Thanks everyone for the welcome! Like most parents we give our better computer to the teenager and are forced to work with an antiquainted machine. My point is that my CPU does not have the memory to download music and see videos. So I cannot look at utube. Mechanic668, I am looking at your still photo of your wire stripper. It looks as if you drilled different size holes and then drilled a wood screw so that the tip of the screw slices the insulation. Simple and quick. I like it. Can anyone comment on mechanic668's device?

Keep scrapping it wont be long till you find a computer at the curb that will do the job

hole in Wood for wire
Sheet rock screw just enough to Pearce . You will have to back it off a bit to load wire then tighten .
the skies the limit to creation

Welcome Mr. Golddigger. I'm a retiree also (well you wouldn't know it by looking at my schedule) and I came by scrapping quite natural. My farm machinery wore out and I began hauling it off, only to find that it was enjoyable and then there's the meals out with the wife and then charming the friendly girls at the gas station who don't mind an old gray bearded guy in coveralls and now here's all these new friends online that share the same interest. Someone should have warned you that this hobby is addictive but it's also rewarding in monetary and social ways.

Let's get all the gold we can get here because the streets are full of it in the next life and I'm thinking it will be quite worthless at the local Heavenly scrapyard !!
