Yeah just messing!

[@thomasbrandow8639]

Maniac Creative Genius.......the shop is coming together mighty fine.......working and having fun, we should call that furking....thanks for the content.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Haha, Thanks for the laugh and for watching.

[@smallgaragebigdreams1085]

Perfect timing. Picked up about 180 bay lights last night now I got something to watch while I break me down 💪🏻 keep that copper rolling buddy

[@ProjectShopFl]

Nice score. Thanks for sharing

[@smallgaragebigdreams1085]

@@ProjectShopFl be nice to find some wire to strip but up north here in Canada it’s hard to come by for some reason

[@davidfilley2321]

There's something inherently satisfying watching the Copper King destroy wire so smoothly...

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@diademmichael]

Love watching you turn copper into dollars. The most amazing thing I see when watching your videos is your employees willing to work. Getting rare these days!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Haha, Thanks

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

Just wanted to say thank you 🙏 for inspiring me to start a new scrap venture. I got a text today for the opportunity to have ALL of the lights(wall Mounted and Street lamp lights )in the WHOLE MALL by my house. Free of charge. Keep doing what you do. Just know that I am grateful I’m sure I’m not alone! Also after they are done with this job , they have another mall and will have me on speedial!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Wow, Thats awesome I hope it works out for you.Thanks for sharing.

[@thescrapmeister]

Another awesome video... glued to the screen keep them coming.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@Alrik.]

Really cool to see the granulator in action! I'm looking forward to seeing the material sluiced. Also great to see you wear protective clothing. It's fun to see you do crazy stuff, but I'd hate for you to get hurt 😅

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, I can't wait ti build a new sluice.

[@jjr902]

It’s like watching a machine print money! 👍🏽

[@ProjectShopFl]

Haha thanks

[@jericdublin68]

I have a similar shredder I welded a piece of pipe on the charger chute that my wire cutters fit so I don't have to have a separate container to feed the shredder. Just cut and feed at the same time

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thats a great idea thanks

[@etscrapping9923]

Wish I had sit up like this. Great video.👍

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, Keep scrapping and stay positive.

[@DeanG55]

Great video!! Look like you love the new set up? LOL!!

How long ago did you take that load to the scrap yard. #1 is down to 2.90 in nashville

[@ProjectShopFl]

Monday

[@robertlivingstone3947]

Nice looking copper

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks 👊

[@MrLandphill]

I wish I lived closer to your shop, I would buy some of that wire from you.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Haha, for scrap or for electrical?

[@MrLandphill]

@@ProjectShopFl for my battery bank, making jumpers to tie a bunch of batteries together

[@ProjectShopFl]

@@MrLandphill Nice, I'd like to do something like that. lol

[@MrLandphill]

@@ProjectShopFl you probably already know but, if you are going solar the larger the gauge the better and the finer the inner wire size the better. have a good one. Phill

[@kenord3437]

Couldn’t you make a Perspex cover for the top rollers for when you reach over the top

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes, I plan on it when I do the next round of upgrades.

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

I love that it cuts top and bottom so there is little to no peeling to be done. You said you made this I can’t just go buy one right?

[@ScrapFatherScrapSon]

I’ve got a stripmeister the one you chuck a drill to. It gets the job done but only cuts one side

[@ProjectShopFl]

I did not make this machine I bought it broke and in pieces for $250. you can buy them for around 2k

[@ProjectShopFl]

I'm sure its better than doing it by hand. lol

[@bigredbullion3883]

Love the copper iv beet stock piling mine to get 1 big pay day at end of the year

[@ProjectShopFl]

Nice, Hope it's a big payday.

[@zacklamprey4784]

Damm boy now that’s what I call killer copper wire!!!!!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@ThePurpleSquirrel]

What do you do with the output of the granulator?

[@ProjectShopFl]

Wash it and sell it.

[@dougwilson7530]

Did you ever think about using a spring from a drum brake system.

[@ProjectShopFl]

No, but thanks for the suggestion

[@nikkorodriguez172]

What’s the company that makes your copper stripper machine if you don’t mind sharing I would love to know

[@ProjectShopFl]

I'm not sure it did not have any manufacture info. Might be a blue dog, It's definitely made in china.

[@ProjectShopFl]

I don't know it's a Chinese machine

[@manofriend4236]

Is bare bright worth more than granulated ?

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes

[@TECHNICUSChannel]

Oh those are a mega wires, huge coppah from them!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@silverlicious2086]

Wire stripper is a monster. Wire going in and MONEY coming out the other side. What was your hired help labor cost? Loved all the cam angles and special effects when you processed it. Hell of a lot of editing work. It was interesting to hear all your commentary on the functions of the different parts of the machines. Nice job man. Granulator and sluice is great to get every last drop of copper. Funny af with all the full cans you dropped in the granulator. Gotta have fun in the shop. Really enjoyed it.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks, This was the most edited video I've made. lol I pay $15 P/H took 3 hours to strip but that included a lot of camera work.

[@silverlicious2086]

$45.00 for the help? Just a drop in the copper bucket with what you sold it for. That's def the way to go to get the job done faster. Well worth it.

[@gail8183]

why wouldn't you just use perforated steel for the screen? you can get nearly any size hole with any spacing and any gauge

[@ProjectShopFl]

Because at 8 PM on a Saturday all I had was a pice of scrap metal, I made do with what I had available.

[@cditzler6313]

you should rig your cutters on the unit itself chop and it falls in plus maybe could use a dremel to sand and deburr the blades idk

[@ProjectShopFl]

That is a great Idea to put the cutters on the machine. I have most of the parts to make a automatic pre shredder. I have a air grinder I use to sharpen the blades. It needs a going through so I'm going to take it apart and sharpen them out of the machine.

[@beaverc2884]

That wire stripper sucks up wire like it's spaghetti.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Haha, I have plans to make it faster. lol

[@lucaswagt6012]

Hello i use a gardenshredder to preshred the cable like this .then you dont have to cut by hand😎 greetings from the netherlands

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thats awesome, I've always wondered how one would work on copper.

[@manofriend4236]

What type of granulator is that and does it separate the plastic from the copper ?

[@ProjectShopFl]

It was originally a plastic granulator that came from a injection molding company and yes it fully separates the plastic and copper

[@anger42]

Do they accept copper bullion at your location (where you sell your copper)

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thats a great ??? I'd have to ask. lol

[@derekhorseman9103]

Where did you get that wire stripper?

[@ProjectShopFl]

I got it used from a customer of mine.

[@derekhorseman9103]

@@ProjectShopFl what's the brand/ model? Machine looks awesome

[@ProjectShopFl]

@@derekhorseman9103 It don't have a brand or model #. Best guess is it's a Chinese knockoff of a blue rock or copper mine. Mine is highly modded though. lol

[@6980869]

So, do u take the granulated copper to the scrapyard? If so, what grade is that? Do they not have issues with not being able to verify its source? Do they have an analyzer? Thanks for sharing. Aloha

[@famousamoso7]

Project Shop FL 2 weeks ago You get a #1 copper price rather than a # 1 insulated price.

[@nadenitza]

@@famousamoso7 Is it worth the time invested to get the grade upgrade?

[@ProjectShopFl]

Yes I sell it at the scrap yard for a #1 copper price. They do analyze the chops.

[@brandonpete9829]

@@ProjectShopFl our scrapyard just paid over 9 grand for copper today. Was a busy day thats for sure

[@dougwilson7530]

Damn I want to find a dumpster like that !.Don't know if my stripper can handle stuff that big though. Keep grinding man. Great content.

[@computerlearingchannel4257]

I think he meant the the blue wheel bin he found in the dumbster not the copper wire

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@ProjectShopFl]

You are correct, That would have been the best dumpster find ever. lol

[@eby6114]

If you have a "need" for the granulator I'd probably buy the replaceable blade style cutter. Your worth a few hundred an hour easy. If you figured many hours it's going to take to do it yourself it's probably cheaper to buy. Is it tin coated steel or tin coated copper? If copper it can be your future bars. Brass handle for the stripper stop handle.

[@ProjectShopFl]

It it the tin coated copper, Mainly cot to watch out for communication cable. some have a type of foil, some have a tin or silver coated ground, and some have a sticky substance in them. All will down grade to a $2 chops price. I like the Idea of making handle out of copper or brass

[@elitescrapmetalpickup]

Now that's how you strip wire

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks

[@zacklamprey4784]

That’s what I call strip Zella lol that thing can strip any thing

[@ProjectShopFl]

It is an amazing machine

[@raymondbarlow9717]

can,t wait to see some of these projects come to life, meanwhile what if you fixed a mirror at an angle above the stripper and be able to see how your cutting, ha save swan necking all the time., happy hunting Bro. Razzo

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thats a great Idea thanks 👊

[@RuralSurvivalLLC]

Personal Opinion: Slow down RPM on the granulator, gear reducer would likely do the trick on the torque also.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Why would slowing it down be better? It seemed to work better when I was running a 3700 RPM motor rather than the 1700 RPM on it now.

[@jr-a-cat]

Dang that was one big sticky mess glad I don't have to clean it up .

[@ProjectShopFl]

haha, it was worth it. lol

[@schwarz6337]

The granulator and sluicing process seems too slow to be profitable. Definitely looks like it would be fun to play with though. Keep up the good work.

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks! It is slow on its own, but with a pre shredder and a water sluice it will make a big difference.

[@garyammerman2153]

Does a working man ever have any fun?😂 I have a couple of stray cats in my neighborhood. Should I ship them down?😂

[@ProjectShopFl]

I was having too much fun, I had to stop my self from dropping a can of starting fluid in there. lol

[@nomerc3608]

You need a guard over the chains that are running next to your employee! It will save you a few hundred grand or more if his shirt was to get caught up in those chains! You can call me what ever you want! The chains and gears running that fast will be very bad to get caught in!

[@ProjectShopFl]

Thanks for the concern, It's hard to tell but he can't get close to the machine because of the fold out table. But you are correct it needs guards
