Scrapping Window Fans - How much copper is inside? - Trash to Treasure - Melting Copper

[@HeinrichsMade]

Awesome job my friend! I love the spoil alert hahah. I can't believe that fan gave you such a hard time. Keep them coming 👍

[@Scrap2Cast]

Hahaha thanks buddy! I can’t believe all the tools I needed to get it apart. What a piece of shit it was 🤣

[@HeinrichsMade]

@@Scrap2Cast that flat head screwdriver? Hahah it's an oldie!

[@Scrap2Cast]

I was talking about the second fan in my comment above, the newer one 🙂

[@HeinrichsMade]

@@Scrap2Cast yeah you'd think it would be a bit easier.

[@thelocksmithdude4324]

Very nicely done!!!

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks so much man!!!

[@SJWCASTING]

great pours and melts buddy! they look better when you casted them in the smaller molds. great video man!! keep it up!!

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks a bunch my friend! I happen to agree with you! I like those small molds. I still need to get some smaller graphite molds, other than the 5 pound mold that I always use. 😁🔥🔥

[@magnussahlstrom4172]

Lovely video! I just love the concept of scrapping for casting. I was watching this vid while scrapping out a kitchenblender I found. Lots of copper in them. Keep up the good work! 💪🏻💥

[@Scrap2Cast]

Hey buddy! Thanks for checking out my video as always 🙂 Ooooo a blender, I never scrapped one of those before. I’ll be sure to keep my eyes open for one. Thanks for the tip!!!

[@magnussahlstrom4172]

@@Scrap2Cast well, at least it’s a lot of copper for a small appliance. This was a countertop blender.

[@Scrap2Cast]

@@magnussahlstrom4172 how much in weight did you end up getting from it??? 🤤 I love copper

[@magnussahlstrom4172]

@@Scrap2Cast I haven’t finished scrapping the motor or stripped the wires yet but my guess is half a pound with all the wiring and capacitors and stuff.

[@magnussahlstrom4172]

But it could be less, though. But still good for a small appliance.

[@KrakenCasting]

Woof, that copper didn't want to cooperate. Good thing you got your revenge with a hammer! 🤣

[@Scrap2Cast]

Hahahaha tell me about it brother!!! That second fan really pissed me off. I’m honestly considering letting my viewers see just how much uncooperative scrap makes my blood boil! 🤣

[@JsStack]

Hello fellow scrapper and melter. I have been watching your channel for a while under my real name and can’t believe I have not subscribed to you under my channel. I am behind on watching videos. Been busy with family, work, and my own channel. Great tear down and melt. Gotta love a nice chunky copper bar. I was laughing to myself when you went to stamp the first pour on the block. I was going, this is going to break lol Great video and awesome melt. Hope you hit 1000 soon. Good luck 👍

[@Scrap2Cast]

Hey J!!! Dude no worries at all! One thing we creators don’t seem to have enough of, is time! I admit I’ve fallen way behind with a lot of channels that I’m subbed to. Hoping to get caught up over the course of this week! Thanks a bunch my friend!

[@SilverScorpion]

Great video

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks buddy!

[@Thinksum]

Awesomeness

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thanks a bunch buddy!!! 🙂

[@thecrazerkid2146]

That window fan was vinatge and worth more than you could ever make from scraping it

[@Scrap2Cast]

It’s not about the money, if it was there wouldn’t be a stack of ingots on the table or a YT channel. Also, one of the motors was toast so I highly doubt it would be worth anything more than scrap. Thanks for the concern and thanks for watching.

[@ManMountainMetals]

@@Scrap2Cast nah brother you scrap something worth a 💩 I will let you know right quick😜🤣😂🤣

[@Scrap2Cast]

@@ManMountainMetals Much appreciated my friend! 😁🤣

[@Scrap2Cast]

@Alexthefancollector Walker it’s scrapped and done with. I dont collect that stuff nor do I have the space to collect that stuff. Like previously stated, I can’t keep “everything”

[@ManMountainMetals]

This is part of having a scrapping channel there is always people with a ready opinion of what you did wrong and complete willingness to share at length that opinion 👍

[@oxoniumgirl]

Just found your channel, love your video style and approach. I def wanna see where you'll get to in time. Might I strongly recommend Borax fluxing your copper melts? You're losing a hell of a lot of material to oxidation and slag in your melts/pours right now, and borax is cheap as dirt. It's a physical process not just a chemical one so make sure you use enough borax to cover the top of the molten pool, for your size crucible maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Add it in while the metal is warming up but before it becomes molten as borax contains a lot of water that has to be expelled first before it works as a flux. You'll get so much cleaner pours and recover so much more copper without wasting gas on remelts and repours.

[@Scrap2Cast]

Thank you. I do use Borax, I don’t show it in every video. Appreciate the concern 😁

[@mattyal9347]

I watched a video that when the guy quenched his ingot it was in a mixture of water, vinegar and salt. The ingot came out like it was polished. I plan to break down some motors and plan to use the mixture because of those nasty blackheads the burnt lacquer leaves.

[@Scrap2Cast]

Oooh I’m going to try that tonight. I’d like to see how legit that method is. Thanks for the tip man!

[@TheRealSquirrel]

Bro 1k By thanksgiving is in the works. That plastic fan HAHAHA

[@Scrap2Cast]

I’ve never let a piece of scrap defeat me but that piece of shit fan sure came close!!!

[@TheRealSquirrel]

@@Scrap2Cast haha.

[@fanboy11thefanfanatic]

That was a very old and rare metal window fan! Please tell me it didn’t work, as you could have sold that for at least triple the money you made from scrapping it

[@Scrap2Cast]

No it was toast.

[@fanboy11thefanfanatic]

@@Scrap2Cast lol good XD

[@fanboy11thefanfanatic]

Box fan was crap either working or not XD

[@Scrap2Cast]

Yeah it was a hunk of crap, one motor wouldn’t work at all, the other powered on but was wicked slow and rattled like crazy. I do appreciate the info though as I had no idea that type of fan was collectible like that. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for them!

[@Scrap2Cast]

@@fanboy11thefanfanatic hell yeah brother, those box fans get gross AF inside 🤣

866, creeping closer.

[@Scrap2Cast]

Slowly but surely I’ll get there, eventually...

[@NeverEvil1]

@@Scrap2Cast and then you will be gaining subs like crazy. The first 10k are the slowest, but channels usually have better content and interaction. After 10k, it starts to become over whelming for responses and the filming and editing becomes a full time job in itself.

[@Scrap2Cast]

@@NeverEvil1 I surely hope so! I already feel like it is a full time job lol 🙂

[@shaolinfox30]

That looks like a pretty badass wire stripper for $200 my friend. Baby if I stopped spending spending $200 on the other type of strippers I could buy one 😱😁😬

[@Scrap2Cast]

Hahahaha! 😂 The best part about this stripper, it doesn't keep costing you money every time you use it! 🤣Well, unless you count the electricity it uses that is, which is very minimal!

[@RetroJayFans]

Rip lasko :[

[@Scrap2Cast]

🤣

[@dukenukem001]

just a few more subs

[@Scrap2Cast]

Yeah buddy, I was hoping to hit 1k by the end of the month. Doesn’t look to promising as of yet.
