    New Job at a scrap yard

    I love it! I am currently stripping aluminum radiators from a large company, we get 2 dumpsters full a week that we are contracted for 4 years. We also get large diesel engine blocks (15L), turbos(70lbs of irony), exhaust manifolds(100 lbs of SS each), aluminum intakes, and a ton of 380 cast. It is a lot of fun taking this stuff apart. I like scrapping, but leads have been few and far between now a days. Might as well get paid to process someone else's stuff! Besides, you all are bringing to me!

    First time using a plasma cutter, it's like a lightsaber guys! SWISH and pieces fall to the floor.

    Everyone one of you is 2 minutes too late.
