I can't seem to pinpoint what I like about you, I think it's because you're seriously comical but really good at what you do. At any rate I really enjoy your content and the way you present it. You make Scrapping not only enjoyable but a learning experience. Keep up the great work. It's fun watching you.
It's probably because he is upbeat, but also sincere. He does not pretend to be someone he is not for the camera, and is also fairly positive. And we can all use more positivity in our lives. Especially as of recently
Glad to see you burning scrap wood to keep your shop warm and cozy on these cold winter days. And you are now find a place to recycle neighborhood wood products and bits.
As someone who loves taking things apart and sometimes not putting them back together, these videos are so satisfying to watch. Good video editing skills too!!
What a pile of scrap! 🤣 Vehicles always breakdown on the coldest and most inconvenient times. 🤬 I hope it’s an easy and inexpensive repair. 🤞 God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦
I enjoy the fact that you actually tear things apart. My friend does scrapping and he gives my husband small stuff to take apart. My husband is disabled and has nothing to keep him occupied other than the stuff my friend let's him do.
Try using a hatchet like CTH on those pans he has some great videos on using it. Save the cost of the grinding blades. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the great videos as always.
-30..extreme scrapping....so I enjoyed the scrapathon. Can you let me know if the temp increased to a workable environment... you've encouraged me to do my pile.
Excellent Video Sir. 🤔👀. That “Rayometer” Could have been a Full Video Man 😮. Holy Brass Plate Batman. 👀. Safety Third Huh 😁. Efficiency and Awesomeness 💪🏼🙏🏼👏🏼✅
Lol me too I got about a third of the way through it and got too cold. It's been warm this winter in my state so since it dropped to the 30s it feels a ton colder than it actually is.
Haha I listen to his videos like a podcast while I do mine until I hear him talking about how he'll break something down, like transformers and motors so I can have better methods
I actually like this kind of video better than the dumpster diving. (you obviously have to hit the dumpsters to end up with all this to sort out) SUPER BUMMED that we didnt get to see the final cash in for all the sorting effort!! Just leaving us all hanging by a thread until next video! Lol
Oh I’m pretty bummed I didn’t get to trade all that storage space for cash in hand too haha! Annoying to already know where the money is going but it’s nice to have an “emergency fund”!
That’s wild, I would expect 50/50 to be real brittle or something?? I guess you could polish it nice and not worry about the finish flaking off. I kinda want to try melting together some of my own now haha
Thanks for this video! I love the big processing days. I am lucky enough to earn very comfortably but I scrap for fun, inspired by your videos. I especially appreciate the explanations of when it's not worth stripping small wires etc. instead of putting it through as X. Keep it up! Love seeing unusual items too, you seem to get a lot of odd scientific equipment
some strict yards if they make you cut the tags off the wires luckily my yard does not even require the plugs to be cut off. Love your channel keep up the great videos
Was told, Pots and pans are Alum. Not cast. The yard told us if you hit Alum and try to bend with a hammer and it cracks and breaks it is cast. If it doesn't it is Alum. Great Video as always. I'm a scrapper From Central New York, Retired from A Highway Dept. 40 years ago It was easy to hop in Dumpsters not anymore. lol, Keep up the good work.
Got one off those spring loaded magnets where you sweep over a area and squeeze the handle to release the magnet. Makes fast work out of sorting the small stuff, worth every penny.
This is why I enjoy your videos, you're showing the gritty side of scrapping. It's important to show when to separate and what you shouldn't waste your time on. I texted you when I saw your reply from your furnace video but I never got a response.
wait, 9:39 mentioned dirty copper, this is a category i've not seen/heard from the scarp yard in Ottawa. wonder what dirty copper is at your scrap yard
If you have significant lead, go to local car racers and sell it to them. They will get it at a discount and you can still ask for more than the yard. Racers will bolt it onto the car, here and there, to help the car turn better. I'm a racer and they want $2 a lbs for lead. We needed 500 lbs to make the car hit the legal minimum weight but I'll be damned if I'll pay $1000 for lead.
White smoke and coolant loss = head gasket or intake manifold gasket leak coolant into combustion cylinders. Exhaust gas will smell sweet if coolant is present. Loss of power due to spark plugs fouling due to the coolant causing misfire when driving probably have flashing check engine light when it's happening. Check oil dipstick and underside of oil cap for oil looking milky, and or dipstick now has way more "oil" level than usual Coolant in exhaust only will be better than coolant in the oil depending on how many miles driven without proper lubrication to the bearing you may have future problems as minor as lifter noise to rod knock/ seized engine weeks or even months later What took out the Pontiac Vibe? Transmissions?
Engine light has been on the whole time I’ve had it lol. The vibe is just a project that I parked, it burns more oil than I think a 2005 1zz should and I figure the valve stem seals need to be replaced, but it also needs a full front end overhaul and struts because it’s super sloppy. (No surprises there considering what she was hauling all the time lol) I can definitely use the vibe as a backup but she needs some money put in for sure
If you ever see any through hole IC's like that. save them and sell! Some are a dollar even 10 bucks a piece! @19:29. Silver traces in the circuit board as well!
@@thubprint you might know this already , so I’m just double checking to make sure everyone understands... the IC’s are the electronic components that are black, have numbers and letters printed on top, and have anywhere from 8 ... 14,... 16 ... 20... metal pins attached to them. They are soldered on the other side or ( foil side) of the circuit board . This technology is called “through hole” , and the chips are quite valuable to the right person. This is the old style of manufacturing, where nowadays circuit boards are made with SMT components, ( surface mount baked on by heat ) so it’s very difficult to desolder the new kind . Some keep the IC’s to crush for gold ? ( not so sure about how rewarding that part is ) but ! If you get a good de-soldering gun, and de-solder the chips , depending on what they are, they can go for a lot of moola. We in the electronics repair industry call them “pulls”. They are harder and harder to find , and what can be sourced, comes from a dwindling supply of Chinese stock. If you’re bored ... haha ... take one of the part numbers off of the chip, and do an EBay search to see how much they’re selling for . Some are run of the mill, some are worth a ton. You just have to know what’s rare and what’s not . Like anything else , it takes a bit of studying. Desoldering isn’t so bad when you get the hang of it . If you do one side, let the chip cool, and then do the other side , you can pull the chip without damaging it with too much heat . Sorry for the long - winded explanation !
Thank you for this video. Being a new interest for me, it was great. I'm considering this as a side gig! Is there a good "go to" site or other resource that help newbies figure out the identification basics (#1 vs #2 wire, etc)?
I havent commented in a while but have been watching. Now i have a issue. Where can i sell pewter and silver plated trays? I have about 10 pounds of pewter. Not alot. But i have probably 300+ pounds of the trays. So any info would be helpful.
Those silver plated trays are either brass or copper underneath most likely, and unless you can sell them as valuable trays I’d just scrap them for brass/copper. I don’t know if any profitable way to salvage the silver plating and to a scrapyard it’s just another contaminant.
Steel demon carbide blade thick metal 6" blades work best, don't have to cut all the way across the tread just the sidewall most of the time. Keep the shoe of the saw firmly against the rim to save your blade and you can get through 15-20+ rims per $10 blade
"A rheometer is a laboratory device used to measure the way in which a viscous fluid (a liquid, suspension or slurry) flows in response to applied forces."
Hey Thub. Thanks for another very interesting scrap break down video! Have you pursued any contacts with businesses in your area that generate scrap metal? It seems like it would be worth your while to provide scrap metal removal services to businesses that regularly need scrap metal cleaned up and hauled away. It was just a thought and a possible revenue source that you could develop. Thanks again and stay warm in that garage. You may need to make another dumpster scrap wood run very soon!
