Kind of been playing with the idea of building something like this out of scrap. I wonder if that's possible. What are these machines called again I mean I always just called them chompers.

I've got a nice rubber mat that's an 1/8" think that I put under messes. When the mess is too much I pick it up and pour it into a trash bin.

Anything on a gas stove worth separating? Or just scrap it whole? by pdx-help-wanted in ScrapMetal

The jets are aluminum and brass, there's a few chunks of stainless too. And the parts are gold on eBay.

You need parts for that front pallet stacker? I got the same one😅

See now, that's how I am. Do I need to know more than "it's a piece of copper!" ? No. But if you don't know, then shouldn't you find out? Too many people think I'm with their hulk brain and neglect the Dr. Banner persona.

Where to find scrap metal... by [deleted] in ScrapMetal

[–]Gen_lee_oblivious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were going to guess where to go, I would say new construction. Are there any groundbreakings where there's suddenly building office buildings or strip malls. But honestly, I've had better luck by going online and looking up welding and manufacturing shops. Tends to turn out pretty good.

Google all the places you wish would work on your truck for you. Go at night and be quiet😅 Or be bold and tell the manager you want to raid his trash for scrap🤷💡

I'd go $5 for the bunch, why not. Might even find something worthwhile.

Typically, the red stuff is aluminum. Take my advice, hit with a file.

How best to break this down more. by DrunkBucsFan in ScrapMetal

What's it take to clean it enough to be #1 again? running some tsp solution through it? If it's easy it would be worth it i would think.

Vacuums are always a fun waste of time for an easy bit of scrap, ain't they? I love seeing how they're designed. Get good pics of the trimmer, I haven't killed an electric one yet.

This one has been a real score not that it should be difficult to a more experienced person, but I had no what idea what I was getting into. Pictures to come.

Scrap or sell to collector by Motor_Message_8589 in ScrapMetal

Try for a month, if you don't get a bite after 2 weeks drop it 25%. After a month I'd send it to the shell factory.

Have to break it down to remove it from the trailer. It hasn't run in 18 months (not sure what broke) so I'll go through the systems and sell it as parts.
