New member reposting intro as the intro I did last evening apparently got lost...
Howdy! 61 years young. Name's Felix. Old enough to know better and too young to retire so scrapping seemed like a fun thing to do in my spare time. I also raise honeybees, sell honey and drive a school bus as a substitute which suits me just fine. Been scrapping for about 6 months now and mostly been entertained by it all. Learning a lot every day. My local buying yard is quite helpful and patient. Seems I ask new questions every visit and they mostly have a smile and an answer.
I use an old & reliable Chevy Cargo van I've had for 18 years as a toolbox. I installed a 2nd battery on an isolator switch, 1500 watt inverter and what seems to be an entire 2nd set of shop tools (including a floor jack and 4 jack stands) over the last 6 months so I wasn't always looking for something in one place or the other.
I use a 16' wood deck 7,000 GCW car trailer for hauling. It now has installed on the front a 12v 3,000 # winch to haul on car hulks plus a 1 ton electrified crane on the passenger side front to lift riding mowers, engine blocks etc. Seems to be working out ok.
Enough about me. I'm glad to be a part of the community!
Below is a link 'Scrap Metal' to some of my 1st photographs. I haven't yet gotten a photobucket account but posted some photos to my own pages.
