I recently started my scrapping hobby and I can't thank you enough for the videos and all the help I look forward to more videos

[Kenthis]

Even to experienced scrappers this series is a nice refresher, and so well done it’s very enjoyable to watch regardless

[DracironSmith]

I've been scrapping for 20+ years. Learned a couple things with this vid, thanks.

[vahjra]

This is incredibly helpful. Differentiating metal types is very hard for a beginner. Thanks!

[KarmaHoax]

Enjoy the tips as always Thub! Appreciate you to the moon and back. Your newfie buddy. Keep doin' the thing.

[RyanMacala]

Lay-person descriptions with engineering backup. Well made.

Howdy Thub.. great start to the mini series..u and vid vulture were the first scrap vids I watched.. now I guess u could say I'm on the next level lol. 3 yrs now!!! Dude thanks again man.."keep doin the thing"

[ashtonburroughs]

Hey thub, just a heads up. That arrow is an aluminum arrow shaft. The Easton camo hunter is their lower end shafts and thus are built with lower quality components. Love the videos, keep them up!!

[christopher_salvaggio]

Solid video as always. As a newer scrapper, I look forward to videos like these for advice. And your other videos are just as good. Keep doing the thing!

[TheUltimateRecycler]

Wow, pumpin' out the videos Thub!! I sometimes struggle to put up 2 a week! As usual, quality content 👍😊

[drdaver]

This video proved you are genuinely a super smart dude!

[onewheellank]

Great video ! Excited for tomorrows because I am very bad at managing my small amount of space for scrapping

[livvyweimar]

This is super easy to follow. Thanks for the tips!

[ferndog]

This is 101 masterclass. The links are awesome, too.

Just made my first haul today, your videos have been really helpful, Thub

@4:57 besides being more dense/heavy, bare/pure zinc is also more lustrous (shiny) than aluminum. under a torch, zinc flakes will illuminate with a bluish color; aluminum flakes illuminate with a white color. i am not sure about zinc-aluminum alloys.

mixed with HCL (acidic), zinc will also illuminate with a green-blue/aqua color under a flame.

Great points m8. Keep up the good work. God bless y'all.

The root killer test works great..copper sulphate in water solution 😉 Grind, put a tiny bit on exposed metal. If it turns black its die cast. If it stays clear it's Aluminum. Sorted. The silver plated stuff goes for $4:50 US at my buyer..hoard that stuff!

[jackpotdigger]

again good job very detail
keep doing the thing
