True trash to treasure.. those plugs are so over looked in the scrapping world .. I’ve been saving plug ends for about 2 years that I’ve pulled out probably should weigh those up at sometime 🤣great show brother 👊🏻
Oh dang i forgot to comment , that thin bar you pored would freak out the people with Trypophobia out big time , but i love the pitting and the layers on all the bars you did ....................... Thumbs Up
Nice job Ralph, that is total recycling! Turning the pins into brass bars. The weight of the pins adds up quickly. Interesting to see how many configurations of power receptacles there are. Canada and the US use a standard configuration for all power equipment.
aweszome, have you think to cool down red hot ingot in oil? that will change a structure of metal a bit and maybe will be better to polish or machine and maybe even to remelt hmmm just thod what comes to my head... cheers 👍
The screams were just some people walking by, the garage is on a corner so I need to re-shoot some parts and edit out other noises often, but because they cheered just as I had poured the ingot it was somewhat fitting and I left it in 😁👍
Great video. I did a similar experiment with north american 2 & 3 prong plugs. Want to make a machine to extract the brass, but I would need a better source of plugs to make it viable. 👍
I used to work in a retail store and web shop for electronics and computer parts, I used to trow tons of defective items away, cables and all. Wish I knew then what I know now! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍👊
@@cptrikester2671 @CP trikester I repair home appliances for a living and I get to take the defective stuff home, but it is not a lot, just a little bonus. 😁👍
The bars do sell on eBay for more than the scrap price so you can make some more money. I myself keep the bars for future metal casting projects. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍👊
It's not about worth for me, I have a job so I get paid either way, Metal casting is my hobby and I keep the bars for future metal casting projects. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍👊
@@ralphmourik worked in iron house (foundry). We had a Mach repair 25 dollars a hr. He would take 2 dollar table lamp switches apart and fix for something to do. I ran cupolas for couple years we picked thru scrap iron pile for lead, brass, copper and zinc for something to do when things ran good. I had a pouring cup I sat over the trough and melted to small pig molds. Iron was 2800 degrees in trough did a lot of cooking over it to. 80 % of time was watching ,10% cleaning splash off troughs, 10% patching burnouts and holes in bottom. Bottoms were fun drain it out, Put ball of clay on 10 foot board hit the spot leaking with water hose to freeze off iron, take board hold up in air smash clay ball on leak blow blast patch over hole and fire it back up usually took about 45 minutes then I took about hour break to cool down. By then iron would be melted out then I dropped bottom and cool pile off. End of night we had pile of white hot coke enough to fill a pickup truck.
