    I gotta say, the headcam is the best idea I've ever seen in these scrapping videos. You learn so much more from a first-person perspective.

    These are the types of items that most scrappers have dreams about coming in possession of, and you are showing what process it will take when recovering the greatest value within the units. Great job 👌

      At a place I worked I used diablo blades to cut 80/20 and when I wasn't there some a-hole would use it to cut steel and it would screw up the teeth.

    📌The best wheel that we use is a 7in diamond blade it's for cutting tile but it cuts copper and paper really well. Sometimes we put it on a circular saw sometimes we put it on a grinder. Less kickbacks less dust and it won't cut you or burn you before it cut you

    Is this a slab on the side of your house where you used to do all
    Your scrapping? What a sweet upgrade the shop was for you and I’m sure your neighbors 😆. Thanks for the videos brother def given me a different outlook on scrappers. Used to live in California (what a shithole my home state has become :/ ) and there it seem if your a scrapper ypur a thief not really to be trusted . you seem like a solid ass hard working business man.

    Just a thought if your carbide blades that you used with the 7" angle grinder was expensive it would be cheaper to send it off to have the missing tips retired rather than to toss it out . It all depends if it was an expensive one or a cheap one. Good luck with your next project !

    When you delete something on a hard drive or SD card, it's still there & can be recovered. I recovered a pic on my Mom's computer by using a recovery program. The file name was gone, but I could search for file type & size, & I restored it. Eventually, if you do no recovery, your deleted files will be overwritten.
