    New guy saying HI.

    Howdy,

    Found this site when I did a search on how to remove copper from stators.
    (looks like there is no easy way.)

    My son actually started me in the scrap hobby. I thought he was nuts when he started haulin in scrap cars at the age of 13. Told me he would make enough to cover my fuel and more. Yeah, right.

    I humored him and had to eat my words.



    8 years later he is now living the life of a scrapper, and I look to maximize the non-ferrous side of my hobby.

    Hi, Patton. Welcome and pull up a chair with a cup of coffee. There's enough information re: scrapping non-ferrous to keep you busy reading for awhile.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    He is 20 now. Works as an asst. manager at a yard. While scrapping everything he can get a hold of on the side.
