Piddlin’ with Copper Out Back
Papa Scrap's dumpster diving adventures for scrap metal and other valuable materials might include:
A laid‑back space where creativity meets curiosity. Backyard Piddling with Copper is all about slowing down, grabbing a few scraps of metal, and seeing what you can coax out of them with a hammer, a torch, and a free afternoon. It’s the joy of experimenting without pressure — bending, shaping, heating, and polishing copper just to watch it transform in your hands. Whether you’re making small trinkets, testing out new techniques, or simply enjoying the smell of fresh-cut grass while you tinker, this is a place for simple pleasures and hands-on craftsmanship. It’s not about perfection; it’s about the fun of the process and the satisfaction of creating something with your own two hands.
Searching through construction sites, renovation projects, or demolition areas for discarded metals like copper, aluminum, or steel.
Exploring industrial areas, factories, or warehouses for scrap materials like pallets, machinery parts, or equipment.
Diving into residential dumpsters for appliances, plumbing fixtures, or electrical components containing valuable metals.
