Scrap Marathon Biggest Ever Part 4

Part 4 of the Marathon has gotten a lot of scrap levels down but I feel the noticeable difference will be made in the next part, where there should be a lot of empty space and I'll be preparing to get into the garage to really get on top of it all.

Please do continue the long ranty one's. We love them.

[@Firejoker54]

Your marathons are my favorite videos of yours. I don't mind your scrap sessions being the same thing over and over, I could listen to you rambling about stuff for hours. :P

[@johnmostert6536]

Great content. Please show us what you were able to complete between videos. Your progress in reducing your backlog is inspiring.

[@tyleranderson-]

I love just sitting around or scrapping and watching you scrap and listening to you talk. Really enjoyable.

[@electronicscrapper4956]

Thank you for taking the time to not only film your videos but also the time spent editing it. No worries mate, business will pick up in time.

[@kaib1125]

LOOKING GOOD LOOK FORWARD TO PART 5 :D

[@emg58104]

Yeah do the long ones! I drive 10 hours a day and look forward to "hanging out" with you more than you know. I don't even scrap but I love seeing how all these things are put together. I work in the IT field in North Dakota South Dakota and Minnesota. Thank you for your effort!

[@emmasigler2470]

Enjoying your scrap marathon videos! 🌺❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

[@turiaturiana7529]

Ben I've been a fan for 18 months and love your videos. Especially these longer ones. Please keep showing us your progress and how the piles have gone down! You and the chooks are very entertaining even if you're just cutting cables for half the video it's Brill! Keep em coming please!

[@RoeMantic]

Part 4 already... Heck yeah!

[@AllStarExt]

Beat ya!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@scottm344]

The Ford Transit van would be perfect for what you do. You would be able to haul 8 times for then you do now street scrapping

[@brissyboy7164]

Excellent that was great fun to watch ................ Thumbs Up

[@altafrahman2254]

Hello Ben, I Can give you few suggestions, target based : Stacking all cube shaped items (pc, UPS, Servers etc) next to your garage door against the wall : Purpose ? Even though they are eye sore, they are cubical in shape and can nicely stack one on other against the wall. Pcs in one stack, UPS in one stack so on. They do not require rain protection. Some day, suppose you decide, OK today I will do UPS, you can get them out one by one. Remove the round bins from there. If you stack cube shaped items, you can use every cubic inch of space there, compact. Fill the cable inside the garage door in an empty bin or two. You are not setting foot inside your garage just because the cables are there. You already have many bins full of cables, an additional two will not make any difference. At least you get access to your work table. Use cartons for taking cables to yard. You are visiting recycle center with empty cartons which is a waste of resources. Instead, use those cartons to fill cables, brass, small pieces of anything including plastic. One of your wheely bins carry 90-100 kilo cable. Instead use 6-7 cartons each with ergonomical load of 10-15 kilo. Instead of waiting for fork lift to lift and fill their holders, you can flip the cartons and while coming back home, get rid of the cartons at recycling center. Take the case of pc for steel scrap. You load each pc by hand in van, unload each pc in yard. Instead you can stack 4-5 pcs in one carton and you flip the carton with 4-5 pcs in one move. Economy of movement, ergonomy.

[@toyfreaks]

Beer pallets in the US are 40 x 32 inches (100 x 80...ish cm) because that's the size you can brick-stack rafts of beer.

[@michaelschuenemann3505]

Another Magic Stripping Down Marathon - man we love it - You pull every Component - others will just smash it - You have Great Patients indeed - its a Pleasure watching You - so keep Safe and many,many Cheers from us here in Loganholme QLD !!!!

[@barrywest3758]

Looking good Ben, good to see you Scrapping away. Thanks and really enjoyed it!👍👍

[@abdullahuca]

You need a Mercedes Sprinter with a hydroalic loading arm or a folding loading ramp platform.

[@onemellofahess]

Ben, I really appreciate and look forward to your videos. I moved cities 2 years ago and my new situation doesnt allow me to go dumpster diving and scrap the way I used too. I really miss it, and your videos are the closest I can get sometimes. Keep scrapping!

[@onemellofahess]

@CYRUS DAWSON it's not the legality it's the time. I'm a graduate student in a chemistry program. I don't have a lot of time to go dive

[@mynameismudd420]

Yeah the old van is a street scrapping Warrior.

[@harryverboom4032]

The marathon is endless ben once a week a two hour video is perfect even when you scrapout another pc or modem we love it

[@shaneyork300]

A really cool series would be showing all your gold recovery items!! Probably the top 10 ewaste gold recovery in the world. Have a GREAT Day My Friend!!!

[@shaneyork300]

I wonder how many hundreds of pounds of Gold recovery items you have? I'm wandering if you have thousands of pounds!! Again Have a GREAT Day My Friend!!!

[@scrapitaus]

I was late, well I at least get to watch your videos now!

[@geanigabrieldragu1685]

I have the car that u need, to bad that I live in France, come here there is no lock down. Good job I like to listen your video when I work. 👍

[@richardhobson3623]

Loving the marathons. Keep em coming! I’m really looking forward to an empty garage.

Scrapping HDD's while watching Ben scrap...what could be better?

[@AllStarExt]

Ill be checking out your video after I finish bens

How bout a video of you, scrapping stuff while watching one of Ben's marathons? LoL

"I don't mind doing a little bit by hand" Yeah Ben, a hand job ain't great but it's not bad eiether ! 😁

[@jxavier3876]

Was midway through watching this video when a pvc sink pipe In the cieling started leaking, spent the next morning tearing Out a section of drywall. Hooray.

[@tomthumb8346]

You're a better man than me. I would have put a bucket under it and finished watching Ben before fixing it.

[@tyleranderson-]

You have a great system for scrapping modems. Great video

[@vaughndumas]

It just won't be a scrapping marathon without the chook in the background making noise.

[@peterg.8245]

That i960 was a HBA storage controller for managing an array of hard drives. The RAM on it was for caching.

[@mrdando]

The ford transit van was originally designed to take the 8 x 4 plasterboard and plyboard sheets that was the brief from the owner of thought to the design team at the time, and it been standard since

[@ramblingman8992]

Christ, Aussie pallets must be huge. A standard UK pallet is 1200mm x 1100mm and fits between the wheel arches of a standard van. Merc Sprinters are 1275mm between arches if I remember from my time in despatch.

[@RafalScrapper]

an easy trick for that CPU heat sink for removing the 4 screws with spring just get on dome vice or metal piece and hit it with a hammer from bottom side much quicker and easier than pushing the spring and dealing with that security rings my self using for that piece of 60 mm pipe set it on and one hit for one screw and all end up inside that pipe so it is easy to clean up after too

[@ScrapMetalTV.]

Hats off to you Ben. You're on another level. You're teaching us a lot. Thanks

[@davidranew9776]

Great Video Ben Keep Bringing The Video's Dude 👍👍

[@lonewolfgeoff]

wow! well done with shifting all those pc's! your almost down them all!!! 😁 im ultra impressed... just dont overdo it!!!

[@TechGorilla1987]

G'Day, Ben!! Just a note to let you know that I streamed about 8 hours of your videos last night whilst I was in and out of sleep. I stream the video to a small Bluetooth speaker from the PC across the house. I may not click the ads, but mate, the watch time is SOLID and my video retention is like 100%! :D Pennsylvania USA here!

[@teamSHTF]

Fun times ahead! Good luck Ben!!

[@stephenjohnson1911]

Loving all the marathon videos Ben and am looking forward to part 5. Would a tuck under tail lift be a good idea on your new van? It could possibly make it a lot easier for you when you are loading the orange tubs and wheelie bins. Stay safe 👍

[@teembo]

Hey Ben. At about 1:47:20 and those circlips... Try using your diagonals to pull the screw head out the top. Often times the whole thing pulls thru, minus the clip. Works for me! And of course around 1:52 you mention doing the very same thing.... lol

[@jeremiahbf117]

If you make another marathon video, I'll watch it. I don't mind the talking and rambling. I find it all very interesting.

[@DominicUbble]

You underestimate your audiences enjoyment of your scrap marathons and what would be interesting to them. You should continue and do a part 5 or even 6 depending on how long you have a large stockpile of material. People not only like your scraping but like your commentary, whatever it is during the sessions. Do more! lol

[@timtenbrinke8130]

Thanks for sharing your videos. I find them very interesting

[@AllStarExt]

Wooohooo did i get it.. perfect time for a video

[@markking3280]

just wondering if you have ever found any snakes or other critters amongst the scrap that has been sitting for a while

[@RafalScrapper]

just put one or two brick under every leg of your table and the problem with highest will be solved cool scrapout that marathons helping me out clean up my place too ha ha

Great videos Ben ...

[@scrapman502]

34:00 Just a reminder, Never Send Ben a computer if you want to have it fixed. After Ben gets it, he'll FIX it so it will NEVER work again!

[@garyammerman2153]

Super series Ben! Have you seen Sreetips latest video on gold finger processing using a fairly simple process using chemicals avail from most any hardware store. Nice vid for your future use. Best on your near term scrapping under the Covid threats.

[@jxavier3876]

Here in Canada things have been at a standstill around 5000 cases restrictions are still going hard even being ramped up in An attempt to get rid of it for good but I don’t see it getting to 0 anytime soon.

[@krisbennett9852]

Alot of us watch everything you put out. Record and post everything including just cutting cables or anything. We watch and get entertain and get a slight monetary gain from youtube

[@escrapchannel]

You definitely have to optimize loading and unloading of the van! This is enormous effort and waste of time as it goes now! Great video! 👍

[@pakistaniraveasylum1396]

It's called exercise. Some people avoid it then pay to go to the gym 🤔

[@escrapchannel]

@@pakistaniraveasylum1396 So true :)

[@michaelbrumfitt]

👍it only looks like your not getting stuff done because you are taking bits from different places,keep going you will get there in the end👍

[@gabrielmaligeorges6996]

what a bummer, have to cancel everything I planned to watch Part 4.

[@HomecockpitsAndMore]

not really a bummer is it? :)

[@magnushenriksson6580]

Just hoping for Ben's sanity that the surveillance cameras are gone. Otherwise,grab a couple of fridges off the street and Tetris smash 'em full with the bloody things, seal the doors shut and dump 'em at the scrap yard's white goods section :)

[@peterg.8245]

Could fit a US PECO/CHEP pallet between the wheel wells of my Nissan NV200. Nissan also makes them for Chevrolet and Dodge in Mexico. PECO are the red pallets and CHEP are the blue pallets. I picked up tons of wholesale from Sam’s Club and about 5/95% PECO/CHEP. Used to leave stacks next to the cage at Sam’s Club after hours but left a bunch in the warehouse when I sold the business.

[@peterg.8245]

48” x 40” or 1220mm x 1020mm

[@Michael-db1ce]

Yeah!!! Scrapping marathon! How do your hands feel after all that cord cleanup? Probably have trigger fingers on both hands by now. I hope you can splurge on a tiny bench shear or something to make cord cutting more comfy. I'd be grinding the edges on my sidecutters razor sharp every day.

[@ROBERTSCOIN]

they started making them in the pentium 3 range and up i think there was an even lower pentium cpu

[@faywood2104]

Iam new to your channel.i love these marathons

[@davidfilley2321]

Hey Ben, have you thought about building a wooden topper for your work area? It wouldn't be costly and would help with all your crouching! Cheers!

[@maryannrussell7255]

If height is not a problem. Fill in the space between the wheel wells. So it will sit level

[@richardburgess5215]

Damn the " Anti Street Scrap Virus "

[@danielluma2948]

Here in Ohio the virus I'd around 700 people with it masks has to be used in Walmart and stores an gas station doctor visits I have been staying home don't go out unless I have to get food for the month and pay bills. It's been a great game changer for all of us in this world

SALUDOS AMIGO BUEN VIDEO SIEMPRE LOS MIRO CUÍDENSE BENDICIONES

[@altafrahman2254]

Hello Ben, Once you reach a situation where the volume of things in your collection become unmanageable, spare one day to segregate them enmasse. Lets say one day you target the mess in your workshop. Just move every item outside by segregating them into managable 10 catagories like PC, UPS, Switches, Servers, all kinds of boards, cables. In case you pick a cable which is clean without ends to cut, straight away throw it in midgrade or cable to strip, all other cable in one heap. Do not bother if pc is vintage or I9. First untangle the heap into broad catagories. Once you have major crisis everted, your choice of items to scrap depends on two factors. If any particular item is getting bigger in volume, attack that item and reduce volume. Second is the level of your scrapped bins. Suppose you see a midgrade boards bin 75% full. Your target should be to fill it and send it off to yard, so check which electronics gives you more midgrade boards e.g modems and that should be your focus of scrapping for that day. This way you focus on top down and bottom up management. Like in industry, if you scrap similar material, your productivity will increase. e.g. take cables to sort into midgrade and low grade. As you use snips a lot, your fingers get sore. Next day go for modems which give rest to fingers. Next day go for UPS so on. I am just giving you idea. This is how we manage to get more output out of same workforce, equipment in industry. e.g. we do lot of pipe welding. On a particular day we take 2" Pipe and start welding 2 lengths together. It gives us a lot of line pipe. Next day we weld one pipe and elbow sets or pipe and Tee sets. Once we start installation, we move massive amounts of welded pipe to site. Same with Concrete pouring or Asphalting or structural installations. Organize similar size or material and you get productivity.

[@richardburgess5215]

You mean well but 👎.

[@mythar1]

Ben, do you know of any scrap value to old toner cartridges or print cartridges? Given that they are 20+ years old obviously they can't be resold for use. I have a small shed full from when i used to dabble in auctions here in Sydney.

[@eWasteBen]

I don't believe they have any scrap value being that old and unusable.

[@luka.3107]

Could you do more videos about processing cords? I really enjoy that.

[@AllStarExt]

Hey Ben just got to the part of your video talking about corona in the US. Im in Wisconsin and worked in the "worst" hot zone in the state doing a big window replacement job on low income government apartments and only met one person there who had it. He recovered and was back to work in 2 weeks. I had it at some point but had no symptoms or it was back in March when I was pretty sick for 3 or 4 days? I got the antibody test and donated plasma. I know 6 or 8 people who had it and recovered without knowing and got the antibody test. I don't know anyone who was hospitalized or died.

[@jxavier3876]

Yea my brothers coworker got it and he (my brother) was back to work the next day, don’t even think the guy even had any symptoms.

[@999fine5]

I do. I know two people that died both older and my brother 37y old was sick for weeks. He still has a lingering cough. It just depends on who you are.
