    Hi from Canada

    Hi, my name is Morgan, I am 25 and live in a small town of 350 people. Wow, bin doing this as a hobby job for the last year, making some good money and now in the last month or so it has been taking off! I mainly specialize in copper,brass, and aluminum. It has got to the point where I had to get an old beater truck as to not wreck my good one. Just found this site and love it, very informative! My next purchase is a wire stripper, but dunno what to spend or what kind to get, any tips for this young hill billy?

    Parrothead, I think if people can get access to some small tools, maybe even a welder, one could make this stripper for less than $50.

    Step one, get an old pipe cutter, has to have the cutting wheel on the up and down adjuster, no stationary like some others, then cut it in half, will have to figure some way to fix it to the stripper base or get a tab welded onto it and drill some holes to bolt it on , get a pulley, bolts, metal, and then build this!

    p.s. sorry me DeWalt drill does not look as good as the cutter ahahaha
