Here is my video of 25Kg of low grade boards to see if worth stripping down, I was surprised on the results not as good as I thought it was going to be
It's the extruded aluminium that I like. Great video mate. Everything I know about scrapping comes from watching youtube channels. I started my own scrapping channel myself so I'm always happy to support a fellow scrapper. Liked, subbed and 🔔
Thank you , I like extruded aluminium too I keep it all to eventually melt down into bars , I’ll go check out your channel and welcome to the scrapping community 👍😁
Awesome brother I got new bench top today as well much bigger than my old one. One question how come you never filmed the fun bit ripping the boards down. Air chisel takes the effort out of it. Them tiny transformers smash with hammer and cut with snips right through the middle then the copper peels off quickly and easy. Awesome episode brother
Hi bro , thanks , soon I will be doing more filming of the ripping apart , 1 was waiting till I had bit more room so I could get set up a bit better and have tools all set out easy to grab and don’t want to waist people’s time watching me fumble around finding different tools lol plus other thing is I’m still working me head around the video editing software lol 😁👍
When I’ve got my new workshop setup I’ll have couple work area set up , I’ll continue to manually strip things down as I enjoy it plus I’ll have and area set up with compressor so can use air chisel too for when I want to get through things a bit faster lol
Hi , I’m stockpiling at the moment the items that may contain various precious metals , there is a refiner near London that buy’s ewaste and any items that contain precious metals , they do a few different services they pay for items plus they do a service where they refine what you have then pay you for what was actually recovered from the items , I’ll be looking into that and speaking to them in the future and I’ll be making a video about what I find out ,plus after speaking to them I may send some stuff into them to be refined and do video on the refining outcome , I’ll have more in depth results on what items are actually worth collecting or even contain precious metals , hope that helps with your question
Love too pick your brains and get advice on how to start doing this. How do you get the ewaste. I know you need the higher tier waste license and a weee licence which is expensive. Do you need a scrap dealer license as well.
@@espjason I would say start of as a hobby before you think about looking into licensing well it depends on how you want to do it , if you want to got around looking for stuff on side of road or asking businesses about there scrap then you will definitely need a high tier waste carrying licence and a scrap metal license to start off with , but like I say start it off as hobby and tell friends and family the you’ll take there old and broken electrical / electronic items , then after a while once you set yourself up taking things apart then thing about escalating it up , hope that helps
I'm a bit late to this one buddy but really enjoyed it and all the detail involved. I love doing power boards as well. Full of goodies and i scrap all those little yellow tape transformers too. They can be crap but they can also be great. I don't mind unwrapping some tape for a copper reward 😊
Glad you enjoyed the video mate , boards are probably my most enjoyable thing to do out of all scrapping , got to say with the yellow tape transformers if I can see copper in ther I will do them but if all I can see is yellow tape and hard to see the copper I’ll throw them in the motors tub lol😁👍
If I was going try just to improve the money payout that’s most likely the best way mate , I enjoys striping them down so for me it’s more the enjoyment then the value , the smaller items I’m stockpiling as when I have a decent amount going to send them to a refining company to recover all the precious metals, then I can say if worth stockpiling those 👍
The yard that buys board here don’t buy boards if they have been stripped 😕 I am in the process of doing a video that will be on here soon on doing 20kg of low grade boards where I remove some of the better item an increase the overall value and still be able to sell the boards
If someone is out just to make money then yes 100% sell the boards as they are if you have somewhere to sell them , not everyone has somewhere that buys them or maybe as shred then worth stripping to get the value out of them , I have somewhere where I can sell them but I strip them down instead because I love doing it , way I look at it watching tv you earn nothing so I rather spend that time stripping boards instead and do something I love doing , especially when I’m not lowering the value
Great job on breaking it all down. it really show that low grade boards have a lot of value.. but brother.. You sound like you are MUMBLING. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WORD you are saying.. I say that with not hate.. Brother speak up and clear .. you are mumbling.. Great job on the breaking it down..
I just reviewed my video , by sound of it I forgot to turn on external mic so sound goes quiet when I move away from camera , I’ll try and speak up and speak more clearly , sorry if it sounded like I was mumbling when I talk
