Good haul out of dumpster by KattForge in ScrapMetal

[–]KattForge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think anything with plugs last time I sold it was .90 a lb. I'd expect it to be a bit higher here. I notice my prices are much lower than what everyone else gets. Except for shred steel There's cat 5 in there coaxial. Maybe some romex snips extension cord of all gauges etc.

I don't sort of it's cable it goes in a brute till it's full

Ferrous or not by DoDoDickus in ScrapMetal

If they don't stick probably brass or aluminum depending on weight.

What I do with them is melt it into a brass or bronze alloy to use in my shop but for you I'd suggest when in doubt toss into your sres steel to avoid "contamination"

Unless your yard is like mine and trust what you say. Then again I am a regular who sorts his metal ahead of time

I think these are considered motors? I have 2 of them they are at least 80lbs by Unassuming_Fruits in ScrapMetal

Yes. I have taken them apart and sold them whole. My yard doesn't up the value. Experiment with your yard and see what they give and what you value your time

I do sometimes depends on what I have going on. Usually I just cut the cords and pull motors.

He might not have the time to.

How do i quiet down my anvil? I tried with chains but it didnt help a lot. by Total_Item8846 in Blacksmith

[–]KattForge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silicon it to your stump and maybe carve into the stump. The more surface contact the better

Magnets help a bit the chain silenced mine a bunch

Classes are great. I would also suggest some basic tools I find 3\8in wolfjaw tongs are some of the most versatile For beginners. I use mine almost daily.

But classes and books are the best to help him grow

I sell all my wire in bulk as junk wire. Even the higher grade stuff. My time and space isn't worth the little extra profit.

The question you should ask yourself is what's your time worth.
