    When the previous question was asked I was limited in time. A chance to scrap three ATM's was courtesy of Dakotarog.



    For starters it is assumed that this will be more of an educational project than a financial windfall. The cost of fuel will probably be more than the scrap value given the current market. Because of experience with scrapping safes it is expected that the majority of it's weight will be concrete and a gasoline torch will be needed instead of the standard propane or acetylene torch. There is also a trick to cutting metal against concrete because it pops and is painful when it hits you. We will see if it requires a therma lancing torch.

    I am hoping that the technology will yield some precious metals that I do not have experience with and the core of the education I hope to receive. Any help will be appreciated.
