If you enjoy something and you get to do it, that's a blessing in itself. I hope I dream of being a scrapper when I retire. Enjoying life. Thank uou kind sir.
Dear God I'm glad I don't need to mess with those types of plugs on this side of the pond. Way too much work. But this has been a fun little journey into the culinary world of plugs 👩🏼🍳
Nice wrap up Ian! Our Aussie plugs don't have fuses, or as much brass as your big chunky ones... so probably less likely to be viable. I did a video ages ago with leaving the plugs in the hot sun and it did certainly help but it was still hard on the hands! I am still saving plugs with the hope of discovering a better way! Happy new year!
Another brilliant video there Ian. Nice to see in your kitchen other than the copper salt and pepper shakers the copper fruit bowl and copper topped bread bin lol hope your rum worked on the shoulder, I can sympathise I currently have a bad back. Looking forward now to getting on with my plug soup and getting all that lovely brass. Defo worth doing at 95p more per KG. I know you said it took you a long time but let’s not forget you did probably 100’s if plugs in that time, to do the 13 I doubt it took that long. Thanks for the video.
“Easy peasy, plug soup for the masses “ Is it worth making? Yes for your enjoyment and for our entertainment. 👍 I call that a great success. Well done Ian 👏👏👍😀 Bonus ending. A lathe and mill teaser! 🙏😀
Thankyou for this! Was looking at my pile of plugs just before Christmas and thinking what's the best way? Even did a price breakdown,defo worth it..scrap life
Fantastic job Ian loved every minute have done a of plug soup as soon as i get a pan full i put it on the gas cooker happy new year look forward to watching you for another year 👍👍👍👍
Good Golly. My oh my. First of all. Thanks for the sout out. Second. You like Blue! She is my new favorite tool and yes, she is a Brick Hammer. Third. I have cooking experience, decades of it. I would only take out a few plugs at a time and keep them in hot water. Any heat source will be helpful. Just letting them sit out to cool. Each one becomes more difficult than the last.
@@Man-in-da-shed I miss Snobby Scrap Picker and Dusty Blonde Vlogs and their videos. Reminded me of when I found your channel. The pandemic was worldwide and you lost your job. I had just been laid off. Your situation scared me at the time. Things have definitely improved for both of us.
Put that backing part with the Brass Feral in the Plug Soup. Pull It out when it’s Warm seems like it’s Easier than Drilling and the Punch. Great Videos !!!
Well worth the wait and anticipation. Great explanation and well worth doing. Hope you had a great new year (even though you pulled a muscle). Take care, Poo
Hi Ian, glad your soup was 6.8x tasty! Wouldn't be surprised if this was all done with a big fire in other countries who care less about the environment! Cheers, Jon
It's time to up the ante Ian. Here in Australia we have different plugs to you. So I'm going to try this plug soup and even freezer plug. I will do a video and post it up when I have a few more plugs. All this time I been chucking them out. Not any more....... Thanks Ian. Great Video Bud.
So the freezer method works well, down side is bits of hardened rubber/plastic become projectiles. I highly recommend you don’t do it that way. Everyone, Stick to Ian’s soup method please, for safety sake’s.
Helloy garrage ad dismantle friend, many good work done, i have my last plug about 1,5 kg of them 🤣 many work hehe, i see you maaany plugs dismantled woow amazing amount
Interesting tekkers Mr M, I like the plug soup idea, another thing I've tried is letting them have a good sunbathe in the summer, the plastic softens nicely too that way, but generally I use two pair of five holds ( one set to hold the plug, the other to twist the pin) and pull the buggers apart. a bit like you were doing after their hot bath ! As for the awkward brass bit left in the lids, I attack that with a sharp pair of side cutters, like you I've not found a better way yet but it works pretty well, keep up the good work mate, and a Happy New year to you and yours !
Highlight of the video when the pan fell 😂. He has some good idea's Snobby Scrap Picker. Not a bad weight of brass. 6.8 time's the profit not bad at all.
LOL 😂 I keep all of the fuses too. Hey I’ve used about one. I put mine in a bench vice and pull them out with pliers. But it still not easy and sometimes I hit my hand ✋ on the bench vice that I try to keep covered with something softer but I start to bleed 🩸.
Your a pretty handy guy. Have you thought about making a small hammer mill ? That would make short work of those plugs and so many other things as well. Great video
HNY Ian!!!! You got an arbor press ? Just wondering if you could push them through the back? Never tried anything like that so I'm a bit green on this sort of thing. Cheers Neil
Hey Ian !! Drill 3 holes in a plate that corresponds to the pins on the plug. Clamp it vertically in your vice. Put the plug through the back of the plate and use your grips like using a claw hammer or crow bar. Will save your hands mate 😁
Have you tried no drill just punch and hammer Here in the states our plugs are not nearly as robust and all I use is 2 par snips and roll the bras and copper out
Hi ..Ian I have been doing that since snobby showed everyone how to. You should leave them in the hot water and pull them out as you are working on them.
For the brass ferrules, I just find a screw driver that just fits in, sometimes it needs a dink, sometimes it doesn't and then just push down like a lever and it almost just pulls it out👍
For that little brass get a all threaded screw , washer , old socket .Put the socket over the brass washer on top screw the small screw in pull out the brass .
You're pulling prongs on an industrial scale, so maybe the "soup" technique is good for you. I might work at a dozen at a time, so I just heat the prongs with a lighter, (or a quick pass with a propane torch), and the prongs and the wire, pull right out. It is simplicity itself. Maybe this winter a candle will be lit in the house for heat and light and would work the same way! The whole 'soup' thing is just too much effort for the scale I work at. (I know this video goes back a while, but I'm still catching up...) We don't typically have fuses in our plugs in the States, nowhere near as complicated. But your plugs are chunkier. And brass is brass!
I just finished watching the darts, though I'd check to see if plug soup was done, nothing. Go to bed and there it is. Looks like I'm bit going to bed for another half hour
I use a small pair of 8"bolt crops and just chop the brass pins off Then fill washing machine and microwave with the rest of the plugs and still get paid for them 15p a kilo for plugs You might as well throw them out as normal scrap which is fetching 19p a kilo
@@Man-in-da-shed you should get your self a pair Save your self loads of time You might not get all of the brass pin out but it's worth it for the time it takes
@@bfdmanbfd yep. It’s always a trade off between time. But the challenge for a microscrapper is to get all metals out. I used to just knock the pins off as well. Shame I’ve none left to do now

Do them one at a time straight out the water, very easy that way.
Cool idea but now your hand doesn't work! Anything for scrap - right?
I’ve just watched some of your earlier vids and subbed 👍🏽 I’m pleased there’s this follow up to the plug thing , thanks mate
Very cool, I love contraptions like this one that look interesting, are fun to use and actually do something 👍👍
And it was a bit of enjoyable metime. Making it, having to just process scrap leaves little time for plain old enjoyment
Use a soldering iron to push the brass pin out 🤔🤔 just a guess
Or get the screw that fits in there and put it out with a pair of pliers
Thinking outside the box. Love it
Fantastic job Ian loved every minute have done a of plug soup as soon as i get a pan full i put it on the gas cooker happy new year look forward to watching you for another year 👍👍👍👍
Great vid, keeping the plugs hot makes it easer did 100 in November, smashed up the fuses to process metal in acid to see what silver
I can get.
Yep doing straight them one at time straight out the water is a lot quicker
And put the remainder in with the shred steel. 😂😁

As a rule, screw plugs I will bucket up and sit at the table for an hour stripping them, moulded plugs straight into the non ferrous bin, 😂

If there is a commonality between the plugs, a machine to grip and pull the spades could be made.

why dont you try putting the plugs in a bench vice then pull out the pins it might save your hands a little.
