I just love seeing all the colored cable, awesome videos… awesome video quality, I want to start trying to source my wire like you do not sure how to start. Anyways keep up the great work man

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@cuscrapping]

That's one of the reasons I don't put out as much content as I should. I like my music (or KZbin) in the background!!

[@ProjectShopFl]

It defiantly sucks sometimes.

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Those lights were big! Big aluminium! You've worked hard,both of you.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@scrapitjc]

Always interesting to watch.. keep it going

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

Canadian Treasure Hunter recently mentioned your press when he was doing a few transformers by hand. Funny that you now mentioned him with the hatchet. Also I'm glad you took care of that trailer before it went catastrophic on you!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@donlandenberg8126]

Y'all make life so easy. I just want to work with y'all one day.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@CosmicToy]

1:13 HAHA best ever seen

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@silverlicious2086]

Steaks on the grill. High priority. LoL. Nice repair job on the trailer. Get every penny's worth out of that thing. Funny when you said "feels like I'm working in a prison" with no jams. Understand, but it's nice to hear your commentary. How are copper prices down there? Canadian Treasure Hunter has been cashing in. I think number 1 is like over $5.00 LB up there. Brass is way up there too. Looking forward to Part 2.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, is that in lbs?

[@silverlicious2086]

Yes, watched one of his new videos yesterday. He cashed in on bright and shiny. $5.15 CND per pound. All time high he said. That's $3.85 USD.

[@codiwonkanobi9788]

We have those water coolers at FedEx and they are junk they break all the time. I've been trying to get my hub to sell me their scrap but it just piles up until someone steals it.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Haha, We are probably gonna scrap them.

[@peterkohl1863]

tiem 25:23 should make the camera stationary as you move yoiru head the moving camera viewing makes one DIZZY

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@stephensmith3708]

I like the hydronic press set up. Can you zoom in on the wedge or splitter please! I find little bit of transformer so it would be easier than using the grinder. Oh yah, more importantly, show us all on a trip to the yard and see some Benjamin's, too!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Look on my popular videos I'vemade many videos on how it works

[@scottm344]

Man I was just thinking inside the shop there you could build a metal frame or whatnot and put a crane hoist off the rafter. Be a great way to take the box off that trailer and fix the frame the right way. I know you rush to get the scrapping done and need a trailer but you have the flatbed one, you could fix and use it till you fix the box trailer the right way, I mean beef that thing up and weld the piss out of it. Heck iam sure you run across some scrap metal I-beams/tubing that would work to fix it. You would end up with a great trailer practically for free other then time ya know

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion, There are a couple other things about this trailer I don't like mainly the wood floor and walls are getting torn up and not being able to side load with a fork lift is an issue. I will be fixing my flat trailer here soon.

[@Jack_of_1_Trade]

I came across 3 inch pipe with copper wires inside. They were insulated with cement. Each was pretty heavy

[@ProjectShopFl]

Nice!

[@bigcountryscrapper6885]

Very awsome video my friend

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@markusgriebsch3688]

Hi, im Markus from Germany.I Do the same Job as you. You are my scaphearo.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks you.

[@SalfordRed83]

Brother put the next tranny in the press before ya mess with the broken one. Keep those tools and hands busy!!! Great vid AGAIN… much love from Manchester uk

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@ThePurpleSquirrel]

Happy New Year! Dang! I missed you.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks! Hope you are having a great start to the new year.

[@matthiku]

This would have been such a great video to watch! If only you had let me decide what kind of music I can listen to....

[@ProjectShopFl]

ok I will what kind of music?

[@matthiku]

@@ProjectShopFl That's the point - no music in your video. Then everyone can play their own music - if they want to listen to some while watching your videos!

[@david.perrip4316]

Very nice!! I need the wire fix bro!! Hey have u ever pulled 60 ft lengths of 500mcm through conduit with a come along??

[@ProjectShopFl]

No The electrician pulls them.

[@davidschank956]

When you go out and spend a lot of money on a trailer You want to make sure That it is heavy duty enough Box trailers these days are not cheap 410 or 12 thousand dollars you better get one that holds up and not fall apart and it should hold up for that kind of money

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, I had major issues with the box trailer I had in the past.

[@dennishoward941]

What brand is the trailer? I don't want to get one when I go to buy one.

[@ProjectShopFl]

I will have to look

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

Awesome hall there I wonder where all those heavy Cass lights came from I’m always curious whenever I pick some up if they came out of a shopping mall or a Publix or a car dealership etc.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Usually they come from shopping centers but they can come from any building with lights and a parking lot.

[@guyfawkes578]

Let me get one of those steaks.

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂

[@johnangelo5567]

It looks like you liked the enclosed trailer better ...sup for a bit ..their are no well built trailers or something you guys can make solid

[@ProjectShopFl]

The enclosed trailer has it's pros and cons. I don't like the wood the scrap is taring it up and not being able to side load with a forklift is an issue sometimes.

[@Saltyzero1295]

Dam bud you got your hands full lol. Have you ever thought about opening a rumble channel on rumble? Maybe you should take the trailer and use it for practice for the 12 gauge lol

[@ProjectShopFl]

does rumble pay like KZbin? I don't have a lot of time to post on multiple platforms.

[@Saltyzero1295]

@Project Shop FL I belive they do

[@Chris-mj9fq]

U scrap alot of lights is it good money?

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes

[@davehalloween1684]

Dam guy you got a welder, you got or will get angle or scrap metal, rebuild the trailer, with what going on in this country to replace that trailer could cost twice as much,

[@ProjectShopFl]

You are right thanks for the suggestion

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

So you don’t break down the aluminum ones anymore I thought you said since you got the equipment it is worth it but I guess I missed that part. And are you able to spot the ones that have the copper core inside of the aluminum coils without popping them open I’ve gotten good at spotting them now

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

He's breaking down the junk ones and selling his good ones

[@ProjectShopFl]

After doing the % on them I make more money just selling them off. The ones with the copper aluminum coils are usually easy to spot.

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

@@ProjectShopFl but u also said they pay very lil for the whole aluminum transformers 2 so make up ur mind 😆 lol

[@ProjectShopFl]

@@laisuresboringadventures7052 Yes the local yards pay .4 to .10 per lb. I got .15 in Miami. I just started selling them and not processing them last month. Mainly because I got like 500 lbs of them at once. Usually I will have 1-2 in a hole load and I just crack them. It is very rare to get a hole load of all aluminum transformers. Most are 1 aluminum and one copper.

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

@@ProjectShopFl y are they paying so much for whole stuff I thought it was always paying less for un clean stuff

[@andrewcooper8980]

Is Steve your employee or your partner? I remember you mentioning that he had some skills and contacts. My girlfriend was asking?

[@ProjectShopFl]

He is a biz partner

[@douglloyd3802]

Make sure you post the name and manufacturer of that trailer, You need to warn everyone to stay away from these trailers. It need to be recalled and fixed by the manufacturer.

[@ProjectShopFl]

right on.

[@robertlivingstone3947]

Good video about your tailor you well have to fix the bad welling job sorry

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@JohnDisque]

Anyone here ever get ahold of the cable that's insulated with thick, hard plastic and under that is bright blue aluminum that's covered in white grease and under that is 24 super-thin insulated single-strand micro-wires? What is this crap?

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

Sounds like some kind of data cable?

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

Honestly without seeing it I wouldn’t have the slightest clue . I can’t remember if I’ve come across that before

[@ProjectShopFl]

It's just that CRAP! lol Its some kind of communication cable I've gotten some from high end office buildings, It goes in the #2 insulated copper bin.

[@davehazel1994]

how can they pay 4 cents a pound surely shred is more than that

[@MrShekoexile]

$0.045/lb at my yard

[@ProjectShopFl]

I don't know some yards will pay more some pay almost nothing

[@kevinraines4318]

you should name and shame the makers off the trailer

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂

[@glennsoucy4359]

You could hire a retiree to sort and pack the 7.8 million fasteners you remove every year, creat another revenue stream!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Haha, Thats a great Idea.

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

I have a 5× 10 the whole frame is garbage me and dad have 2 rebuild the whole frame

[@ProjectShopFl]

That sucks, I was shocked at the build quality of this trailer.

[@thegarage5919]

Wow, the craftsmanship on that trailer is crap. From what you showed us the frame isn't even boxed. How the hell do they expect that thing to last? Not sure if the weight allowance has been exceeded but if the frame and bottom beck was boxed it would break the spring hangers before it shifted the walls out like that.

[@ProjectShopFl]

I was debating on making a video cutting the company the built it.

[@williamdawson3353]

That nails gonna hurt for awhile..sorry dude.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes it did. Thanks
