Glad I could help

I cleaned up another 7 today about 14 lbs. of copper and one unit had aluminum wire

them big black flies can hurt when they bite, I keep insect repellent in the shop, get masketos a lot here when it cools off at night

Yes. I have used the cutting torch, and plasma cutter, to open them up, but it tends to get too hot inside and melt the plastic strips that insulate the copper from the steel, then the copper is very hard to get out and, makes it hard to get the plastic off the copper wire, so the cutting disk works best for me, In February I will be turning 69. in this heat it makes me want to give up the scrapping and stay inside. but the little extra from the scrap and what KZfaq pays helps with the bills. so will have to keep the scrapping going for another few years, until things are paid off. Big Country has a good channel, he also has another channel Big Red Bullon, where he melts copper, brass, and aluminum

@@Okiescrapper - yeah I kinda figured that heat would probably do something inside of the compressors but I didn't know for sure how that old black man was cutting them open, just knew by the looks of the cases, looked like he used a torch, I suppose anyways, he wouldn't tell us everything he did, he just called us whenever he had scrap for us to pickup, heck he never even took us back in his garage, so I figured he had a few secrets that he didn't want anyone knowing or something. Yeah me and my scrapping partner we never tried cutting them open, we just saved them up, enough to really take in to the scrapyard. And yes sir, that Xtra money sure helped out quite a bit, especially when you had some money in your pocket everyday, and especially when you only got one little measley check a month. I sure miss it, it was great exercise too, really, especially out hustling scrap everyday, street scrapping and all that. But the last 10 years I haven't been able to do much of anything like that, I'm 64 but been put through the ringer, all my life and it's taking it's toll on my body, got arthritis and nerve pain all over, the lower back is pretty much gone too, course the doctor's took me out from behind the wheel of any vehicle, that was about 15 years ago or a little more, so I'm not allowed to drive in KY and Ohio. What a huge bummer too! Anyways, take care buddy, keep on doing what you do and I'll be watching! 👍👍🤘✌️

Glad it helped

Yeah, I went to the dr. a little over a year ago about my breathing, they put me through a bunch of tests, and found nothing, then they put me through a bunch of tests on my heart. in the end they told me maybe if you lost some weight

Hay watch it, you'll be old to someday, if you live long enough,

a lot of them may be repairable, if you have the know how, and the equipment

about 2 lbs. in the small one's

cutting blade 4.5 inch. I have them listed on my amazon page, link in video description

just a 41/2-inch angle grinder with some cut off blades.

@@Okiescrapper okay I bought one today . at the harbor freight 25% off . I got the $49.00 angle grinder and ten cut off wheels . Total $41.00

yes. find a yard that you can trust, some yards are very impersonal you can't hardly talk to any of them, others yards you can talk to all the workers and they will help teach you what you need to know. and those yards are still good to do business with even if they pay a little less

@@Okiescrapper most yards that don`t jurk you around pay more anyways most times and you make more when you get payed for every thing that you bring any way like you cleaned it up to just give away

some people say they are not worth it, but for me they are, just make sure you have something under it to catch the oil that will come out of it
