Picking Up Massive Transformers & Other Scrap Plus A Car 

"If we don't get blown away by a hurricane"... you gotta stop saying that stuff...lol

Te weather you have there, we have in germany 300 days in a year.... ;-)

A friend of mine brought me a transformer like that a few years back and told me It was copper. When he brought it over, I told him it was aluminum. the thing weighed a metric ton and I had no way to take it off his truck. If it was copper, I would have found a way. I assume he just took it to a scrapyard.

Find a homeless person who wants to work . Theres a concrete guy who's doing it and since he started hiring homeless his veiws went ten fold . Especially you tube is paying him more to hire homeless then he makes pooring crete.

Car is rotten out too much

I USED TO DRIVE A TAXI CAB I HAD THE SAME BODY I HAD SOME FUN IN THEM DAYS

Didn't know you been doing all the editing. Nice job picking up the slack. Hope you get some help. I remember all the cop cars up here were Crown Vics for a while back in the day. Big V8's. That car body appears in pretty good shape. Looks like the hurricane didn't F you up. Monster storm. Gulf coast got hit pretty hard. Massive flooding in TN, Carolinas. Busted dams, etc. Crazy. We got tail whipped up here in Cincinnati. Wind and heavy rain for a couple of hours. Can't imagine how it was like on the front line down in FL. Be prepared for another round of higher insurance rates. Everybody needs to vote for Trump, otherwise kiss your future and freedom goodbye.

Hi Derek, Naples here. I was thinking about that incinerator that you have. If I were you, I would sell it for the $3500 that the guy offered you for it. Whatever you sell it for is pure profit. I understand that you want to play with it for a while, but that won’t be bringing any money into the business. You mentioned that you want to melt 500 lbs at a time but where are you going to find a crucible that large? I’m 64 yrs old and have had many crazy ideas and have always tried to hold out for more money on a deal only in the end, selling the items for less than I was able to get months before. It’s your decision but that’s almost a whole months rent plus, how often are you going to find a buyer for a specific item like an incinerator. You can build your own smelter for next to nothing. You’ll just need the glass wool insulation, a steel box which you can make, refractory cement and a source for heat and you’re done. Well that’s my 2 cents but it’s your $3,500.00. Hope you are doing well buddy, your videos over the last few weeks have been great, if you ask me You can always become an editor if the scrapping doesn’t work out. Hahaha. Thankfully we didn’t get hit with that hurricane, I see you had a lot of rain as did us too. Ft Myers Beach that was wiped off the map from Ian get hit bad again with flooding. When will they learn that you can’t build on low land or sand. Even Jesus said that you can’t build on sand, that why He told Peter to build on a rock. Blessings to you and yours my friend. ❤❤❤

Great video all you can do is your best pace your self

The first 13min or so of just reminiscing and talking about stuff was lovely. Would love to see you do some truck maintenance. She the work horse and deserves some love

Maybe you can fill in those rust spots with Transformer Aluminum.

I mostly finished my electric motor wrecker. The first video is up online now. You might get a chuckle out of it if you want to check it out. I used it to pull copper from a box of sealed units that I bought and it did work pretty well. Way quicker than my old method. I don't have that video up yet but the initial test is online. I don't think that it would stand up to them big 1,600 lbs motors that you be finding though.

glad your ok and not gettig blown away ha ha ha thanks for the video and hope you get the extra help too

That Wawa in Riviera Beach is one interesting place to be when the sun goes down.

Isn''t this an old video? I remember that you scrapped 3 of these while Stewe was in your shop. I might be wrong who. 😀

Stay safe. My uncle lives in Panama and he said all he was getting was wind and rain.

make a big oil burner buy old ally engines throw them in and get nice clean ally out

As far as plug and play the 5.8 won’t work. The 5.0 was a MAF engine and the 5.8 is a speed density engine. Also the brake setup on that trailer is called surge brakes

If the transformer had been copper you wouldn't have had been called thats for sure but Ali for free is OK.

I'ii drive an extra 2 hrs out of the way to stay off of I-95

Landlords taxes and insurance companies are getting greedy as f . The house next to me rented for $300 a month 10 years ago now it's up for rent $2300 a month and it's just a tiny 2 bedroom.

Do a Hank Hill Vocation Vacation for scrappers !!!

I thought you were going to say 12 pack😂.

Pay my fare and gimme food and a bunk il come from finland to work I'm your shop

To bad you couldn't buy your own property

great stuff Derek - love those nuggets !

What is the square footage for your current shop. 5000 per month is outrageous. I recently sold my commercial building, i had a rental for 3750 sq. section at 2000 per month ( in LOUISIANA)

Sleep is for the weak.. LOL

the ads will pay your full man lol

Why did Steve leave?

Ya I mean rents aren’t actually going up,the value of the dollar is going down,at an accelerating pace,we are in hyperinflation

I missed that Steve left. Can i ask why he left? Really liked Steve’s vibe. 😮

Just do what yhe boomers did to get ahead, pull your bootstaps up and work 28 hrs a day/ 8 days a week.
