Scrapping out an AC Condenser Unit for copper & aluminum 

The round cylindrical thing with the wires is called a Start Capacitor and they will hold high voltage electricity long after they've been unplugged. Be careful of capacitors. Short them together with a screwdriver or something first thing...

Doing great Okie Scrapper❤

I like the stuff you talk about

I have learned quite a bit from your contents. I am a hobbyist scraper. Gives me something to do to relax. I use a angle grinder with a thin blade to cut metal. It will whip right through the copper pipes and less jarring. I'd like to see how you cut down the compressor from the A/C unit. I make 3 cuts, but always interested in how others do it. I get about 6 pounds of copper from one. I like to know what metals are available from these, as I am still learning. Thank you again!

You could get fridge or air conditioning compressors and turn old burnt out air compressors into silent ones, they are quite expensive to buy online, and then sell them for a small profit.

Looks like alot of hard work 💪

I love your videos ! Decent week so far walking back and forth to work up at OU.. Keep up the awesome work brother.

I was going to say silver on the timer and breakers and then you mentioned it .

Good stuff you've got there buddy👍

I save those top grates for the burn barrel

You could make a wire stripper to increase your profits

I’m confused on why I’m having such a good time watching this. I Love taking stuff apart but I’m not a fan of putting things back together. Maybe that’s why. 😂 I’m subing, I gotta see more.

Get yourself some bolt cutters and you could cut those tubes instead of Sawing.

Is ur heater a electric or propane? Ive seen them at northern tool

I’m going to start doing videos if you can support it. I do a lot of melting metals

I started to laugh when you were thinking about using the hoist to put it on the table, I do similar stuff all the time because I don't like bending over. lol In situations like this I would use a step stool or something to flip the unit on to gain height all while not actually picking the hole weight of the unit up then flip it on to the table. nice video

hey Allen if ya lived closer to me i would spend a day scrapping with Okie!!!

It’s bad but you can say it

iv been working on my channel since 2019 and im still not monitised

I came from Scrap & Pallet man and I sure do enjoy your videos and I did join you so keep up the good work I love your videos and thank you so much for showing me how to micro scrap these items

I cut the steel cap off each end of the rads and fold them in in on each end. It saves any loss from cutting in the middle of the rad if if its rotted out.

Put the contactor by itself, it has silver contacts

I scrap AC's like that as a side job outside of my warehouse job. I usually scrap with the unit on the tailgate of my truck so I don't have to get on the ground for the screws on the bottom. But that's just my method.

I don't think it was too long and listening to your voice is kind of soothing for someone who asked to lay in bed all day

I scrapped 2 complete systems and a water heater and got $188. Those ACR's I just fold with my feet after I cut the macaroni of the ends.

thats a big shop....messy though looks like soemwhere a serial killer would live...lol im jk ill look for a video about taking a tv apart see whats in it if its worht it i always thought no but now our scrapyard or the one i go to anyway doesnt take tvs anymore no electronics

Bolt cutters, such as for locks, make those pipes much easier to process

When I was a kid back in the nineties. We had several guys around here that scraped full time. Ahhhh...to go back! I know I can't. Sure do miss ..... great video man. Keep it up!! I scrap my tail off round here. In my spare time. I pour concrete walls for my slave trade...I get a bunch of shit from the guys when I pick up the broke off wall ties after we pour and strip. Sure...those pieces don't mean much one at a time but at the end of the year...a nice little chunk of change. I enjoy scraping as well. I seriously like to did through junk looking for treasures. Local scrap yard here is one of the few left that will let a body walk around and look. Awesome stuff!!

Hello Okie!! I just want to tell you that I really enjoy your videos and personally I enjoy long videos. If the quality of video is there then 30 minutes to an hour or so is really enjoyable to me. Keep up the great scrapping and don’t worry with a video being to long cause I like’em!

Your one awesome dude man!

Good stuff okie. Will keep this in mind for my turn lol. Hey btw could you do a video on stripping wire like to see some of your techniques

I will bet you have a hundred thousand screws laying around.

Have you adopted the foundry idea ? ,.. copper wire to copper bars

You aught to invest in a good wire stripper to maximize what you get from the wire. As much as you get, it would pay for itself pretty quick.

Brass or phosphor bronze

Do scrap yards buy those radiator cores without HVAC license?

Those kat litter buckets a good i never lose the lids

Those diablo blades are fairly nice

I would like to see a TV tear down.

I have about 20 of them to take apart still and another 15 small ones lol

How old is your cat

i used a wood blade for nails .

This was a very interesting video, two thumbs up. the young ones won't know what that is from. lol

I really enjoy your videos. I did this during college and helped pay for a lot of it. Hard work but it was good physical activity. Brings back a lot of fond memories and tempts me to start doing it again when I get some property. Thank you!

Shower stall

Where can I pick up a cheap Ryobi 18v battery do you have a place in mind ? They're so expensive 😬

BIG SMILE

@Whoop!

Ok

The fan blade could be used to make a scrappers wind whirly-gig moving art.

Ps. If you want to grow your channel faster. Show more melting vlogs and show what you can do with all the different things you melt and show how much $$ it’s worth “ w/o showing your personal business” but mostly your thumbnails are most important. For example; “ fastest way to melt copper and make money”!!! Or get the most money for all your scrap metal! Hope this helps!!! Much ❤️💪🏼💪🏼👊🏼👍🏻

What happened to the copper you jumped from cutting copper to loading a trailer

Yes video mess up.. but still a great video. Worked for me......

Always love your videos!

Good stuff you got !! from one scrapper to another watching from Wisconsin very cold and the long videos are good I like them! Stay warm

You have any old 50,s Chevy car parts out there?

Always looking forward to your videos Okie!

It’s great to hear one mans opinion on how things are going on! It gives me some ideas for moving forward in life to know that it’s not going to be so bad out here for someone!! Thanks buddy and keep up the great work!!!
