@@streetcopper1151 😂😂😂 It's not as easy as I make it look. lol

@@ProjectShopFl 🤣

I know I'm looking off a goose neck trailer. 👍

Always! 💪

Yes, I am working on a fork lift so it will help me in all my work.

Thanks for the advice, I am hoping by next year I will have a few things in place that will make my life so much easier

No joke on how much it wears on your body, i was a roofer for most all of my life. Still partially own the company. I started as a laborer picking up shingles ( not as hard as people think but still hard on the body over time, i say this cause people are always worried about how hard cleaning up will be but end up always saying that was not so bad) then worked my way up and started a company when i was in my 20's with my cousin. Now we do just commercial roofing. I try every way possible to save my workers backs, get a loader with a bucket, Lull (we built a wooden dumpster that attaches to any lull and 2nds as a platform), or something of the sort for them to use on large jobs and drive to the dumpster and the power ladder is key for getting stuff up quick if we cant use a crane. I still partially own but i started my own antique tool selling and been doing super well with that the past 5 or 6 years now and was something i was always into and doing on the side for fun. there is really good money in it, as people collect and people use them still. A Stanley plane from the 20's is 100x times better than a brand new Stanley of the same model. I sell other stuff as well, Antique tools and parts, same with old clocks and radios. i also pick up other stuff that i can profit on. but the best thing i ever did was get away from the hard work. someone has to do it though, but you dont realize the pain and wear and tear till later in life. Enough of me rambling, nice to see another older person telling it how it is.

Possibly but I don't have one.

I have a CV drive for it it will be part of the next wave of mods.

what's the idea? lol

@ProjectShopFl I find stripping the thinner gauge wire with stripping machine the wire slipping of to one side or the other away from the blade. It's okay when you have the thicker gauge you have. My idea is to prevent the slipping of the wire from the blade.

@@iffy9776 I have a few ideas to prevent this as well I winder if our ideas are similar. The main problem with this machine is the rollers move from side to side too much so I have to start there then make a better infeed setup.

Thanks, keep putting out the energy and it will come to you.

I send it to the local dump.

When I was licking on eBay for hydraulic cable cutters and retired Jaws kept coming up so I gave it a try. It will also cut just about any material so for scrapping it seemed like a good fit.

Hello, Thanks for watching 👊👍

😂😂😂

I don't blame to be the copper king, I came my processing table with the 2 hydraulic transformer presses and the 2 wire strippers is the copper king.

Send it to the local dump then they sort it

I buy it from electrical contractors.

Yes I love that thing. but it had a few issues. The bolt broke, It leaks and worst of all since it is single acting and only spring returned it got jammed easily

Not sure what either of those wires are, but a small granulator might be your best bet. My stripper will strip just about anything so maybe look for one lime that.

There are zombies with a fentanyl habit wondering the neighborhood

It's part of my PPE "Personal Protection Equipment" to keep me safe from anyone that has the dumb idea that I will be an easy victim.

This is Florida Duhhh!

@@janielunday5012 😂😂😂

Reminds me of the cop that pulled over an 83 year old lady for speeding. As he approached, she informed him that she was a CCW license holder and showed him the .38 she had in her purse. The officer let her off with a warning, but before he left he asked, "Lady, what are you so afraid of that you carry a .38 in your purse?" She just looked at him and smiled and said, "Not a damn thing, officer!!" LOL!!!

Take it to the local dump and they sort it.

I bought it used then modified it

I will make sure he has the proper PPE in the future.

I usually pay .20 less than I get for all copper. But sometimes with the big wire to get the job I will pay more and check local markets to stay competitive

Thanks, I have always had the guns on the channel but the last year I was going through some stuff with the courts and a cop that stole some guns from me, So I kept it low key. But the main reason is in the past I've had a few fans show up at my shop uninvited, If a fan can find me so can some one with bad intentions, Its just a subtle reminder that it's not going to be a easy lick for a thief. I am putting out to the world that I am handling a lot of copper & cash so I want to make it clear don't try me. lol

@@ProjectShopFl I totally agree with the personal protection, especially with the internet exposure. When you're dealing with valuable metal and cash, you can never be too careful. Be nice to have a shop dog on duty for late night work. A Dobermann Pinscher would deter lots of people. Haha

@@silverlicious2086 Before I had a RU-vid channel I had 3 big Pitbulls, No one came near my shop. lol

@@ProjectShopFl Haha. Mans best friend.

You said easy lick..I love it…I see that no matter where you are, the place you grew up still shows up sometimes..lol..good shit..PS fyi..I’m like 3 weeks away from settin you up on a pod if your down..next week I’ll send you my set up and let’s start figuring out to get it done!!

Send it to the local dump and they sort it.

I got it used but you can but them online

Start buying copper from electrical contractors.

Electrical contractors.

I got it used from a customer of mine and it does not have a name plate or model #

@@ProjectShopFl oh okay thank you so much for your quick reply and your help

@@rayfalcon777 You can find similar ones online, look for blue rock or copper mine.

@@ProjectShopFl awesome

I send it to the trash.

Yes I have something in the works.

@@ProjectShopFl cool cool

This is part time so finding help is always an issue for me. Years ago I had 5 people working for me, the stress for me came from unreliable workers, unskilled, or drug & drinking problems. I could not keep with all my customers so I fired everyone and only take on the work I can handle myself. Sometimes The hours are crazy but I don't think could never work for someone again.

​@@ProjectShopFl never say never, you can have some great offers starting from this channel, it's very hard to have times for your great projects when you are a one men team, so you never know when a good oportunity will come.

@@lorand-edmondiszlai9416 Thanks I will always keep an open mind buy a 9-5 is not something I want ever again. lol

You are right thanks for the suggestion

👍

Thanks for the suggestion. I might when I build my own machine.

Thanks for the suggestion

He is in this video. lol

Contact electrical contractors

I need a bigger set of jaws rated for 10,000 psi and ones that have a hook on the jaw so the blades don't try and speed apart.

Wow! Thats a great piece.

It has an adjustable hook.

First I always deal with the owners of the company and the wire is usually leftover or have been pulled out from a demo job and can not be re pulled on an inspected job. Also sometimes the wise is new and got damaged being pulled in and fails inspection.

@@ProjectShopFl I dont want to sound like your buying stolen copper, your posting on RU-vid. Its jut a sad fact so much good stuff gets recycled cause of people selling leftovers and stuff like that. even owners of companies. if they charged the customer for 100 feet but used 80 and then goes onto selling the 20 feet as scrap cause they dont want to return money to the customer for material not used., they make money of the the copper then the scrap to make more. if they were to save or return a customers paid material it would cost them money out there pocket. well not really it would just be more honest, they dont loose a dime besides the markup and scrap cost. I see it often, we do jobs for a larger companies and they order the material and sometimes we are left with materials and he always tells us to get rid of it or take it off the job cause of that reason of refunding the buyer. am always at the scrap yard and i hear the stories cops are there just about everyday looking for stolen wire. keep up the good work. seems to have been worse 10 years ago.

I cut it off and was gonna weld a new one on but I'm thinking of just getting a new axel

I would like to melt the copper but It's not gonna be worth more at the scrap yard.

@@ProjectShopFl sell as a bar for double or better than scrap

@@danielcarter7657 To who? Sell it on line?

@@ProjectShopFl yup , eBay , Etsy , marketplace wherever

@@ProjectShopFl 1lb bars usually go for $20

Lucky for me it's included in the rent. Now the rent is another story. lol

I've been looking for years for a buyer that will take the insulation

I don't make a lot of money because this is part time work. But I do have some AC units I will be hooking up in the future.

No, just a redneck with some toys.

Unfortunately this is only part time

Thanks for the tip.

That's what makes this channel fun to watch. Everybody wants to see the results of hard work.

Sometimes it gets paid in cash sometimes a check

Yes

What difference?

Probably would take a while to dissolve the plastic and might be toxic. lol

You are a FN 🤡 where do you see garbage picking?

He buys his stock, refines it and sells it to a buyer. He deals in tonage. Not a dumpster diver, definitely not a street scrapper.

What is "dignified" then?

@@janielunday5012 Thanks, who ever that is is just a hater

He buys his material for processing, and sells it for good money too. Something that basement dwelling loser like you wouldn't understand. Btw @Anti-Groomer what a name lol, I bet you never had laid in your life
