    bnb{ no offense intended. but there are a lot of noobs come here and common sense is becoming more rare these days it seems. I only pointed out that many with no experience will watch that video and take it for gospel. that creates half a**ed uneducated competition we don't need.

    I know we can't stop competition and progress, but we certainly don't need to muddy the scrappers water any more then it already is.



    the video quality was very very good, may I suggest you do a teaching vid on the drives.

    i dont think he is forcing child labor at all, everyone there seems happy. todays kids need work ethic more than ever before and i congradulate the job he is doing. every summer i get my girlfriends boy and he works with me everyday, he is 11 and can work a floor jack take off and put on wheels and he takes the power supplys outof computers for us. when we load cars he can run the winch or the steering wheel. he knows how to hook up booster cables and a battery charger. he knows how to take out valve cores, i wont let him use saws or grinders yet but this summer i may show him how to use a chopsaw. my oldest girl has been able to drive a 5 speed since she was 6, she is 14 now and can hook up a trailer by herself, remove the hitch balls and can tell which trailer goes with which ball. both my girls can change a flat tire, and when they were racing four wheelers my oldest could adjust here clutch springs. im pretty sure the beer is just a joke un less its root beer. to me anything is better than sending them to the room with video games for the summer. i could go on and on about this but we need to look at the world and where its headed. our future adults will need work ethic and now is the best time to show them

    Thats Not child labor.. Thats LOVE>> BABY..

    Here is why...

    Here what happen a few days ago.. My daughter was in her room playing dolls.. and she wanted to go git a snack and what da yah know.. the door won't open..

    She yells for Dad.. but dad can't hear chyt.. so then he yelled for BOB The BUILDER and He goes What Monkey.. I can't get out.. I need a screwdriver...

    a few minutes later she was sittin at the table having snack.. Thats what its all about.. learning to work tools.. working to figure things out instead of bawling.. I CAN"T GET OUT>>>

    CHILD LABOR Nahhhh..

    They've learned alot, My kids can do grinders, to chop saw to screwguns to blow tourch, They learn this because I teach them.. take the time.. Most parents don't do that these days.

    FOr those that does.. Proud of You.. Just like My family proud of Me.

    The ole saying I like to tell Me kids.. when they say.. DAD can I've a hundred dollars... I simply reply.. the Ole Smith Barney quote.. You want Money You got to earn it the hard way.. GOTTA WORK FOR IT.

    Like to say thanks for all the compliments. IT goes to show.. that kids can be joyous.. and btw.. BOB THE BUILDER did Get a SIX Pack later that night.

    OLDDUDE, I"ve thought about doing that.. Teaching what a drive dows and how it does it, there are alot of scrapper that wanna be a scrapper but they have no knowledge of how these things work,

    I've been in the computer business for over 15 years and started on the old dos punch cards back in the early 80 So. I'll consider doing a teaching video. Thanks for the Nice Compliments. My Kids are My world.

    I enjoyed the vid. Entertaining and showed the basics of taking them apart and what the different parts are.

    As far as educating people. We cant help people who aren't willing to help them self's. If you can figure out how to get a hard drive apart with common sense or what is already posted on this forum you need to be doing something else. Nobody was there to hold out hands while we learned everything. It cost us time and money to learn the things we know so anyone else can do the same. I can understand someone asking how to get a stepper motor out or how to discharge a tv but none of us have the time to sit here and tell them how and when to take every little screw out.

    Hey Thanks for the comment and You right, If I would to take every screw out on them harddrives the video would be about 6 min of boring, so.. My kids, thought it would be better

    to super speed the process...

    but in reality, it does take time.. and You gotta wanna earn it... the Reward.. My kids are happy for what they have, and they don't quibble or say.. HOW MUCH DO WE GET PAID

    They know also that it cost money for internet, xbox live cards, canides, movies, ice cream.. Oh boy I can go on with this topic.. bottom Line..

    Get Your Family involved it gets things done faster... and have a blast.. Like We do..

    Oh BOB says, He needs donation for his time so he can buy more beer....

    I was kind of thinking about a table like that but under the mesh having a sloped bottom so it acts like a funnel and put like a 5 gal bucket under it. So it would self clean itself. Think it would work?

    I did try to do that.. only thing is... You would need a at least a two foot dropped, but doing so.. it weaken the bench.. from the pounding, the slamming and the dropping of computers, plus, if You decide to torch anything and it falls in.. well.. it could end up in the bucket down at the bottom.. best to do it flat.. works great.. You maybe have to remove the screen once every month.. I do it about almost twice a month as I do about six tons of computers. and such.

    hope that helped..

    The table is specially design to catch any falling screws that comes out of computer or what not, What I did, I took and builted a base, and ontop .. I took two sheets of pressed boards measure are 24 inches wide by 8 foot long, and layed them on top, and then I builted a frame around the edge of the two sheets, and then I took one sheet of 4 x 8 mesh grate screen, and screwed that into place along the edge and I then slipped two by fours under the mesh grate and basically put three of them, splitting the difference up.. and then I would screw them into place.. one screw on one end of the diamond and another screw at the other end of the diamond, to keep the mesh grate from moving,

    at the end I leave it open, if I need to slide My magnet stick up thru there to retrive a bit or what not.

    I've since did some modification to my bench, I made a tool rack holder, and screw driver holder and a few other things, and made a tray for my small bits to keep them falling into the bit while not in use.

    its been a great bench,, I've beat on it for now 7 years and its still a fine piece of art.

    if You've any quesiton please let me know and I'll make a small video of it.

    Thanks for asking.

    I can't quite belive You would think a father.. Like Me would give My kid beer.. I can give you first hand about a father that was a alcholic... its not the alcohol that cause the problem it the person that drinks it, My dad use to beat the piss out of me using zbars,,,, if anyone in the storm door bussiness You would know what they are,

    I'm a father of four wonderful kids, 19, 14, 11, and 8...

    and I adore each and everyone of them, I don't hit my kids, nor do I get drunk, I'm not even close to My father... So,, Please don't assume.. and Please Forgive Your father, as I've.

    I tried doing a slant on the table.. problem is the base.. the table need to be a flat base so when You work on it it doesn't squirm around.. and also.. you would have to dig out your bits everytime they slide on down the slope.. I just take the top off once every month to clean out approx 49lbs of screws and what not. so flat is better.

    If your paying in beer I'm available..haha!

    On hard work an kids..**** skippy. I was taught when younger to do some work if I wanted something. That usually meant helping my grandfather load cars on the flatbed, or unload them or whatever else he needed done..oh the stories I could tell. I wish it had just been taking apart computers, an such. Oh no for us it was working in the yard getting the cars ready to go in the am. I got the scars to show it to boot, I musta busted my head open four or five times on the back of that accursed flatbed. Stitches in your head when your 7 are no fun, specially when they didn't numb you up back then to get'm!

    The work was hard, but I don't regret it. It taught us to work for what we wanted, and not to take things for granted. An I've adopted that for my adult working life. Whether it was selling toys, or throwing boxes around while with Amazon, or alphabetizing books while working for Borders, to now running my own scrap business.

    They always said "Hard work builds character!" it explains why I'm such one today.
