Who's the kid just sitting there tapping away on his phone. Put his butt to work. Goal number 1 is always be profitable and focused but #2 for me atleast, is share knowledge with the next generation. Gotta motivate and teach these kids ethic that they don't need to work for the man. Your in a prime position for that.

Hello Florida,,, northern Sweden here again and scrapping is good. I made a few good contacts so I am not short on scrap,, AC/heater units I get several in a week and I found a local buyer for precious metals. Stay safe and take care.

Hi Derek. You guys rock thru the transformers. For the life of me, I cannot understand how you guys can so readily tell which coils are copper and which are aluminum when you are cranking. Old eyes on my part.

The time saver in me had an idea, can you clear out the cracked transformer, load the next, and cycle the ram down with your feet while cleaning off the steel from the just cracked one? Since the down cycle takes several seconds and is obvious by the double crack sound, you should be able to take your foot off while clearing the steel pieces. Just a random thought from my OCD brain while watching your cycles. Might need a little more table in front to give you a spot to slide the cracked transformer over to while loading the new one. Have a good one!

I had a box trailer and I did not like the fact that everything had to come out the back. It had its benefits but over all I like the open trailers that can be loaded and unloaded on any side.

You might try reducing handling. Motion is money and wasteful. Also try to work at waist height to reduce bending and possible injury.

I don't know if you have that brand in the US, but I have a number of Parkside plasma cutters that have built-in compressors. I always have one on the back of the pickup with a small generator. to cut light fixtures, etc. into small pieces on site, which makes a considerable difference in volume. and here these plasma cutters don't cost anything, they are around two hundred euros. I'm from the Netherlands

@empirefinds 5 ай бұрын

I notice you do not remove the rivets with the rivet removing tool that comes with your air hammer. Also you should have in the set sheet metal attachment
