    I've been keeping my leaf blower by the front door to blow the snow off the porch. I thought it was cuz I'm a wimp - didn't realize I'm officially cool because Thub does it too!

      Lolll! I love using the leaf blower when I can get away with it, doesn’t work on every snowfall but I’m 100% for being lazy when you can!

    The portable snowblower is EPIC man! That’s some serious Red Green problem solving. If they don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy 😂

    Man I wanna do this for a living! I bring stuff home all the time when I see stuff sitting out on the side of the road. I've found so many good things that people throw away! I've picked up tvs and washer and dryers and fridges and widow units that had a simple fix to them. My wife doesn't like all the stuff laying around but I can't help myself. I've made hundreds of dollars on stuff I've fixed from the trash people throw out. Most younger people just trash good stuff and buy new ones. I like the week after Christmas because a lot of electronics go to the road for trash pick-up with mostly minor things wrong that is easily fixed!

    Heya, as a bit of a sculptor (and scrounging aluminum and copper for al/brass), I find myself wondering whether it might be more beneficial to melt the copper and brass into clean bars before selling. Not with propane of course, perhaps a forced air oil burner instead. Of course, I would never sell those metals, but thinking more of your bottom line. Namely, you could even melt the brass fittings as is and just scoop out any iron before pouring. Anyways, always a pleasure to watch you work! ✊🏻🖤

    • @jwrtech

      It was mentioned before that scrap yards are very apprehensive of buying self-pored bars because they don't know the level on contaminants in them. And there is no way to prove it

    • @thubprint
      @thubprint  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m still just saving mine up, the problem is they aren’t pure silver so if you just try to melt them into a bar you risk poisoning with cadmium fumes which are way more serious than zinc, plus it won’t be a real bar. My intent is to set up a silver electrolysis cell and capture the pure silver that way, I just haven’t gone about getting the right chemicals to do it yet

    Ha! I just saw the secret weapon and was thinking the same thing! except was thinking if it'd be possible to possibly run an air compressor and use the blower gun attatchment. Might be too much.. plus my alternator isn't doing good and I don't have a proper inverter,, is an invertor i suppose but looks just like a surgeprotector.. would use my smaller compressry though, might give it a shot!

    • @thubprint

      The compressor actually sounds like a great addition, I doubt it would use much power since most of the time the air tank would just be pressurized and ready
