@mattyal9347 thanks for watching.

Lol. The putty. It did favor one.

Dead on my friend, I learned this on a video I watched. It's deceiving.

Will do friend.

Thanks.

@@CopperEyeJoe welcome buddy

Thanks for the tips. I have gathered several totes, barrels, and other containers since this video. Only problem is I can't seem to ever have enough lol.

I get very little AL wire and it is always heavy guage and I run it through my stripper. My scrap yard ahs no problem putting it in. Actually I do not even need to sort my AL they pay the same for all three types and put it all in one dumpster. I do pull out AL/CU computer heatsinks/

Thank you. So far I'm getting about one scrapyard run per month. I really wish stainless steel paid more than it does. Thanks for watching .

@@CopperEyeJoe A pleasure

Hello, welcome to the channel.

I love your Playlist by the way.

Thanks friend, I'll sub you back.

Thank you.

Sorry to hear that, friend. I took some copper off Friday, and it was 3.80 a pound for bare bright.

Yeah, some of these yards are something else! We get $2.80 per pound with a smile, very nice people, but your ass hurts when you're leaving!! Going price is something like $3.30-$3.65 per pound for #2 dirty copper right now, but good luck finding a yard who will give you what it's supposedly worth. I thought about melting it down, but damn, that would be some long hot hard work in the summers, but who the hell is going to buy it for a good price to make it worth your while anyway? It's looking more and more like going to work for minimum wage is going to be further ahead for me.

@patrickm.8425 I think bare bright is like 3.80 at my local.yard right now. Funny thing is another local yard ( same distance away) was only giving 2.80 per pound. It's crazy how some do their prices.

@@patrickm.8425 some people get 10x scrap value just for copper ingots. Imagine what else you can make with cast copper. I'd like to play around with growing copper crystals with electrolysis, and making bronze/brass alloys and casting large items like bells, oversized historical insignia, etc. I also collect rocks and can imagine making decorative items with gems and copper.

I'm a rookie, obviously. Excellent observation.

It sure was. Thanks for watching.

I gotta get caught up on your videos friend. Thanks for watching.

If you missed it, fast foward to the 13:36 mark to see copper weight. Thanks for watching.

I will just for you my friend. I wasnt sure if the noise of the gas engine would drown out the scene, so I opted for the music.

Thanks buddy

Thanks , I appreciate you.

Nice.

@@CopperEyeJoe well , It might be . Or it might be a waste of 25$ lol

@ONEMANSTRASH1 well I'm wishing you the best of luck that it works out.

Thank you.

Thanks for the info and for watching.

I'll bet, I only left it off for the demonstration. If I put the drill on ,I'll definitely use the guard.

Thanks.

Hope you make some good money. Thanks for the sub

I saw it done on another channel and gave it a try. Definitely makes it easier.

Depending what tools you have you can use a machete to split it open in the center like he did with the wood splitter or you can just cut one side off with a grinder or sawzall or hacksaw and just grab the other side with a pump pliers and pull it through or use a hammer and punch it out or if you have very little in tools then you can just cut the one side off with a wire cutter and go from that. when you can afford to or me I would spend your money from scrapping to buy certain tools to make this fun gig faster and easier and then it becomes a better fun gig when you make more when you invested the same amount of time. yep in scrapping tools are your friend. my favorite is my sawzall and my plasma cutter probably. when i started 40 years ago, i only had manual hand tools and built my arsenal up from that.

@steveherr450 thanks for the advice . I have since put my scrap money on a wire stripper. It already paid for itself many times over. My next purchase will be a nicer wire stripper and some other tools. Just messing around on the side I've made 2,500 in the past 2 months. That small potatoes, but for the little amount of time I'm putting in it's nice side money.

Thanks for watching. I uploaded my second run as well, made quite a bit more this go round.

Good advice.

I have about a 5 gallon bucket full now. I totally agree.

I've already thought of some alterations to make the mechanical wire stripper I ordered better. It should be here in a week or so.

The ones on the generators at work are massive.

@@CopperEyeJoe hopefully you’re on the list to obtain them when / if they go-up. Big money

Thank you.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks friend. I'm gonna modify the splitter to pull windings out of staters as well.

@@CopperEyeJoe well I can't wait to see that video

@@CopperEyeJoe oh by the way the capacitor should be silver inside. I'm going to find out here within a week or two and I'll let you know

Thanks scorpion. Just subbed you.

@@CopperEyeJoe thanks. My scrap channel is scrapping scorpion

Thanks , and I'll sub you back.

@@CopperEyeJoe thanks

I'm in the eastern United States. Maybe I need to head your way.
