Equipment Spotlight APR 2015 Magnets
Last year, Moley Magnetics Inc. a manufacture of Scrap Yard magnets, Shears and Grapples in Lockport, NY was visiting a customer, Don Smith of Don Smith & Sons Excavating, who was excavating and screening a scrap yard in an effort to recover ferrous and non-ferrous material previously lost underground.

While working part time in just one season Don recovered 750 tons of Ferrous and 250 tons of non-ferrous material.

Work in the Demo, Scrap & Recycling Industry?
Save your fingers with silicone rings.
These rings, unlike gold, platinum and other metals are non-conducting and if pulled hard enough will tear apart. After about a year of daily construction gold bands can look like crap as they can become scratched and gouged by a thousand of small encounters. That only increased the other problem with metal wedding bands the fact that they can scratch finish materials-especially paint, polyurethane, glass and polished surfaces. (more…)
Disneyland Cover-ups Construction Site
The backside of Sleeping Beauty Castle is hidden behind a large scrim with a photo that is actually of the castle’s front side. MARK EADES, ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER – STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
