I really appreciate how you break down the value of stripped-down items. It really helps me decide whether to do a complete teardown or take in scrap as all shred. I'll at least cut off accessible copper wiring and pipe in the rush before an item goes to shred. I'm incredibly crunched for time. Value to time is also an important part of the equation! Thanks for the prayer!
@@phillipperespass4393 awesome, that’s why I do it, so folks like yourself can make the best choice that fits your life and schedule. God bless you and thank you so much for watching.
A few years back, I recovered nearly $41 in change from a dryer. The first $21 was quarters. It was like a loose slot machine from years ago, only I never got that lucky on a slot machine!
Another fantastic video. Thanks for your insight and scrap vs. non scrap prices, it gives you an idea of what to expect. Respect to you alwayscand God bless you.
You sure have alot of scrap in your yard. There's something very therapeutic about scrapping and addictive.Its also nice to know that the addiction helps the environment. Its a win win plus sone extra money SCOREEE! Thanks James God Bless
It warmed my heart to hear you excited over the motor being aluminum! I remove the aluminum windings and shred the rest! Every penny counts! Awesome video Brother God Bless
Smashing up the plastic switches with the brass and silver contacts is a fast way. Thanks. I have a bucket or two of those, many from washers and dryers. Gotta love the bonus change when it’s there!
It’s definitely the way to go and the towel keeps it all nicely contained. I’m still waiting to find my first dryer change, but apparently a few folks have found good money inside. Thank you for watching my friend.
@@scrapitall200 I found an empty coin jar/piggy bank in a dumpster once. That’s where all my change goes I’ve found scrapping. There was a man at the scrapyard once picking up coins he didn’t know where they came from. I noticed a busted open dryer behind my truck. I scooped out a big handful of change and gave to him, probably $5+ and I scooped out the rest for me, it was also over $5, just piled in the corner of the dryer sheet metal.
I don't totally dismantle the dryer, that way when it's on the trailer I can fill it with all the junk steel and other stuff for the weight. Also I fill up soup and vegetable cans with small screws and junk and put them in dryers,stoves,and refrigerators, ( all dismantled), to recycle. My metal yard doesn't take aluminum wired motors so I take the wire out and put it in my aluminum pile. Thanks for sharing your ideas and knowledge with us
That was very good. Thanks for sharing the teardown. I live in Phnom Penh Cambodia, I hoard all sorts of dead chattels and surplus materials to sell to the scrap merchant. The scrap merchant has mobile collectors going up and down all the streets. Some of the collectors even have their own collectors... They collect everything. True urban mining. It's an honest living. There are scrap metal thieves who sell the metals they steal to the merchants. The thieves aren't honest. Go figure. One merchant I know personally bought an item that was stolen from my friend's house and returned it to him. It's nice to have good friends and neighbours. I've mined my shed 3 times in 20+ years and it was a worthwhile exercise. It is long overdue for another mining operation. The price of scrap metal is the same all over the world.
I have found loose change in the bottom before but less than $5. Love the opening part of your video where you see your flag and beautiful tree line. Love where you live. Great video.
Hey SIA! First, i looked at your mess :) nice teardown of the dryer. 4 dollars more for the materials, endless fun more scrapping it. have a good week, see you in the next one! Greetings from Germany mate!
Lotta Loose change in them driers!!!! Found -$5- up before. Ok you mentioned that after I posted this. Let's not forget some people pay us to remove drier from yard. I learned about Brass, and Silver contacts. 75 percent of the time the expensive chord is included. Thanx Fellow Scrapper Guy
I have gutted washers and dryers, then reassemble the "shell" makes a great mini storage shed with a door. I use one to store firewood kindling, and one as a package drop at the end of my driveway for UPS, Amazon, ECT.
Your scrap area looks great! Mine looked similar but I cleaned it all out as a present for my wife! :) Dryers are an easy therapy session. I have been selling the motors as is lately if they are aluminum. I need to start keeping the SS from the heating elements though. I have been selling them with the shred. Thanks for another great video!
my best change find in a dryer was $12 something. I always assume my dryers, garbage disposals and garage door openers are going to be aluminum and not copper. my main yard i use pays the same price for cast aluminum, aluminum wire, sheet aluminum, all aluminum radiators, etc, doesn't matter, the same price and it all gets thrown in the same bin at the yard. i still separate by category but since i have come back to scrapping it is all dumped together now there.
I still haven’t found one penny in a dryer 😂 That’s my experience with those things as well, aluminum. That makes it easy to sort. My yard is the same way, although they do appreciate it being separated. Thank you for watching.
Love your videos, Watching this did give me another idea. I have a newish Carry on trailer that has the mesh bottom. So I always carry a Trashcan in my trailer for small stuff that could fall through the mesh. I could actually start using those drums from Dryers for that. Then I dont need to be concerned about retrieving the can when I get to the yard.
Looked like that dryer was about to have a lint fire!🤔🤔😲😲 Nice recovery of wire and brass. Not bad aluminum in that motor, boohoos.😡😡Great info for dryer teardowns, thanks for all the tips brother. I do have to get me a towel like you have. Stay safe and God bless my friend.
I think they were definitely close to a fire 😳 Towel works so great containing all the stuff, I’m not big into making messes 🤣 God bless you too, brother! Have a wonderful week.
What is your mo? I see you use one of the tent shelters as your scrap area...do you use it year round? I was wondering about doing the same, but was worried about snow in the winter...
@@joleepack6512 yes I scrap year round in there, does get pretty cold during the winter. I don’t get a whole lot of snow, so it’s easy to knock it off. I think once there was 6 inches on it at one time and there were no issues.
I just finished scrapping a dryer, now I'm going back to get the brass I missed thanks to your video. The price of aluminum is suppose to increase a bunch so I might remove the aluminum. This Ky guy enjoyed and benefited from your video. Keep up the good work. God bless ya ...
That’s great, I’m happy my video was helpful. I’ve heard that too, I hope it does go up. I find a lot of aluminum myself! I sure do appreciate that and God bless you too!
When I was scrapping most of the dryers I picked up I repaired if they needed it as long as they weren't filthy from sitting in the weather and I also got quite a bit of change out of them mostly from quarters. I sold them on average for $130 each. There were also qite a few that worked that I just cleaned up, checked for change and cleaned all the lint out, then sold them as well. I would also charge a delivery fee and install them if requested and take away washers or dryers they were getting rid of. Dryers are very easy to fix most of the time and parts are usually less expensive over the internet, I also used parts off the ones I was scrapping out as some are interchangeable. I saved dryer cords and used them for some of the dryers I repaired and sold as some were picked up w/o them.
@@DominicUbble that’s awesome! Definitely a market for selling used machines, especially with how expensive new ones are nowadays. Thank you for watching.
My neighbor and me live just north of a small city. The city has 5 areas for garbage days. Also, the area north has either private removal, or a recycle center that sells bags. We go with small trailers to get all kinds of things. People also have called since the word got around, and we have got whole bunches of scrap for various reasons such as a new homeowner cleans out the pole barn, or a new house. We also have a lot of farmers East of us and sometimes they don't want to deal with something, so they call us. We get tons and know the scrap center well.
Hey buddy, thanks for the mention, and great, in-depth breakdown. I think one was around $30 and the other was around $35. Mostly nothing though, just got lucky a few times.
I kinda do the same thing with the towel trick except I put mine in a vise. And after it's crushed, it drops out into a bucket underneath the vice I was in construction, and when we did bathroom remodels. Some of the tub were cast. Iron with porcelain, we used to put drop clothes inside the tub and beat them with a sledgehammer.🤠
@scrapitall200 The first time I ever took out a cast iron tub, I just hit it directly with a sledgehammer with everything I had and I got shredded by porcelain. I was picking it out of my body for 2 days How I didn't get it in my eyes. I do not know👍🤠
Washers, dryers and Microwaves are usually all easy repairing them & reselling for 5X the disassembled value. Dryer was probably blown thermal fuse. The lint stopped air flow and the thermal fuse popped, $3 bucks in parts. If the timer is bad then sell other parts on evilebay for 20 bucks and the rest for scrap.
I scrap because it’s a lot of fun for me and I’d rather get the enjoyment from scrapping than trying to make a little more money. Thank you for watching.
I used to sell lots of dryer drums, for about the same money you mentioned. Have gotten gold & silver jewelry and of course lots of change and the occassional bill from them also. Most I have gotten cash wise from a single dryer was about $30 Canadian. The Loonies and toonies ($1 and $2 coins) add up quick. Many of the cabinets make for good little work stations/counters (if you put them back together,) as well. I also used to save the plastic gears from the little motors and sell them in a bulk lot on ETSY as craft and art supplies. Some of the newer dryers are worth checking up on for reselling the components, as well, especially switches and such that commonly fail in certain ones.
I’m hoping one day I’ll find some cool stuff inside like jewelry. One can dream 😂 That’s very true, there is definitely more money to be made from them than just scrap. Thank you for watching.
Right now I’m saving them up and then I will find a refiner to purify the silver for me. I’ve seen some folks selling them on eBay to people who refine their own silver and gold.
Still very beautiful place you live at!! Dryers are quick and easy some times find some dryer change lol and my motors are always aluminum it sucks! Went into the full break down of a dryer buddy I get the wire and the motors and rest goes to shred amazing tear down my friend!
I just into scraping but mostly brass I work at with a Carwash company so I change a whole bunch of brass fittings and regulators and the best part brass pumps company wants us to toss them but I just carry them in a bucket and sell them when they get full use the money to take my family out to eat 😄
Did you include the drum as shred or as a fire pit. If you figure $10 for fire pit then you can take it to around $20 total. Nice information and I have been breaking them all the way down, but I do several of them at a time and well I feel like I am making more money breaking them down. God bless you and yours. It is a pleasure to watch your videos. Take care and I will see you on the next video.
Great job sir this is what I do to all my appliances but you missed some SS in the sensor this has been a wonderful example of micro scraping six stars brother
@@scrapitall200 you’re amazing my friend you are truly amazing. You have a great video channel over there on TH-cam. I’m telling you I’m impressed. I definitely want to be like you one day Scrapping With Grandpa what’s
@@crackman8301 it’s been awhile since I recorded this video so I don’t remember the numbers from shred versus fully scrapping it, but I know in the video I show all the numbers
Hello. So I broke the cast aluminum with a hammer and a cold chisel, it broke apart fairly easily. Then I used my side cutters to clip the aluminum on one side (it’s really soft) then I pulled the aluminum out through the other end. Hope that all makes sense. Thank you for watching.
That was a real education my friend, definitely different than scraping gold and silver. Very cool about finding change in some of these tear downs. Educate me about what shred means. Is it just tin or iron and the scrap yard buys it at a very low price to shred up.
Thank you my friend. Shred is the lowest value of scrap metal and its metal that has plastic or other non metals with it. They put this sort of stuff through a giant machine that shreds it and that’ll help separate the metal from the trash. Thank you for watching my friend.
@@JacobAHull-nx6rx any metal that has non metal in it such as plastic or any metal that is really thin gets put through a shredding machine at scrapyards to separate the metals from the trash before selling it to their buyers. So it’s the lowest form of steel they buy because of the trash or thinness of the metal. Hope that made sense lol. Awesome, so happy you enjoyed the prayer. God bless and I really appreciate you watching and subscribing.
As you said, everyone has to determine for themselves if it is worth it to scrap things out. Just curious how long it took you to do it for the extra $4? Sometimes I do tear things fully apart and sometimes I have so many other things to do which would bring in more money, so I just take the 'low hanging fruit' (as I call it) and put it in the shred pile. Love your videos. Blessings brother
I didn’t pay attention to the clock. I can say I had about an hours worth of recording footage, of course there’s a lot of messing around making videos. I bet it could be done in 30 minutes or a little less. Definitely not a good hourly rate. Thank you for watching brother and God bless.
@@scrapitall200 some of the peaces of metal I don't know if it aluminum or zink not alot but I'm new to scrap anything you can explain is a big help TY
@@sal-k7j ok cool, thank you. Yes I will try to identify the metals. Zinc has a more grayish color to it and it’s heavier than aluminum. I’m going to be working on a video soon showing how to easily tell the difference between aluminum and zinc.
Time - time - time - how long did it take to make the extra $4? I know your a hobby scrapper but for us common folks - that would help assess whether it was worth it. Happy Scrappin!
We're going to find out here real soon how much silver in those contacts. Ive been collecting up all the switches, potentiometers, relays and things from appliances to do just that. I can say from experience that auto relay contacts run %61-70 silver. It seems from videos ive seen from other youtubers, these contacts tend to be mostly copper with a thin silver layer on the face. Im willing to "waste" some nitric acid to find out. The plan is to collect 31.1 grams (1 troy ounce) and find a percentage. I might just do a smaller 10 gram run to make the math easier. I think a copper cell is also coming. That is probably the most economical way to recover the silver from these if they turn out to be plated
I just scrap them the way they r I don’t have time to broke them down today I had a 15foot box truck packed front to back to roof of scrap metal it was refrigerated stoves and two big chest freezers full of scrap as well I had 3ton on truck little over weight but that’s fine if I have time I do take some stuff off but not all the time
Thank you buddy. I don’t normally pay attention to the clock since I hobby scrap, but I can tell you I had about 70 minutes of recording footage. Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 Yea , its just the tearing stuff apart that is hurting my hands , Even hauling in HMS scrap wrecks my hand for a day or so but I am gonna keep doing it . Now it seems to be smoke season here again 😞 that also hurts me pretty bad (being in a bodyshop for 30 years) sure did a number on me
@@scrapitall200 Yea its so smokey here we could see it inside Canadian tire and costco today. The hand is very frusterating , it dont hurt all the time thankfully , but certain movements sometimes make it hurt real bad. I will post a photo on my Comunity page so you can see how bad it is
You gave value at prices when you made the video. The only weight you gave was the starting weight of the dryer and of silver contacts. Component weights are more useful than contemporaneous prices. Just saying. I liked the video. Thanks for that.
@@scrapitall200 You gave dollar amounts for copper, steel, Al, etc. You didn't say how many pounds of steel or ounces of copper, etc, except to give the total weight of the dryer. Usually you give component weights.
@@williammiller6043 ok I see, thanks. I can’t always remember each video details I make lol I’ve been making videos for 1.5 years and it’s still a learning process. Thank you for the feedback! 😁

Washers, dryers and Microwaves are usually all easy repairing them & reselling for 5X the disassembled value. Dryer was probably blown thermal fuse. The lint stopped air flow and the thermal fuse popped, $3 bucks in parts. If the timer is bad then sell other parts on evilebay for 20 bucks and the rest for scrap.
I scrap because it’s a lot of fun for me and I’d rather get the enjoyment from scrapping than trying to make a little more money.
Thank you for watching.
Catching up on my video watching for the last few weeks. This was a good one to watch today for sure, James!
Awesome, I really appreciate that a lot!!
Really good scrap out ! Not bad as shred but a lot better scrapped out !! Great video Brother! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you brother!
Surprised you didn’t say anything about all the silver contacts. You must be over silver 🤣
@scrapitall200 I'm still messing with it when I get a chance! Just saving up ! Was a really busy day today. Should be in bed lol !!
That’s cool
another great video realy helpful to see the breakdown of the prices gives others a choise
Thank you, I appreciate it.
I used to sell lots of dryer drums, for about the same money you mentioned. Have gotten gold & silver jewelry and of course lots of change and the occassional bill from them also. Most I have gotten cash wise from a single dryer was about $30 Canadian. The Loonies and toonies ($1 and $2 coins) add up quick. Many of the cabinets make for good little work stations/counters (if you put them back together,) as well. I also used to save the plastic gears from the little motors and sell them in a bulk lot on ETSY as craft and art supplies. Some of the newer dryers are worth checking up on for reselling the components, as well, especially switches and such that commonly fail in certain ones.
I’m hoping one day I’ll find some cool stuff inside like jewelry. One can dream 😂
That’s very true, there is definitely more money to be made from them than just scrap.
Thank you for watching.
I have been finding a lot of silver contacts copper on one side silver on the other. What do you do with them ?
Right now I’m saving them up and then I will find a refiner to purify the silver for me. I’ve seen some folks selling them on eBay to people who refine their own silver and gold.
You make scrapping fun 😂.
I do have a lot of fun scrapping, so I definitely try to make that come through my videos lol
Thank you for watching!
Great job, you really do scrap it all
Thank you buddy!
You got that right 🤣
Awesome episode brother did not realise your land was so vast
Thank you brother!
Yeah I’m truly blessed with all the space.
Still very beautiful place you live at!! Dryers are quick and easy some times find some dryer change lol and my motors are always aluminum it sucks! Went into the full break down of a dryer buddy I get the wire and the motors and rest goes to shred amazing tear down my friend!
Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 your are very welcome and thanks for the shout out i appreciate my friend!
You’re very welcome my friend!
Thank you. I do the same thing
Awesome!
Thank you for watching.
I just into scraping but mostly brass I work at with a Carwash company so I change a whole bunch of brass fittings and regulators and the best part brass pumps company wants us to toss them but I just carry them in a bucket and sell them when they get full use the money to take my family out to eat 😄
Wow, that’s really awesome.
Brass adds up fast!
@@scrapitall200 yea I use to throw it away but my coworkers told me to save it and I was surprised how much it pays!
@@FatherBug extra money is so nice nowadays lol
Did you include the drum as shred or as a fire pit. If you figure $10 for fire pit then you can take it to around $20 total. Nice information and I have been breaking them all the way down, but I do several of them at a time and well I feel like I am making more money breaking them down. God bless you and yours. It is a pleasure to watch your videos. Take care and I will see you on the next video.
I counted all the steel as shred.
I appreciate your support brother.
God bless you and have a wonderful week.
Great job sir this is what I do to all my appliances but you missed some SS in the sensor this has been a wonderful example of micro scraping six stars brother
Thank you brother.
The magnet was slightly sticking to those and my yard calls that shred unfortunately 😢
Great video brother. God bless you
Thank you brother.
God bless you too!
Really interesting video, enjoyed it :)
Awesome! Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
I like your Chevy truck. God bless.
Thank you, I really love it.
God bless you too my friend. Hope you’re doing well.
What brand of dryer. I’m looking for the knob of washer General Electric.
It’s an Amana brand machine. I don’t think that would work for you unfortunately. 😢
Just wanted to add a note that the drums for $15 for vegetable planters or fire rings. Thanks for the tricks.
I mentioned about them being sold for pits. Never knew about vegetables planters, cool idea.
Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 also sold them as firewood holder to go by a firepit and as risers over a septic tank.
@@billrenton6250 oh cool! Lots of great uses for them.
hello again buddy! great video, thank you
Thank you buddy, I appreciate it.
Another great video
Thank you buddy, I appreciate that.
@@scrapitall200you are welcome
Have a great week my friend.
You made quick work of that thing that’s for sure. It’s always nice to make more money. I smashed my little squirrel cage with a hammer, lol
Thank you
@@scrapitall200 you’re amazing my friend you are truly amazing. You have a great video channel over there on TH-cam. I’m telling you I’m impressed. I definitely want to be like you one day Scrapping With Grandpa what’s
I’m truly blessed. All glory to God!
If i have nowhere to take it apart is it not that much of a loss just to cut the cord off?
@@crackman8301 it’s been awhile since I recorded this video so I don’t remember the numbers from shred versus fully scrapping it, but I know in the video I show all the numbers
@@scrapitall200 yeah. Thanks!
@@crackman8301 👍 no problem.
Good evening My million dollar question is how did you remove the aluminum wire from the motor tools used if you don’t mind sharing the knowledge
Hello. So I broke the cast aluminum with a hammer and a cold chisel, it broke apart fairly easily. Then I used my side cutters to clip the aluminum on one side (it’s really soft) then I pulled the aluminum out through the other end.
Hope that all makes sense. Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 yes it makes money sense god speed and 🙏
@@coronaman9438 awesome! 😁
I need to start scraping at a higher level like you
I love scrapping everything down to the bones, it’s a lot of fun.
Thank you so much for watching.
Really nice video brother!
Thank you brother!
@@scrapitall200 you’re welcome!
God bless you!
@@scrapitall200God bless you too!
That was a real education my friend, definitely different than scraping gold and silver.
Very cool about finding change in some of these tear downs.
Educate me about what shred means. Is it just tin or iron and the scrap yard buys it at a very low price to shred up.
Thank you my friend.
Shred is the lowest value of scrap metal and its metal that has plastic or other non metals with it. They put this sort of stuff through a giant machine that shreds it and that’ll help separate the metal from the trash.
Thank you for watching my friend.
@@scrapitall200 Thank you for explaining that.
@@GDSavingThePast you’re welcome
Awesome video buddy
Thank you buddy!
You are welcome
amen brother
God bless you! 😃
Why do you call it shread? WOW man that prayer at the end..so awesome. I'm subscribing!
@@JacobAHull-nx6rx any metal that has non metal in it such as plastic or any metal that is really thin gets put through a shredding machine at scrapyards to separate the metals from the trash before selling it to their buyers. So it’s the lowest form of steel they buy because of the trash or thinness of the metal. Hope that made sense lol.
Awesome, so happy you enjoyed the prayer. God bless and I really appreciate you watching and subscribing.
As you said, everyone has to determine for themselves if it is worth it to scrap things out. Just curious how long it took you to do it for the extra $4?
Sometimes I do tear things fully apart and sometimes I have so many other things to do which would bring in more money, so I just take the 'low hanging fruit' (as I call it) and put it in the shred pile.
Love your videos.
Blessings brother
I didn’t pay attention to the clock. I can say I had about an hours worth of recording footage, of course there’s a lot of messing around making videos.
I bet it could be done in 30 minutes or a little less. Definitely not a good hourly rate.
Thank you for watching brother and God bless.
Great video thank you
Thank you buddy, I appreciate you watching
As you take everything apart can you tell us what every peace of metal is so we know what kind it is ty
@@sal-k7j most of my videos I’m saying what each thing is. Which parts in this video are you curious about?
@@scrapitall200 some of the peaces of metal I don't know if it aluminum or zink not alot but I'm new to scrap anything you can explain is a big help TY
@@sal-k7j ok cool, thank you. Yes I will try to identify the metals.
Zinc has a more grayish color to it and it’s heavier than aluminum. I’m going to be working on a video soon showing how to easily tell the difference between aluminum and zinc.
Ty scraptail
@@sal-k7j you’re welcome
Holy cow , what a mess !! Your application to the HOA is in peril.
🤣🤣 good thing there is none of those around here, I’d be banished 🤣
Thank you for watching buddy and the laugh.
Just enriching the environment with all elements of the periodic table.
@@grijzekijker 😂🤣
@@grijzekijker mmm, probably closer to 20 or so out of the 84 primordial elements, and mostly 5.
I bet you’re 100% correct lol
awesome video!
Thank you so much!
Time - time - time - how long did it take to make the extra $4? I know your a hobby scrapper but for us common folks - that would help assess whether it was worth it. Happy Scrappin!
I know, I keep forgetting!
I will make a note buddy and add that to my next video.
Hey Y'all
That’s right lol
We're going to find out here real soon how much silver in those contacts. Ive been collecting up all the switches, potentiometers, relays and things from appliances to do just that. I can say from experience that auto relay contacts run %61-70 silver. It seems from videos ive seen from other youtubers, these contacts tend to be mostly copper with a thin silver layer on the face.
Im willing to "waste" some nitric acid to find out. The plan is to collect 31.1 grams (1 troy ounce) and find a percentage. I might just do a smaller 10 gram run to make the math easier.
I think a copper cell is also coming. That is probably the most economical way to recover the silver from these if they turn out to be plated
Ok cool, that will be a great experiment.
I look forward to sharing that with us all.
Thank you for watching.
I just scrap them the way they r I don’t have time to broke them down today I had a 15foot box truck packed front to back to roof of scrap metal it was refrigerated stoves and two big chest freezers full of scrap as well I had 3ton on truck little over weight but that’s fine if I have time I do take some stuff off but not all the time
That sounds like a heck of a load.
Very very nice video
Thank you so much!
Great video. Yeah there's not enough aluminum on that armature to justify the difference in steel.
Thank you!
I agree and I know my yard in particular is very picky with dirty aluminum.
Thank you for watching.
Great video buddy! Enjoyed it
Thank you so much buddy, I appreciate it.
G day Ths for showing
Thank you buddy!
How’s the weather in Ontario?
@@scrapitall200 I am 74 with severe asthma, had basically all my life {never smoked} I need sun to feel beter
off & on Ths
So sorry to hear that 😢
Good idea using the towels of smash off the plastic parts. How long did it take you to scrap out? Cheers Graham
Thank you buddy.
I don’t normally pay attention to the clock since I hobby scrap, but I can tell you I had about 70 minutes of recording footage.
Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 I'm the same as U. Just enjoy the process
Absolutely! I should try and keep track of how long it takes me to scrap something, just so I can share that information.
@@scrapitall200 would b interesting. U got a lot of good processes, I learned a few quicker ways from U. Thx mate
@@theaussienurseflipper.8113 awesome. You’re welcome my friend.
Rite on man , I cant see myself doing all that .
But the video was quite infomative
It’s too bad they rarely ever have copper motors, would change things for a lot of folks.
I’ll still scrap it all 😂
@@scrapitall200 Yea , its just the tearing stuff apart that is hurting my hands , Even hauling in HMS scrap wrecks my hand for a day or so but I am gonna keep doing it .
Now it seems to be smoke season here again 😞 that also hurts me pretty bad (being in a bodyshop for 30 years) sure did a number on me
Wow, wildfires are already starting? That’s crazy.
Sorry about your hands, that’s gotta be frustrating 😢
@@scrapitall200 Yea its so smokey here we could see it inside Canadian tire and costco today.
The hand is very frusterating , it dont hurt all the time thankfully , but certain movements sometimes make it hurt real bad.
I will post a photo on my Comunity page so you can see how bad it is
I’ve got 3 slipped discs in my neck so I can relate to pain buddy. Some days it’s just awful.
Very good exercise in the economics of recycling. Thank you.
You’re welcome!
Thank you for watching, I appreciate it.
I worked in a scap yard for years and can tell ya sometimes you can find 20 or more bucks in them , rings ext lol

Awseome video
Thank you my friend!
I scrapped 3 dryers and 2 washers from an old laundromat and got 121 dollars in quarters from the change boxes on them
Wow, that is so awesome!!
Thank you for watching.
You gave value at prices when you made the video. The only weight you gave was the starting weight of the dryer and of silver contacts. Component weights are more useful than contemporaneous prices. Just saying. I liked the video. Thanks for that.
@@williammiller6043 I always give the prices on everything so I’m a bit confused
@@scrapitall200 You gave dollar amounts for copper, steel, Al, etc. You didn't say how many pounds of steel or ounces of copper, etc, except to give the total weight of the dryer. Usually you give component weights.
@@williammiller6043 ok I see, thanks.
I can’t always remember each video details I make lol
I’ve been making videos for 1.5 years and it’s still a learning process. Thank you for the feedback! 😁

@@williammiller6043 thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I do have a lot of fun making videos 😁
Nice one buddy. Shame your hard work wasn't rewarded with a copper motor but we know how it goes. The scrap gods will find you a big copper transformer next time 😅
Thank you brother!
It’s ok, I wasn’t expecting copper and I’m just thankful this is all fun to me, of course it’s more fun when it’s copper 🤣
