Another new member

Hello there. New member here. I do most of my scrapping based off of what I find on craigslist free ads and whether or not its worth the money in gas to drive across the city to pick things up. Been threads on this forum for a while and figured I should join up. My wife thinks Im nutts but I enjoy tinkering with things or just ripping them apart, so even if I only make five bucks for a saturdays worth of work, it still beats sitting on the couch all day and watching duck dynasty re-runs.


Thanks to mattinthehat for reminding me, a while back here I read about a book created by one of the members, I think it was in regards to escrap and went for about $10. I tried to search for it but cant find a working link for the life of me, if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

There is no good link for the book at the moment, don't know what happened with it.

Welcome from Michigan/Florida! You can get your online degree at Scrapper University right here.

But hey, guess you cant make progress without risk.

Welcome. My little 4x8 trailer doesn't get much use, but it sure is nice to have when I need it. If you can afford it, and have space to store it, I don't see how it could be a bad investment as it can be used for other stuff aside from scrap.
