Hello there.
My name is Kim.
I work as an electrician, but on the side, I scrap anything that contains copper, brass and aluminum, and then melt some of it.
Follow along and see if I can improve with different furnaces, casting molds, and sand.
I'm excited and hope you find it fun as well.

Thick copper wire goes from trash to treasure - melting copper into ingots
Hey guys.
Today I'm melting some copper I got on a construction site I went to for 14 days in August.
I thought it might be fun to make a commemorative ingot.
I'm probably going to remelt this ingot because it's really ugly and it's hard to read what I've written on it.
At the same time, I think that in future I will make a commemorative ingot from the construction sites or work places I have been.
In today's video there are also a few aluminum ingots, they are from a smelting I did the day before, from all the slag I have had from previous smelting.

Drying rack cook down - Ingot and skull - Trash to treasure
มุมมอง 40514 วันที่ผ่านมา
Hey guys. Today I take two not quite identical drying racks and boil them down to each an ingot and a skull. Funny that there is almost the same amount of aluminum in both, even though one is partly made of iron. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a fantastic day #aluminum #ingot #vevor #vevorfoundry #trashtotreasure #dit #scrapmetalrecycling #metalwork #scrapping #brass #copper

Alu ingot made from motors - Is it worth it - From trash to treasure
มุมมอง 589หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey guys. Today I am scrapping 60 small aluminum motors for aluminum. I choose to melt half to see how much pure aluminum comes out of it. Is it worth it or is it a waste of time. I myself estimate that for the future I will throw small aluminum motors in the iron scrap pile.

4 kg brass ingot from fuse holder - From trash to treasure
มุมมอง 608หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey guys. Today I'm taking apart some fuse holders for brass. They come from an old electrical panel I tore replaced last year. I have to say I was surprised at how much brass they were made of. Not only was I able to make a huge ingot, I was also able to try out my new mini molds and made a few hearts and skulls. #brass #copper #ingot #trashtotreasure #electric #vevor #vevorfoundry #scrapmetal...
How much alu is there in 10 ft bus-bus. making alu and copper ingots.
มุมมอง 1.1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Hey guys.. I have brought home a 3 meter long bus bar because my colleagues want to know how much aluminum is in it. I keep the sandwich and melt it. It melted quickly today because I got more air for my furnace, so I'm also trying to melt some copper. Before, I used about 75 - 90 minutes to melt 1.5 kg of copper. Today it took 35 min to melt 1.4 kg. #copper #brass #aluminum #ingot #diy #recycl...

Apple iMac meltdown - ASMR metal melting - Unpacking - Trash to Treasure.

In today's video I melt the aluminum shell and foot from 3 Apple iMacs. It took me almost 1 hour to cut the aluminum from the shell so it was ready to be melted. An angle grinder would probably be the right tool, it just makes such a mess. I also use a new mold. I bought one that fits my crucible otherwise I would have to use the small molds I have and then make about 40 small ingots. I hope yo...
Brass ingots made from olds brass connectors - From trash to treasure
มุมมอง 6K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey guys. Today I'm melting my collection of spade connectors or flat plugs. The finished result was very nice, although I was a little skeptical when I pulled the ingots out of the water after cooling, It wasn't a very nice color they had got. #brass #copper #recycling #scrap #scrapmetal #aluminum #electric #scrapping #electricmotor #diy #ingot #trashtotreasure
Twin ingots made of copper from Hedge trimmers - from trash to treasure
มุมมอง 1.5K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey guys. Today I scrap 11 hedge trimmers with copper motors and turn them into 2 beautiful ingots for my collection. Notice how much weight from the copper disappears after melting. You don't think about the fact that the copper is lacquered or painted and that it also weighs a little and that this evaporates and disappears during melting. #copper #ingot #recycling #scrap #scrapmetal #aluminum...
Trash to Treasure - Making golden ingots from brass plugs
มุมมอง 1.5K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
I have received about 40 CEE plugs, which had to be thrown away because they are missing screws, so you cannot mount the wires to the plugs. Lucky for me, because then I could make a few nice ingots. The melting time was approx. 40 min for 2 kg of brass #brass #copper #aluminum #scrap #scrapmetal #scrapping #trashtotreasure #diy #recycling #ingot #forge #casting
Trash to Treasure - Making Lead Ingots from AC cable

I found some cable behind a container, it turned out to be lead armored cable. I thought it might be fun to make a few ingots of this lead and see how heavy they turned out. I know I mentioned in the last video that I wanted to try to melt some aluminum foil, but I simply can't find a box with it. #copper #alumium #brass #lead #scrap #scrapmetal #scrapping #trashtotreasure #diy #recycling #elec...

Trash to treasure - Making my first ingot from scrap copper
มุมมอง 8283 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey guys. Now I finally got to test my new melting furnace. It's a Vevor bought through Amazon. It's actually been almost 14 days since I received it. But I have had to buy cement for the inside of the furnace, as this was not included. I also had to buy another gas regulator as the one that came with it did not fit Danish gas cylinders. It wasn't 100% successful, but I got one ingot made and i...

Where did the silver buttons go?
I collect copper with silver buttons on it for later separation, separately in a jar
Great video my friend new subscriber today
Thanks for the support. I'll subscribe right back
is it really worth the time to slowly rip apart a microwave for that little bits of scraps??
The simple answer is, No
For a hobby scrapper, I would say Yes. But if that's your day job, I'd say no.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍
"It's not easy to separate it from the base." I'm guessing he forgot to add, "If you don't have a large hammer." 😄
Those trinkets you poured turned out great. I don't usually see brass pours that look that good.
Nice brassy goodness
Buena fundida🔥😉
Nice job well done
Nice video nice ingot keep it up like your videos

Great video , nice stack you got there 👍
So you've got €15 -€20 there? Do you think it was worth it?
Hey there. I think if I was doing this for the money, then the answer is, No. But this is just for fun and entertainment and of course stacking some ingots
Pozdrawiam serdecznie 👍👍👍
Those connectors are tinned and tin is $20lb
If you'd like to make more off your copper, please stop selling it to scrap yards.... especially BB. Great video.
How much is brass per kg as at now,
Who are the right people to sell it for
Really neat to see the process!
water damge easy reapier, you have lost probly 1500$
at $1.50 per kg for premium aluminium, I'd say you made a big loss...giving all your money to the energy company
Just bring the computer frames to the scrap yard directly.
Did you learn to put cardboard on the bottom from BigStackD? Lol. If not, we'll you n he think alike. Or maybe he got it from you. Lol😅
Most of what I know about melting metals I learned from BigStackD, He is also the one who inspired me to make videos. But for the last 20 years I have worked with copper and other scrap metal
Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇵🇱👍👍👍
Thanks mate. Greetings back from Denmark
You should try adding borax as a flux in the molten state.
Nice you just scored yourself 6$ Hope it took you 15 mins. Otherwise I'd say your labor is pretty cheap. hahhaa
Yes I know it. But as a hobby and you have the choice between making no money or a little bit of money. I've scrapped a lot of things that didn't pay off, but I just wanted the copper
@@UrbanCopperHunter Yeah i'm just messing the value of having an ingot on hand is priceless, keep up the great work and content!❤
I subscribed yesterday and just finished watching all of your videos. Keep them coming!
Hi Matt. Thanks for subscribing and watching. I'm glad you like my videos. Best regards Kim Urban copper hunter
Its rare to see a magnetron core scrapped.
I scrap out all of them.

Please, invest in some proper footwear.
I'll remember that for next time

I'm not sure what Pc means
That's a very good point with the aluminium!
