I find cord work very relaxing 😎
Your cord cutting ✂️ and talking is great it nice to have more of it👍👍👍
Ben - thank you so much for the shout out. I am truly humbled. You've taught me so much over the years and it was your encouragement that caused me to start this channel. As my way of saying thanks I'll commit to holding a give away when I hit 1,000 subscribers. The prize will be a half oz silver coin from the PERTH mint. One of the shark series of course.
Just checked out your channel Shark & subbed. Always great to network and good onya Ben for doing shout-outs! 👌
I subscribe
Shark Scrapper, Good Morning from Allentown, Pa. E Waste Ben recommended your channel in one of his videos! I already started watching and I enjoy them.
Good luck with your channel, heading over to check you out now and will sub. Take care, Poo
Shark Scrapper what part of Florida?
I love scrapping videos, even if it's just a cable.
I cant believe I just watched an hour and a half video of cutting ends off wire. The great part is... i have no regrets, it was very enjoyable. Love the videos, stay healthy and safe out there, best wishes from Canada!
I could watch this all day dude there's something satisfying watching someone process and I would be in heavan with your bins and types shears sorting and processing
I like to watch your videos while i play online games, i have 2 screens and have you on the one screen and my game on the other, i watch every one of your videos completely and have done for years, i just find it relaxing and interesting, you seem like a really genuine nice guy, thanks for your content!
An hour&thirty well spent in lockdown here in Wales. Cheers Ben
Keep the videos coming Ben! I watched the whole thing like I always do. I love having your videos playing while I’m doing my own scrapping - it’s like having a buddy in the shop with me chatting while we work.
I dont know what it is about cutting cords but I find the repetitiveness is relaxing. I have no idea why I just do
Idk why but watching you cut wires while I'm doing stuff in garage is therapeutic lol. Or just listening to you talk
Mini scrap marathon!!!!!!!
Yeeeeeeey
watching you sort everything and process everything is very satisfying
I'm imagining a more purpose-built wire scrapping station for you, Ben.
You're a pro and will be processing wire for many years to come. Spend some time up front creating a system to improve your work flow and save you tons of time AND motion later. Create a work bench high enough to put a shorter wheely bin or four beneath. a pedal operated shear on the right corner, blades scissoring away from you. Below the shear, off the right side of the bench is a gutter for the bits to fall in. Under the far end of the gutter is the gold recovery, under the closer end is the junky junk. Cleaned wire gets combed forward, off the table and down into a rolly bin. Your wire stripping machine could have a permanent home around the other side of the bench.
You could start simply by just hose clamping those garden shears to the top edge of a bench, rig it all up with some board, chain, hinges, pulleys, etc. You'd want your shear to open back up automatically with a spring or counterweight. Extra points for getting the work station properly lit with some LEDs!
Great shout out for new RUclipsrs! Keep doing that! Keep up the good work!
Haha, so cute! 😊😍☺️🐓🐔🐈The voice of your chicken and your cat 😊 Great! Work from home 👍
Keep doin your thing ben, love your channel. Oddly enough ive been waiting for a wire processing video. Love the marathon videos... scrap on!!!
I made breakfast with my tablet and headphones on watching and listening i stayed untill the end
“Garden shears the cheaper the better” ewaste Ben great saying
These videos inspired me to start looking for cables in hard waste. I really enjoy it and have found some cool items
That's awesome that u gave the shark a free plug! I was already a subscriber of his but I hope he gets a ton of new viewers
I don’t scrap, but loving your videos. I find them relaxing and have learned a lot.
Ben
tover taught me how to scrap
U.s.a
Living the dream, saving the earth, and making a buck. Good for you.
Awesome, new content. Was losing my mind over here!
Ben, on my second go around on the marathons!!! I love them. As I have learned, things have become sooo much more interesting. Thanks
You may find it boring and tedious cutting all the wires but it is by far my favorite, nice and repetitive. And it's always a bonus watching the bin get emptier and emptier.
Yrs Ben. Don’t know how you think of things to say. But watching you reduce your stash to bare minimum is my favorite. Cutting cords, opening computers or set top boxes and sorting
Save able items is good. Id like to be able to sit at your bench and reduce all your stuff while you get more. Guess im weird like that. He he
Cutting plugs my favorite, I'd help you out free of charge! 😉 Stay safe Ben!
invent something to cut them without using your hands... something to make your work easier. You are savage with wire processing... keep up the good work!
Thanks for this Ben - it gave me the motivation to start on the big pile of cables and boards I have waiting to process myself. With all the time we have on our hands at the moment this is a great way to be productive and get those time consuming tasks dealt with.
Hi Ben good to see you again nice to have a chat with your subs you were not boring at all we are all still learning lots from you no matter what you are doing so keep safe and well and looking forward to next vid cheers
It's glorious weather here (unusually), and I've just spent an hour and a half indoors with the curtains closed, watching a man chop plugs off cables. Greetings from Yorkshire.
I'm so sad it came to an end. I'm one of those who doesn't switch off or fall asleep, just love your videos. Be careful picking up that scrap with this virus being able to live on plastics and metal for hours or even days. Take care, Poo
Does anyone else find this type of video oddly satisfying
holy shit! thats nightmare lev of cables! try wearing a glove while doing the snipping!
wish i could help! this uk lockdown is soooooooooo boring! you help us all stay sane 😊
ben, its good to talk... you need something to stop you going crazy doing repetative stuff like this... we are all mates and appreciate your company even if it is over youtube! its like going to the pub with your mates (or a sports event etc), company and the knowledge that folks are out here still for you 😊
Love watching you do all your scrapping 👍😎
Cheers fella for the content, over in the lock down in the uk any and all content is appreciated. The longer the better.
To bad you don't have someone to help you with all that wire, you have a lot. Thanks for the video Ben !
I kept coming back to this video over a period of a few days, watching it in stages. It was restful and a nice gentle pace compared to, say, your street-scrapping videos. Cables are my favourite things to process and I don't have any at the moment, so it was nice to share yours in the meantime :D :D Thanks for what you do, Ben.
124,000 views, Ben. It is absolutely magnificent scrap-along-with-me fodder. No wonder you're the best. This is my third time watching this right through.
Thanks Ben, the video is now finished and my six pack beer too. xD
Hi I am new to your channel I find it very interesting .and I'm watching your old videos
I'm a longtime viewer and seen all of Ben's videos and I regularly rewatch the old ones. I always laugh when he mixes up microwaves with vacuums!!
YESSSSSSS YOU FOUND YOUR GARDEN SHEARS AND THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEY
Hey Ben! COVID-19 locks-downs led me to your channel a few weeks ago; your ingot melting videos got me into scrapping. I just started an eWaste recycling program myself. Thanks for being an inspiration!
Maybe you've posted one before, but if you had enough material from gold recovery, a video melting a gold ingot would be legendary!
He made a gold button out of ram
That moment when you always comment saying he talks about the same thing too much and realize it's the only time he really talks to anyone. My bad Ben, I've gotten to.really enjoy your videos
Hi Ben, I’m watching this video and thought I’d take time to say stay safe and hope things are going well for you. It’s a mess here in the U.S. could last a few months. Andy from Allentown, Pa.
I am just beginning to collect wires and phones and laptops sure interesting hobby to get in to I live in British Columbia Canada nice to watch your channel
Why not build some sort of workbench guillotine for the wires to cut a handfull at once and sorting bins attached for the ends.
They do make machines for that kind of work. It's a wire stripper it's called that has a motor. You can find RUclips videos on it
@@waterup380 Well, there are custom power tools for almost every process if you're willing to invest, but it's more satisfying to craft your way around with your own scrap bits and pieces. Hand cutting seems a bit Sisyphean to me due to the slow progress and also time consuming.
Yes I know I been doing that stuff all my life
My dad did it before I was born so I know. Plus watching some people doing scrap on RUclips I kinda already know how much there are going to make before they even hit the scrap yard. So in a Down time like this if the scrap yard is closed why not take the time to clean your copper and brass stainless steel and aluminum because you will make more money even if the price is low has it is still.
Yes some automation could cut the time immensely as well as save the hands.
That'd be great for him. His hand is not going to like doing this kind of work for much longer.

Hello from south central Texas, USA
Totally enjoyed this video.Look forward to the next one.
So much copper wire ♻️💵 thanks for the vid. Im a newbie scrapper do it just for fun only got one wheelie bin and a few tubs for my wire, my eyes lit up seeing all that cord keep scrapping 👍cheers🍻
loved watching your vid and hear you talking ben as i have started doing my cables to day as we are on lock down here in uk but i am not as fast as you ben you are like a machine chilled me out ben watched right to the end and shared keep up the good work more vids and keep safe loved the chickens cheers mate
No not asleep. thanks again for sharing....
great instructive scrap wires video, a good challenge !!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING RECYCLING WIRE FOR PRECIOUS METALS. SINCE FLORIDA IS NOW A "STAY AT HOME" , FINISHING QUITE A FEW TASKS; INCLUDING CUTTING CORD ENDS AND STRIPPING COPPER WIRE. THANKS AGAIN BEN.
Holy crap im so happy, i love watching this stuff, do more vids like this
Maybe you could devise a machine to grind the brass out of the plugs?
1:15:18 Doing alright! lol. For the 3rd half of us, chord food is the most satisfying aspect of the job :)
On a side note, pay attention to how people say 'alright' around the world. Here in Fort Wayne, Indiana, alright has devolved to a quick guttural grunt akin to 'aw ite'.
Alabama here, we say it the same as y'all. To pull the brass plugs, a good small bench vice and a pair of channel lock pliers works really well
Great video my friend.....watched the whole video while i stripped some wire
👍stayed awake till the end I wanted to watch you put yourself through what I’ve been doing the last few days,we think alike on the virus situation.ive been in lockdown for weeks but on the plus side I now get four weeks to the gallon on fuel👍
You should do more videos like this where your just processing and talking. Love your vids.
With each cut or pulling of wire... You know where every dollar is coming from. Being the master to your own destiny is the ultimate in freedom.
Another great video now I know a lot more about How to scrap my cards
I mow lawns for a living along with some scrap life! Grass still needs to be mowed and scrap still needs to be picked up! These are essential businesses!!
mowing lawns is a foot in the door, offering to take away old electronics for free is a bonus for client and you, everyone has an old tv or something electrical to get rid of.
Thanks Ben for putting out a video. When it comes to scrap I don't care what you do I will watch. Keep doing things your way cause that's what I like. However, I'm a domestic chooks lover. Please, can you do a, or combine a video, with a sit down chat/hand feeding of the chooks? Please. Thanks for sharing and I'm switching over to the Shark Scrapper now. 👍👍
Ben get yourself a $5 pair of Trojan aviation snips from Bunnings and leave the garden shears for the roses. Trust me, it will be the best $5 you ever spend. lol
I would recommend some tin snips, im not sure what they are called in australia but i got this really nice pair that are really comfortable for my hand and will cut anything, everyone says they get dull really quickly but if you get a decently nice pair they will last you forever, ive cut lots of thick cords with it and i also just snip off brass from plugs and my hand never gets tired, would definetly recommend for that volume of cords
Yeah we have tin snips, I use them for cutting my wires, a decent pair with the little serrations are awesome, good spring so better on the hand fatigue.
SOOOOO MUCH WORK - SOOOOOO MANY WIRES - WOW !!!!
Hi ben i do a little scrapping here in fla. Enjoyed your vidio stay safe.
Ben's Bin chat. very enjoyable.
Nice video man, enjoying watching whilst the lock down is on here in the uk.
Nice hoard of cords!!!! I have been playing catch up in my garage also!!!!
Love the new vid.
Those pins on that Cisco plug are almost as good as the gold pins on the board that I txted to you. 😉
i live in the uk and luckily get my scrap from work as i work in plant hire, i see street scrap once in a blue moon lol
You should do more of these scrap sessions during the lock down
Ah, Ben gettin' to the wheels bins, Nice. Steel in Illinoisnorthern part is paying 65 per ton or 3.25 per lb for the light weight, 85 per ton or 4.25 for heavy steel.
Hey Ben.
I use gardening bypass secateurs to cut my insulated wire. It's a lot better than side cutters.
Cheers from Bondi Scrapper
Mine are Felco. Heaps better than the ones you have
Good job Ben! Made my day! I hope you will upload more this period:)
I took me 3.5 days to trim 10lbs of sim cards! Did that during quarantine started picking up old Electronics as well!
love the vids mesmorising watchin you work top job
back ground noise man. thnx for that . scraping RAM flaiks .. by your method :D thnx for that too .allmost 1 in the morning here in italy
I don't know what it is about the cords, but I just love it 😂❤️
Always nice to see what your up to. Wish I had a pile of wire. Stuck inside nothing else to do!
Hi Ben I'm sorry i might be a dollar short or a penny too many. I like your show just like others. You are a straight shooter that's what I like. I'd like to commit on everything but I don't want to bore you good show 👍 from me
Its like watching paint dry😆 Ok after it, i will watch my gras grown up
I love it!
More cord cutters please
I'm not a scrapper i tune cars watching this youre vid is relaxing
Catching up here in the US. I have about 40 large kitchen appliances to break down.
Yer we are on lock down here in the UK nearly every scrap yard has closed and price of scrap has dropped like most places.so just stock piling working from the work shop watching your videos like I've done for long time lol.im going more ewaste and non ferrous now leaving the iron alone.enjoy your vids keep them up keep us going take care
If you boil the moulded plugs for a bit bud the brass pins will pop out like you wouldnt believe 👌
I love this tech, and don't process plugs until the turkey frier pot is full
I use the stand, but not the propane- hotplate to keep 'em warm while i work through them at the bench vise w/ vice grips. It's worth the time to sort them by type before heating for less vise adjustment between types of plugs.
I let em bubble on top of the woodburner, nice and easy 🕯🔥
Data cables gold recovery: If you have bins of them just smash them then throw the whole lot into some nitric acid broken plastic and all, then discard the liquid, processs the foils with aqua regia and presto.
have you seen the automatic wire strippers that separate the insulation from the wire you can just feed any size into like the nitech machine
Good work
I love the sounds of your chickens talking in the background.
I am sitting in my scrap shack taking apart switches for silver contacts.
Nope not asleep yet. been watching from the start. paused to type this at 1:15:44
when you get to a certain level in the bins, I recommend you dump the rest on the bench. Otherwise, you'll be bending over WAY too much with all you've got to go thru. Save yer back!
I was thinking he should just tip it over into a pile on the floor when he was sat down
This is my 2nd time watching it
lol same
Great Video Ben Keep Bringing The Videos Dude Pray For Us Here In United States God Bless The World.👍👍
Would love to see you go though that gold recovery bin
Pay my ticket i will come help you cut wires just for the fun of it
that's what I was thinking, we all sitting around a big tub of wire, chatting and cutting wire
@@roseydays :)
@@roseydays i can see that you are a great human being just with that comment
