Copper Nuggets From Electrical Gear

[@bettymorgan4909]

Watching your videos i get a better insight on the younger you. Not just what i remember. But i believe the core values you have are what you were shown at a younger age. So proud of the man you have become.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thank you, I wish I was a better person when I was younger.

[@bettymorgan4909]

​@@ProjectShopFlwell you survived youth in 1 piece. Learned from your mistakes. Everyone used to say how well behaved and polite you kids were.

[@reggiebishop5398]

Amen to that brother. You put bad out you are going to receive bad you put good out and guarantee you get good back. God is great

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes! 🙌

[@HappyAst34]

You are a good man, Derek!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thank you! 👍

[@josephvalenti5155]

so glad I found you on youtube, I am a 50 year old painting contractor and am watching your videos daily!!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thank you! 👍

[@silverlicious2086]

Great video dude 💪🏻 Loved your chat while processing. Those thick copper plates are impressive. Hell of a score for .05 cents a pound. The preview of that big spool of wire at the end of this video was incredible. You were pulling bank right out of the Copper King. 🤣🤣 Looking forward to seeing that.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, big spool video should drop today. 👍👊

[@kentuckypride3802]

I absolutely love your videos. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. I’m a medically retired federal correctional officer. I got hurt on the job. Got put on pain meds and went downhill fast. Luckily I’ve cleaned up and been sober for going on 3 years. I scrape now to stay busy and love it. Keep the videos coming. Thanks

[@ProjectShopFl]

Glad you are doing better. Stay positive and keep scrapping! 👍👊

[@briankaelin7728]

1 day at a time bro! I’m Coming up on 30 months sober and life is so much better

[@SuperRashead]

You are talking about needing help. If i can help you, from where i am, i am open for something! You got my mail. We can talk about it. I love your video as always. Waiting for the last micro scrapping :D So excited!.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thank you, I will check it out.

[@andrewrossi7164]

Love the copper nuggets my friend, always worth it to tear it down 👍

[@ProjectShopFl]

👍👍👍

[@Stalkerrob20]

scraping saved my life once, had a bad mental break almost ended it all. then hit up my dads scrap pile and just started working till all the BS passed. sometimes you need to work and wait out the storms.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Wow! Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you are still with us. I personally know life can get crazy sometimes you just got to tell yourself it will all be ok and keep moving forward.

[@bigchadish]

Absolutely 💯

[@scrapitjc]

Scrapping electrical is always a good payout😊. Keep doing it buddy

[@ProjectShopFl]

It's my favorite scrap. lol

[@Justjimmy127]

Dude I’ve been watching you since last Christmas and you helped get me going on my scrap work but this video hit hard man, I guess god knew I needed your message but in recovery and same feeling fr about scrap and why I enjoy it so much. Rock on Derek!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for watching. I'm glad the videos help. 👊👍

[@LKSLKSLKSLKS]

Jersey misses you

[@ProjectShopFl]

@@LKSLKSLKSLKS I miss NJ except for the winters and unconstitutional gun laws. lol 😂

[@LKSLKSLKSLKS]

@@ProjectShopFl winters are brutal ngl...and the guns laws, don't get me started, brother! They're just downright silly!!!

[@CHOCKO895]

Enjoy your channel immensely. Retired Electrician here. Always took home the scraps and stuff that would’ve been tossed. today all I was thinking about is grab a nut driver screwdriver and put down that open end to hold those nuts. Lol

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thank You!

[@bfd1565]

I absolutely love your channel and can't get enough of it. At night I'll rewatch one of your hour + long videos of you stripping wire & processing transformers. The sounds help put me to fall sleep. I'm like you. I did the young and dumb things as a kid. I to don't drink. Not even coffee or tea. I'm still like a child that never grew up. I still drink chocolate milk & lemonade, pink lemonade... L0L. I have never used tree tongs in my shed. If your a good boy. I'll ship them to you for Christmas along with some other goodies if your interested. Keep up the amazing videos. They're awesome to watch.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thank you! I'm glad the videos help you sleep. lol

[@siggitiggi]

Hearing those US prices on copper hurts man, I get 1,83 $/lb here (Iceland). And I like using a linoleum knife myself

[@ProjectShopFl]

Sad! it should be the same the copper exchange is world wide.

[@bentleyalder5492]

I'm glad to hear Steve is well and happy. You should do a short episode of him collecting his stuff from the shop and allow him a segment to say farewell to all his fans.

[@ProjectShopFl]

He was in the shop today. lol He said he really misses the shop and hanging out. He want to come to palm beach for a few days and hang out. At the moment he is recovering from hernia surgery so it might be a few weeks out but he will be back for a visit soon.

[@peteoneill5799]

I love your positive attitude towards fellow man and nature alike. Been watching you for a few years and alway appreciate you honesty. Keep up the good work you deserve all the good karma you get

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thank you I appreciate that! 👍👊

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks Randy!

[@rileymason3606]

Brother you have the right idea on life. Man I wish I was younger I'm a microscraper and I would come down and help. I don't know what your faith is but I'd say pray that God brings the right people. Sending mine

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thank you, I really don't conform to a religion but I know for a fact God is real and we are living in his creation.

[@leannejones8374]

You are doing fantastic Derek 👏 I love your vids 😊😊

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thank you! 😃 I appreciate you watching 👍

[@tylerdunning7363]

Man if I lived in Florida I'd offer to help out but heck I'm on the complete other side of the country

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the offer.

[@arminarminson8583]

Luv me some McCopperNuggets. The plastic is nice fuel for the shred furnace I guess. Burn really well and leaves little slag.

[@ProjectShopFl]

[@GregWildCardHoddy]

You're straight edge!! I'm 36 yrs C&S... How many alcoholics does it take to change a light bulb? 10! 1 to actually change it, 9 to sit around and reminisce about the old bulb.. 😂😂😂😂

Thanks! 👍

This was a good one 😊. Thanks

[@ProjectShopFl]

Glad you liked it!

[@newsweathertraffic18]

You can buy a $2 demagnetizer to magnetize or demagnetize your bits as needed. Harbor freight might sell them.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@Robert-nj8io]

Great video nice looking stuff great job

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks 👍

[@marcchapman4875]

My guess is that you are going to bank on all the hurricane damage

[@ProjectShopFl]

We did not met much damage if any at all on the east cost of FL.

[@briankaelin7728]

My dude, you have got to invest in some Knipex pliers and cutters, or at least some Kleins. Struggling with those little cotter pins is for the birds.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@JimDeweese]

respect to you.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks! 👊👊👊

[@piecesofpete5921]

[@demolitionsexpert]

the age old dilemma... making money/working getting in the way of the of the stuff we enjoy or our projects..

[@ProjectShopFl]

It's a real problem.

[@DeanG55]

Loved this video, lots of ASMR. Keep enjoying your work. Idle hands are the Devil's workshop!! LOL

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks!

[@charlesyates6687]

From Jersey I'm surprised you don't watch Tucker Upper . He comes down here from time to time his dad owns a vacation home north of jupiter

[@ProjectShopFl]

I will look in to them I never heard of that channel. lol

[@gemmalawrence2576]

Hi mate I watch u all the time I'm from England I can relate to your younger years but like me did u find it hard for a wile to gain peoples trust its easy to be narstie and a long rd to recovery

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, Not really I was moving product not using it so there were no trust issues. I always had the best products at the best prices so people trusted me. lol I only moved certain things there were some products I refuse to sell because how it could ruin someones life.

[@dennisryan7487]

I'm movin outta California and would love to help ya, But you got Gators and snakes down there. I settle for somewhere in Virginia!

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂 The gators and snakes don't bother anyone

[@Frogdog0007]

Thought there would be more copper in that breaker

[@ProjectShopFl]

Me too!

[@newsweathertraffic18]

The Coppermine 500 (I believe this is your model) is actually on sale right now for $1800 down from $3000.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Mine is not that nice. I think Coppermine is made in the USA and mine is for sure made in chine but modded right here in the USA.

[@bentleyalder5492]

So, a question that's been on my mind for a while: When you named the channel "project shop FL". Is it that the project is having a shop in FL, "Project: Shop FL", and it's like an exploration of what all a shop can do and be? OR is it "project-shop FL" a shop for projects?

[@ProjectShopFl]

That's a good question. lol I originally started it to show my journey of building the ultimate shop and showing all the projects on the way. I originally had something else in mind which I have not shown yet on the channel. Covid put the breaks on the original plan and I have been struggling to keep pushing forward but thanks to KZbin I am getting closer to my goal. One day soon I will show the real reason I started the channel. The name it self I was taking a spin off the KZbin channel "Project Farm" but with my shop. When I was picking the name Project Shop was taken but not being used. I did not want to have the exact name so I added FL because I am in south Florida. I hope this helps.

[@bfd1565]

Oh, I forgot to mention. One of my trusted weather apps Ventusky has a weather system that's going to cross Florida next Tuesday/Wednesday that will effect your area. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. I'll keep you posted on your next video. Oh, and one more thing. It's rode hard and put away dirty... L0L

[@ProjectShopFl]

😂😂😂 Thank you I appreciate that.

[@markrice3502]

great video its just so much fun watchingg you take things apart and just being reak with your viewer too thanks for shareing with us all keep the faith

[@ProjectShopFl]

Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

[@dennyhameren6818]

my body is a temple, say no to drugs/drinks/smoking ;-)

[@ProjectShopFl]

👍👍👍

[@Donkusdelux]

you should keep all those big wire lugs and sell them off in bundles. some of those are stupidly expensive new. when you get to the bigger multi hole lugs

[@ProjectShopFl]

I have been saving them for a while now. 👍

[@christophermac1797]

how long you been in Florida?

[@ProjectShopFl]

20 years

I cut alcohol after just after covid hit, i feel great, I look at it like a bad relationship, you don't know it's bad until you are out of it

[@ProjectShopFl]

Nice! 👍👍

[@Monkey-boyo_0]

Where’s the micro scrap vids 😢😂

[@ProjectShopFl]

Coming soon. The editor is back and working on them.

[@taunusrunner3767]

yes copper is rising....50 cent /kilo in 2 weeks in europa... i get 7,75 euro / kilo nr. 1 wire this week rond about 3.80 dollar /pound??? what is your price, this week?

[@ProjectShopFl]

Nice I think I got 3.70 for #2 copper so BS would be like 3.90

[@stevejanca3644]

You giving them what they want but who's actually doing the work? You know what I'm saying.

[@ProjectShopFl]

👍👍👍

[@scrappingonthefly77]

I love electrical scrap, its ao easy to breakdown. Well except all the huge breakers i have. They're so hard to break down.. Bakelite material sucks..

[@ProjectShopFl]

I think I will be using my Jaw on them. lol

[@scrappingonthefly77]

@ProjectShopFl lol no doubt

[@janielunday5012]

Now, at casinos anywhere, everyone under the age of 30 gets ID to gamble or get alcohol. With their licenses on the line for that stuff, it isn't worth the risk to keep some goofball kid happy so they can lose their money. The casinos know they will get the cash anyways once the sucker hits 21. Life was so much more fun back in the day.

[@ProjectShopFl]

The stuff we did on the daily seems so crazy now. lol

[@digitalbloodline]

14-19 is the best time to be a dumbass, way better than being one in your 30-40's

[@ProjectShopFl]

So true! I found out real quick that certain things will never get you anywhere but trouble.

[@ThePurpleSquirrel]

How far are you from Miami? 836/826 area.

[@ProjectShopFl]

About 1 hour in the truck, 30 minutes in the Mercedes. lol

[@ThePurpleSquirrel]

@@ProjectShopFl the reason I ask is I was going to offer myself for a tryout for that part time position for FREE,

[@djbillye4943]

oh yes deffinitely worth dismantling the micro.once you find the sweet spot with the knife by hand,the wire flows through,not too sharp and not too blunt.😀

👍👍👍

[@laurentlelouer7341]

Month after month, video after video, you reveal your life to us and yes we all have faults but that's what makes us human and not a machine. I hope you find someone to help you, I would love to, but crossing the Atlantic Ocean is not easy.😅

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks! I am hoping to find someone soon .

[@Phanimedicherla]

Hey you had a ton of silver connectors, why can't you send some to me. Would be really helpful. i am student studying chemistry. Need some of your help to differentiate silver from other compounds. Your help is highly appreciated. God bless you with all luck and money...

[@PCMcGee1]

Try going to your local bank, and see if the tellers can give you some older silver coins. Sounds like you just need a few.

[@ProjectShopFl]

I have not processed them yet. How much would you need?

[@Phanimedicherla]

Thanks for the response. I am from India. If you are interested to send any amount would be fine and really would help my research work. I would send my details to your mail ID. Anyways thanks for responding. God bless you with good health and prosperity

[@thelastlemming6608]

lol from the age of 14 to 19.... camera cuts off

[@thelastlemming6608]

I don't think I pulled my head from my butt til I was almost 30

@@thelastlemming6608 the camera didn’t want me to going to detail all the dumb shit I did. Lol.

[@DonMiddleton-j8v]

Question 1 is why not melt the copper and aluminum into bars when you find help question 2 how much would you say it cost to try to start up what you do in the Biden hell were in

[@ProjectShopFl]

I am going to start melting some of the copper soon. If you have a truck and a scale that's a start. lol I don't know how much it would cost to get all the equipment I have I got most of mine used and or on there barter system or made it my self.
