Guess the weight of this copper?

So I've finally got around to weighing my copper. It's all hand stripped, I need to invest in a machine!

Maybe 50 lbs

60 lbs

Ok so I clearly took a horrible picture. All said and done its 491lb! I was really suprised it weighed so much

The pile was about 2.5 feet tall, shoulda backed off and put something as a reference in there hah

491 lbs is a good pile to have any day of the week

That's a lot of hand strippin'... Did you use just a utility knife?

I was thinkin like 250.. Nice score for sure..

U guna get BB for that??

Make sure to call around and get the best price..i usually get 3 or 4 cents more per lb when bringing in weight like that...

that'll be one heck of a pay day!

Looks like a hand saw laying under there so that's one heck of a pile of copper!

A utility knife and 2 types of strippers. Both hand made, one uses a screw and the other uses a blade between 2 boards, ill put pictures up of the designs. The screw one I have seen, the blade I haven't seen here

Thanks...always looking for new ideas.

let us know how much u get for that pile
so we can envy you

Just out of curiosity, what is the thicker stuff from?

It was a big power supply that shorted out. That would come off a big generator. I found it at the dump talk about a hassle to load up! And I'll put the pics of the wire stripper up today when I get home, sorry been busy!
