500 Lbs Of Copper Stripped With The Copper King

[@silverlicious2086]

Nice job. I like how optimistic Steve is, 600lbs of copper out of 500lbs of wire 😂 I want Steve on my team. Lets Go!

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂 I wish I could grow the copper like that.

I saw Steve flipping through that wad of bills. Does that mean he's buying dinner?

[@AdamW-tx]

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂 Yes!

[@chuckanderson3418]

When you go to the scrapyard, how do you unload the barrels of wire without destroying the barrel?

[@hgghgguk]

have you seen some of his barrels lol they do get destroyed i think they just flip them upside down an try an shake it out or they just pull it out by hand

[@ProjectShopFl]

They have a fork lift with a rotator. I also just swap them out for new ones.

[@sixfootfive65]

There is still a lot of tangled wire rotating on the left side of the stripper as you can see at 09:25 for example…

[@sixfootfive65]

Finally you saw it yourself 👍🏾

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂 Thanks!

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

Question if you build a new machine could you build it for wire gauge don't know just enjoy watching you do what you do best the machine for stators are what you call them you got it just about where you need it then hear going to make improvements but you know what you need to do thanks for posting enjoy watching you tear shit up for money

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes I will.

[@johnsharp8627]

Are you guys going to go back to the scrap yard any time soon and pick up another huge load of items to bring back and relieve of their copper?

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes!

[@SteveandSusiesHomestead]

I just noticed all the wire wrapped are the pulley on the wire king .... oh never mind

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂

[@DanPeterka-w9f]

You should consider investing in a scissors table.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@Zizarkis1]

How do I set up buying stuff like this from local businesses?

[@chrisgragg8267]

Thats what im trying to find out

[@ProjectShopFl]

Call electrical contractors and offer a good price with free pickup

[@chrisgragg8267]

@ProjectShopFl but my question is what do i offer a pound with insulation on it?

[@Zizarkis1]

And do you weigh everything on site when you pick it up?

[@RobertLivingstone-n4g]

Great video but you all have a happy Thanksgiving

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, hope yours was well.

[@willardsisson7065]

What,,, no safety glasses?😮

[@ProjectShopFl]

Probably not. lol

[@tillmansomethinrother8649]

There's a piece of wire wrapped around the sprocket shaft. Hope you find that.

[@daaam2160]

I watched it the whole video and came here to mention it. 🕵 I pull strands of 16 ga out of the dustpan

[@bettymorgan4909]

Derek uses that wire for a spacer for certain size wires.

[@daaam2160]

@@bettymorgan4909 we're talking about the copper wrapped around the pulley shaft. It can mess with the balance of the pulley and drag on the motor

[@tillmansomethinrother8649]

@bettymorgan4909 I'm aware of that wire. There was wire on the Hurst shifter side wrapped around the sprocket shaft from being stripped.

[@bettymorgan4909]

​@@tillmansomethinrother8649I saw that later in the video also. He really needs to clean around the stripper.

[@PCMcGee1]

What is that thing in the bonus? Guess we'll find out...

[@ProjectShopFl]

👍👍👍

[@Livingoffofscraps]

Why don’t you strip Romax wire others I have watched only do that, they said they get clean bright wire with romax wire, other wires they only get #2 wire

[@ProjectShopFl]

I did the math It is not worth it with the price I get for Romex

[@mrMacGoover]

What kind of engine is in that generator?

[@ProjectShopFl]

4 banger I think.

Why is Steve so slow even with a time lapse on 😮

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂 The dude is cooked lol

[@dwaynefowler7093]

theres a lot of people who don't like to strip romax wire i do ican strip romax justas fast as a striper i used to stripit all by hand than i found out about the striper everysize i would strip by hand when i sell i have4-5 55galdrums of wire and i dont put it in the way you do i cut my up into pieces theres no pockets when its full its full

[@ProjectShopFl]

Wow! Thanks for sharing

[@AirelKramer]

Dam when you speed the video up and your sending wire thro it sounds like a ATM

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂

[@AirelKramer]

@ProjectShopFl what you went back and watched it...just to see 😂😂😂

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Subtitles 😭?

[@ProjectShopFl]

It wants me to type them out.

[@janielunday5012]

Street scrapping sucks now. Too many people that need the money more than me. Don't get me started on people wanting to "claim jump" a good score on the curb side. Then the drug addicts are scary, diseased and plain crazy. Can't negotiate with a hungry methhead who sees me standing between shred metal and their next score. I have quit except for my pre planned pickups and stuff that I can scoop up in under a minute. This is in the Dallas, Tx area.

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

Sorry to hear about that stuff but better safe than sorry take care and be safe

[@AirelKramer]

Need to find the people building houses or remodeling them and stop and ask to jump in them.... Figure if you pull out 10 to 20 lbs or romx/house wire....witch ever they call it there .. Here in Minnesota if bring it in "romx" or strip it all the way down and for number 1 copper....

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

@@AirelKramer here they had people going in and stealing new construction jobs copper and wiring so had to have address and who you got it from that was back in the day think it's handled now haven't talked to a scraper around here in a long time just saying

[@janielunday5012]

My experience with remodel workers is they keep the wire for themselves. New construction has become the same thing or they think I'm casing the place to come back that night. The doors are closing for my scraping side hussle.

[@KevinHarvey-qw5mj]

@@janielunday5012 damn saw you where stripping wire with machine I watch wasn't paying attention sorry saw you build and treek the machine for the stators to break the cases for copper last I watched you doing wire and said have to work on machine for both projects that thing you use to cut wire looks like the jaws of life machine my friend made in the sixties he drove a ambulance and had to extract people from vehicles so made something to help cause time is life threatening at all cost but sorry miss read post be waiting for next adventure thanks

[@TheSafetyMarshalPSF]

Really?!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes REALLY!

[@EVMacD]

You work like a demon but man you need to reduce your movement by putting the wire at arms length at waist height…the best movement is no movement.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@MajaZuzia]

you disrespect your subscribers from Europe because you didn't turn on subtitles again;

[@ProjectShopFl]

I don't know how to turn them on.

[@MajaZuzia]

@@ProjectShopFl - there are also intelligent people in Europe and they know when you're lying;

[@ProjectShopFl]

@@MajaZuzia No one is lying! The only option I have is to manually type them in. I don't have that kind of time. I will continue to look for a solution

[@edgarjurado.millonsillo7491]

Where do u buy ur wires from?? I'm from Albuquerque nm inspired by this channel I've scrapped som copper from transformers from 2 forklift chargers went pretty good but looking for some consistent work..
