I just love this melting game but todays video took a bit extra to get the final result. Three great bars to add to the stack. I'm getting a bigger place soon so hopefully I can get all my pieces off the floor and onto some bigger shelves👍🏻. Now like I always say have an awesome weekend and I appreciate your continued support👊🏻😁.
While this may seem silly from someone suffering from PTSD you, Ingot, and Bullion are a source of happiness for me. So I thank you for including them in your work. What you do is something I find cathartic in my tough times and I thank you for giving me a place I can come to relax and take a breather. Forever a fan in the USA.
funny man I have severe ptsd as well and the fact asmr is not a word no one seems to care about. I get the whole silent methodical process is cool to watch but ASMR isn't a word. it is not in any dictionary but the urban one people use for dirty jokes.
My favorite ice cooloff is when the copper bar slowly sinks into the ice and the water boils and bubbles off all the scale on top and reveals the nice red copper underneath ❤❤❤ I wish you could make more of those copper bars that got really wrinkly on top. Those are really cool!
Hey bigstackD Casting you may remember me from a video long ago about tin in copper and discussing the materials properties. It is with great joy that I would like to inform you that I am now graduated from the University of North Texas with a bachelors in Materials Science and Engineering. It would be a lie if I said that your videos didn't inspire me, and I'd like to thank you for putting out consistent, satisfying liquidius phase metallurgical content for all these years. I am thrilled that you've grown from such roots as 5k, 10k, and 50k, all the way up to 1.3M. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
I spend the first 30 minutes of work on Friday watching these for the last 3 months lol. You're so close to the 1 tonne mark I'm excited to see what the plan is when you get there
I'll give you a little tip. There is something called phosphorous or chlorine degassing tablets which are blue in color and I don't know the exact composition but when you submerge them into the melt before pouring, the aluminum is refined and all the slag and drose is reduced back to metal aluminum. The slag that remains will look like ordinary dust. So do some searching.
He sure helped me when I started out. Made himself available and answered my questions. Good goin' on this one - the close-up of the copper melting in ice was sweet!
As someone who used to work on used cars that were bought at auctions, painting vehicle components is a very common thing. Makes it look like it has been replaced recently. Some places would also tell you they replaced it and instead just paint it to make it look new. Some very shady people out there.
I'm here because of the socks! And the completely insane tension that quickly rises towards a foreign object (steel barrel) breaking the picture by smashing everything !! beautiful..
I don't know if that is a trustworthy reply to answer back to! I have fallen for fake TH-cam accounts coming across that way in the past! They try to tell you have to pay the shipping then work you over for all they can get!!
I have one of those cores but didn't know what it was. I just found it at the dump and grabbed it because I saw the copper inside. Now I know what to look for to get more. Thanks, and really enjoying these melts. I assume I'll be an expert soon, just like my wife is an expert doctor from the internet.
I was watching a bunch of restoration videos before this, and in my half-brain state I was watching going "Well, this guy certainly is bold with dismantling this, and-- oh god he's ruining it!" Then of course it clicked and suddenly I was very much in destruction catharsis mode ;) Thanks for making another Friday a merry one! Cheers!
Great Job Sir.... As a USA Viewer, that gets me every time... Driving on the wrong side of the road, a backwards Grand Cherokee with the wheel on the wrong side..... I usually watch your work early in the morning, and I'm just waking up.... So I always get the "What am I looking at?" for a second.... Heh heh heh!!!
This channel is awesome. What a great way to show off different melting points too. The copper melting out of the aluminum, the steel looking almost untouched even after aluminum melting. Great work.
The internal rotor (the thing that you threw into the forge that looks like teeth) can be pried open from the center assembly shaft. But it requires a tremendous amount of force.
I’ll keep going I just wanted to have an achievable goal that I could get to over the next year or two. Plus I always wondered what 1000 kg of bars and coins would look like. I’m hoping to get to about 999 kg and then to go over the thousand kilo mark by adding 50 or 60 kg in one video👍🏻
I was just about to go to sleep when I saw that you posted (it's 3:30am where I am), Love your content and I know it's gonna be an amazing melt,as always
Awesome stuff as always I thought least week was off but figured it was my old brain making mistakes 🤣 thank you for sharing and give the boys a treat for me five stars brother
Gets downright hot here in this part of the United States (especially in the state of California). and those ice block smashes hit the spot. Forever a fan in the hot California sun.
Another cool video! I work 7 days a week but your videos give me a reason to look forward to Fridays. I like how different metals "freeze". Copper looks like a dried up river bed and aluminum looks like a bread loaf then it collapses in the center. Looking forward to seeing you hit the TONNE mark.
Awesome tear down, melt, and pour. The bars look great. Congratulations on getting a bigger house soon. You definitely need more and bigger shelves. Love seeing boys. Great video. Can't wait to see what you do next week. Cheers 🍻
My three (actually five) reasons I watch these videos. 1) My potential interest in this hobby. 2) Your boys. They’re even cuter than my Quacken Troop, which is like 10 or 12 ducks strong. 3) The Actual Content 4) BigSNACKd moments 5) After-melt drink. CHEERS! 🍻
Great video! You melted tomething new for a change and there werent a lot of ad interruptions. Loved it! I highly recommend this video for everyone to see
I've been watching your channel for about 2 years now . I've gone through your back content and I haven't seen any proper precious metals like gold or silver and I was wondering if you had any that I could watch. Your channel is calming and funny and I love your dogs have a great week and a great weekend
Hell yeah! It's bigstackD FRIDAY! Best day of the week! Let's melt! Edit: Excellent video! Thanks for taking us with you on your scavenge. The view was incredible! Cheers!
Interesting that it's alternators today. I've been passing an old alternator lying in the carport and thinking about how it'd melt up. Maybe in a few months once things settle down here on the farm I'll get a forge. There's a LOT of misc junk in a farm yard that could get melted.
Thanks for the consistancy Big D, always relaxing me after a stressful week, , heading down to Pembi next week spend some time on the farm with the fam finally get out of the rat race for a bit, , happy weekend m8
Always awesome watching your videos, use to do some melting but foundry seen its days lol, plus was using ole skool methods, but looking to get back into it again!!!!!!! Keep up the great vids! Cant wait til ya get to your mark!!!!
First off, this is Australia! I'm not going in there to get the parts without a shotgun. Secondly, I've changed out quite a few alternators. You were being very kind to them.

Have a great weekend bro congrats on the bigger place!
That’s great news hope the move works out ok.

It's good to find an outlet for that, I'm glad you've found something that works well for you

The ice block birthing those aluminium bars is some of the best footage ever captured in the wild.
& the wire brush finish is class.
That's funny!

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO CONGRATULATIONS DUDE AWESOME

I spend 30 before work on Fridays watching these 👌 can't wait for next week's 👌
Sell all of it like a boss
Go to 2-ton!
Melt the different metals into huge cubes
Melt everything into one large brick
The anticipation on that ice block crush was palpable, followed by uncontrollable laughter when the barrel came crashing down!
I'll give you a little tip. There is something called phosphorous or chlorine degassing tablets which are blue in color and I don't know the exact composition but when you submerge them into the melt before pouring, the aluminum is refined and all the slag and drose is reduced back to metal aluminum. The slag that remains will look like ordinary dust. So do some searching.
Dude sounds like a great way to reprocess the slag he usually saves 👌
Right, i think he has 2 totes of aluminum slag saved up, and it looks like a good bit of metal is still in there!!!!
@@jam2190 it's difficult to remelt drose on its own. It's a laborious process. It's best to do it with each batch of fresh melt.
@@Bluebirdiran ok? I'm not the one with humpteen pounds of it
He sure helped me when I started out. Made himself available and answered my questions. Good goin' on this one - the close-up of the copper melting in ice was sweet!
The fact that he helps people start out is awesome to me. He helped me as well and has answered several questions since then.

Just got my devil forge in today. Still waiting on some molds and casting sand. Can't wait. Thanks for all the videos.
Love you're videos and content. No cussing no fussing just wholesome goodness. Very relaxing when I watch. Can't wait for the next upload.
Whenever this guy's video comes out I never miss to it at any cost
Watching the glow of the furnace at night. Mesmerizing. Do more. With all your friends junk your going to be busy.🇺🇸👍🇦🇺
Lol! You're the only melter out there that can make melting ice a point of interest!😂
This week I've built a charcoal furnace to melt aluminum scrap and it worked very well... Thank you for the inspiration :)
I'm here because of the socks! And the completely insane tension that quickly rises towards a foreign object (steel barrel) breaking the picture by smashing everything !! beautiful..
Bro I just love the way aluminium acts when it starts to melt. Looks like a soft chocolate bar in a hot day, amazing!

He's restoring them down to their base forms! Lol
@@gemstonegynoid7475 - This is actually a great comfort to me xD Thank you.
Wow! Who'da thunk I actually needed this kinda ASMR in my life.....watching stuff being melted is relaxing....am I weird? 🤣
There are many channels on metalworking but your way of representing is the best
Why do I watch your videos on an empty stomach? Your snacks always make me hungrier lol
Great Job Sir....

I am imagining bigstack standing there with an empty beer keg waiting for the ingot to fall out of the ice. That was funny.
Daaamn!!! Sweet camera shots on the ice spin and ice melts with the bars in the same spot complete with a finish, Amazing.
Твои ролики лучше любого антистресса.
Wow! What a great buddy, letting you have all that stuff! 🤗🤗🤗
night time pours look awesome
That metal burns brighter than the sun
This channel is awesome. What a great way to show off different melting points too. The copper melting out of the aluminum, the steel looking almost untouched even after aluminum melting. Great work.
I love a good copper melt. I’d like to see you cast something again soon. I like the videos of things like the Dredd badge and such.
I love the postscript with The Boys and that little aluminium fragment. I remembered it.
Well, that's ONE way to get copper out of something like an Alternator!! 😃SO Cool!! 😃 Great job as usual, BigstackD!! 😃
Watching Smokey and the Bandit. Nice.
Always love the mirrored bars but the brushed look is honestly my fave. Also, only 151 pounds to go - gotta melt 'em all! 😁
Every time you cook my stomach growls like it's been starving for a week
BigStack knows how to bust out the BigSnack.
Best side view ice melt yet! I think somebody upgraded their cameras!! Cheers!
The internal rotor (the thing that you threw into the forge that looks like teeth) can be pried open from the center assembly shaft. But it requires a tremendous amount of force.
Okay good to know mate👍🏻
@@bigstackD Good luck, sir! I enjoy your videos. What are you going to do when you reach 1 ton?
I’ll keep going I just wanted to have an achievable goal that I could get to over the next year or two. Plus I always wondered what 1000 kg of bars and coins would look like. I’m hoping to get to about 999 kg and then to go over the thousand kilo mark by adding 50 or 60 kg in one video👍🏻
@@bigstackD I believe in you!
@@bigstackD I constantly worry that your shelf or foundation will break from all that weight!
I absolutely love watching you melt things! The boys sure looked eager for their walk! 💙
I must say. The throwing heavy stuff on the ice and metals thing just don't get old lol.
I was just about to go to sleep when I saw that you posted (it's 3:30am where I am), Love your content and I know it's gonna be an amazing melt,as always
When you started with ‘my steel scrapping friend’ I got excited think I would get to see him melt some steel.
Awesome stuff as always I thought least week was off but figured it was my old brain making mistakes 🤣 thank you for sharing and give the boys a treat for me five stars brother
Okay, this was hilarious to me. Exactly when you said the sun was back out, it started pouring rain here. 🤣
Gets downright hot here in this part of the United States (especially in the state of California). and those ice block smashes hit the spot. Forever a fan in the hot California sun.
Another fantastic melt. I would love to see you make some more German silver or aluminum bronze.
I love the way a bit of tomato and lettuce make a cheeseburger seem a healthy option ... very reassuring.
love your vid man great job.. oh and dont forget to keep watch those ninja10mm socket xD
Another cool video! I work 7 days a week but your videos give me a reason to look forward to Fridays. I like how different metals "freeze". Copper looks like a dried up river bed and aluminum looks like a bread loaf then it collapses in the center.

Awesome tear down, melt, and pour. The bars look great. Congratulations on getting a bigger house soon. You definitely need more and bigger shelves. Love seeing boys. Great video. Can't wait to see what you do next week. Cheers 🍻
Bigger " House"...?
When you're smelting, do the neighbor kids want to come over and watch? When I was a kid I wold have tried to watch for hours. Cool stuff man!
Cheers big ears from here in Canada! Have a great weekend bigstackD! Say hello to bullion and Ingot! 🇨🇦❤️
My three (actually five) reasons I watch these videos.
1) My potential interest in this hobby.
2) Your boys. They’re even cuter than my Quacken Troop, which is like 10 or 12 ducks strong.
3) The Actual Content
4) BigSNACKd moments
5) After-melt drink. CHEERS! 🍻
Great video! You melted tomething new for a change and there werent a lot of ad interruptions. Loved it! I highly recommend this video for everyone to see
I love your little grill. Perfect for a shop
5:48 confirmed 👌 authentic bigstackD confirmed
Awesome as usual dude! Ive been waiting up for your posts lately and I love that you include the pups too :)
I play the T2 theme in my head when I see aluminum being poured 😄 just me?
I've been watching your channel for about 2 years now . I've gone through your back content and I haven't seen any proper precious metals like gold or silver and I was wondering if you had any that I could watch.

Hell yeah! It's bigstackD FRIDAY! Best day of the week! Let's melt!
Edit: Excellent video! Thanks for taking us with you on your scavenge. The view was incredible!
Cheers!
My boyfriend ist watching you… all the time… because of your Dogs… he loves them
18:03 can we agree that’s the best sound ever and 20:13
21:06
21:40 The sound of that metal hitting the water 🤌
Love the melt. Enjoy every new video on Fridays. 👍 Keep it up. Cheers
Great video as always. I can relate to Ingot taking slow walks.
Cheers Mate! Love when the keg crashes down.
Should make another Nordic gold video😵💫😵💫 I love the way you calculate everything 😭🔥
That was a great freeze shot of the explosion.
So what happens when you hit your target goal??? The final shot of all the metals is priceless!!!!
Love watching your channel. Makes for a nice relaxing Friday morning before work event for the last day of the week
Thank you for another great video ….. have a tremendous weekend!
Hey I really do love the videos and they are very satisfying
💥 now that was a lucky frame good catch 👌😁
Great metal cast .. as always. Just a bit creepy on min 24:32 🤣
Gotcha, let the ad's play! Can do, thanks for posting!
That spinning shot was neat
I really enjoy watching your work its so satisfying and love seeing your lovely dogs 🐕 best wishes john south Wales uk 🏴🏴

I FINALLY GOT TO SEE HIS STEEL RECYCLING FRIEND'S HOUSE 🥰
U r the absolutely the most funny guy I ever seen. Your vids are hilarious! Love this shit
Thanks for the consistancy Big D, always relaxing me after a stressful week, , heading down to Pembi next week spend some time on the farm with the fam finally get out of the rat race for a bit, , happy weekend m8
This is why I melt it's so zen and I can take my frustrations out on what I'm about to melt. It's my therapy. Abide.
FINALLY, he gets the unmarked can out of the fridge. that can is the first thing i see every time he opens that fridge
Great video thanks again love the dogs my boy is always hanging in the yard while I melt in the garage
Happy you're including our PHP (Philippine) Currency on you notebook !
Always awesome watching your videos, use to do some melting but foundry seen its days lol, plus was using ole skool methods, but looking to get back into it again!!!!!!! Keep up the great vids! Cant wait til ya get to your mark!!!!
Man he is so close to the goal! Also cant wait to see the weed eater melt.
First off, this is Australia! I'm not going in there to get the parts without a shotgun. Secondly, I've changed out quite a few alternators. You were being very kind to them.
9:40 this is best casting ever😂
Hey sir your work is to meltdown not to break down 😜
my favorite part has to be the socks cant wait to see what you have on next time.
Love the ice breaker this week lol I did not see that coming lol
loved the mask showing at the door around the 27 minute counter
HAHAHA!! The ice block gave birth to the aluminum ingot. HAHAHA! That looked funny! Made me laugh!
i love the side angle ice melt view
Amazing video friend.
Getting closer to the goal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Big hug 🖐🏻💪🏻
Awesome melt always makes my Friday when you publish a new video
I've got to say I am all kinds of peanut butter and jealous of your friends view
Buen trabajo como siempre. Saludos.
