Great job god bless
Thank you!
Copper king was running smooth for this video 👍
When properly dialed in it is a beast! lol
@@ProjectShopFl hell. Ya
One bad a** machine. Those jaws of life safe. So much work
Thanks! 👊
Haters gonna hate,you sir are The Copper King don’t gaf what the haters say your humility is quite admirable
Thanks!
Just love watching that monster strip wire
Thanks, Stay tuned just picked up a few 70' spools of 400 mcm. lol
@@ProjectShopFl very exciting I never miss an episode
Jaws was hungry today!
😂😂😂👊
Nice payout. Really nice that you can back your trailer into the shop and process straight off the trailer regardless of the weather conditions outside. Same goes for loading too. Way more convenient and efficient. "The Shop Dock" Redneck with a wire stripper HAHA!!! There is nobody on RUclips that I know of that has a Bad Ass Multi-Tasking machine like the "The Copper King". When you get the other pieces of equipment attached and up and running it will truly be the King. By a Mile!
Thanks 👊 I've been trying to keep up the pace and go through the hole shop. Its a win win I get space, find all my tools , and make some $$$ 😂😂😂
What a great bit off kit
Mr copper? Making copper great again.
😂😂😂😂
What a payment good job man
Thanks! 👊
Alot of antique bottle collectors would be interested in cut copper pellets for cleaning and tumbling purposes...you can reach a whole new audience and customers who would love to buy some off of you..usually 18-20 gauge copper is cut down into 1/8" pellets and sold by the pound and up in plastic containers..I'm gonna share this video to a few friends who do tumbling and cleaning...cool set up and thanks for a great video !!
Thanks, I've been wanting to sell chopped copper for a while. If you have not seen it check out my granulator and water sluice.

I’ve been waiting for a new video! LETS GO!
👊 Thanks
Just a redneck with a wire stripper! Sheeeaaat. That stripper doesn't dance around a pole and pays you in cash? Sheeeaaat! Yer the copper wizard then, since yer always producing the bright and shiny! Nice video.
😂😂😂 Thanks
This guy has some serious scrap connections. I’m sure he’s paying for most of it.
I pay for 95% of my scrap
great video i like watching your videos and what happened to your helper i havent seen him for awhile,thanks aging for the video keep them comming.
👍 Thanks, Steave has been working on his own projects.
That’s so satisfying.
Thanks!
always good to get notificated when your favorite RUclips channels uploads.
Thanks 👊
Great video
Thanks 👊
A little bit of WHOOP! WHOOP!
👊
ITS THE COPPER LIBERATOR!!!
😂😂😂
Brother you Do not need to explain yourself to anyone, your channel is awesome. I have only been watching a short while. If you look around on youtube no one has your setup. Look forward to seeing a rip out it would make an awesome episode. Kind regards from England brother
Thanks from the other side of the pond. 👍👊
LOL, All i can say your the man!!!! Never lose your hustle.
Thanks! 👊
Good to see you wearing eye protection, lot of kick back on those cables when they exit and I could see one slapping you in the face at some point. Stay safe!
Thanks, I've had to bob & weave a few times. lol
How the copper emperor lol
😂😂😂
Thanks Derick great profit 👍
👍
Man Derek, you’ve come so far in just these few years
Thanks! 👊
hey buddy, i love your hustle on things! where your other half i have not seen him lately. instead of the copper king king which does not fit your personality i like the Metal WHISPER instead LOL. have a good weekend and send my love to family!!!
😂😂😂 Metal Whisper 😂😂😂 Funny thing I just called Steve the Engine Whisper today.
Great job sir !
Thanks
Great video and great job
Thanks
Brother, just tell them to watch your videos and they will know what you mean by “The copper King”. You are a pretty straight forward guy it seems to me. If they think you claim to be anything other than what you are they haven’t been watching your videos. Keep up the good work and videos.
Thanks 👊
Love the compilation with the quad. Greetings from a Dutch hobby scrapper.
Thanks
Took 480lbs of #2 Cooper un today only got .30c per lbs . They aint paying enough in Tampa for me to mess with scrapping anymore.
They are ripping you off. I got $2.85 today in Miami. You should sell it to me. lol
.30c 💀
Fantastic 👍👍👍👍aku suka video❤mu salam dari Indonesia🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Thanks! 👍
The wire is slick to help pull in the PVC or EMT it's super fun running it off a spool to make smaller cuts then trying to get the tape to stick is even more fun
😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing
That's a sick stripping machine. Hope to watch more of your videos to identify what it is.
Thanks, I got it used and I modded it.
@@ProjectShopFlHi, I’m from South Dakota, where do you buy your used equipment from?
What an awesome machine
Thanks!
Brother if Your not The King at least The Duke of Copper
😂😂😂😂
Love it 👍👍
Thanks
Whoa this camera setup angle 2:15 took me back to the old place. Great memories!
Good memories much cheeper rent. lol I think that was a popular camera spot because I did not have a tripod and would put my phone in the early days then the gopro in the 2nd transformer press. You should have seen all the crazy contraptions I would use to get the shots. lol Thanks for watching my friend hope you and your family are doing well.
Some junkyard will wait a week or two to see if the copper is stolen. That's the way it's done in Tennessee
Wow, That sucks!
@@ProjectShopFl they do that to make sure that the copper isn't stolen
They do that here if you are sketchy looking.. luckily I’m semi normal looking 😂
love the comment." am not the copper king.....just a redneck with s wire stripper"! 😂😂😂😂😂
keep up the vids & the good work
Thanks 👊
I feel like the guys at your contractors are like oops I got an extra 30 feet of the red white and the black wire. Oh I guess we better call project shop you know not enough linked to do the next job lol.
😂😂😂
Derek do you have a video explaining what or how you pay for your pick ups and how you scale it on the job site?
or a break down of how you come up with what your willing to pay ? I've started a small recycling thing in Phoenix , evenn working on getting a small crane to scale out on site.
Thanks man I enjoyed the shop clean up videos this past week
Thanks for getting the spelling of my name right. lol I have made a few videos in the past and I will make a new one soon. look for how to find copper Pt 1 on my channel. Also the 2 live streams I go over a lot. Good luck on your biz
Copper king was hungry. He was chewing through those copper snakes like they were a snack.
I might be getting some really long pieces I might run 70' pieces .lol
Big Jim Bob Moffett is the global copper King. Freeport-McMoRan.
ok 👍
How you find those big wire man that’s so nice!. I’m started like a month ago scraping aluminum, copper , AC units and more. I’m from Sebring Florida Lol
Talk to electrical contractors. Good luck 👊
Hello Sir just came across your channel on RUclips you have very nice set up as a electrician in the U.K. I used to collect and strip copper cable from our jobs and used to scrap it I wish i had a set up like yours . I have subscribed to your RUclips channel great video
Thank you!
Up the baggies
I like that “I’m not some weirdo that refers to myself as the copper king”.
Thanks
You are doing good on your own. But what happened to Steve? Are you ever gonna have him back. If you don't mind saying?
Always a good show. Thanks.
I've always done good on my own. Sometimes better. Here's the deal, I don't need or want full time help. Scrapping is a hobby for me and I don't do it full time. I don't have full time work and I make that clear to anyone who helps me. Just like the kid that helps me it's only part time and I tell them don't quit your day Job. lol Both of them are welcome to come help out but they extremely busy with there full time jobs and I'm ok with that I just make more money. 😂😂😂
@@ProjectShopFl I understand that buddy. Thanks for breaking it down for me. I know I watch too much RUclips . Keep on making 'em and I'll keep on watchin' em'.
Any updates on the stator wrecker? I am starting to get the parts together after seeing how you are making yours
I will be working on it this week end, had a lot going on here lately.
How and where do you get this massive amount of copper wire ? If your buying it how do you determine the to you with all the plastic involved? Thanks Adley Firmin scrapping is very interesting
I pay local market prices for it.
A croissant
😂😂😂 Yes!
Where does copper wire like that come from?
This particular job was the power feeds that come from the power companies transformers to the meter cans and main breaker for an apartment complex. They were feeding 1000 AMP breakers
You have use some guards to protect the belts and yourself!
I will be putting some on soon.
Copper over here in England is £6.40 a kg don't know what that is in Dollars.I need a cable striper :)
Thanks for sharing, I stripping machine is a game changer
That's some serious cable. Wonder what that was used for? Looks like it can handle mega watts.
Nice.
It was the main feed to a 1000 AMP service for a apartment building
By the way , I don’t scrap for cash but I do melt and sand cast as a hobby. Could use a few pointers on getting copper . I’m in a small town.
Talk to the local electrical contractors. I would tell them what you are doing with the sand casting and if possible show them your products and offer to make them something with their own copper. Thats what I want to be doing here soon. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Kind of what I wast thinking . That’s for the reply
.Wow big copper accident better call the copper police we are all worried !😨
😂😂😂
Yep just found it laying around.....
I pay for all my scrap
👍👍
👊
Any copper day is a good day.not the blue and red noisy ones though...............🚔
Looking forward to see whats in a air conditioner.yay😊
😂😂😂
Question for ya. I got some large diameter 3 conductor cabling insulated with vinyl pvc. It puts of a very strong smell that can be a bit nauseating with no air movement in the garage. Does vinyl require respiratory equipment? Or nah. I prefer the practical answer if it's there.
The copyright king is one sexy machine. Beats my 2 by 4 with a drywall screw in the hole..
Thanks!
copper copper cash time
👊👍
Hey, I am working on getting 2 electricians to sell me their scarp wire to recycle it. I will buy small wires as well in the hope of building long-term connections and getting the big stuff as well. Do you have any tips for scrapping smaller house wires with a specific stripper, maybe with multiple same inputs? Or do you think a small shredding system would be worth it when I get more volume? For now, I will do it as a side hustle besides my apprenticeship and I want to test the scalability of it in my region. Your channel motivated me quite some time back and now I'm making my first steps. Thank you for your awesome and addicting content brother!
I would get a stripping machine first before a shredder. you can only shred small wire a stripper will strip just about all wire and bare bright wire is worth more than chopped copper. Look up copper mine or blue rock strippers. good luck and thanks for watching
Hey "Copper King." I absolutely love your site and am a loyal follower. Who gives a rat's hat what people call you? You got 27,000 followers!! GEEZ!! LOL!! Keep those great videos comin'!!
Thanks, Got some good videos coming up. 👊
Hey Derek I was wondering how do you acquire all the scrap you process. Meaning how did you put yourself out there to always have consistent amounts of scrap to process
Years ago I was buying HID transformers when no one else was, I also offer services no one does. I got in with a lot of big electrical contractors and then they would refer me to other people.
@@ProjectShopFl Okay cool thanks alot for the reply. I will definitely use that info and hopefully one day I can turn my small garage operation into a bigger scale like you do. Legend 👌 Thank you
Do y’all split the money?
You'll always be the copper king in my eyes! (jk I respect your request)
😂 Thanks
Where do you get all those wire from? I want in LOL.
😂😂😂 Electrical contractors
Your to funny ! You certainly could be called worse names! Ha ha! Always enjoy your videos of killing the scrap! Scrap on!
Thanks
Bring that shit to Kankakee Illinois. Was up to 3.10 now it's around 260
Thanks for the suggestion
Fuck the haters bro love your channel. Makes me step up my scrap game. Would love to know your secrets
😂😂😂 Thanks
Your the copper Queen
😂 🤡
Awesome. Where do you get your scrap from, as in what trades/industry?
Electrical
This would save me time and hand cuts of hard grafting sick off cutting my self you scrap guys will know what I mean
Where do you find this type of copper? (thickness)
Industrial building and main feeds in to big buildings and apartments
Hi grat Jon.qhere did typu get hat machine?thanks
I got it used from an electrical contractor
Hey I do the same thing Scrap copper what places do you go to to get that big wire like that
Electrical contractors
How and where do you acquire these jobs to get all the copper?
I buy it from electrical contractors.
Ok thank you
your set up don`t need explaining we all know the set up is the copper king your just the brains behind it all lol
Thanks 👊
how do you get rid of all the plastic coating
Local dump
There is a guy who calls himself "King of Copper" on youtube who is a total menace with powertools. I am waiting to hear that his new nickname is "lefty".
I have never called my self "Copper King"
@ProjectShopFl never said you did, was speaking of another individual, one lacking your skills and abilities.
@@OldGrayCzechWolf My bad dude, I mis read that at 2 in the morning when I definitely should have been sleeping. lol
Hey brother. When picking up that big copper wire. Do you just make an offer or do you buy it by the pound? If so, do you offer at #1 insulated 93% recovery? Hope all is well with ya. Peace!
I pay local market prices and offer free pick up
@@ProjectShopFl so you pay what the yard is paying for unstripped wire and strip it for bare brite ?
Hey brother, what’s the name of the machine you were using when you placed the copper wires in
I call it the Copper King, but that's because I've modded it. They are wire strippers you can get online.
@@ProjectShopFl i need one of those, if you can customize one for me i will pay you a Decent amount where you can make profit
how do you get all that copper cable?
Buy it from electrical contractors
Hi iam 14 and iam doing too copper mining ,stripping but i have a question where did u get too much cables??😊😊❤
Electrical contractors
Most of the copper scrap sellers wanted advance before inspection is it safe if not how to buy on Safeway please
?????
man i would love to come and work for/with you i love this stuff. what do you think?
Thanks but I'm not needing extra help at the moment.
Whats Kind of cable are this?
Probably 500 mcm. Some main feeds for a building or something.
Where you. Getting all the wire from
Electrical contractors.
how do you get so much cable?
Electrical contractors.
Did you give up on your granulator? If so, would you sell it?
Nevermind. You answered my question at 10:23
No, I am trying to find a new shaft, might have to make one.
Trying to find me on. I work on 18 wheelers in texas and have harnesses constantly being replaced. A granulator would take considerably less time than trying to strip all the spaghetti wire
where do you find this
I got it from an electrical contractor. It was for an AC system
He/Him/They/Them/Copper King. HAHA
😂😂😂
What tool is that in the beginning
It's a jaws of life rescue tool
bro copper prices in europe are huge 3 dollers is so low compare to us
are you selling by the LB?
@@ProjectShopFl lb?
I understand what you’re saying bud, but I think everybody’s still gonna call you the copper king 😆
I know, but I at least had to try and set the record straight. I guess it's not too bad I could be called worse. lol Thanks for stopping by Thub 👍 👊
Get to work thub! Need more videos!
How come you don't get into tearing ac apart?
Maybe I will since the HID transformers are coming to an end. I use to recycle them for a union School but it can be messy and a lot of work.
Is Steve still working with ya?.
You really do need someone to just strip wire all day but I totally get you'd have to really trust them.
Steave is working full time on a project at the moment.
