Glad you enjoyed it. we need to do are part to teach the new guys what we know and make it more fun for them, before they hit their thumb with the hammer
I just did this last week, found a cut off wheel made real quick work of it! Just sliced it on the top and pulled 'me out the bottom. Did the outside ring first, cut the bearing piece off and then took out the inside ones.
I've never had the caps of the ceiling fan come off easy. I usually beat the hell of of them with the claw end of a hammer. I don't have a vice so I place a screwdriver in the hole of the opposite end of the screwed on piece and turn with my hand, usually comes off pretty easily.
After cutting the copper. (which you Showed me on a another video.) I had found using fencing pliers works well to pull out the copper. My scrapyard tells me the arms on the fan that holds the blades are zink. Which they consider it be dirty aluminum. I really don’t know so I just roll with it.
Is bronze worth anything I figure to ask you sinse you do this daily basis I have a few it's like brass but week on the magnet side by means stick but not strong at all
the yards that I use if a magnet sticks at all they call it shred so I would say it's not worth any thing, but I would check with your yard, you never know about their buyers
as is it would go as shred about 7 cents a lb. the copper is $3.50 a lb. so after tearing it apart I still get the 7 cents a lb. plus I get about a half pound of copper for about $1.75 not a lot but it will add up after a while
You missed my favorite tool the Air chisel. I think that's honestly the fastest one I've seen you use uh-oh now you know how long I've been watching your channel.
the air chisel does work very good for cutting the copper and pulling it, I should have shown it for the cutting part for those that may have an air chisel. but as you know I did this for the new scrappers
@18:53 you knew what type of metal it was just by feeling it?? I guess that comes with experience, but I feel so slow trying to figure out different metal
aluminum is lighter and sometimes you can tap it with a wrench and the sound will give it away, some times it is hard to tell if something is aluminum or plastic, I have to grind into it, the more you do it you will be able to tell, it comes with time
is that like saying that the scrap and pallet man has already done a curb scrapping video? there are only so many things a person can scrap and sooner or latter they will have to repeat videos, and a lot of people don't go back into the archives to see what I have already made videos of. and always new people coming to the channel for the first time. I have made a few videos of washer and dryer break downs and I will do some this winter too. if I only did videos of things that I haven't done yet there would be very few new videos
@@Okiescrapper absolutely right but I got sidetracked and forgot the question I had for you. The windings came out a brass color. It wasn't coated aluminum wire like a microwave I once stripped this is a brass color all the way through. Is it yellow brass or something else?
@@mattyal9347 sounds like it may be brass wire. I did a google for brass electrical wire this is about all that I found www.snakeheadvintage.com/brass-metal-braided-cord-round-3-wire-cable-per-foot/
that is for sure, I run my add from March to October and now is the busy time for picking it up so I do most of my cleaning in the winter November to February
Very helpful thank you sir
Most welcome
I did thank you. God bless. Kansas
today was my first ceiling fan .Your way of doing it with the snips worked out great for me.
boy, I remember my first one. it was a pain, but I got it done. much easier now, just not a lot of copper in them
@@OkiescrapperI'm happy with the 9 ounces of copper from mine.
Great video ✌️
Thanks for the visit Billy,
OMG the cable cutters are awesome
yes they do work good, got them at harbor freight
love it
Thanks for watching
Awesome video. Cable Cutters to the rescue. Great process.
an air chisel works good too. but most new scrappers may not have one, thanks for stopping by
Good video this helps the newbie scrapers and it's good to see it when you're a old hand scraper two thumbs
Glad you enjoyed it. we need to do are part to teach the new guys what we know and make it more fun for them, before they hit their thumb with the hammer
I never had a ceiling fan... Interesting video my friend👍👍👍 nice done buddy😁
Glad you enjoyed it. thanks for watching

not everyone has an angle grinder, that is the way that I do mine too. but this video was mainly for the new scrappers
@@Okiescrapper got ya

what ever works and is easier for you, it's good to see how others do it and then find out witch way works for you
Angle grinder for the windings? Feel like that would be quicker
yes but not all new scrappers has an angle grinder
Hello. Please show how to separate copper plate from bottom of frying pan?
I will have to learn how to do that one myself, hope I can find a few copper bottom pans.
Melt the aluminum and the copper will still be there when you're done.
You haven’t got the fan on , cause you just torn it apart !lol good video thank you ,roger 😊
lol, I try not to use the fan when doing a video, helps to keep the background noise down

Zinc or die cast, I think die cast has more zinc then aluminum
I think I remember you said your wife would work on taking out the copper since she can't be in the shop. I enjoyed your video.
yeah she likes to do the small stuff, unwind the copper on small motors and things, Thank you for stopping by

More power tool work its faster but each to there own
Do u get more money if u take it apart
as is it would go as shred about 7 cents a lb. the copper is $3.50 a lb. so after tearing it apart I still get the 7 cents a lb. plus I get about a half pound of copper for about $1.75 not a lot but it will add up after a while

Scrapping and cats is a perfect video for me. What are all their names? I know Peanut Butter but not the others'
big gray and white is Mitch, the black and white ones are No Tail and Phantom the kittens are tornado and debris
@@Okiescrapper 🤣🤣🤣 great names for kittens.
I thought that you have already made a video of scrapping out
is that like saying that the scrap and pallet man has already done a curb scrapping video? there are only so many things a person can scrap and sooner or latter they will have to repeat videos, and a lot of people don't go back into the archives to see what I have already made videos of. and always new people coming to the channel for the first time.

Maybe ur cats well talk back to you some day if they keep sticking around 🤣🤣
if they do I hope that I can get it on video
A small coincidence is I happened to find one to scrap. It had a good supply of copper but it was the bearings that I had a use for.
awww yes free parts
@@Okiescrapper absolutely right but I got sidetracked and forgot the question I had for you. The windings came out a brass color. It wasn't coated aluminum wire like a microwave I once stripped this is a brass color all the way through. Is it yellow brass or something else?

@@Okiescrapper great! It'll make a fine addition to my ingot collection
What use did you have for a bearing? Just wondering cuz I just tore. Ceiling fan down and wondering what else could be useful besides the copper.
How old is the kitten
caught him last spring he was wild
Oklahoma's...
thanks for stopping by
😁
thanks for watching
$3 something? Dang... 2.39 in ARKANSAS
the best that I have seen this year I got $4.00 a lb. on some #1. copper should go back up when they start building all the electric cars
What is the kitten's name
Debree
To loosen rough screws, hold screwdriver in screw and hit driver with a hammer, it normally works. Well you did OK bashing it anyway.
yeah the impact will break the threads loose a lot of the time
I thought that was a black cat but no jus peanut butter old camera ham himself
I do have a black cat and two black and white cats, Thanks for watching
Micro scrapping is good on winter days when you cant work outside.
that is for sure, I run my add from March to October and now is the busy time for picking it up so I do most of my cleaning in the winter November to February
