, though.
Good to here your pot has topped what you need for your truck parts, grate vid 🤙🤘👍🏼 keep the grate work up
The yard near me started doing aluminum as one category, 44 cents a pound, been SUPER nice not having to figure out material, the only thing i separate now is unpainted extruded and some cast
I think you should drill some holes into your vise stump to bolt on the wire stripper. That way you could use both the stripper and the vise without needing to change your set up.
Also how are the truck repairs coming along?
Good job
Nice load to scrap mate
Magnificent.
Rockauto!
Hard drive magnets may be worth popping the drives open. Finding the screws under the label can be the hard part.T8 and a drill will get the top off.
I just ordered some parts for my truck and just a little info for ya rock auto was definitely the cheapest way to go. Good luck and great video
The hard drive logic boards are usually classified as the same quality as the finger boards. Taking a couple seconds to pull the boards and still getting dirty cast for them might add some more to the parts fund.
What do you do with your scrap plastic?
Awesome episode brother. HAVE I missed one what's going on with truck
Always learning with every episode, thanks dude
The BX with a coating.is called "Liquid Tight"
Great video
Love these vids. Getting to the goal.🏴☠
I think you would have better luck buying Walter zip cuts they are more money but they last way longer
Good video
I heard a yell from the red flask that came out the box 😂
I didn't get a chance to see how you took off the wire plastic off the wire or the cuz you went too fast on it it could go slow for the first part and then go fast with the rest of it only because I've never stripped my wires off I've always given it to him with the coating on it which I know depreciates the value
Don’t be afraid of the angle grinder I cut those motors also just like you’re doing but just hold it really tight strong in one hand and use the grinder was one hand you don’t need advice to be honest with you because I never use one hour as long as you’re very strong control, the machine won’t get away from you
It really sucks that my yard considers the brass with the silver coating as dirty brass.
Oof, yeah that’s a real pain. I’m kinda surprised that’s not the norm everywhere tbh, but I’m grateful mine doesn’t
Uhh, Crazy Canadian Bohemian Cousin, be like Bigstacked down there in the Land Down Under. Save them copper dust and do a smelting vid!
Again to all you viewers, All Hail King Trash Panda!
How long before you will get your truck back ?
I would sell those hard drives online
enjoyed as always. how does it work in your region between dirty brass and dirty copper? that toilet drain appeared to have some quality copper in it? also do you get a bump up in unit price once over 100#
I’m new to scrapping. Just getting into it, and I’m trying to learn as much as I can.
Could I ask, why is the copper that you’re pulling out of the motors nr2 copper? It’s really clean, so I’m a bit confused. Is it because of the thickness of the copper?? Thanks in advance
Bro , your dart board isn’t set at the right height
Would you ship the ram and finger boards?
How do you know the difference between cast aluminum and regular aluminium
There’s actually quite a few different types of aluminium but for scrap it’s generally just cast, extruded, old and sometimes 6063. For the most part it’s just a visual inspection to inform the manufacturing process. Cast will have a more irregular surface texture and sometimes casting marks, but the best giveaway is it tends to be brittle and will break with a hammer
@@thubprint so cast aluminum Man will break with a hammer quite easily that I take it and regular aluminum doesn't quite break cuz I would mean and then I've heard of a duplex and that I know is supposed to be like high grade but I probably got regular grade for duplex aluminum because I didn't know the difference at the time it's stronger right believe that's where I come into trouble with cast aluminum and duplex aluminum
@@darlatownsend952 it’s not a perfect way to check, I don’t know how hard you swing a hammer lol. I haven’t heard of duplex but I think there’s a good chance you’re thinking of extruded aluminium. Aluminium extrusion is best recognized by its shape. I’ve got some good examples in my aluminium video!

For once I'm not going to comment about the scrap. I just want to know.... the tattoo on your palm.... Did that hurt?!? (it looks like it might have!)

1st
No you weren't.
You get ripped off on your brass I get payed clean brass on everything as long there no valve ad if there couper on it they don't care
Consider yourself lucky
Why burry it ? Does it not oxidize as much or?
It’s just a phrase haha
