That soft copper rope was so satisfying to watch, and nice to see Steve paid you a visit!
Thanks!
New saying I’m going to start using “that’s exactly what i was worried about” after something bad happens. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
steve will be proud of you. LOL. he originally wanted to strip full length pieces.
It worked with this wire but I did not let it build up too much.
Man that has to be some kind of record strip .
Probably, I've done some 600 mcm and done about the same weight if not more per hour.
That was sick Derek watching that copper dance everywhere 😊😊fab video
Thanks!
My yard would call that #2 High Grade Insulated, because the yield is 80%. #2 insulated pays $1.00...#2 High grade they give $1.85. That was one of the quickest and easiest stripping jobs ever, though!!! 😁👍 Good to see Steve again!!
I called a few places and they all said it was just #2 you got a nice yard.
I’m just imagining myself or some random scrapper taking a peek in whichever dumpster/container your stripped wire casing ends up in and thinking “HOLY SWEET JESUS SCORE” for a split second until realizing that someone does some serious wire stripping 😂. Nice to see Steve! He looks healthier somehow lol, ‘s the retirement!
😂😂😂 It's actually happened over here a few times, I put in the dumpster and I can see where someone pulled it out thinking they scored. lol
Was nice to see Steve he looks well. was good you made a good payday from the reels of wire thank you for a great video
Thanks!
Way to run the Copper King Derek. The spools were with you today. I am so happy for you. What a score. Don't let them get over on you. The best Copper King performance to date. Outstanding.
Thank You!
That was the fastest strip out to date. Great score buddy. Keep doing it. Always a great watch.😊 was great to see Steve.
Thanks!
now that was so cool to watch you figure out how to get them spools up run it and make good money from it too ,nice to see steve too thanks for shareing with us great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Project Shop FL & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Project Shop FL & Friends Randy
Thanks Randy!
Fascinating too see how fast the dollars 💸 rolling into the drums.
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Thanks! 👍
GOOD TO SEE STEVE 👍
👍👍👍👍
Now that was freakin awesome!!! Wish i could come across 1000+ pounds coppa!!! Love it!!!
Thanks!
Excellent content Derek. Love those copper Cobras !!
Thanks!
I'm telling you man, the spool is a game changing on your operation. It's a improvement in all metrics. If you get a belt on your machine connected on 2 spoon on the back via a belt or gears, you can also spool your raw wire and the waste plastic automatically. Then you just need to unload the spool with your raw cooper into the checkout drum.
You need to secure your rolling bar on the feeder spool better to the ground to avoid any accidents, I guess you figure that one out by now.
Great Video! Loads of cooper!
Thanks for the suggestion
Ive suggested something like before. I would suggest not necessarily spooling up the copper as that then adds a major weight aspect to the system. But instead "spool" the plastic sleeve as that weighs minimal. And also he wouldn't even need to wrap it on a spool. He could have it wrapped so its pulled around a spool and then end up in a gaylord box at the back of the table.
yeah, I see what you meant with this lot of stripping of wiring, in one long piece (short video clip) instead of shorter pieces. Cheers Peter
👍👍👍👍
Nice copper bonus ✨💯
Thanks!
First big run in particular was sweet. 👌
Thanks! 👍
nice vid. that Copper King pays the bills
👍👍👍
I do remember when you replaced the motor. That 5hp makes a difference. If you do the spool thing again, have it closer to the King, so it's feeding off the spool up. Might keep it on the stands better.
Thanks for the suggestion
I'm drooling!!😊 nice stuff
Thanks!
Hay Steve! Looking good in retirement mode.
😂😂😂😂
Just a tip for anyone moving spools of that size. Use 1 or 2 garbage bags on the floor when you want to turn them. 1 person can spin a 500 ft. spool of 500 mcm with no problem
Thanks for the info 👍
Nice to see steve !
Maybe you could wire in another on/off switch for the copper king accessible from the sorting table ... in case of emergencies lol
and i was thinking about all this insulation, you could hire a medium/big dumpster outside just for that lol
See you on the next one :)
Thanks, I just toss it in the dumpster that is included in my rent.
Nice haul
Thanks!
Nice amount of copper buddy, congrats on that score 👍
Thanks 👍
Good to see Steve 🇺🇦🤠🚲📷✍
👍👍👍👍👍
This video was hysterical
Glad you liked it
You could take some clamps and some spare metal square stock. Clamp the jack stands to the table legs. So it won’t go any where.
Thanks for the suggestion If I get more spools I will try that.
Also.that wireSock poiter was cool! Those things arent cheap
👍👍👍
Awesome man
Thanks!
I had to laugh at the 1st spool as it took off and started spraying copper out, you were like ohhhh shit!!! ;)
👍👍👍
hay... nice....in germany this fine wire also goes as nr1 copper 🙂 it is only nr 2, with tin coating
They won't buy it as #1 here.
Cool video bud. Keep an eye on your weather for Tuesday/Wednesday. I went into my shed to look at the log tongs I wanted to ship you. Unfortunately they don't close far enough for your operation. Their's like a 7" gap and theirs no way to modify these. Chow
Thanks for trying.
I know that you are mostly interested in bulk, but for the guys who are scrapping over on our east coast of Florida after the hurricane..., they'll be working their arses off.
Not to mention that we have another hurricane coming straight at us!
Stay safe, stay well, and stay thirsty, my friend!
Gettin your workout pumping copper😊
💪💪💪
Love copper! But I'm obsessed with repurposing wooden pallets and wooden cable drums. If I lived in your town I would take those cable drums off your hands and repurpose them. Garden tables maybe?
Yes I have seen those spools used as tables also.
They actually wanted them back. lol
Best damn scrapin I’ve ever witnessed
Thanks Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
The scrapyards and mills call hair wire #2 because supposedly when they put it into the preheated furnace the copper is so light that they lose a couple percent to vaporization. The metal is so thin that it gets carried up on the heat draft almost like a gas.
Thats what they been telling me for years.
One of your most interesting videos to date really en joyed it.
Thanks!
Dude!!! That's what I'm talking about. In less than an 8 hour day, making some serious jack. Congrats! Really nice to see Steve again. Great video. Looking forward to seeing what's next. One of those spools might work as an outdoor work table in the parking lot or some other project.
Thanks, I had to return the spools.
Well, I hope they fill'em back up for ya. 😂💪🏻✌
@@silverlicious2086 I wish. lol
This is such a great video!
Thank you! 👊👍
That gauge of welding cable can bring $8 - $12 per foot. I think I would try real hard to save some usable lengths and resell.
Never had luck selling cable, I just turn and burn.
If you use the wrong hole, usually she let's ya know!
😂😂😂😂
Howdy Steve! Great video!
Thanks!
Hey man me and my friends love watching your videos! We love seeing how things are taking apart and how innovative you are. And when we watch the videos together we kind of make a little drinking game out of it. Every time you say "dag, that's what I'm talking about, or whoa!" Then we take a drink, it's loads of fun. Also we like trying to be the first one to spot the PPE in the background. We love all the hard work you do keep up the good fight.
Thats awesome 😎 Thank you! 👍
Hey Steve
👍 👋👋👋
Wishing I could copper like that
Keep hustling it could come your way.
did someone say doughnut s great video
Thanks!
I used to scavenge a PSEG metal bin. I used to grab so much of that stuff. Made good money till they moved locations.
That sucks, but I bet it was nice while it lasted. lol
Bro your going to have to give this one an R rating with all that hole talk . geeeesh .lol
😂😂😂😂
Hey Durty D
Now ur talking scrap
Cable is where u gonna find the cash, ass or grass
👍👍👍👍
It would take me a year to strip that much copper
😂😂😂😂
Sprau a little water or light oil on that copper wire to send it through the stripper !!
Was not needed
I paid 35 a metre (3 foot) for cable like that for lipo and inverter electrical setup in my rv camper it was either 00awg or 000awg 400amp rated
Wow! I wish I could have saved some.
Maybe if they were paying for #2 insulated Wire, you should have left the insulation on the wire to get paid more $$.
#2 insulated is 1.10 I got 3.70 so I think it was worth stripping.
2nd... dang
👍👍👍
Sweeeet
👍👍👍
Liek vids love
Thanks!
Im only halfway through the video, so I don't know if you try this, but could you feed it through the side stripper that runs at a lower rpm? If this is something you'll get more often, it might be worth investigating giving the copper king a "low gear" or a way to slow the feeder speed w/o sacrificing power.
Come on man!! No one trashes that much copper!!
Did you not see the damaged sections? this was used wire and they got rid of it because they did not want to use damaged wire on a new job. Happens all the time. Also I've scrapped way more wire than this in one shot.
Rig you up a rotating wheel on the backside to put the waste in a can while you are putting the copper in the can.
Thanks for the suggestion
I guess you could do all the stripped off insulation into something and way. It and then weigh the copper that was stripped figure out what it would have weighed together with the insulation on it but that's just my opinion I know you've been doing this for a lot of years and and know a lot lot more about it than I do
I weighed the full spools then the empty spools to get the weight.
@@ProjectShopFl see that's why you're the professional and I'm an amateur that would be the easiest way of doing it I just didn't think of it I have to admit I'm envious of all that copper that you get but you work hard for the money you make
@@darrelmignery575 Thanks!
You should see if you can sell those spools
I had to give them back to the customer.
@@ProjectShopFlyou should also see if you can upgrade your plates busbar with some kinda wheel I think busbar is a better price from that #2 wire not sure about your yard tho
question>>>>> wouldn't it be more profitable to RESELL that wire??? scrap is , what 3 bucks a LB? but that wire is like 20 bucks per yard..
The wire was damaged that's why the customer sold it to me.
Awesome content that was some hillbilly engineering lets go from NYS
Thanks!
I wonder if you could get old triple valve springs from engines used in race engines like Nascar for the top tensioner ?
That would be cool.
Why is this not considered bright/shiny?
Strands are too small. Each individual strand needs to be 14 gauge minimum for bare bright.
They loose weight when they melt it, Thats what they tell me.
My local gives bright and shiny for anything stripped. Doesn't matter diameter.
Wow! you are lucky.
That looks pretty Bright and shiny to me??? I don't get why it's not
Me neither
“We’re gonna have to switch over to the other hole”
It’s too small for me!
😂😂😂
Definitely feed off of the top of the spool,the bottom would be too much of an angle😊
Thanks for the suggestion
Cha ching
👍👍👍
Do you get money back for returning the spools? 😊
No but I had to return them to the electrician.
You mentioned that wire wasn’t considered bright and shiny? That type of wire is pure copper.
Yes but it is so thin it evaporates and they loose weight when melting it.
Set up a dead man foot pedal for better control.
Awesome as ytou made what about a mths rent in an 8 hr time frame. Cant beat that bro best of luck getting more of that easier money stuff, tell Steve ditch the broad and get back to work hahahahaaaa, J/K tell him wishing him the best and we miss his stunts on engine stuff lol
😂😂😂😂
Now how did that feel on your arm?
The pulled muscle was ok but it made both arms sore trying to keep up.
@@ProjectShopFl It was spraying that cable out!!!
for the amount of crap you talk about the copper king being shit Chinese quality, how much money has it made you to this point lol you ride it hard and put it up wet no wonder its so deteriorated yet it still puts in the work striped well over 1000lbs in a few hours it seems decent enough to me lol, thxs for the vid🙂
I will alway talk shit about the quality and it being made in china. The reason it works so good is I've fixed a lot of the issues and have done a lot of mods to the machine.
@@ProjectShopFl I didn't mean it in a negative way I meant it as maybe its time to give it a tune up an try an implement the upgrades you want to-do to it so it can keep putting in the work you want it to-do
Isn't that locomotive cable
Possibly, It was temporary feeds for a big house.
I could use about 50 ft for car audio
how would I go about finding copper like that ?
Electrical contractors.
$3/ft wire becomes 3 cents/ft scrap
I bet it was worth more than $3 a foot in scrap.
you couldn't sell those cables to some welder
Possibly but the wire was damaged
I know Trump plays golf near by. Not sure how many golf courses are near. They must have a heavy turnover of golf carts. Do your magic and figure out how to help them dispose of the old carts or who might repair. Copper motors/batteries. Just a thought.
Thats a good idea there are tons of golf courses in south fl
😂😂
👍👍👍
That should be Bare bright man
I think so too.
Cooper paradise 😅
👍👍👍
