A second person has approached me to go together with them on making a
copper shredder. This would amount to building a machine to cut the
pieces of wire into short pieces, and strip all insulation.

Has anyone had any experience with doing this? Links to helpful
diagrams or information?

Some of these people will strip live power lines for the copper.

Sounds like a quick trip into the arms af a diffrent copper to me B-)

An english guy I used to know had a guy at his local pub who tried to steal
copper from a decommissioned power station. Unfortunately the cable was
still live (back fed from the network). The guy had substantial burns and
was known as "Crispy Dave". A very lucky guy.
