Mike I love watching you. It's been over a little over a year I lost my son sarcoidosis it is a long disease. I've been down that one long lonely road until I came across you. He was only 42. When you come out with a new video it makes me smile and think of him he would be doing probably the same thing. You even sound like him thank you for bringing a smile to My Lonely Heart. Keep up the fantastic job. Please be safe and be careful. Mama

Man I missed this video when it came out and I probably missed the follow-up that came through with it which I cannot seem to find on here either so I came back to this one to go ahead and throw small comment on it . I've been looking for a set of decent cabinet drawers like that for my little ain't home office but every time I find a decent set of damn things are so expensive drives me crazy so it's me that's one hell of a find you found you can take a number of those excess pallets that you keep finding as well and you can take a hand sander with some wood glue send them down first take some extended clamps and the wood glue glue them together overnight resend them down and make yourself a table top and then you can add your varnish and whatnot to it to make it look decent these are just some ideas for you as well

Mike, I would keep a few 55 gallon contractor garbage bags in the truck for when you find those large quantities of parts bins. And the plastic boxes with the handle, those could be used for something. If it's a "takes up to much space in the truck" I completely understand. I'm a vendor at a flea market so I'm always on the lookout for stuff to resell. Good video, thank you.

In Australia one of our major retailers offered cash back on TVs. You’d take your tv in and they’d give you a discount for it once you bought a new tv. Some people went out to the dumpster and were taking the tvs that were dumped in there. They were arrested for stealing. Once the tv is in the dumpster it becomes the property of the dumpster owner. You’d find the tvs would have gone to land fill, those taking them would have broken them down for the metals.

Hey mike. I was wondering if you ever thought about making some kind of motor scrapping jig so you can get top dollar fro your motors. Many motors separate from teh copper stator coils easily because they are mainly made to friction fit in. If you could remove the rotor, you should be able to figure out a way to push/pull the stator coils out. Three hooks to grab the inside of the coils mounted in a way that when you push down on a lever, you pull the coils out. Now each motor gets cast iron value and copper value. Idea?
