Trash faeries were good to us today! Went out with something specific in mind, but ended up going with the flow when that fell through and were handsomely rewarded with some great scores of copper, cast iron, and then some!

I beg to differ, I scrapped a friends piano, super heavy and very hard to disassemble. Got about 350# of cast iron but that is about it. I think the real winner was my friend, he got free piano removal.

About 15 or 20 years ago, I restored a piano, and - depending on Canadian ivory law - you can resell the keys and/or ivory surfaces to people who restore pianos. The ebony keys will sell well, too. Nice finds today, Thub!

@@thubprint I found this - different from here because here, no ivory of any provenance can be sold ever. "Ivory objects brought into Canada prior to 1989 can still be sold within Canada, but cannot be transported out of the country. The market within Canada for ivory objects is unpredictable and depends on specific local factors of collectors' interests and comfort levels of owning objects made from an endangered species."

I'd advise against scrapping a piano. I grabbed one out of curiosity and thinking it was worth it. The "harp" (What the strings attach to) is a solid 250lb piece of cast iron. Normally That's all gravy but the tuning pegs for each string (100+) all go through the harp and the solid piano frame and do NOT want to be taken out. I had to burn the whole piano just to harvest the cast. Unless you have a giant fire pit and three strong friends (the whole piano is 500lbs) it's not worth it. Very little amount of brass bits you might be able to grab but that's all.

@thubprint 3 жыл бұрын
