    California scrapper (man I hate that term)

    Hello Everyone -

    This forum is awesome. Not only is it extremely helpful and full of knowledgeable users, but you guys are actually really polite. (I thought politeness went away with the invention of the internet)

    Anyway, I finally registered as a user because I often times have questions.

    I have been in the business for a couple of years. I used to do IP scrap tear downs for major companies, but unfortunately, structurally the company wasn't set up to make money, so we were forced to close the doors. However, what that did is get me into loving the un-stripped wire industry. I've done so many experiments and calculations with wire that I have figured out what is worth and not worth stripping. But I still have questions in regards to equipment. I'll save that for the non-introduction forum part of this site.

    Well, I look forward to continually reading the posts.



    Thanks

    Elijah

    Doubtful Elijah, I lead a sheltered life in the Richmond/San Pablo area
