One heck of an answer for most asked question. Thank You. Allways regrect when leaving one behind... in Poland got more tools than just a dremel and it is not a lot cutting dis usage if You know how to cut metal. But still.. . Its not easy money. Mostly not worth it. Thank You.
I think you are right. That was quite a lot of work for only a small profit. By the time you take out your cost of tools, I’m sure it’s probably not worth your time. Interesting to see what’s inside though! ❤
If only effort is paid! I agree that £3 might not be enough with all that effort in dividing the compressor. I'd sell that whole to the junk shop since I'm not patient enough to do that 😆🤭 I admire your patience, though, in doing so
A shame it was slightly time consuming and all you get was a little over £3! But if you come into stuff like this a lot then you can just save all the parts and build a stash that’s worth cashing in!
All you need IS a plazma cutter.and open IT in 1 minit. I am saving for plazma cuter.and i allrady have saved 10 kompresor for my self.i want to get ať least 40 more compresors
that is what i use. 30 seconds and they are open up and that is using old worn tips that are no longer good for getting straight edge cuts. Who cares what the cut edge looks like on scrap. I open them up in groups or whenever I get the plasma out for some other jobs, i will do a batch that is sitting around. it depends on how much you get in your area for each classification and how fast you can separate it. here they pay jack for them whole and I am fast at getting them apart so i cut them all up and save them for whenever the price is up. my biggest stash of copper I saved was a little over 3,000 pounds waiting for the price to go up.
@@madeingreatbritainchannel yeah I know they have different prices different yards. But I was seeing how much you would get if you took it in whole compared to stripping it
You DO have a hundred of them to do- you just haven't got the others yet. Try doing 50 in an afternoon and you'll soon be sick of it, one at a time as you get them can be fit in anytime of the day at your leisure. Scrapping copper is a waiting game- never cash copper in in dribs and drabs, save it for a big payday otherwise you'll never have anything to show for it. Just under a year has my hoard at around 90kg no.1 stripped wire, 45kg no.2 wire (mostly windings) and roughly 40 kg copper pipe with brass I haven't seperated or cleaned yet. I'm planning on a tonne before cashing in. Here (South Australia) no.1 is at best up to AU$12 a kg while no.2 might be a dollar or so less. I splashed out on an enerpat multi cutter motorised wire stripper, but now realise there's a lot of wire too fine to strip and am looking into building a granulator. Good luck scrounging!
I always save it up, my last load was last Christmas was £1600. I only pick up between jobs, so have no expenses. I have 15 compressors waiting I will use the plasma cutter when I get a load of them.
Not worth the time. Ok if you are pottering about in a shed all day. But you can go round streets picking up more scrap and drop off for more money in time this takes.
He made more money doing this than you did watching. Time wasted is time wasted. If a person enjoys doing something and makes a buck or 2 it's time well spend no matter how long it take or how little the pay..cheers to all
@@madeingreatbritainchannel the disc is use for cutting a tiles and not for metal. use a metal cutting disc its like a thin disc like a sand paper type. you can also use that for cutting the copper wire.
Great video! Thanks for the tips on safely scrapping a fridge compressor.
You bet!
For me.. Yes it's worth it! All you need is patience...
And I must say.. you really got the skills !!! Amazing work!

Patience lmfao better of upcycling it

I say No

A plasma cutter is next on my list
that is what i use. 30 seconds and they are open up and that is using old worn tips that are no longer good for getting straight edge cuts. Who cares what the cut edge looks like on scrap. I open them up in groups or whenever I get the plasma out for some other jobs, i will do a batch that is sitting around. it depends on how much you get in your area for each classification and how fast you can separate it. here they pay jack for them whole and I am fast at getting them apart so i cut them all up and save them for whenever the price is up. my biggest stash of copper I saved was a little over 3,000 pounds waiting for the price to go up.
Plasma is probably my favorite scrapping tool. paid for itself a long time ago.
My curiosity of the inside of the compressor brought me here😅
Thanks
What cutting blade do you use 😢
Cheap diamond blade
I had no idea you can crape a fridge compressor
Can you dismantle it, repair the damaged part and fix the compressor up for use...or when a compressor is bad, the next thing is to scrap it?
most of them are ok it is the fridge that leaked the gas out
What is that in US? Money wise the copper?
$1 = £1 in today exchange rate
I guess it worth it. Patience is a virtue
Thanks for watching
I normally strip everything down but those compressors you get £4 quid anyway for the extra £2.23p I just run it in as is
I was thinking the same
I don't know cuz we don't do that at our place.
1 problem i would say with this.., is sourcing the compressor in the first place? Were do i start? 🤔
Try you local scrap guys who sell them to scrap yards
@@MarjorieVernonPurcell good idea! 🙏💯🔥
Always wondered the difference in price stripped/whole, thanks for answering that 😁
Always more money if you strip it down
Not all re copper.i have hsd some alley ones..i have a load and am just gonna take in as one piece.
If you weigh them first the alley ones are lighter so you can tell which are alley and which are copper.
I strip these down new subscriber
Thanks for watchining
How much would you get if you just took it in without stripping?
You have to check your local scrap yard.
@@madeingreatbritainchannel yeah I know they have different prices different yards. But I was seeing how much you would get if you took it in whole compared to stripping it
This was great work. You really have to have patience to do something like this tho
Tell me about it
I don’t scrub them things down I generally bring them in as they are I get $.15 a pound
Hardly worth it
We're you getting your prices on you metals cos there some pirces
From our local scrap yard
Yea it is really worth it.
Would do if I had 10 or more
Great way to get some money
Thanks
I've also done what you did in this video, and that could be a way to make money for me
Glad you can make money from this.
Does that copper go in as no2 ?
Yes goes in as No2 as it has lacquer coating on it.
At my local yard they call it "varnish wire". Same as the wire from lighting ballasts.
@@martinjackson176 No 2 copper not worth as much as bright copper
I feel the same way it’s just not worth it. I’ll take the $.15 a pound I get here in North Carolina
If I had a plasma cutter and did 100 it would be worth it.
Good to see other Grandpa's scrapping

@@hardergamer You could buy them from scrap yards
YOU MADE A MESS OF THAT !
Its not an easy task
This interesting I'm going to say it was worth but i can't see see myself doing this cause my patience is low and i will definitely be annoyed
HA ha me too
I Have. Compression and. Buy
Great
Move your camera to get better angle pictures
Just started to use 2 cameras thanks for the comment
Not worth it unless you have a lot of them
That it is what I thought
Not worth the time. Ok if you are pottering about in a shed all day. But you can go round streets picking up more scrap and drop off for more money in time this takes.
Its just a slide hussel for me and I enjoy it
It’s not worth it unless you have 100s of motors
I am collecting 100 of them and will do it a gain with a plasma cutter
The bloke at my local yard has 7 tones or them..they don't cut them they send them to Africa
@@martinjackson176 They may recondition them, worth more then
It's not worth your time unless you need maybe a dollar
Every one needs a dollar.
He made more money doing this than you did watching. Time wasted is time wasted. If a person enjoys doing something and makes a buck or 2 it's time well spend no matter how long it take or how little the pay..cheers to all
@@mart1044 I love scrapping, money for nothing
omg your using a wrong cutting disc.
How can it be wrong when it cut it.
@@madeingreatbritainchannel the disc is use for cutting a tiles and not for metal. use a metal cutting disc its like a thin disc like a sand paper type. you can also use that for cutting the copper wire.
Pound. Coper??????
Thanks for watching we are at £4.80 Kg
