NE England here. I do the odd bit of fabrication at home and like yourselves the offcuts and handy pieces soon choke up the place. I'm mid-clearout here and have a fair bit of metal to go. Usually a good gauge for me for metal prices is local scrap collectors travelling around - if the price is high I will see dozens of them stalking for metal lol. The last two weeks I've seen none and had assumed that the price must be low. I can't be bothered to weigh what I have in (wouldn't pay for my time nor fuel) and would rather leave the effort to a street collector. I do save non-ferrous metals here and weigh that in myself - must have over half a ton of non-ferrous stacked up here. Metal prices can be strange. I'm aware that local roofers here save old lead for their Xmas bonus and tend to weigh their years worth in two weeks before Xmas. The result is a huge slump in lead prices due to the glut within the scrap buyers yards.
currently scrap in slovenia is 140 euros a ton i think, not much considering magazines and papers are like 10e more lol, then again other stuff got ridiculously high like copper is almost 8k a ton for pure wire and then third class of copper which they consider like some old plumbing fittings and shit like that, that goes for 7500 which also amazes me giving how stuff used to be before corona lol
Scrap here in the US is very low - Steel goes for $0.05 per pound Aluminum $0.27 per pound Stainless $0.27 per pound Brass $1.49 per pound. Its almost not worth the trouble to save the scrap.
Steel is about 190 bucks a ton here in Ontario Canada ss has been shit for along time at 45 or 50 cents a pound copper on the other hand is at almost 450 a /lbs
I don't know the scrap price but you can always tell when it's high round here because the couple of totters come round the neighbourhood with their Transit drop side and PA yelling for Old eyeoorn! That and the car breakers yard outside of town suddenly becomes completely empty. I went there once a few years ago only to be told they had no cars at all. They did have a really big stack of cubed cars waiting for the hauliers though.
What was that!! 150mm steel slab?! have you been assembling a tank? bank vaults? strongrooms? Oh my... I supposed that the "Yellow Stuff" just needed the 50mm steel slabs, but... which beast needs the 150mm ones?! Oh man... no matter how, you have to get that project... and I mean, ofcourse, the tank! Yes, yes... I need you, to build a tank! No... we need you, to build a tank! No, no... you need, to build a tank!

We don't know when the appropriate project for that will come to you... but I really trust it will come, and you will be ready to achieve it! Just keep an eye on that steel slab... and you will find a place for it...

I checked my local yard for some steel box tube. We don’t have any and you can’t look for it - Covid rules. WTF I’m not going to breath all over your car crushing machine.
In my experience plenty of usable metal goes into scrap. Reason for that is it’s only usable if you have a use for it. Could have a metre long length of steel but if everything you make is 2 metres it is pretty useless.
£170 there at Coleraine t-met yesterday, n 4.30 for bare copper scraped the "Felty bora" 😢, good pay day all the same. P.s. am a welder in Hutchinson we're flat out atm, are yous? Great videos👍👍
bundle up for the cold and wet that day. don't appear to be any easy way to move that stuff. I rate that job right up there with slamming a door onto my prick
It's bollocks really when you would like to improve your yard by concreting it but are put off doing it because the local councils buerocats would levy a tax on you......FFS we carnt do anything these days without paying fooking tax for it........
Gr8 I will call in after lockdown is lifted👍 I hope I remember how to get there. It's been over 20 year's since I was last at cook bro's we all looked younger back then and I remember seeing a mur hill in the yard awesome machine,👍
Scrap can be £0 a ton sometimes when the local transit tipper crews are in a help yourself mood.
Good old Henley Hercules 👍 , don't see many working anymore!
She's a good old girl, ex RAF with the short mast

There has been a huge boom in demand for home exercise equipment, particularly weights, since pandemic.
LOL

I can not even find scrap aluminum here in Thailand. I want some for a backing plate for TIG welding!
Nice Job if you don't mind me asking how much weight went in that lorry Thanks
Lucky I’ve been stockpiling the last year when prices were pathetic, this pandemic is fab for scrap money !
It’s a shame that your so far away some of that plate would be proper handy to machine things from. Don’t think my car would like it
They sellin it not givin it
@@bobcreamier9854 i understand that not looking for free gifts

Not sure of the price but i weighed a midi skip full of frag and was surprised at the money , to say i was just clearing my yard out.
How much scrap at the foundry? probably uppwards of 100 tons, but we use it to make new castings.
Scraptacular video
Hope u made a shilling or 2 off that
Scrap? I see a hell of a lot of usable steal

IDK what scrap is here now however, it is going up for sure!
Nice job and video
Anything planned for the new found space? Lol

Dose every man get a drink out of that???
Did every man pay for it in the first place ?
That’s an old school comment haha. I see New Zealand is not the only country where tradesman call their scrap pile the “beer fund”.
@@WilliamPayneNZ I've had many a free drink out of a pile of scrap.. Old school all the way
