Michael's Scrap-Life
United States
Registrace 30. 11. 2020
My name is Michael, and I am a 31 year old from North Carolina. This channel is dedicated to documenting all aspects of my life relating to scrap metal, recycling, and heavy machinery. I hope to document my personal experiences, as an entrepreneur, in the scrap metal industry. Along side scrap metal related videos, I plan to document other personal projects, such as my 1976 Ford F-250 crew cab truck. This is my first channel, so it will take some time for me to polish my video taking and editing skills.
Below is a list of topics you may see on this channel:
Scrap Metal
Recycling
Heavy Equipment
Road Tractors / Big rigs / Trailers
Processing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
Starting new businesses (mostly recycling related)
Diesel Engines
Project Trucks / Equipment
Auctions / Auction Purchases
If you have any suggestions of topics I could cover related to those above, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Thanks,
Michael's Scrap-Life

Its a concave for a cone crusher.
I always wanted one of those when I was in the business but could never afford it.
If its 25% iron why isnt it magnetic?
That wasn't bad
Does it have a title?
The pile of stainless steel looks an awful lot like aluminum.
Do this with McDonald's McChicken 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Weird cuz I say scrapyard to my 05 suv that likes to give me problems all the time…and it starts working good again.
I feel your pain bro !!
Your personal skidsteer. Lol it's a pile of shit. Stop crying. I could understand if it was new. But come on lol
😢 scrap it
Sounds like cast to me
Supernice bike! And tools.... You can never get too much. Especially those 10mm!😂
So that’s why people steal it to scrap it. You should Payless and slow down crime🤷♂️
Order over the phone or online
Hell yeah,this will be educational and fun to watch
💯 do it
That is weird magnet sticks to stainless steel. It’s not sticking copper , bronze, and aluminum now magnesium.
I loaned out a tool to a different trade and when they were done they just left it there. I asked about it and they said it's not my tool, so why would I clean up? Crazy world we live in.
They don't care when they don't have to pay. Facts... They break it and tell you it's the cost of running a business. I hate employees
Is the copper in them whats valuable?
That I did not know new info thanx
Manganese crusher liner
Yeah he works in a junkyard, but doesn't understand the idea of foot protection 😂

A metallurgist is proficient in his or her profession via academia.

NO MATCH!! 😂
Man, thank you for doing this! I really appreciate the "inside" look at a scrapyard! I had no idea how complex it could be.
1973 cb 350 scrambler, pipes hi and reinforced handlebars, rode it until it committed suicide, ran it into a car that ran a stopsign.❤❤❤
FIRED
By the time you scrap your pile, the cost to ship it to a buyer will have gone up. If the fuel cost goes up or you have a breakdown. If you dont own the land and rent. The owner can claim your metal and you would have to prove where the metal came from.
Things break down at a bad time. Theory is, the machines only break up when it is a good time.
You are correct. People always find something to complain about.
I live at HF and they never have Icon in stock.
Go to the pound get yourself 2 pit bulls the meanest you can find. build them a great home! fresh water every day, fresh food every day And above all give them lots of belly rubs on weekday take them home.
They use the same te techniek for planets and stars.
