    Smile Hi from New Hampshire

    I have been lurking for a few days now.I keep checking back so I figured that it was time to join the forum.I have been collecting scrap since I was 8 or 9 years old.The last load that I did was a couple of months ago.I have a system down pretty good.I have a buddy in the trash business that will drop me off a roll off box.The last load had 10 cars in it.Well it was a mix of cars and trucks and misc. appliances and light iron.I load and crush everything with a Cat 215 excavator and a big rock.I will post a few pics as soon as I find out how to do it.I real interested in learning about scrapping electronic items.It looks like there is a few $$$$$$$ to be made doing that!I have just been throwing them in with the cars in the past.I also do a little bit of sawing with a Woodmizer LT40D Super Hydraulic saw mill,hence the Joethemillguy name...Joe

    Thank you folks for the warm welcome.I did check out Easy's videos and a few more that I came across on Utube.Yes the Jaffrey and also Keene area are real nice,but have been picked over pretty good.There is a lot of competition around here.I used to get cars for free but now I have to pay for them.I have a couple of pics that I am trying to up load but I am not having any luck.I also tried to start an album and send them there.I'm not having any luck either way.What am I doing wrong?:confused:

    I go about it a little different but.....

    Welcome to the board. What types of wood are you milling? I do bandsaw projects from time to time, sounds like you could cut any size blank needed.

    .I'm not having any luck either way.What am I doing wrong?
    I use photobucket and upload to it and then from photobucket you see a tab called direct link, click on that and it will copy the address of that picture. Then when you post, click the icon for insert image(looks like little square window) and right click paste the pic address in the address box then your pic will be added to your post. Hope that was not too confusing.
