"A Fortune in Scrap - Secrets of the Scrap Metal Industry" written by industry veteran, Ken Burtwell, describes how reclamation is vital to the national economy and ranks high on the list of the nation’s largest industries. We're not talking recycling plastic bottles and aluminum cans here - sure, that's something all of us can do, but what the average person doesn't know is the "hidden scrap" that's not obvious to the casual observer - and when salvaged properly - is worth a fortune!
Ken shows you how to identify different metals with magnets and chemical tests and you'll learn how to prepare them for sale to get the BIGGEST BUCKS possible. Prep tools such as "Flame Cutting" and the awesome power of the "Thermic Lance" are described.
From bridges and old buildings to old locomotives and the rails they run on, Ken covers this and shows you his (old) photos of buildings being demolished and their hidden gems. This is an example of BIG RECYCLING, and is a necessary process both from an economical and environmental point of view as there is a reduced demand on the Earth's natural resources.
Included are formulas for estimating weights of steel drums, and tables showing weight-per-pound for different metal thicknesses.
After reading Ken's "A Fortune in Scrap", you'll agree that recycling today is BIG BUSINESS and those having the moxie to forge ahead will be well rewarded.

A Fortune In Scrap Secrets of the Scrap Metal Industry Ken Burtwell Alan Gast eBook Reviews
Not the info I was looking for. Talks about a long time ago. Does not help in these days
Good book....good read
Great
This book does an excellent job providing a survey overview of the opportunities in scrap steel and how to very quickly generate substantial income in this powerful, global market. The book includes a short history, some quality ideas and a quickly understood mathmatical forumla used in this industry.
The writing is accuate, consise and clear though more depth is needed in this book. Examples might include tools and equipment that are not only needed but some of the costs involved in turning scrap into real money. Also missing is some of the finer, business type of evolving dynamics of this industry The role of the London Metals Exchange or even the Midwest U.S. Scrap Futures contract that ultimately influence the pricing of scrap and how a small time startup operator will be affected by the presence and powers of these markets.
ok book
Not as I expected, it is relay a bad book.
I was in the scrap business for a lot of years.
I learned things from this book that I didn't know.
Only 4 stars because I would warn anybody reading this that it was written pre-environmental era and some of the things mentioned, like burning wire and a number of other things, will bring you a hefty fine these days.
Hefty as in life changing, bankrupting, jail time when you can't pay...you get the idea.
Use your common sense and double check anything you're thinking about doing via your favorite search engine and/or calling the scrap yards.
Otherwise....a must read if you're thinking about getting into, or are into scrap.
GREAT BOOK. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SAY ITS A LITTLE OUTDATED BUT THIS KIND OF INFORMATION NEVER CHANGES SO IT REALLY, NEVER GOES OUT OF DATE. THIS BOOK ADDRESSES A CERTAIN ASPECT OF THE SCRAP METAL BUSINESS. IF THIS IS THE AREA YOU ARE INTERESTED IN , BUY THE BOOK AND GET STARTED. D.O.L.
