I apologize for a lengthy video, but I feel there was a good amount of info shared that may help other scrappers or people who are interested in scrapping, and some pretty cool torching clips. The total weight for this job should be close to 40 tons, I'm keeping a total so far. Thank you for watching I hope you enjoy
from marking the steel to cutting it we are learning something, please dont put yourself down Jimmy we love your videos bro, shame there aint more of them.
Jimmy you are the real deal 👌 with a real deal setup 💯. The videos of yours that I've watched is a very good indicator, being that you deserve every dime you make from your scrap hauls. I can tell you know what you are doing!
Hey there! Thank you for such a positive comment ! I do work hard for every dollar I get and its refreshing to hear someone can see that! Thank you for watching and commenting I'm glad you're enjoying the show
Got to just love that Scrapper's Hand Book!!!! Am glad to see it's advise worked out and you didn't end up taking a tumble off the top of that structure.
I'm about 75% done now and I've used 4 oxygen and 2 acetylene but I use the torch more than just on this job so not sure what actual usage for just this job is
@@1320LUV save yourself time and money and use Oxy-Propane. I used a 100lb propane tank for an entire year of scrapping. That's about $60 give or take to fill. It also cuts much better once you figure out how to do it.
To anyone with a doubt about propane VS acetylene (other gases in a minute!) consider this! Propane is about 900 degrees less than Acetylene which means almost NOTHING in a scrapyard sense! A few seconds more to pre-heat is all. Once you go lever, you are JUST AS FAST! Acetylene is for SHOPS because of clean slag-less edges, accurate kerfs with little melt-over, etc. I taught many scrap burners and I tell them "THIS TORCH IS AN AXE NOT A SAW!!" in showing lead-in and the "forest fire effect". This is the key as some of you may know!................Propane torch tips can take abuse, the "roar" of a burn-back into the head is a constant problem with immersion of the torch into or too close (necessary at times" to the work with acetylene. The tanks are massive, expensive, and actually dangerous to have in an abusive environment. Chemically speaking acetylene molecules use a huge amount of oxygen for the actual flame to burn correctly compared to propane. AS TO THE GASES LIKE PROPYLENE, MAPP, OR OTHERS i THINK THEY ARE NOT WORTH THE EXPENSE. I NEVER encountered them in my work!!! The tips are not inset much and they get beat up pretty fast. The edge of these gases and especially of acetylene is the RAPID flame front THEY HAVE. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO DELIVER AN INTENSE HEAT IN A TINY AREA, WHICH IS WHERE ACETYLENE IS KING!!!
Brother i used a 4ft propane torch when I was scrapping back 10 years ago. You can get a big propane tank that will last weeks if not months. You will love it. New sub here👊
Did that work for about 8 years in Germany. Worked at a scrap yard in between jobs cutting steel. Dismantling factory machinery and large tanks mostly. You should buy a scrapper cutting torch, the start at about a meter long, have a 45 angled head. Makes life easier. Propane is better that acetylene for this work in my opinion.
Hahaha there was alot of talking in this video which I generally try not to do.... I'm glad you're enjoying the show thank you for watching and commenting
Another great video , I was going to say from the dynamic duo , but seem to be missing the other part of the duo , hope he,s ok . Your videos could never be too long , you can turn your hand to most things you are presented with and that is a great way to run your business, That large gravel hopper should be interesting ! Keep up the great work , all the best from Craig in the UK 👏👍👍👍
Thank you! Theres really nothing for badger to do while I'm torching. I'm almost done with the job now and thankfully the big hoppers are over with.... they are always the worst part of that companies demo jobs
What did your prices do for September? Here in Eastern Iowa they sank to $40/ton for shred, including car bodies. #1 iron prepped is $80/ton. Not looking good for next month either. I've officially switched from paying for scrap to charging for the service.
We just took a big hit. Luckily this new yard still pays me contractor pricing after 2 years of not coming lol but tin is $95 a ton and prepared #1 is $165
I love working with steel! whether I'm cutting it, welding it and making old steel that had a former life as one thing and making it into something totally different giving it a new lease on life, I would love a scrap job cutting stuff up like this with a torch! it's like getting paid twice!
Pretty cool job to get. Glad you answered my question because I was wondering what the acetylene cost would be for a big job like that. But there was something missing from this video, I just cant put my finger on it...lol
Nice Clean Scrap I Always Used Propane With oxygen Cutting Scrap metal Last longer and works out cheaper keep those Bucks Rolling that hopper if concrete inside we used to light fire in them it will free it off Great Video thanks have a good one
I've been tempted to switch to propane, used it a couple times very briefly. The concrete is fly ash powder inside that tank I just cut it in half today. Very dusty nasty stuff. Had concrete boogers in my nose all day from it hahahaha
suggestion : get a bigger torch or a plasma cutter it will help cut stuff faster. only a suggestion not trying to tell you what to do. also are you wearing cutting glasses or goggles? and last suggestion have someone there when climbing it helps having someone that doesn't have the wind knocked out of him to call 911.
All is good bud 👍thank you for advice..... I have a #3 tip in that small torch but keep the oxy and acetylene low so it doesnt use as much.... it takes a little more time to heat up metal but the bottles last longer from my experience. I'm very cheap as well that's why I haven't bought a 4 or 5 foot demo torch lol there like $500 and I would only use it 2 or 3 times a year. Just like buying a winch for my deck over trailer im too cheap so i keep using come-a-long lol. I'm glad you're enjoying the show thank you for watching and commenting
@@1320LUV being cheap i understand lol. we enjoy watching your video's, we save them for friday night normally because theres never anything worth watching on t.v, so your video's are like a cheap night on the town lmao
@@1320LUV yep, we normally wait to get about 6 of your video's so we can watch them, and we do it on a 72 inch screen so it's sort of like watching you from the car window lol oh just a short note from g/f she thinks your both nuts and laughs at some of the stuff you say and do.
man where u scrapping at i know every state prices are differnt but right now here in louisiana the prices is the lowest its ever been an im getting 12 a 100lbs an im mad about......use to get 15 a 100 yr an a half ago......
This was a great video and that's a lot of steel to cut , looked like you could of used a welders shirt ( the leather long sleeve) . I saw the hot metal get your shirt . Also was wondering where is your sidekick ?
Good video, looks like some of my scrap heap I’m cutting haha! Thank you for sharing always nice to see your videos I should have some new stuff uploaded soon if you watch my scrap videos. Keep up the good work!!!
@@1320LUV sometime we don't think when we start to work.but i am just saying for your safety as i want more videos from this channel.and your family wants you.
Where is all the copper cable and the motors ,that concrete mixer have a big electric panel with all the comands for the mixer. Good movie,keep it up!!!👍👍
I have cut for 40 years! Super-heavy industrial jobs for scrap-yards. Mill rolls. Locomotives. Hammer bases 8 feet thick. Enormous bridge built-up girders. Railroad cars. Barges. I have been around the world on this shit! There are a million hazardous moves a high-burner can make! (a lay-down burner is one who cuts in a burn field. The high burner dismantles like you do. NOT necessarily "up high" in the air- it's just a generic term!). I saw you make what is a potential dangerous move. You might have known that and considered what I am about to say, but for a novice watching your videos it is a point to make. At about 15:52 there is a hazard there. IF THERE WAS NOTHING TO CATCH THE END OF THE BEAM LIKE THE DECK BELOW, to cut the top first, web second, and then finish with the base pulling the torch towards you, will set up a potential tragedy! The beam will eventually POSSIBLY RAPIDLY SWING DOWN and a pendulum effect will swing it back further than 90 degrees down, it can break off, and since your last metal bit hanging on is closest to you, that beam section will rotate counter-clockwise on its way down and IF that beam breaks loose it will somersault TOWARDS you and land on your legs, hit your body, or knock you down!!! What I would do is this. MAKING SURE A SUDDEN DROP FROM HORIZONTAL is what I want and is actually safe and clear to do, is cut the bottom first, down or up the web next, and then the top from one side to a spot close to the middle, finish the cut from the other side to meet in the middle. At some point the beam section will break loose and shoot STRAIGHT DOWN! NOW I AGREE CUTTING THAT SECTION THE WAY YOU DID WAS CORRECT, but you have high skills I am sure, and you can turn your videos into "tricks of the trade" like a safety lesson, for the novices out there!!! How about the time I knew a guy cutting a cement mixer with a far-forward engine over the front axle and the rear with a large over-hang! He cut the frame in the middle, reaching OVER the frame to cut the LAST cut on the other side, figuring the frame would drop, and INSTEAD EACH SECTION FLEW UP IN THE AIR AND SERIOUSLY INJURED HIM WHEN HE WAS FLUNG IN THE AIR AFTER A BODY-SLAM! He should have considered this possibility!!!
What Carlos said is a good way. I had a friend that was strictly in resale of storage unit items etc. And he rigged up a washing machine motor to a metal 5 gallon bucket and put used motor oil in it then 3/4 wash gravel then tools and it worked surprisingly well. It's an overkill for homeowner but at the rate he was finding mistreated tools it was perfect. Thank you for watching and
Yes it would be cheaper, I've used it several times just never made the switch. Also I've never used it for anything thicker than 1/4 inch. Acetylene is hotter with less oxygen usage and propane is just as hot but need to turn up the oxygen. Oxy acetylene is generally around 20psi oxy and 7psi acetylene and oxy propane is 40psi oxy 10psi propane. Everyone generally has different psi preferences, these are just ball park. Thank you for watching and commenting
Nice one Jimmy you need some off those jobs. A bit off that cat walk make nice grill for backhoe for you. Any news on the bits or you carnt make it happen. Great video as normal but we're was the top man on holiday. Great video thow. From Andy in UK
Yes ALOT of nice usable pieces! I haven't forgot about you, just cant find time to box and ship but I will get it to you. There wasnt really anything for badger to do while I'm torching
One of your best videos, Looks like you’ve got oxyacetylene but I recently got a oxypropane cutting torch. At the bottom it’s got some debris in the filter is it safe to use? ( really don’t know much about oxypropane cutting but am trying to learn)
I've used a friends oxy propane a couple times and didnt really like it due to doesnt seem as hot as acetylene but maybe his wasnt set up right. I wish I could give you some info but I know very little about oxypropane. Thank you for watching and commenting
So you get the steel for free as long as you cut it up ? 🤔 is that the deal ? 😉 and what do you think of your GoPro ? you still on board with it or junk ? 🤔
Yes steel is free as long as I remove..... the company rents a dumpster and I'm responsible to clean up any trash after the job is done. Gopro is good except for extreme heat over 100°
I have done my share of scrapping it is a hard Labor intensive job but have made loads of cash & Still do we have the equipment Dat can handle any job we get & we also have the trucks & trailers to haul anything we get into

Why using Acetylene to cut it rather than Propane which would surely be cheaper?
That's what I was thinking. Propane is all I use anymore.
Acetylene burns hotter dose it not?
@@Bighoss9.51 Not sure, but I think it does. All I know is propane cuts faster and thicker steel. That's the reason I don't use acetylene anymore.
Yes it would be cheaper, I've used it several times just never made the switch. Also I've never used it for anything thicker than 1/4 inch. Acetylene is hotter with less oxygen usage and propane is just as hot but need to turn up the oxygen.

No $8.50/ one hundred pounds

Yes, I marked out all the cuts first then cut them to avoid having to turn torch on and off unnecessarily.
