today was my first ceiling fan .Your way of doing it with the snips worked out great for me.

More power tool work its faster but each to there own

I've never had the caps of the ceiling fan come off easy. I usually beat the hell of of them with the claw end of a hammer. I don't have a vice so I place a screwdriver in the hole of the opposite end of the screwed on piece and turn with my hand, usually comes off pretty easily.

A small coincidence is I happened to find one to scrap. It had a good supply of copper but it was the bearings that I had a use for.

You haven’t got the fan on, cause you just torn it apart !lol good video thank you, roger 😊

[josephcormier]

Good video this helps the newbie scrapers and it's good to see it when you're a old hand scraper two thumbs

@18:53 you knew what type of metal it was just by feeling it?? I guess that comes with experience, but I feel so slow trying to figure out different metal

[simplescrapping]

I just did this last week, found a cut off wheel made real quick work of it! Just sliced it on the top and pulled 'me out the bottom. Did the outside ring first, cut the bearing piece off and then took out the inside ones.

Awesome video. Cable Cutters to the rescue. Great process.

Hello. Please show how to separate copper plate from bottom of frying pan?

[joshp]

Angle grinder for the windings? Feel like that would be quicker

[francesrosesuarez]

I think I remember you said your wife would work on taking out the copper since she can't be in the shop. I enjoyed your video.

[marknunya]

You missed my favorite tool the Air chisel. I think that's honestly the fastest one I've seen you use uh-oh now you know how long I've been watching your channel.

Is bronze worth anything I figure to ask you sinse you do this daily basis I have a few it's like brass but week on the magnet side by means stick but not strong at all

[MrShekoexile]

Scrapping and cats is a perfect video for me. What are all their names? I know Peanut Butter but not the others'

[edbiedenkapp]

After cutting the copper. (which you Showed me on a another video.) I had found using fencing pliers works well to pull out the copper. My scrapyard tells me the arms on the fan that holds the blades are zink. Which they consider it be dirty aluminum. I really don’t know so I just roll with it.

Do u get more money if u take it apart

[MrsBuddevil]

$3 something? Dang... 2.39 in ARKANSAS

To loosen rough screws, hold screwdriver in screw and hit driver with a hammer, it normally works. Well you did OK bashing it anyway.
