    A Week's Work, Not Bad for a New Guy?

    After two weeks really...of collecting, stripping, dumpster diving, processing, repeating... plus getting almost free crap from public auction...this is how far in one week I've gotten in taking it all apart (from t.v.'s to vacuums to old monitors and cellphones). I didn't include pics of more motors and transformers and stuff...but here's most of what's what for now...see pics on flcker file here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/garnerf...7629587700917/

    Already took a trip last week to yard--116.00 of sheet metal and random other stuff.



    So, for a new guy...not too shabby?

    That Hasler is a 70# scale with a remote screen! If it works, don't scrap it.....I'd love a scale with a remote screen! Mount it in that sweet looking workshop with a tub on it, and fill it up!!!!
