@@ProjectShopFl totally! I should have done the same from the start, I’d be much happier doing limited run drops rather than paying for shopify. I’ve never made a profit after annual expenses to keep the store up
I’ve stripped hundreds and hundreds big over head transformers most of them weighed between half a ton to a ton that’s when they are still in the steel case and still full of oil but the largest one we ever felt with was from a big transfer station and it weighed over 30 tons had 3 massive copper coils in it once the crane had got the coils free each coil weighed just over 6 tons great videos by the way mate love to watch how hard u work I had to give up work because of severe back injury so like to watch people like you get stuck into stuff like this keep up the good work from the uk
Hi Derek. Hell of a payout. Congrats man. I will mark my calendar for this Saturday about 8pm for the Live stream. I'm on your team as Moderator. Be sure to send out the TH-cam "Notify" a few days in advance.
that was a great payday for you free copper and getting paid was great thanks for shareing and will watch the live feed too .great video derek thanks agin keep them comming
@ProjectShopFl Supposedly, not only do these new Diablo blades cut well, they last longer than any other brand, and of course, their predecessors… like twice as long lasting
Hate to hear your landlord is jacking up your rent. To many greedy people out there. Wherever you go ill still follow you. Love the other channel btw! Another great video.
The display inside the scale is likely connected with a "zebra strip" that requires pressure to hold it in place. Might be worth trying to press the case together and see if the problem clears up.
Your a baller, im surprised you didn't have your own shop already. 2 shipping containers can go a long way. A LLC gets you $50k right of the bat. I'm gonna sub get you to 1 million people
@@ProjectShopFl form a LLC, bank has to give you a credit line of 50k. Different states have different loan amounts. Delaware is like 150K. And with the amount of receipts you can show.im sure any bank will roll out the carpet
That was an awesome new customer!!! I just got a 300 lb transformer from my factory customer...all aluminum!!! 😭 Looking forward to Saturday, and I'd be glad to join you on panel. Just let me know! 👍👊
Brother that was a brilliant 3 parter absolutely awesome. It would be nice to see how and where you advertise as I would love to get my hands on 7g worth of copper for free. Anyways see you live stay safe regards from England
Ebay sold comps on those pre-owned transformers if operational are high and that market is strong. If you can get them complete, it would be worth checking out. More money is more money.
Good morning Derek. Bring on the shirts. I will buy them to support the channel. If this works in meeting your lease increase, good. You have a lot of thinking to do regarding location, future of scrapping for you without transformers. Does that leave cable? I don't know a lot about the alternatives, but I will support whatever you do. One question: Would a large diamond blade work better for cutting the massive transformers? Keep your head up. Everyone likes you. Onward thru the fog my brother.
@@ProjectShopFl ok gotcha. I did look online in Naples and for 3-4,000 it runs between $17.00 - $25.00 per sqft. I hope you can find something, I’m here to help if you need me.
Have you thought of scrapping cars? If so, and you decided it wasnt right for you, what led you to that decision? I'm thinking about it for myself and trying to get some feedback from other scrappers. Thanks! Love the videos.
Not sure if the financials make sense but Matt Carriker from Demo Ranch prints and ships his merch from Texas. May be a good fit for you to out source the merch and still make a buck.
Look into cargo containers man. May be able to find a cheap piece of property and where you know how to weld you could get 1 container to start and as you grow buy and weld another on. Prices may be higher now but in 2020 I got a 40ft container for little over 3800. Another ideal is come up with a money goal that could either get a piece of property to do the container idea or for you to be to buy a small shop and do some fundraisers. Or could try to get up to where you can put out a 17 min video everyday, do a ad at the beginning, one around the 6 or 7 min time frame and one at the 13 to 14 timeframe, just that alone should increase the your ad rev my 3 to 4 tines maybe even higher per month. Maybe think about doing some sponsored videos, they pay 500 to 5000. Iam just throwing out all the ideas I can think of.
I noticed thumbs up again. I think I this will fix it. Disable Apple Video Effects To turn off Apple video effects while in a Zoom meeting or other video application: Find the green Apple video effects button in the Apple menu bar and click it. Apple Mac screen showing button in the Apple menu bar to disable or enable Apple video effects In the window that opens, click Reactions. When active, this icon is green. When disabled, the icon is gray. To turn the Apple video effects Reactions feature on again, repeat the above steps so that the Reactions icon is again green.
There chances are not any cheaper rents. Maybe outside the city a few miles but it's not likely. Is there really that much of a demand there now or are you just getting screwed. Good job thank you for sharing.
Other sites, beside membership, have a "buy me a coffee" option. Allows people, that don't like memberships, to send some cash your way. I've seen $2, $5, $10 options plus a "write in the amount. I've seen it enough times so it's probably a youtube thing.
Adam Calhoun is a America country rapper and he looked for years for America based tshirt company and they are super expensive..he had to buy his own printers and hire employees to make and print the quality of shirts he wanted..its really sad to see and hear that! But good luck brother!
What if you bought a tshirt press and keep it in house? This way you can get the shirts and other stuff you want without having to go through a middle man
Man, Derek already stays up too late cutting up scrap with Steve. He'd have to hire someone to come in maybe once a week to silk screen or press those shirts. Additionally, it would need to be done somewhere that has the space and can stay clean enough to allow the ink to dry, get folded and packaged neatly without contaminating anything during the process. Even scrappers like myself would want to receive a clean, crisp new T-shirt, even if I'd just get it dirty in my own shop
There is no fucking way you could use a skill saw to cut those things. People are crazy to think that you could . They have never used a big makita grinder like that one last so much different than a saw. I have one just like yours and I know . Great videos thanks Derek.
@@ProjectShopFlA powerful circular saw, meaning NOT battery powered; plug-in with a lot of amps. It's the blade that's going to make it possible or not. Additionally, even if you sprung for an expensive evolution metal circular saw, the fact that those coils are so thick with copper and tightly bound may wear the blade very quickly, or worse cause it to heat up a lot and lose teeth. You could potentially use that same Diablo blade you're running on the big grinder. Maybe lowering the blade just enough to cut each layer at a time. That blade on the grinder is frightening brother! However, since time is money, I totally understand why you go that route.
