Great time had by all!

Thank you!

Still love the stove , bet that made Christmas warm and cozy

Lovely

That's that rad stove!

From your friends on the other side of the border, Otter Lake, Michigan. I was in a similar situation helping a couple in their 70's clear out a house. I haul a 8' X 20' trailer and am on my 3rd load. Feeling similar to you about the amount money being earned, on the four return to their property, I told the couple I would leave the trailer with them for a week, with the stipulation, I did not care what they put in it. What ever it is, I dispose of it. Knowing I would be making a trip to the land fill, I figured it would help them with an overwhelming situation. Otherwise, my scrapping methods are not much different than yours, picking curbside, bring it home, sorting it, processing / cleaning and categorizing. The biggest improvement over the last two years I've made that really improved my hauls is the purchase and use of a plasma cutter. Harbor Freight special, about $700. I now even cut up steel car rims for short steel. And as you've experienced it those little treasures that keep me looking for scrap everywhere I go. Case in point, spot a metal folding chair, as I pick it up, I notice a box full of 18 / 20 gage wire. So I grab it too. About a week later, after searching ebay and Facebook Market place looking for a stereo system for my scrapping shop, I get around to processing that box of wire. Low and behold under that wire was Sony 5 speaker surround sound system, including subwoofer. How spooky can that be to get such a gift from the curbside gods, knowing I was market for such a system. 👍🏻 Oh ya, I'm hooked.

Originally from Calgary, ❤️ , just found your channel and really enjoy watching it. Your voice is very soothing and you are teaching your viewers

Include myself in one of the many who admire that very solid wood stove.

Wow, that sure was quite a bit, good job 👍👍

All that racket in the yard is the sound of $$ 💵💸💰

Another great episode of Scrappin' Jesus......

Fun video! Thanks for putting metals into the resource supply while making some money for you family!! Win!Win!

Wonderful as always

It is more than fair to keep it all for yourself. If you didn't do it he probably would have had to hire someone, or do it himself. So you've either saved him time, literally days, or saved him a fair amount of money. Some of these jobs you could possibly earn a labor fee as well. Remember, you're worth more than just scrap metal.

That was a workout !! keeping fit without going to a gym, you do a great job, stay warm and safe

Dan is such a cool guy!

Co.mments help so,here goes. I watch all the time and like, but this time it's on my phone,not the big screen, so a comment.

So entertaining I could watch you all day

You are a scrap monster.😮

Thank you for posting this video that shows what to do at the scrapyard. It was interesting and informative.

Thumbs UP

As carefully compacted and packed that trailer was, I'm sure it took some time to load it! Good haul!

Look like you found a new friend, the U-Haul trailer :P

Thubb, I love your work ethic. What you do is very physical but you always try to be fair to everyone. Hello from Newfoundland and Labrador.

Nice!

Heck of a score broski! Keep doing the thing. Nice to see you keeping busy.

Awesome bro

Wow! That truck was packed very compact and FULL! Another great haul!

Restored that little furnace would fetch $1000 here easily. Probs even more in the right hands and place.

hello from the u.s. great video the thing was pretty intresting

That stove is gorgeous 😍😍😍 Thanks for another great video!

Just found you recently and enjoy your content and upbeat personality! Keep doing YOUR thing! 😉

After telling you I have never come across an I beam section as I want to use it as a tool to work my scrap. I just managed to come across one today. Super

That wood stove is a beauty!!!!! and OH! Mercury! How fun! I missed seeing a sneak peek of Syd!

Great video, I love the scrapyard/payment parts too. :D

That was alot of stuff

Awesome video keep doing the thing leave it better than you found it. !!!

My knee is busted from this keep lifting

Great video!!

Love your videos. You work so hard but at the same time you do find great treasures that need to be saved

An enjoyable vid Thub! 👍👍 I've actually sold Mercury switches through my shop before - around $10 each! Not sure what people use them for! 🤔 The other thing isn't really a rock guard - it's a knife finger, which has a ledger plate on which a reciprocating knife runs across to provide a cutting action for mowing/harvesting etc. There would have been a row of them on the old sickle mower you took to the yard. Unnecessary information? Yeah - you'll get that from me! 🤣🤣

Mercury is cool to look at and play with. I have a little vial too from my grandpa’s old house.

If there is no video of you using that skillet on that woodstove laddie, you are in a world of disappointed glowers from me and the cat!!

gold panners use mercury to help separate out the tiny gold flecks.

Great day my man!!! That stove it really nice!!

Great video, very nice haul...ty for doing the thing

✨

The rock guard goes on the circle mower bar I think. It's been over 65 years so my memory is not the best. We enjoy the ride take care and be safe.

I think due to all the sustainability talks everybody is having, aluminium has the potential to double. Due to the cost and use of electricity, recycling aluminium will become very important. Keep on scrapping.

Leaving it better...

Man o Man that was a workout just unloading :) /cheers ScrapBongo

You were going to throw the numbers up on screen? did I miss that bit?

Interesting stuff. I am sure, like me, you thought were all these different parts came from originally before becoming scrap. Keep up the good work.

Recycle the camper into you're own trailer cut your overhead and keep doin' the thing. Hope we get another video before Christmas

That mercury is cool. I collected about 10 of those from an old hospital we renovated. All new air conditioners and thermostats. All the old ones had mercury in them. I too broke them, but on purpose and put it all in an old medical glass vile thing I found there.

Man! You need too paint that stove with high temperature black paint! You can get at any hardware store

Hey thub its night time silly haha weeeee

I love the woodstove! And that one is so ornate. ❤️ Was that trailer you broke up on the farm an old caravan? You called it something else? Anyhow great video. Thank you. 👏👏👏

Hey Thub, I just recently found 2 of those mercury capsules from an old thermostat as well

I was wondering is this your full time job and next question are set up as a business??? Or is it better not to register with the government. Thank you for the video definitely love the scrap yard trips for value $$$$.

Scrap those 1 inch straps and get some 2" ratchet straps with a 10,000 pound limit ( 3,333 pound capacity) hate to see those Disco lights behind you on the highway. Well worth the 25 bucks

The mercury can be used to recover gold.

Gonna say that's a 2-300 dollar haul if you're lucky and depending on how much copper ect you have for the shed(if that's how they work atyour yard of course).

I acquired 3 of those mercury switches this summer, not sure what to do with them either. My kids will probably have to deal with them once I am gone. lol 😂

mercury is very dangerous only metal that can go from liquid to a solid and if you get enough there are places that will buy it but a good haul.

That chunky stuff PAYS. Great Haul. Happy Hunting.

I found some mercury cleaning out a garage, luckily we have a hazardous waste disposal locally

Hello Thub. My yard also have different grades for steel,, shred,, cutting material, with a torch,, scissor material, think rebar and light poles. Steel rims and and stuff thicker then 6 mm goes as HMS,,steel plates and tubing,, I-beams and so on. called Klass 11 at my yard.

alternate name for mercury is quicksilver - so you found silver (kind of ...)

I got the 1000th like on this vid 😂😂😂

The farm definitely had some cool treasures , how much does the stove weigh ?

I should start making videos of my scrap runs also. Been thinking about it for years. Only uploaded brief videos showing my truck loaded up to the max.

What are they paying for a ton(gross ton some places)of #1 steel where you go? Right now it's 175 a gross ton for me. Light Iron isn't that far behind it these days either where I go. I think it's 145 a gross ton. You're nicer than me, a good amount of what I saw you throw for light I would have tossed as heavy and they would have been completely ok with it. Well, idk how much but enough that I wouldn't have thrown it as light.

That's a knife guard from a sickle mower for cutting hay. Thub you missed "Keep doing the thing and Leave it better than you found it" AlsoI like the beats ending music on your vids man

225 a ton in holland mi copper3.50 pound

So how do they know how much weight of what you put in each pile? No one is around recording the weights of what you throw in what pile...

With the electric fencer.....sell it to a gardener....or bee keeper to keep wildlife out of the garden or apiary.

Scrap yards get paid big off engine cast that has copper and Al on them big market on that

I get .15- 16.cent for engine cast save it

just curious why you wouldnt drop the tailgate and throw it straight off the back ????

what does your scrap yard consider as prepared hms?

If short pays more for cast u toss it in short its about u getting paid not them

Only thing I don’t understand is why do you keep renting a trailer over an over already seen you scrape enough to build 1 or 3 in just videos I’ve watched lol

I get $1.25 for Christmas lights

Never look a gift horse in the mouth take the money and run
