Me again, as I was showing a workmates this video, he noticed how particular that plate was. He told me it must predate drum dives bottle machine. I'm guessing it's from an old G-50. That might be the only one left in existence. Again glad you like it and make it an family heirloom...
I scap those water heaters for a company as my side job, man they pay SO well its crazy how good the scrap is, and turning in a few thousand pounds worth of compressors is always fun
I really like your channel and you do a great job. You remind me of Bob Vila back in the early days of This Old House show, your speech and your body language and the way you move it's just like him, it's pretty wild.
@@richavic4520 it's a bottom plate for bottle making machine. It's a bronze alloy that takes a beating of hot glass bottles... Minnox/mynoxx it's called. Don't know if I spelled this correctly, just bronze alloy.
May be a ship component. Solid brass, beautiful. Glad you've met Mike the Scavenger and Paul, Scrap and Pallet Man. Any video you have put out is a valuable teaching guide helping all of us to learn about the value of scrapping and microscrapping. Be safe, wear those gloves, tetanus shot!
I don't know what that thing is but I do know on the water heater you did miss the thermometer which is made up of brass. It's part of the aluminum hunk that's on the side you unscrew it. And there's a hunk of brass on it. I like how you mentioned Mike the scavenger I'm very happy that you're able to get a nice gift. 👍
That piece almost looks like material post top cover maybe or a mini spaceship lol. Good video love your energy and your personality keep it up buddy!!!!
Wow! I've been finding bubkiss recently. All those wheels and appliances too. And you are pulling a couple cents more per pound then down here in Missouri. Good for you!
Hey thub, just a tip. Give the light ballasts a swift heel kick, and they'll fall right off making your days much easier and brighter. You may already know this and just not feel like smashing things as it is much quieter to just remove the screws.
I would like to hear the answer to this question too. People look up to you, man. When people see you scrapping a water cooler, or worse an air conditioner without mentioning how important it is to reclaim the refrigerant, then they will do the same. It’s important that the scrapping community help protect the environment and take appliances that contain refrigerant to an appropriate location to have the refrigerant professionally reclaimed. Venting the refrigerant into the atmosphere to get a couple of dollars of scrap is never acceptable.
Wild guess here, but that thing with the maple leaf on it looks a little like the things they use on naval guns to plug the bores and stop water going down them. I have a welder friend who makes wood stoves from steel wheels and gets a good price for them too.
Oi you, are you my next of KIN? Good guess, but a no on Naval cannons or such. It's a bottom plate for bottle making. Funny you mentioned naval guns as if you must of known my father who was in the Navy, I insisted in the Marines, same department, kind of sucks. But, BLESS YOU, my next of KIN!!!!
Being a scrap panda myself, I micro scap like yourself,, but when I'm out for the steel I take the lot,, you left a canny bit scrap when you picked up golf clubs 🤔
You are certainly getting some good metal hauls lately Thub - and your truck sure is earning its keep! How's the scrap price going over there? Still holding, or dropping like here in Australia? How about fuel prices? I'm glad I cashed in my whole yard of scrap earlier this year! 😁😁
Yes exactly. I don’t show it every video but you drive onto the scale when you get there, drop one material in the yard, then drive around back onto the scale and then drop another material, then a final tare weigh at the end
you seem cool, not much of a scrap guy but seen some stuff on the internet. how does the percentages work? dollar per hour, gas cost for the truck, gross profits and such. is it something you do on the side or does it pay well enough to be full time?
Hey kind off topic question. Do you think that it worth it taking apart a car and selling the reusable things and scraping the metal parts is worth? Or just selling it whole or the least profitable scraping the car while at the junkyard. This is for a late 90 pick up that has 200k and I don’t realistically see someone paying me more than $700 for.
There’s all kinds of regulations and stuff that makes scrapping a car a nightmare. It’s to keep people from stealing stuff off of cars or stealing cars for a chop shop. Most newer catalytic converters have serial numbers for this reason.
When someone tosses something in the scrap pile that has a bunch of different metals on it, does it just get mixed up and melted into one with the rest of the metals or does someone take it further and separate them like you do?
Why do you disassemble things on road, those screws can puncture someones tyres. Also breaking compressor lines emits a lot of dangerous gases into air. I support your work, but that was not really eco.
the reality of those water coolers is they end up releasing the gas anyways at the dumb or scrap yard. those water coolers are not like ac units they pretty much never have the gas recovered.
Tyler and Steven are awesome! 😃 And so is Drake!
Bless you, Brother Paul. Just remember I'm that Ralph Hinkley that sent you that wire stripper..
Still haven't found the instructions papers, sorry, 😂
@@stephensmith3708 was it the heavy wire stripper over a year ago?
2 uploads in 2 days
Didn't know canadian Christmas was celebrated in September 😁
I was going to say almost the same thing haha gotta love back to back videos from Thubprint! Cheers
🤣🇨🇦
Them golf clubs were worth a lot more money to sale than scrap. Old Callaway clubs are worth a good price
You the man it's like I know you personally like you're get up and go attitude thanks for the videos
It adds up

Good mixed load of goodies. 👍
Good JOB Thub!!
Canadian brass piece looks like a “Doorknob “
Second like, first response, good guess but no. That piece is used in bottle making, bottom plate.....
Good how you process everything at side of dumpster i end with grab bags full of plastic i going sart taking tools out with nice1 thumbs 👍
Big piece of brass
I really like your channel and you do a great job. You remind me of Bob Vila back in the early days of This Old House show, your speech and your body language and the way you move it's just like him, it's pretty wild.
I’m addicted to your videos by far my favourite RUclipsr
I love the melt videos. I hope you do one for the ac.
What have we done to deserve 2 awesome videos in 2 days? Thanks broski!
You are an amazing scraper to watch. So enjoyable!🇨🇦
I really liked that weirdly cut stump. Use that larger end and make a river-style cutting board out of it, using food-safe epoxy.
Yep, I was referring to that king scavenger, Mikey. Not my real cousin, it just fits in that region. Glad you like it!
Make it a family heirloom.....
So what is the piece?
@@richavic4520 it's a bottom plate for bottle making machine. It's a bronze alloy that takes a beating of hot glass bottles...
Minnox/mynoxx it's called. Don't know if I spelled this correctly, just bronze alloy.
I was Just watching Shark Scrapper then I see Thub's 2 for 2 and I had to hold off filming and enjoy the show! Cheers Thub! 😎👍🏼
Great video, Thub. I wish dumpster diving were as relaxing for you as it is for me.

NO! BLESS YOU SISTER CUZ!! OORAH SEMPER FI, it's just a piece of bronze. Glad you are watching after distant cousin, Thubby-boyee!

Question, you passed on two can lights, patio chair and a fan was this on purpose? Why? Just curious. 😎
Good scrap day! 👍
God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇨🇦
So I also don't understand why he doesn't take all scrap even if it doesn't make him all the money he wants
@@terridionne7729 inquiring minds want to know. 🤣
Congratulations for such a good heavy hunting, (almost half a ton of metals? Wow!🤯 ) A big hug from Argentina!
Great vídeo!
Super awesome video brother. Keep doing your thing and I'll keep watching. On behalf of the planet thank you!
To pull out a bit of Cu wire from ballasts, use needlenose plyers instead of cutters.

The gas reg on the water heater has copper and brass easy to get
Thanks Thub! Have learned a lot from your channel! I really enjoy scraping… I work construction so I see dumpsters everyday.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing
I believe that is the top cap off of a flagpole or maybe a scooner mast
Wow! I've been finding bubkiss recently. All those wheels and appliances too. And you are pulling a couple cents more per pound then down here in Missouri. Good for you!
CAD vs USD
Sweet haul Thub! Nice gifts too! Keep doing the thing 🦝
9:07 that's a stubborn dink!

How did you scrap the water cooler without venting the refrigerant into the atmosphere? I always walk away from those for this reason.

You forgot to mention the scrap farm. Burt does the same stuff we all do that watches the videos. Keep doing the thing thub!!!
Wild guess here, but that thing with the maple leaf on it looks a little like the things they use on naval guns to plug the bores and stop water going down them.
I have a welder friend who makes wood stoves from steel wheels and gets a good price for them too.
Looks like a top to a urn to me but just a thought, keep on keeping on .
@@jefferyshankles7870 Inquiring minds need to know 😉
Oi you, are you my next of KIN? Good guess, but a no on Naval cannons or such. It's a bottom plate for bottle making.
Funny you mentioned naval guns as if you must of known my father who was in the Navy, I insisted in the Marines, same department, kind of sucks. But, BLESS YOU, my next of KIN!!!!
My guess is that heavy brass “knob” with the maple leaf is from a boat or government building.
LIKE GIVING BIRTH SOME TIMES😄😄😄😄
Did you ever find out what that brass thing is? Looks like the top of an Urn.
Being a scrap panda myself, I micro scap like yourself,, but when I'm out for the steel I take the lot,, you left a canny bit scrap when you picked up golf clubs 🤔

That piece you had was minnox
Great video - how were you able to get a breakdown of the parts did you weigh each drop off point ?
Yes exactly. I don’t show it every video but you drive onto the scale when you get there, drop one material in the yard, then drive around back onto the scale and then drop another material, then a final tare weigh at the end
Remind me why you always take the ballasts out of the lights? I know there’s a reason but I forget
Usually lot’s of copper in them
you seem cool, not much of a scrap guy but seen some stuff on the internet. how does the percentages work? dollar per hour, gas cost for the truck, gross profits and such. is it something you do on the side or does it pay well enough to be full time?
Did you leave those first dumpsters better than you found them?
Thub, just a fyi today took a load in tin 0.70 heavy metal steel #1 0.13, just a heads up and I don't understand
Golf clubs I believe are zinc. That's what I was told.
It wouldn't make a difference. Cast is cast.
Did you ignore a CRT TV..? 2 vids in a week wooohoooo
You could sell those stumps to wood workers and make a NICE little profit
What is the name brand of those gloves?
I think it's from the back of a cannon. Canadian kind.
Youneeda magnet
😂Toronto's maple leaf , Canada
Cordless sawzall.... cut the aluminum extrusion in half and pull the 2 pieces out....
I'm in Illinois and the cities have laws that searching dumpsters is illegal.
Wonder what has happened to " Free is better 81. " Channel , no new videos for a long time 🥺

I know one thing. Do not take apart a cat. Heard you won't get squat for a bag of brital dust.

Didn't u have a red truck ?? Am I losing it ??
It looks a Canadian border marker very illegal!

@@E-hab thank you!
Clean around the area. Leave it cleaner than when you found it
20:42 welches fruit snacks represent
It’s a paper weight
You let them stumps go to waste, didnt ya.
They really bury them
I had 5 frigs tore all plastic out , slot lighter
To recycle and save the Earth but instead you throw metal pieces back in the dumpster, I don't understand.
I v do!¡!!!
That was a sex swing lmao😂

Why do you use a ball peen hammer
Picking up scrap metal on garbage day is one thing but going thru people garbage like bro just get a side job or something
So you believe perfectly good things should go to the dump instead? Don't care much for the planet do you?
That is his side job
Cousin, be humb!!!
Great video
