I was scared that you were going to just move his mess to your place but, man you put the work in and processed most all of it. Just wanted to say Good Job!!! and thanks for making the video along the way...
Haha yeah I didn't want that stuff sitting around here any longer than I could help it. Plus scrap prices were high so I had a good incentive to get rid of it.
Thanks for watching!
@@AlwaysBored123 I watched most of this first half, at double speed which makes you either a robot or Superman. 😆🦿🦾🦸
@@Mr.Howell78k Lol!
Sounds like a free deal to me
Great clean up...
U seen the catalytic converter course thats a deal haha
I can't believe you stripped that whole pile of wire without rigging up a foot feed of some kind. Kudos
Thanks that was a bit tedious lol.
As a carpenter, i strip out kitchens and bathrooms, also windows, although it takes time, i break down the stuff into alu’ brass, copper , stainless and steel... some folk ask me why bother, well, i just like to try and do my bit, and lots of folk just dont care.... Well done for doing a good job.
That’s a whole lot of….EVERYTHING!!😮
Nice haul! 💪👍
Great job! keep up the good work. The effort put in this video is amazing.
Thanks a lot!
Thats some serious scrapping. Great video! Enjoyed it immensely!
Thanks glad you liked it!
Great video. When I retired in 2006 I started scrapping in Mesa Az. Prices were good so it worked out well. I used a 16 foot flat car trailer with a winch and a 1 ton crew cab dually that gets maybe 6 miles to the gallon. My loads from the appliance place would average 4000 pounds. Prices here are so low had it not been for the big loads I would not have even broke even. At one point shred was at 2 cents a pound. That was around the time people called me like crazy but they go up and down daily here and not just a cent but copper will drop 25 cents I continued to scrap until the main place I obtained it all from ( a scratch & dent store that moved 10 miles farther away ) and began charging for their scrap. At 3 cents a pound it was not worth it barely covering expenses. Now the yard a few miles away won't take refrigerator's with freon in them any longer. He will without freon but I'm not setting myself up for an EPA issue. I will still haul scrap if I can get it but unlike the old days when I just had a Craigslist ad where people would call and give me truck loads of scrap metal it is none existent any longer. No one calls and there is really nothing to have and no one puts anything on the curb. I suspect people are selling it themselves given the crappy economy. Keep up the good work.
Wow those are some rough prices. I agree it's hard to justify any effort at all for 3 cents a pound. Imo unless you own a scrapyard there is far more money to be made in non-ferrous scrap than in iron and steel. Particularly in extracting copper from electrical and HVAC scrap. I think I made as much, if not more, on just the ac units as I did on all the steel I hauled in this video. The downside of course is if you want non-ferrous stuff in decent quantities you will have to pay something for it. It's worth it though.
VOTE Republican!🇺🇲
cut them compressors off and throw them away
So much work! Excellent job! Viewing from NC
Nice score there. Pulled alot out. And still some left. The machines helped get things I couldn't even see were there. Nice that u were close as well.
Yeah it worked out well. There's no way I could have done it without a skid steer. At some points I just drove slowly through the brush until I bumped into something and pulled it out lol.
It would be a satisfying video to have seen the clean up for the new owner ,thanks for filming this one
As far as I know the fire department burnt everything down and a contractor hauled off what little was left after that. I understand its going to be the entrance to a lithium mine in the future.
31:52 nice setup. Keeps everything seperated and organized.
Thanks yeah that worked well.
Something I’ve used to demount smaller tires and wheels is my hydraulic wood splitter. I just place them on the beam like I’m splitting wood and use the ram to crush the wheel then rotate and crush every 90 degrees. After your done the wheel will look like a 4 leaf clover and the tire will slide off easily. Good job processing all that scrap.
That's a good idea. Steel rims with tires I typically sneak in with a big load of scrap or a car. Alloy wheels I take the tires off with a tire machine.
@@AlwaysBored123 when I scrap steel wheels i cut the tire off from the rim with a sawsall and an old blade sharpened to a knife edge. The bead is made from steel so it adds to the weight.
Loving your work.
I did that all by hand for a while. Now I can barely walk.
Well done. You got dozens of "will it start" videos outta that.
The previous owner of all this stuff is in similar condition. Hard work takes its toll eventually.
You made your pay packet my man...great work...respect from rhe UK.
Wow that was a heck of an undertaking, I enjoyed the video
Thanks!
Again it was a pleasure wathching you .take care.
Thanks you!
differently worth the 100$ good job God bless you and your family my friend
What a great work ethic you have. Just found your channel and will keep watching you do things you like and I enjoy watching. You should have way more subs. I’m going to stick your site in comments I make. Good luck brother. .....Mike..got to go now and catch up 👍😃
Wow thanks that's very kind of you.
Lol. Checking all the bushes for hidden scrap HAD to be one of the conditions of the deal.
Great work dude.
There was stuff hidden *everywhere* lol. Thanks for watching.
Great job sir, looks like you had a great helper in your son...my boy helped me scrap many times until he met the girl he was to marry and she was more fun than making money....
That's actually the property owner's son. That sounds pretty typical haha. Thanks for watching.
WOW, that loader is a Godsend! Makes short work of this kind of project. Thanks for the Vid!
Skid steer loaders are just about the best thing ever invented. Thanks for watching!
Great deal wins all around for everyone
Amazing job
So many opportunities
big projects like that take a lot out of you mental and physical
But the end result is so worth it
So much treasure 😳Great job and video thanks .
Thanks for the comment.
What “A POWER CLEAN UP ! Well Done Sir!
You came across an awesome deal and luckily had the means and equipment to move it, I know you were pressed for time but there was alot of stuff that Man left behind, although mostly small stuff, it looked like a lot of cast aluminum and probably some copper, and brass, just little things but they all add up on the check! Anyways great video and awesome scrap deal!
Yeah we left a fair but of stuff there. He was busy moving his personal belongings and I just ran plumb out of steam toward the end (in large part due to a respiratory infection I developed that week). We got most of it though and I did go back off camera and grab a few more things including that carport and some more scrap.
Thanks for watching!
You should change the title to what the amount 9of time it actually took.
@@artanddebearickson9729 no
Good job. I do a lot of can recycling myself. I walk roads for cans plus have people save for me. I have done copper by the barrel but need to get it. I've done all the recycling for money.
Massive job! Well done
Thanks!
Great job, like your channel. That is a ton of stuff
Thank you.
❤❤❤nice job.Your return of your money on all of it will great.
Had he come to you a couple of months sooner looks like you would have cleaned everything out. Great job
Yeah if I had had more time I would have got every last bit. Oh well. Thanks for the comment!
Dear AB guy.
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, simply fantastic. This was definitely a lot of work but also a lot of scrap metal value. Congrats! I hoped that the new owner of your friends property would let you take out the rest of the scrap metal too. There was still a lot of it sitting on the property.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
I'm sure someone got the rest of the scrap. The place is just an empty field now. Thanks for the comment!
Dear @@AlwaysBored123
You're welcome, it's my pleasure.
Thanks for replying and especially for giving a heart to my comment. I totally appreciate both very much.
Sincerely yours.
Tremendous work sir
Thanks
You should give the new owner a price to haul the rest of the junk to the land fill. Get a reasonable amount of money for the landfill fees...up front. It's nice to see the metal being recycled, planet earth thanks you. Nice job!
Thanks. The fire department actually came shortly after this and burnt down anything that was flammable. Then I believe a large contractor came and cleaned up what little was left. It looks completely different now it's just an empty field. I think it's going to be the entrance to a lithium mine eventually.
Great videos👍
Thanks I need to finish a few I've been working on.
What a great sound track to this video. BAMM
Awesome video keep posting ❤
Thanks very much!
I used to do that stuff when I was younger I still collect junk Keep the good workout
Some junk is good to have. Thanks for watching!
Impressed! I hope you made some real money - you're amazing! You need to own a scrap company! Good Work! 😁
Hey thanks! I made out alright.
By the way your good at what you do .keep it up God will bless you😊
Wow that was awesome ! What a mess leftover though for the new owners.... Hope you left them a card, for further cleanup.
The fire department burned it all down and some big contractor cleaned up the rest. It's just a nice empty field now.
the first some use a really good background music,rigth song. and a good job,man
That looks like fun. I never did a job that big
It would have been more enjoyable if I hadn't been on such a tight schedule but it was still pretty cool.
Keep it up, your content is 100k+ subs easy.
I doubted you until I saw your username. Thanks!
way to go ,taking your time sorting the metals is how you maximize your scrap $ profits
Watching you load up all those ride on mowers and the smaller tires and immediately thought "if someone is into small engine repairs, they could make some $$ off of refurbished lawn mowers" lol
Funny you should mention it because that's exactly what I did haha.
👍👍👍👍👍👌Great video!!!
❤ how you helped clean up that junk for that guy.
From Tampa FL
Thank you
This is a once in a lifetime deal!!
AWESOME VIDEO BY THE WAY
Thanks!
good job nice score!
Thanks!
At 20:20, that would make a good lawn mower carrier or just general purpose flat bed utility trailer. I have one of those trailers at 21:04 and there are times when those sides just get in the way.
I don't remember what happened to that trailer he might have taken it with him.
How and WHY would anyone accumulate so much trash and spread it all over the property. I do not understand. Oh, and a motorcycle too. I want it. With your skills, I would you working with me any time. Your business skills are great. Hard work is always appreciated.
Great video and an insane amount of work! That 2005ish Yamaha TTR 125L should fetch a few bucks if you got it up and going :)
Thanks! I need to fix that thing here before long.
Looks like a fun day!
Just came across your channel. I did watch the whole video because it was interesting lol. Thanks for sharing, btw no price for what you got for everything?
Thanks glad it was entertaining. I didn't post a price because they're so different everywhere but it was about $9,000 worth of scrap metal I think.
@@AlwaysBored123 That's awesome! You did a great job either way.
One man’s junk… is another man’s treasure….👍🏽
I would say you definitely won on that deal. Lot of work there, but for sure a win. Did I see a silver craftsman riding mower? I have one a free salvage I fixed up and started using this yr. If so I would be interested in the headlights for the right price.
Thanks I thought it was a fun project. Not in a huge hurry to do it again though lol. There were a bunch of Craftsman riders but they're all sold now.
Some people know how to pile it up, Others Know how to scrap, Very few know that some of that stuff, Could have been cleaned up and sold for much more than scrap prices. I was a scrapper when I was young. With the knowledge I know now, I wish I could go back and kick my own butt for some of the stuff I took across the scales.
Some things don't become valuable until enough of them get scrapped.
@@AlwaysBored123 Your not kidding, I've seen some big prices for stuff I took across the scales before. I guess the only thing I can say is they are welcome. Lmao
Great deal! The batteries in the old orange Lindè forklift thing are worth $500 dollars alone in scrap!
Man I wish. I think I got about $40 bucks for them.
seeing you drive around the skidsteer reminds me of the bob the builder days
That's how you friend got started laying stuff around don't let it stay too long
I got rid of it all except for a few things I wanted to keep and use.
great job
Your channel is going to do well my friend
Thanks I hope so!
I like the name of your channel.
I'm glad to hear it!
This is an impressive one-man show ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!
Ты хороший и отзывчивый человек.👏👏👏👏👍 Офигеть можно от этого, что и случилось со мной, я в шоке.
Thanks very much!
Супер ,хорошая работа 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯💯💯💥💥💥
Thank you!
@@AlwaysBored123 🤩❤️🔥
quite the operation.. here in AB Canada those beer an pop cans are 10 cent each..which you seem to have a small fortune of
There's no bottle deposit here (un)fortunately.
@@AlwaysBored123 dang.. i used to bring a garbage bag full..30$
Fairplay to you, 👍
You scored big time
Awesome job. Just curious what was your expense vs profit?
I have no idea. My gross revenue was about $6500 and I guess my expense was however much fuel it took and about 10 months of time lol.
Now if you wanted your property to look like shit then you nailed it!!
Good skid steer operator
Any flat tires?
Thanks. Surprisingly no I didn't get any flats that whole time.
Fair play to ya, you earn ya shilling. Did it ( on a smaller scale). Literally a carrier bag with a drop of non ferrous. It was enough to get you in to the boozer back in the 70's, here in Albion. Nostalgic.
That's a good s10 truck bed right there!! Worth about $250 to $400! To someone needing one
IIRC it was rusted out on the bottom.
@@AlwaysBored123 aah couldn't see that probably why the guy had it in the scrapyard!😎👍
Amazing amount of scrap new sub here
Thanks a bunch!
Hit a lick nice score!!!!!
Heck yeah!
That was a tremendous amount of work. How long did it take you to get to this point?
The initial clean out took about a week or 10 days iirc. The whole thing was filmed over two and a half months give or take. That was just working on it sporadically though.
@@AlwaysBored123 one more thing, you did an excellent job editing! In the future I would like to hear more narrating. Did you ever go back and get that wood stove? ❓❓❓❓❓❓❓🥪
@@Mr.Howell78k Thanks. Yes I got that, the carport, a trailer, and a few other odds and ends.
Recycling is a very important issue. Have you seen a de-production line for cars? .. cars are stripped on a line and seperated and the company in the Uk makes millions of cash either as scrap or re-use ! Its a huge industry across here in europe. Sweden for example actually export due to the fact they have too much ! -------------- Your doing a great Job.
No I've never heard of that. Here we just dump them into an enormous hammer mill that pulverizes them into little sortable bits. Although there are lots of used auto part junkyards around here too so most junk cars get picked pretty clean first.
Impressive!
Thanks!
So what was the approximate time ? Fuel costs ? And was your time worth , in other words about how much did you make for your effort in scrap so far ?
That's the main reason I watched the whole video !
About 10 days for the clean out then about 9 months to scrap and sell everything IIRC. Idk on fuel costs I didn't keep track. I think it was worth it but I'm not real eager to do it again.
Just curious I assume it was all worth it for the time, fuel, effort etc in the end if you calculated what dollar value per hour overall, as in your wage versus what you might make in other lines of work
Lol I didn't go anywhere near that in depth on it. My gross wage ended up being about $6500. I have no clue how many hours I had in it but I'm confident I would have made more working nearly any job for the same amount of time. This was done primarily to prevent all that stuff from going to waste. Profit wasn't the top priority.
You can simply mount that wire stripper sideways in a Craigslist drill press. Just set the pulleys on the lowest setting. Also put a short piece of wood under it and the table to force it up a bit because the chuck is probably held in with a taper fitting.
Oh....and the interesting thing is how low amperage a lot of small drill presses are. Sometimes 2.5 amps. So you might have to get one with more horsepower. It's surprising how much torque is needed to put that cutting wheel through plastic wire insulation.
That's a clever idea thanks. I was trying to think of a good way to attach a small motor to it. They do sell them like that but they're crazy expensive.
So how much money did you make an all the 10 and crap that you took in so far?
Thanks for doing it. If you hadn't got it Piedmont Lithium would have.
I'd take some of those old riding mowers! Except the one you dropped 😉
if my calcuations are correct it looks like you gained about $5,836.74 which is nice for $100 buy in of all the scrap you could haul.
Have you looked into smelting that stuff yourself? Maybe the copper or aluminum?
Not really. If you melt it down the scrap yard won't buy it so I'm not sure what the point would be.
how much did you make? what is the hourly?
Wow unreal load , how much did everything come to ? Money wise
About $11,500 after scrapping/selling everything.
How do you live like that? Love to see crap cleared up!!
Did you wind up keeping much of anything there?
Yes I kept a bunch of stuff. I showed most of it at the end. Not shown were a pipe rack, an equipment trailer, and a few other random odds and ends. I think.
i used a 4-1/2inch Heavy Duty Cut Off Wheel Angle Hand Grinder to cut the copper off the motors
I've seen lots of people do that but I don't like the copper dust it generates.
How long did this take in real time??? There is no way for your viewers to know the time line unless you tell us. Blue Sky's.
IIRC about 7-10 days for the initial cleanout and then about two and a half months after that to get most of the scrap hauled in. That was just working on it sporadically though.
RIP to the tractors and equipment, its unfortunate so much gets scrapped, but thats the way she goes.
I actually fixed and sold most of the mowers.
@AlwaysBored beauty, good work. I was thinking though, better to have it be recycled than the people who just let it rot back into the Earth. It all works out in the end.
Wow that was a lot of work
You made out gooooodddd
