Once upon a time, the owner of a VCR was the richest man... how quickly time flies. I saw the first videos in a video salon in 1989, I watched Tom and Jerry, the cost for 1.5 hours was 1 ruble) they gave juice and cake

Thubprint I'm your biggest fan and most studious follower. I only have a bicycle, of course I only take copper and brass. I anticipate I'll have the cash for a van within a year. Everything I know about scrapping, I learned it from you. I first subscribed your channel about 2 years ago. Now I've got my own channel and I wish to thank you.

I've just recently gotten into recreational scrapping, and I gotta say chopping transformers in half with a hatchet has been an EXTREMELY satisfying addition to my daily routine.

@Mezox13 4 месяца назад

I must say of all the scrapping channels I have looked at yours is the most entertaining and I have found my self binging your videos. I think it's because the adventure is more important than just the cashing in of stuff. And yes I understand the need to know that some things are not worth the time it take to strip I find its more important to me to see the adventure. Keep it up @Thubprint you have made a fan of me. Ps please don't take my cord of motor I still work.

I LOVE the videos where you scrap and then melt and pour!!!!! I like the devil-forge melts even more than the torch melts but both are great! It's 2 channels in 1!!! Happy and safe scrapping. You did the thing. Getting followers and editing and preparing for videos is a huge job. Great job sir!!

I remember when we first had one! All the neighbours came round to watch a film on a Trinitron TV (I think it was a 20 inch screen. 🤣

I see you updated the cash out at the end of the video. Originally, you had it at a dollar per pound of tin shred.

Love the video. Good editing quality. I may do some VCR's if I get bored. I throw on Netflix, sit on the floor with an electronics scrap on cardboard and slowly take things apart. Even got my 7 year old helping me take things apart. Work on our fine motor skills, use of tools, improving my stripping skills, and making a few bucks. :) Thanks again!

Nice job Sir. If you are old enough, you can remember when only your wealthiest friends had an actual VCR in their home...... My how things change..... I paid something like $450 USD for a really nice brand new 4-head stereo hi-fi VCR once... Back when $450 was real money.... My rent was $425 at that time.... Heh heh heh!!! If you felt like it.... Just throwing it out there, but if you wanted a really nice copper bar, polish it up, and spray it with clear lacquer.... It'll stay nice forever....

How are you staying so healthy through that cold weather up there. I struggle in the south winters lol.

@jjchouinard2327 4 месяца назад

Hey Thub, just curious, what is the ratio of items you resell vs items you scrap. Electronics is a good example of items that can go in either direction.

@CalTy-vg3cj 4 месяца назад

What’s up scrappa I really couldn’t what u said after steel bin something about it doesn’t have to be really clean to be ? That’s where I got lost so u mind elaborating

@jeefberky2142 Месяц назад

Hello new subscriber and new to scrapping. What would you say is the cost of fuel to melt the average small ingot?

@thubprint Месяц назад

I find it’s about 10-20% of the tank to blast the kiln for the 15min it takes, so roughly $3-5. It’s pretty significant

I scrapped a VCR just last week. The guts was mostly plastic. Not worth the time at all.

That is what u gotta tell yourself if you have free time and nothing better to do sure every little bit counts but its not very rewarding for the time put in
