    Welcome from the Republic of West Florida. Tip: Ya don't need luck, just some common sense, the rest is all right here on the forum. Tens of thousands of days of experience scrapping every thing you can imagine. Just look it up. Google is your friend.

    Thanks njsouth, i stumbled upon scrapping while researching projects for reclaimed pallets and other junk. i have always been drawn to the "garbage" that other people threw out and would often pick it up and store it at home thinking that I would eventually find a use for it. after a while i ended up with a heap of reclaimed junk that i could use as parts for my projects.i have collected things such as old cpu's , rusty bicycles, broken oscillating fans and microwaves to name a few. i figure i'll start scrapping these objects to make way for new items and to learn the ropes about scrapping while making some money in the process. i wish i would have discovered scrapping sooner . i think i am going to start with the eight 1990s cpu's i have stored. I'm definitely going to go through all of the older posts and am looking forward to learning from all the scrappers in this forum
