Newb here, -Southern In

Hey guys, I've been lurking the forums here for a while and finally got around to making my account, I'm looking to get into the scrapper life style, it seems fun and the idea of not having a boss sounds golden.

That being said, I don't have a lot to start out with, Just the bed of my little s-10 pickup and good ol' fashion hard work and will power.



Any tips for a guy just starting out? or should i just get out there and just start the back allies hunting some metal?

Lots of good stuff to read. The back alleys are a great place to start, but get permission if you find something. Many times it leads to them giving you even more stuff to scrap.

welcome Ben

Welcome; there is plenty of talk on here in different threads about where to look for scrap. Figure out what you want to scrap. Some people do cars/trucks and auto parts, others do the copper/brass/alum. thing.
We're primarily doing e-scrap, but there is steel leftovers, alum. scrap some stainless also and that's just gravy.

I wonder if Indiana has the most members on here...... there is an awful lot. Anyways, welcome. All you need to start is what you have! You should get some business cards to hand out as well to get get your business on the map.

Get a day job.
