What a run! Dumpster diving for scrap metal went fantastic today, came home with a pretty stellar haul that included a little bit of everything and processed it all down, ready to take it in for cash! Scrapping can be a pretty great way to spend a day.
Wire stripper I use: amzn.to/3sirg18
The motorized stripper: amzn.to/3y0JMuQ
The wire cutters I like: amzn.to/2T6j3OW
The grips I recommend: amzn.to/2QCJmYl
The melting furnace: amzn.to/3EGxT2q
(If you make a purchase on amazon through the links above, a small amount of what amazon makes on the sale is shared with me. It's a great way to help support my channel, at no additional cost to you. Even if you buy something other than my tool recommendations!)

Those Texas Instruments Command Modules are for the TI-99/4A vintage computer. There is a thriving vintage computer community, maybe you could find a local buyer to sell the whole lot and save shipping.

For scrapping, you are spoiled in Calgary. Maybe a new video series as well? Scrapping across the nation. Re the wire - you have a stripmeister - run it through, it will cut one of the inner wires at the same time. One pass = two bare bright.

It's unbelievable how all the wire is dumped where you are! I've just started collecting any copper wire and copper pipe i see when going places, all the appliances I see have the cable already cut off and actual cable wire non existent really unless you're a proper skip diver! So many collecting scrap around London nowadays.

Also, when discharging capacitors it is good practice to keep your other hand in your pocket. Saves you completing a circuit and smacking yourself in the face, or possibly something worse.😊 Cannot wait for the next episode. Cheers NN.

Well, I haven’t said much even though I am still watching, but my 4Runner was involved in an accident a few weeks back and was totaled. Not my fault, luckily, and the other guy’s insurance is going to pay out (hopefully soon!) but I have been out of the game since then and I am going crazy! Luckily my buddy who let me borrow his S-10 a couple years back is going to sell it to me for cheap, so I will have a scrap truck (an open bed will be sooo much better than an SUV) that is already… not trashed, but let’s say I won’t have to worry about it if it gets dinged up a little as it already has some “love” to it. But I have been going stir-crazy, not to mention not making any money. Ad thing is that I keep seeing stuff I would pick up, including a passel of brake rotors nearby! I just hope they are still there when I finally get the truck. My plan is to go “HAM” on some scrapping and save for a car I can drive that looks decent and gets good gas mileage. Cross your fingers for me!!! Oh, and as always, great video! Thanks for helping me want to keep doing the thing. Take care, Drake!

Been watching for a while and love the fact that you can make a little money and leave the environment better than you found it! Quick question that may have been asked before. Do you have any friends that are contractors, plumbers etc that might be interested in some of the select scrap? I am a handyman and I would give 2 to 3 times the amount you might get for the pipe, fixtures, electrical etc. Might not be worth the hassle? Thanks again for everything.

I’m glad my wife hasn’t asked me to stop. I guess cause I break down and pass the metal onto some older man.
