[@silverlicious2086]

Copper King is hungry. Even with three people, The King just laughs! FEED ME MORE 🤣

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂 It's really hard to keep up.

[@markrice3502]

Thank you for sharing your videos and your time with us

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, I am glad you enjoy them!

[@damienreisner2183]

Love your videos. I remember selling number one for 1.10 a pound and thinking I was king of the world. Good old days.

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂😂 When I started I was getting 1.70

[@damienreisner2183]

@ProjectShopFl This was 2001 had just graduated high school. Remember a buddy of mine told me to take ever dollar of my graduation party money and buy gold. Think it was around 270 an ounce. I bought a 1973 Monte Carlo instead. Immaturity and ignorance hahaha

[@randydobson1863]

God! Wish i lived closer. Would love to get involved there. Well done guys

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks!

Hype for part 2

[@manofriend4236]

I’d love to see a granulator set up! Sending love from the uk

[@ProjectShopFl]

I hope to get on it soon.

[@MikeBewick-ow6iv]

Do you ever wonder if you strip those big spools of wire just for them to be turned into spools of wire lol. Love the videos man!

[@ProjectShopFl]

from what I understand copper wire will be turned in to copper pipe and not more wire.

[@murlbailer3755]

If I can I strip the aluminum. It all adds up. 👍

[@ProjectShopFl]

I strip it all.

[@nikkolaus]

You need to get them like a little garden rake or somethin to help them pull the stripped material over to the edge of the table.. Not only would it reduce abdominal fatigue from the repeated action of bending over the angle-iron at the edge, but it'll also reduce shoulder damage, and reduce possible impact and cutting with material coming down the dump chute. When you're having to reach that far over to pull material towards you, it seems like the side of your head is right in line with stuff coming down...

[@MrLemaire1]

This is GREAT advice!! 😎✌🏽

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@Xenon6002]

Looks so dangerouse without shielding on the chains and such...😱 But love to watch it. It goes fastttt

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for watching

[@deadwood3764]

I saw a machine stripper just like yours today.Only difference the pully on left side had another pully attached with long belt that went to a spool (cardboard)that winds the copper onto the spool as you feed the stripper.No clutch but some type of limiter like a dimmer switch the guy said.Will send pics to your email.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks I'd like to see that.

[@iffy9776]

Hi. When are you getting the wire shredder running again. Aluminium wire makes me cry..lol but I like extruded Aluminium.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Al wire makes me cry too! lol

[@douglloyd3802]

I like your new metal scrap bins, it looks like it’s making life so much easier for Oliver and Steve to pull the copper into. Are these metal bins a new investment or they only on loan? If you’re not able to keep the bins, I think you need to build or invest in a couple. I know these bins are big and take up a lot of room, but it looks like it’s a timesaver rather than stuffing stripped wire into the barrels. I’m sure it’s also easier to empty them. And I bet they hold up a lot better than those cardboard bins.

[@ProjectShopFl]

They are my customers bins unfortunately but they are nice. I am looking to make some.

[@mrMacGoover]

It was interesting at the end when you had a different camera angle and stripping the big gage colorful wire zooming through the stripper.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍

[@DaydreamerFishing]

Oliver is not the guy you need in the shop if there is a fire. He would just keep working and not say anything.

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂😂

[@dwaynefowler7093]

i think that if you had two holes the same it would be even faster to strip or you canfix it where you can strip two sizes at once.

[@ProjectShopFl]

it would be hard on the big stripper but the one bolted to the side will strip 2,3 & even 4 at once

[@AdamW-tx]

In the previous video we saw Steve feeding the Copper King. In this video, Steve is operating The Jaw? What craziness is going on at PSF? What's next? Steve driving the big red truck ? lol 🤣

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂 I let him do that once and only once! lol

[@ThePurpleSquirrel]

What if you added a funnel to each feeder tube to guide wire in better?

[@ProjectShopFl]

I have a few things like that that I will be doing to the machine.

[@RobertLivingstone-n4g]

You always have great videos question how did the trailer make out great job you to

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks! Trailer is working great and hauling some serious weight

[@AirelKramer]

Cut some ply wood and set on top.... quick and easy

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@AirelKramer]

@@ProjectShopFl yea but that plate you put in there works to

[@mrMacGoover]

6 gage fine braid copper is good for automotive use, I bet automotive electricians would buy roles of the red and black coated stuff from you.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Possibly

[@murlbailer3755]

Weld a piece of that diamond plate on it . Just enough to prevent backlash. In your face 😮.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@lukesmith1113]

I have land that was used by the electric company years ago and they through all the old copper in piles am I allowed to touch it or no

[@ProjectShopFl]

If it's your land I would think it is your copper.

[@MrPMOT]

I’m not understanding why the spooled wires still can’t be used rather than just scraping it?

[@ProjectShopFl]

They are too short

[@sethsorrell8925]

So I've been calling electrical contractors in my area to see if they're giving/selling any wire/scrap and they've all pretty much have said no. I see you get a lot of your scrap from electrical contractors so do you have any tips?

[@ProjectShopFl]

I don't think any electrical contractor will give copper away. lol Watch my first few live streams I answer questions and explain how I got the customers. I will tell you it is an up hill battle and I explain why. Good luck.

[@sethsorrell8925]

@@ProjectShopFl Thanks a bunch!

[@PandotheWise]

Nice work man! Have you seen those manual forklifts? New ones with a 2200# capacity are about $1500

[@ProjectShopFl]

I'm looking for a running one at the moment.

[@hgghgguk]

you probably never added a cover so that the camera could have a good view of the back side of the stripper

[@MrLemaire1]

And we know the backside of the stripper is usually the best view… 🥴😝

[@ProjectShopFl]

👍👍👍👍

[@marcuscostello5635]

Hey man, when the stripper is too tight and it shreds and needles it up why is that bad? Like cant all the needles just be swept off the table into whatever bucket/bin you have? Or what i am not understanding

[@ProjectShopFl]

It's hard on the machine and hard on the hands when you get stabbed. lol And yes it can just be swiped in to the bin.

[@murlbailer3755]

Wear a face mask,shield. I know you got one 🤪.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@SteveandSusiesHomestead]

2nd

[@ProjectShopFl]

👍👍👍

[@eckhardheissmann5171]

Why do you cut the wire into parts?

[@ProjectShopFl]

Because it is easier to handle and helps the guys on the back side keep up.

[@adamcollins9293]

Is this older or more recent?

[@ProjectShopFl]

New!

[@y.lelivelt2619]

No subtitles 😭 .

[@ProjectShopFl]

I don't know how to turn them on.

[@bettymorgan4909]

If you look on your end , is there a button the translate the words? There's a button for Google translate I use to see what people have out in their own language.

[@MajaZuzia]

you have a short memory because you didn't turn on the subtitles again;

[@ProjectShopFl]

I don't know how

[@Jfromtech]

Why don’t you make a granultor again

[@ProjectShopFl]

It's on the list.

[@Jfromtech]

@ you should save the small wire and do one huge run when you get it built to test it

[@MrLemaire1]

@@Jfromtechhe gets SO much wire that by the time he gets around to the granulator, he’ll have a literal mountain of spaghetti wire. 🤣😎✌🏽

[@aarongrabowski3775]

You should always have a pair of cable cutters right next to the copper king. It might save you a hand one day. Not trying to mother you bro, just saying.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the tip, Thats why it has a the clutch

[@noneyabeeswax3200]

So I’ve been doing some thinking about the channel,love all the content you are putting out if I could change smth I would say longer episodes and at least twice as many. I know you are pressed for time so I say you bring in a guy,he has to be there like all the time,if you aren’t there he has to wait in the parking lot all the time,you could show up at any time 🤷‍♂️ He’s an intern for the channel so he doesn’t get paid at all,and he films everything around the shop and uploads/edits everything you do nothing,oh and he’s a GoPro wiz..thoughts?

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂 Thanks for the suggestion I will but out an add for that position. lol

[@brian56]

Nothing worse than the wrong hole lol!

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂😂

[@gemmalawrence2576]

Can't u put some tubes on the back and direct the wire towards the bench at the side of u

[@ProjectShopFl]

Possibly

[@PCMcGee1]

Spelling stripes again.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@MrSuzukiyamaha]

Slow that thing down!

[@ProjectShopFl]

I thought it was already slow. lol
