$7000 Copper Scrap out. Massive Shop Scrap Out Pt.3 

Thanks I appreciate you watching and the comments 👍

Thanks 👊

I paid $250 for the stripper. lol

I wouldn't mind a look brother

That sounds cool, I would defiantly like to see the video of that.

I used to work in a copper cookie cutter manufacturing company. In order to get them nice and bright & shiny, we put them in a machine that vibrated & rotated and had odd shaped ball bearings & a mild detergent. After they were in it for 20 minutes, they came out looking better that polished gold! So yeah, I can see how your method wound work as well. Except your way is WAY more budget friendly! 😋

@@MrLemaire1 That sounds like a cool job, Did you get lots of scrap copper?

@@ProjectShopFl unfortunately no. The owners kept that. I was in charge of the crimping & cutting machines and there was quite a bit of scrap each day. Of course that was back in ‘01 when # 1 copper was back and forth between 75¢ & $1.25/lb. They were getting 70lb. rolls of copper flat stock for about $70 (on average). BTW, I’ve been subscribed & watching since like 2020 when you were doing everything outside under that carport, behind your house. Every video you’ve made has been enjoyable & educational. There are days that I just play ones I’ve already watched in the past just to have background noise. I’d LOVE to be able to have a shop that’s even just a fraction of the awesomeness that your shop is. 😎✌🏽👍🏽

Thanks

Thanks 👊

Thank you!

👊

👍👊

Thank you, I might just try one. lol

👊👍

Thanks for the suggestion

👍

😂😂😂 Sometimes you get that one. lol

It’s probably not worth the time time is money

I will test one and see.

I've been thinking of trying that be like a local processor.

ps : sorry for my inglish but i’m italian 😅

Thanks!

Not that I found.

Was thinking the same thing. 👊

Not sure but I think it would not do much

Probably but not enough to matter.

I don't think that will make it worth more $$$

Thanks for the suggestion

I do sell it, right after I strip it. lol

Electrical contractors.

I pay local market prices and process the copper as fast as possible and sell it as fast as possible so I don't lose if the market starts to go down.

Ok

He does it beacuse of the dust nothing Hazzarous

If there is a chance of metal partials becoming airbourn then a mask is minium requirement a respirator would be better because some of the dust causes cancer much like asbestos and dusk mask will not cut it. Hope this helps brother.

I think there is a resin and sometimes what looks like fiberglass. When my press breaks them it produces a dust cloud. I'm usually breaking a few 100 and when I'm done there is dust everywhere. I would highly recommend a respirator and not just a dust mask.

@@ProjectShopFl thank you, I will start wearing mine then I only do 50 or so at a time but rather be safe then sorry

Thanks

I think you are right. I'm still on the fence, I might do just one bar and see how much time and effort it is.

✌

@@ProjectShopFl Was just about to suggest that... it never hurts to see how much effort is involved.

Electrical contractors.

Electrical contractors

@@ProjectShopFl I wonder I can go around ask Electrical Contractors thanks

How much do you pay?

He has been working on some motor jobs.

Nice! 👊

Thank's

Anytime brother ❤️👌💯

Thanks for the suggestion

Ok are you in south FL?

@@ProjectShopFl I grew up in the NW section of Miami/Dade County, from the late 50's to the 90's ! I live in N. Carolina now but my sister is still down there in Hollywood. I'm thinking of going down there for a vacation soon and do some diving ! What you got in mind ?

You tend to build a rapport with yards when you bring in huge loads of copper. Most yards will take it. Most yards if not all will have a record of what you bring in the case of a report of said item being stolen. Otherwise they usually don’t ask questions

About a month ago I came in with a. Truck load of 750 mcm underground power cable(aluminum with some copper strands ) at first sight my buddy at the yard looked at me funny. I bring in loads of wire but this was damn near 1000 pounds. He said is that all copper? I laughed and said no. He said well I was told to be on the lookout for some 750 mcm COPPER wire because someone stole 800 ft of it from a cell phone tower. Obviously it wasn’t me but if there is a report of something stolen they are told to be on the lookout lol

If you have never been there before and bring in a lot of copper. Questions will be asked. After a few trips and talking with the guys they will know what you do and won't ask questions.

Not where I go, I've been dealing with the same yards since I started. They watched me grow from 5 gallon buckets of transformer copper to trailer loads of scrap. lol

Thanks for the suggestion
