Well it's finally here guys the big one. I have a lot of metal added to the stack today as you would already be aware. A feature length vid today sorry about that and so good luck getting through the whole thing. It just dawned on me I haven't done a giveaway for awhile so that will be coming up very soon but I'll probably keep it out of the title as thats when the scammers swope in to the comment section so be sure you don't miss the next few videos👊🏻😁. Now sit back relax and enjoy today's extra extra long video and I hope to see all you beautiful people next Friday. Sorry about the Aussie accent as that's what we sound like down here👍🏻.
HOLY COW - WE GOT TO HEAR BIGSTACKD'S VOICE!!! (Edit: for those who want to skip ahead, he begins speaking at 1:30:52) That was such a great way to close out this super-special video. So happy that you reached your goal. Now, on to the next!!
Uummm... what do you expect? He has an Australian flag in his garage... he snacks on mini-octopus... and he patronizes Hungry Jack!! Of course he's an Aussie!
That was truly awesome Big D! And we got to hear the voice behind the legend! Looking forward to the new target, and then following you on the journey to reach the new target! It truly is a pleasure watching your videos each week. For me its good therapy! stay awesome dude. Have an awesome weekend! Looks like Kurtis misses out this week hahaha I had to put the extra for this epic milestone!
I want to say thanks for keeping on doing these videos for years! Watching you working on these melts and castings has been and still is a great therapy. Congrats for reaching your goal!
Hey bud I noticed a major safety issue in this video and just thought I'd bring it to your attention. Safety first and all ya know. I'd hate to see someone get hurt without saying something. Brother, you drove on the wrong side of the road on what looked like that whole trip to the boneyard. Just a side note, I think you got a defective car from the dealership too. They put the steering wheel on the wrong side!! I hope I said something in time. But ya, great vid other than that brother from down under. 😂
Only BigStackD would have a subtitle saying he'll do more after achieving this!! Also, I fully respect celebrating this momentous day by letting us hear your voice. Goo on ya!
As a Canadian I feel an odd pride in how hard that old piece of kit fought to stay together. My sympathies to your bricks, sledgehammer, hand cart, curb, that crucible, and also your target weight for all getting crushed today.
The motor was from where I'm from, was in service longer than any of us have been alive, and won a brawl with a sledgehammer during it's retirement party. Also, both Australia and Canada are commonwealth nations, which means we're required to mildly annoy each other whenever possible. That bit of metal upheld our traditions well.@@helmutsecke3529
@jasongram1287 yeah it’s English not Canadian,“ made in Bristol, England by Newman industry’s limited here’s the proof here : 4:08 ” if your going off of the metal placard on the engine! Though I have to say it did put up a good fight throughout the video 😂
Reminds me of the time we cleared out the copper from a very small power station near us that had been closed for 5 years. They had 2x 100megawatt generators, + all the switching yard. We got 2 buzz bars that weighed 800kg each. 180 feet of 4 inch diameter 4 core wire. Plus a lot lot more. We got 13.5 tons of copper. I had a 50kg furnace, all the handling equipment was 2 man of course. But it still took us a month to melt it all. I'm ashamed to admit that we nicked it all. But I was pretty crazy until I got to 31, and a judge shoved a 10 stretch up my arse. Now I try to give back to my community in every way I can. I don't know why I love this channel, but I do. Keep up the good work.❤️ 🇦🇺 from🇬🇧. 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini, HEROIAM SLAVI !!!
Well done! Your journey has been inspirational, I'm pleased to have come along with you on it. Best of luck on the future of the channel-- if you keep making 'em, I'll keep watching 'em!
No worries at all buddy I will continue to upload as usual and pump up the target weight for sure. Cheers for that super thanks I appreciate it mate that’ll go towards a few beers and some dog treats 👊🏻😁 have a great week and see you on Friday.
The Man, The Myth, The Legend and The Voice. Genuinely smiled like a mad man when we heard you. An epic achievement and bloody well done. Here’s to the next goal
I was surprised to see you fly away at the end and even more surprised when you talked! Thanks for all the soothing melts over the years. A good time had by all!
Since that engine was 80+ years old, imagine the journey that copper has made. It was likely shipped to England from Canada as part of the war effort - likely as large ingots. In England it was made into an engine that was then shipped all the way to Australia to be later turned back into ingots again!
Finally we hear you speak to us 😀I can't remember when I joined in on your melting journey, but I got hooked right away! Congrats on all your achievements, mate! Cheers from Good Ol' Germany!
When I heard you speak I thought some other video had started in the back ground then I hear that distinct Aussie accent and knew it was you. Great result, great achievement and wonderful surprise at the end. Thank you.
I was quite taken aback by the voiceover at the end. You've always been this ethereal being in my mind, melting metal and consuming various meat products. To hear a voice was a shock, but a welcome one! Well done on achieving the goal mate! Been a long time coming!
What an amazing finale! I think I joined in around the 500 Kg mark, but dip into the old videos from time to time. This was so utterly cathartic. That voice reveal (nice pipes, by the way!), the drone footage, and a just absolute BEAST of a teardown. It's been a pleasure to watch the channel, your videography and your home grow over the years. Glad to see Ingot is on the mend, and the wife and I are eagerly looking forward to all the many milestones to come. Thank you for having us along. :)
Target achieved and a voice reveal? Am I dreaming? What a great video. Your dismantling segments to salvage the meltables always look difficult, but man this one looked like a real workout. It was worth it for a milestone video like this though. On to the next mountain top...a mountain of sweet pure copper...mmm...copper.
I am a propane delivery and service guy, the best way I know to prevent tanks from freezing is to put 2 or 3 tanks together, so you draw your propane from all at once and propane has more time to boil inside the tank and not lower it's temperature to point of ambient humidity freezing
I’ve got to say this is amazing! I’m so happy you finally surpassed the one tonne goal! 🎉 that motor must’ve been tough to crack into, but the result was worth it. Congrats again for achieving the milestone! 🙂
BigStackD, you are my hero, seriously. You deserve thousands and thousands of likes. Super hard work, so much effort put into transforming old and “retired” equipment into something that people can still use. I love your creativity, your constant sense of humor and your tenacity, I wish you all the best. I look forward to your videos every time. Congrats on achieving your long-awaited record! 🤘 P.S. And I wish a good health to little Ingot, sent hugs and kisses to him.
I have done a lot of this in the USA. I don’t think people understand how much work it is. I have since learned to limit my to copper wire. I have been an electrician for over 55 years,too old to tackle a large motor, but I really appreciate your work. I think I’ll stick with the wire and leave the motors to the kids. Good luck and god bless AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND!
It’s been a while since I’ve started watching and waiting every week to see how much closer the weight got to the goal, and seeing the 110% overhaul got me a little choked up. I was far more surprised and excited to finally hear your voice after 3 years (maybe longer) of only seeing your words, hands, and humor. That sent me over and a single (manly) tear crawled out in tribute of your majestic voice and the equally majestic view you brought to us. You are a beautiful soul and I thank you for your continued courage and commitment through these years.
Me too, i have french car and that "good" yes it work good but that not japanese car 😂😂😂, never buy french car from stelantis with 1.2l petrol engine, NEVER or new vertion after 2024, never buy blue-hdi engine, today the best is electric car... better fiability... yes some new car with 1.2 puretech engine was dead after 20.000 km, like 7000 miles 😂😂😂😂, engine blow, and repair with your cash 😂😂😂
Hunde sind einfach die besseren Menschen! Seit meinem 5 Lebensjahr habe ich Hunde, aktuell einen Malamut einen Polarwolf Hybriden und einen Rottweiler. In den 55 Jahren in denen ich Hunde habe, hat mich noch nie ein Hund belogen, betrogen oder im Stich gelassen! Aber die Menschen die all das gemacht haben, kann ich nicht mehr alle zählen! Danke fürs Video.
I honestly don't know what to do with myself now that the target has been achieved 😅 very pleased that I was able to come on this journey though. Much love everyone ❤
Been watching every week (haven’t missed one) for over 3 years. Truly happy for this dude, such an awesome journey, great to hear his voice and see the target achieved! Can’t wait to see what is next!
I'm the subscriber (diff name then) who left comments at your request for video suggestions for you to do the biggest melt on YT. Well, you finally did it!!!!! Awesome!! CONGRATS ON YOUR REACHING YOUR GOAL!
A quick tip, if you cut off the copper “head” on one side, you can after heating it up like you did pull the copper out with a pulley. And pls don't hit the bearings with a hammer so hard, if they break, they break like a little explosion and shooting itself as shrapnel everywhere. I work with those motors all the time, and we do it like this when we disassemble motors. Btw, love your videos, keep up the good stuff
A tip from someone who does this on a daily basis. First cut off one end of the fuel coil (out side part of the motor) before burning. That way you just take pliers and pull the copper out from the end that wasn't cut. The armature (inside part) you have to cut both ends off (flush to the metal) then use a piece of flat bar to hammer the copper bars out. If you strip down enough of that size motors you will soon be doing it in less than a hour and a half
Watching your videos is always a treat and is always a nice highlight to the week. Congrats on hitting the goal and the voice reveal was shocking! Made me turn back and listen to it again.
I distinctly remember watching when you hit exactly 50% of your target. I am so very glad I was here to see that target reached! Thank you for brightening my Fridays for the past few years. Keep up the great work.
No flippin way! Haven't caught a melt video in many many moons and am very glad to have caught this one. One tonne achieved here, we get to hear your voice, and somewhere in the relatively recent past you upgraded from garage to workshop. Thank you for the upload
Hey Brother, Rev. Paul, Eustis Florida. New subscriber, I’m 71 yr old Minister bed ridden hallelujah & amen just viewed your first video (new to me) scrapping out the organ was cool too. So keep them coming bro, not a bunch of talking just lights, camera, action that’s cool and very rare. !!!
Hello Reverend 😊 I’m Kay from Detroit and I’ve been a subscriber of Mr. Bigstackd for a few years now. I definitely encourage you to watch his other many vids, especially the giant motor breakdowns.. those are just epic lol.. Just was led to say a personal hello from the 313 and God Bless. 🤓🌺
A beautiful achievement! Grateful to you for taking us on this journey with you. It’s both sad and exciting to see you reach this goal. Can’t wait to see what’s next! Cheers, mate!!
HEY BUDDY , I BEEN INCOGNITO FOR A FEW YEARS NOW , FINALLY REACHED RETIREMENT LOL, FIXING TO START BACK UP !!! YOU INSPIRED ME TO DO THE SAME IN South Carolina and Im glad to see you still doing VIDEOS on TH-cam lol !!!
What a payoff ! I've been waiting years for this, and you deliver an hour and a half long video for the "1 tonne" target. What a great way to start my weekend. Thank you
Yay, I totally loved this episode. Loved hearing your dulcet tones. The pours were mesmerising, and I was chuckling at the dogs. You rock Bigstackd. Don't stop what you're doing as you clearly love it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello D...first and foremost a BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!! for reaching the goal you set for yourself. I waited to watch this one until I knew I could give it my complete attention. When you said the motor was 87 years old I knew you would have some difficulty because things built that long ago were built to last. There sure was a lot of copper in it. Your voice sounded very relaxing to me. There's no reason to apologize just because you have an accent. Besides, it wasn't very heavy if you ask me. At one point you said you don't manage your time well. I beg to differ. On the contrary, I can't believe how much you accomplish from week to week. Not only did you move, you built an entire shed rather quickly and transferred all of your coins and ingots etc...some people didn't even realize you moved. You work a full time job, have a wife and children plus the two dogs and still manage to get a new video recorded and edited to post every single Friday without fail. Anyways, thanks also for all the laughs over the years. I plan to continue to watch each and every week for as long as you continue to put out content. I hope you had a nice weekend and I also hope you're having an awesome week. 💙✌️
Thanks for sharing your hobby. It’s been a long journey but it definitely doesn’t feel long! I have looked forward to Friday’s videos for 3 years. And I look forward to many more.
Congratulations on blowing past your target! Nice to hear your voice again 🙂 I remember you spoke in some of your very 1st posts! I realized why I enjoy watching you tear stuff down/apart (despite not thinking I'd have any interest in it) it's like going along on a treasure hunt & damn that motor was the mother lode for copper! Glad to hear reaching the 1 ton goal doesn't mean the end of the road, there's still lots of melting to be done & i reckon I'm not going anywhere either since you're 1 of my favorite TH-camrs! 👍
This was an incredible video. It was like a movie of pure enjoyment. And of course FINALLY THE TARGET IS MET! YAAAS!! When I woke up and saw the title, my jaw dropped and I got so excited! Truly phenomenal video, and I am sure it was a tiresome journey to work on all that melting. Great job man! Also, a true honor to hear your voice for the first time at the end. I hope Ingot's eye is doing better and that you and family are doing well. Bless you sir for the awesome content. Can't wait to continue following this journey.
You can cut off one side of the copper wire then pull the rest out from the other side. real easy that way. I also put dawn dish-soap in my water to cool and clean them off .
Well this was an awesome journey! I remember when there was no mention of a stack and the subs were below 20K. You have inspired many to get into metal casting including me. This great hobby means a lot to me and has taught me many new things and I have learned a lot of new skills, and not to mention the awesome people I have found and met trough TH-cam. It's great to hear your voice again after all these years, hope you talk to us again in future videos, THANKS Dion!!! 👍👊
Congrats on achieving your goal man, hope to see you continue doing more awesome melts in the future. Cheers mate, and here's to many more in the future
the Indonesian couple who moved in next door : "I just love living here, everyone is so nice and cheerful. Even the scary biker guy next goes out of his way to reproduce the smells of home cooking, beer and circuit varnish. We are home!!"
Congratulations! It's got to feel like quite the achievement to reach this milestone. You've earned all of the accolades here in the comments and more, and I hope you're still getting as much joy out of creating these as we are watching them.
I sure hope Ingot's eye gets better I sure have been keeping him in my thoughts and prayers . bigstackD . Your dogs sure are a special part of your videos . So awesome that you hit the Target 🎯 weight and that you will be back . You are the # melting and casting channel on TH-cam Hands Down .!👍👍
18:45 the very reason I never buy hitting tools with anything other than a wooden handle. I can fix them. Those fiberglass ones break easily, and are harder or impossible to fix when they do.
Congratulations on reaching the 1 ton goal! wonderful feature length video. I am always fascinated by the sight of the solidifying copper! looks like a time-lapse shot of freezing water. It was especially nice to be able to hear your voice at the end. You seem to have created a little men's paradise in this place... I envy everyone who gets to live in Australia! Best, warm-hearted greetings from Germany! I'm looking forward to the next videos. Keep it up!😊
Very sad to see the motor go but at the same time im very happy to finally see the goal was reached Love these vids as they definitly help pass the time when everything is really slow and it definitly helps work on a few castings at home Also on a side note im wondering if youll get into lost wax casting for some high definition unique castings? Id really like to see how a few metals work in it as ive mainly only seen aluminium but bronze and even steel can be used in it
Yes mate as soon as I can get on top of stuff over here at the property and my work I would love to start getting into a lot more lost wax casting and lost PLA casting and use my kiln a hell of a lot more 👍🏻
THANK YOU BigStackD! You do us such an amazing thing providing us with your videos, your community appreciates you and it was such a nice touch at the end we’ve all been waiting for that!😂❤
What a journey its been and im more then happy to be able to have been a part of it and watch your work and hobby grow so much threw out the years. Im exited to see what the next chapter and goal will be in the years to come mate.
It’s been an epic journey mate and Iv loved every minute of it Was emotional to hear you speak at the end Now on to the next leg of the journey Nice one 👍🏻
Big Stack D! Thank you for making such wonderful content. I always enjoy it but rarely comment. You'll have better luck with your bricks if the hollow spaces are not horizontal to the ground. They are designed to handle weight with the hallow spaces vertical, facing up and down, perpendicular to the ground. Dig it.
EEP! So excited to watch, and so glad I'm still awake to watch the brand new video! ❤😊 Edit 1: I'm only 16 minutes in, but watching this makes me so ridiculously happy I can't even explain it! 😍
It's been a long journey. I remember when you started making videos. You've come a long way since the pouring lead into a silicon mold video. I've been invested, waiting for this day to come. It's been amazing. A literal tonne of good content. I can't wait to see what comes next. Thank you for the adventure thus far. Cheer mate. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great job, Bud!!! Congrats on your goal. Actually, watched this end to end. Don't know how your videos do it, but it is very rare for me to skip through them. Glad to see Ingot clearing up. He still looks worn-out, poor guy. Hope he heals up quickly. Thank you for the great videos, keep it up.
Fun to hear your voice for the first time since I've started watching. I really like these videos, just watching you take things apart and recycle them back to their origins. Seeing those ingots and coins and other fun things get created is very enjoyable. Happy to see you hit your goal too, hope to see it double! Always looking forward to a new video from you.
Man, I remember when I first found you when you were around 150k subs and now you have nearly 10x that! It's been an incredible journey man! I look forward to each and every one of your videos each Friday! Congrats on reaching your goal and can't wait to see the new goal! Keep up the incredible work that you do!
This was one well built motor. I bet you that if it was cleaned out someone could have gotten that working again too. I know it's a cliché to say "things aren't built like the used to be", but I'm pretty sure that this is proof of that haha! Nice job mate, great work on this one!
@@dom2661it might be built to last but it's efficiency is probably significantly lower than modern day ones. Then again in an apocalypse durability will value more than efficiency
I had a giggle watching that motor get heaved around on those tiny casters @ 2:50 ish 😅😂 especially after it’s just been handled by a forklift and a crane truck
I’m kind of speechless here, what with all the incredible things you’ve done. You’re a high achiever and we’re all proud of the journey you’ve had so far.
1:30:50 glad to hear you again. 😅 So glad that you made your target. I've been watching for quite a few years and you have grown so much. So proud of you. Keep up the good work 💙🐝💙
Well it's finally here guys the big one. I have a lot of metal added to the stack today as you would already be aware. A feature length vid today sorry about that and so good luck getting through the whole thing.

Bro keep making videos like these, there fucking good.
Are you going to keep on makiing more videos ore is this the end
Bravo sir. Love me some Friday's on TH-cam.
Been waiting impatiently for this one! Can't wait to see what the next milestone is going to be.
It's 4:00 in the morning where I am and I stayed up for this. So far it looks like it's worth it I can't believe how massive this motor is!
HOLY COW - WE GOT TO HEAR BIGSTACKD'S VOICE!!! (Edit: for those who want to skip ahead, he begins speaking at 1:30:52) That was such a great way to close out this super-special video. So happy that you reached your goal. Now, on to the next!!
He has a great voice!
I was surprised when I heard him talk been watching his videos for almost a year couple months shy from a year lol
I also got surprised after he stopped talking then the camera started flying 😮
Gave me such a start, that. Well worth the journey, though..
❤
He reaches the target and we got the reward of a voiced thanks? That was so heartfelt as always BigStackD!
No drama no sound effects no talk. Worth watching. Thanks.
except for once he actually did speak at the end LOL
While it was a bit of a surprise to hear his voice, I think the biggest reveal that no one is discussing is that BigstackD can fly.
Holy cow, he got me too for a whole couple of seconds! I think it was the surprise to ear him speaking so, 2 impossible things one after the other!
Now the debate on "how does he take those air drift camera shots?" Is resolved
And Australian! 😳
Uummm... what do you expect? He has an Australian flag in his garage... he snacks on mini-octopus... and he patronizes Hungry Jack!! Of course he's an Aussie!

Looks like Kurtis misses out this week hahaha I had to put the extra for this epic milestone!
Not the first time I’ve heard his voice in a video, but yes, cheers all around!
If you go to his much earlier videos Big D actually talks a lot
And I do believe he even shows his face once😮
🎉 it was amazing to hear his voice
I want to say thanks for keeping on doing these videos for years! Watching you working on these melts and castings has been and still is a great therapy. Congrats for reaching your goal!

That sent me over and a single (manly) tear crawled out in tribute of your majestic voice and the equally majestic view you brought to us.
You are a beautiful soul and I thank you for your continued courage and commitment through these years.
After 87 years the engines bolts and screws are better than todays Brand new french cars
Do you have a french car ever?
@@chrise.2495 yeah
Theyre all terrible constructed
Me too, i have french car and that "good" yes it work good but that not japanese car 😂😂😂, never buy french car from stelantis with 1.2l petrol engine, NEVER or new vertion after 2024, never buy blue-hdi engine, today the best is electric car... better fiability... yes some new car with 1.2 puretech engine was dead after 20.000 km, like 7000 miles 😂😂😂😂, engine blow, and repair with your cash 😂😂😂
Hunde sind einfach die besseren Menschen!
Seit meinem 5 Lebensjahr habe ich Hunde, aktuell einen Malamut einen Polarwolf Hybriden und einen Rottweiler.
In den 55 Jahren in denen ich Hunde habe, hat mich noch nie ein Hund belogen, betrogen oder im Stich gelassen! Aber die Menschen die all das gemacht haben, kann ich nicht mehr alle zählen!
Danke fürs Video.
I honestly don't know what to do with myself now that the target has been achieved 😅 very pleased that I was able to come on this journey though. Much love everyone ❤
Now he's reached his goal the new goal should be 1000kg of each metal.
Fins a woman
We did it boys! ONE METRIC TONNE!
Melt the Planet!
Been watching every week (haven’t missed one) for over 3 years. Truly happy for this dude, such an awesome journey, great to hear his voice and see the target achieved! Can’t wait to see what is next!
Thanks!
No problem Buddy , cheers for the super thanks mate I really appreciate it buddy. Have an awesome week👊🏻😁
Always a great friday on YT, first CEE then BigstackD, and an extra long video today to boot!
I have the same routine!😂😂😂😂😂
Who is cee
@@benloyd1970 Cutting Edge Engineering
CEE?
Cutting Edge Engineering is CEE , It’s my mates channel over east👌🏻😁
I'm the subscriber (diff name then) who left comments at your request for video suggestions for you to do the biggest melt on YT. Well, you finally did it!!!!! Awesome!!
CONGRATS ON YOUR REACHING YOUR GOAL!
A quick tip, if you cut off the copper “head” on one side, you can after heating it up like you did pull the copper out with a pulley. And pls don't hit the bearings with a hammer so hard, if they break, they break like a little explosion and shooting itself as shrapnel everywhere. I work with those motors all the time, and we do it like this when we disassemble motors. Btw, love your videos, keep up the good stuff
@@snailforce ya hardened metal doesn't take too kindly to being smacked with nearly equally hard metal. Bad things can happen. Lol
A tip from someone who does this on a daily basis. First cut off one end of the fuel coil (out side part of the motor) before burning. That way you just take pliers and pull the copper out from the end that wasn't cut. The armature (inside part) you have to cut both ends off (flush to the metal) then use a piece of flat bar to hammer the copper bars out. If you strip down enough of that size motors you will soon be doing it in less than a hour and a half
Watching your videos is always a treat and is always a nice highlight to the week. Congrats on hitting the goal and the voice reveal was shocking! Made me turn back and listen to it again.
I distinctly remember watching when you hit exactly 50% of your target. I am so very glad I was here to see that target reached! Thank you for brightening my Fridays for the past few years. Keep up the great work.
No flippin way! Haven't caught a melt video in many many moons and am very glad to have caught this one. One tonne achieved here, we get to hear your voice, and somewhere in the relatively recent past you upgraded from garage to workshop. Thank you for the upload
Hey Brother, Rev. Paul, Eustis Florida. New subscriber, I’m 71 yr old Minister bed ridden hallelujah & amen just viewed your first video (new to me) scrapping out the organ was cool too. So keep them coming bro, not a bunch of talking just lights, camera, action that’s cool and very rare. !!!
Hello Reverend 😊 I’m Kay from Detroit and I’ve been a subscriber of Mr. Bigstackd for a few years now. I definitely encourage you to watch his other many vids, especially the giant motor breakdowns.. those are just epic lol.. Just was led to say a personal hello from the 313 and God Bless. 🤓🌺
Watch the movie Flywheel! Great Christian storyline!
Been enjoying your videos for years - so happy to see you reach that target. Well done!
A beautiful achievement! Grateful to you for taking us on this journey with you. It’s both sad and exciting to see you reach this goal. Can’t wait to see what’s next! Cheers, mate!!
Finally the video i have been waiting years for im so excited an hour and a half of pure excitement long live bigstackd
HEY BUDDY , I BEEN INCOGNITO FOR A FEW YEARS NOW , FINALLY REACHED RETIREMENT LOL, FIXING TO START BACK UP !!! YOU INSPIRED ME TO DO THE SAME IN South Carolina and Im glad to see you still doing VIDEOS on TH-cam lol !!!
What a payoff ! I've been waiting years for this, and you deliver an hour and a half long video for the "1 tonne" target. What a great way to start my weekend. Thank you
Yay, I totally loved this episode. Loved hearing your dulcet tones. The pours were mesmerising, and I was chuckling at the dogs. You rock Bigstackd. Don't stop what you're doing as you clearly love it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello D...first and foremost a BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!! for reaching the goal you set for yourself. I waited to watch this one until I knew I could give it my complete attention. When you said the motor was 87 years old I knew you would have some difficulty because things built that long ago were built to last. There sure was a lot of copper in it. Your voice sounded very relaxing to me. There's no reason to apologize just because you have an accent. Besides, it wasn't very heavy if you ask me. At one point you said you don't manage your time well. I beg to differ. On the contrary, I can't believe how much you accomplish from week to week. Not only did you move, you built an entire shed rather quickly and transferred all of your coins and ingots etc...some people didn't even realize you moved. You work a full time job, have a wife and children plus the two dogs and still manage to get a new video recorded and edited to post every single Friday without fail.
Anyways, thanks also for all the laughs over the years. I plan to continue to watch each and every week for as long as you continue to put out content. I hope you had a nice weekend and I also hope you're having an awesome week. 💙✌️
I don't know how, but every time you poured that copper, I swear the color got prettier. Cool video, D.
Thanks for sharing your hobby. It’s been a long journey but it definitely doesn’t feel long! I have looked forward to Friday’s videos for 3 years. And I look forward to many more.
And to think last week you only needed 100g to get the target.... bravo sir!! I look forward to your next adventures!🎉
Congratulations on blowing past your target! Nice to hear your voice again 🙂 I remember you spoke in some of your very 1st posts!
I realized why I enjoy watching you tear stuff down/apart (despite not thinking I'd have any interest in it) it's like going along on a treasure hunt & damn that motor was the mother lode for copper!
Glad to hear reaching the 1 ton goal doesn't mean the end of the road, there's still lots of melting to be done & i reckon I'm not going anywhere either since you're 1 of my favorite TH-camrs! 👍
The motor melt was fantastic It was cool to hear the voice of big Stack D.
Congrats brother. Always good to see someone accomplish their goal! Cheers mate.
I cannot imagine thw hard work and time you put in to make this video. Hats off to you sir :)
This was an incredible video. It was like a movie of pure enjoyment. And of course FINALLY THE TARGET IS MET! YAAAS!! When I woke up and saw the title, my jaw dropped and I got so excited!
Truly phenomenal video, and I am sure it was a tiresome journey to work on all that melting. Great job man!
Also, a true honor to hear your voice for the first time at the end.
I hope Ingot's eye is doing better and that you and family are doing well. Bless you sir for the awesome content. Can't wait to continue following this journey.
You can cut off one side of the copper wire then pull the rest out from the other side. real easy that way. I also put dawn dish-soap in my water to cool and clean them off .
Well this was an awesome journey! I remember when there was no mention of a stack and the subs were below 20K. You have inspired many to get into metal casting including me. This great hobby means a lot to me and has taught me many new things and I have learned a lot of new skills, and not to mention the awesome people I have found and met trough TH-cam.
It's great to hear your voice again after all these years, hope you talk to us again in future videos, THANKS Dion!!! 👍👊
Love the vids. Congrats on 1000 kg goal🎉
Congrats on achieving your goal man, hope to see you continue doing more awesome melts in the future. Cheers mate, and here's to many more in the future
the Indonesian couple who moved in next door : "I just love living here, everyone is so nice and cheerful. Even the scary biker guy next goes out of his way to reproduce the smells of home cooking, beer and circuit varnish. We are home!!"
Congratulations! It's got to feel like quite the achievement to reach this milestone. You've earned all of the accolades here in the comments and more, and I hope you're still getting as much joy out of creating these as we are watching them.
Hey Big! Congrats on 1T of stacked beauties! It was great to hear you. All the best from Poland. 🎉
I sure hope Ingot's eye gets better I sure have been keeping him in my thoughts and prayers . bigstackD . Your dogs sure are a special part of your videos . So awesome that you hit the Target 🎯 weight and that you will be back . You are the # melting and casting channel on TH-cam Hands Down .!👍👍
18:45 the very reason I never buy hitting tools with anything other than a wooden handle. I can fix them. Those fiberglass ones break easily, and are harder or impossible to fix when they do.
Congratulations on reaching the 1 ton goal! wonderful feature length video. I am always fascinated by the sight of the solidifying copper! looks like a time-lapse shot of freezing water. It was especially nice to be able to hear your voice at the end. You seem to have created a little men's paradise in this place... I envy everyone who gets to live in Australia! Best, warm-hearted greetings from Germany! I'm looking forward to the next videos. Keep it up!😊
Very sad to see the motor go but at the same time im very happy to finally see the goal was reached
Love these vids as they definitly help pass the time when everything is really slow and it definitly helps work on a few castings at home
Also on a side note im wondering if youll get into lost wax casting for some high definition unique castings? Id really like to see how a few metals work in it as ive mainly only seen aluminium but bronze and even steel can be used in it
Yes mate as soon as I can get on top of stuff over here at the property and my work I would love to start getting into a lot more lost wax casting and lost PLA casting and use my kiln a hell of a lot more 👍🏻
@@bigstackD nice
Also good to see ingot is doing better but i gotta ask what are you planning to do with your Fort Knox room?
congrats on hitting your goal, and thanks for taking us along on the journey! looking forward to the next adventures in big blocks of shiny metals 🙂
I spent 30 minutes thinking I was watching an amazing rebuild…. Then scrolled to the end and saw you’d melted it 😂
i too rebuild electric motors with a sledgehammer.
LMFAO 💀😭 @@LucasTucas94
My guy achieves his goal then starts to fly like superman at the end?! I need to start melting down metals 😂😭
THANK YOU BigStackD! You do us such an amazing thing providing us with your videos, your community appreciates you and it was such a nice touch at the end we’ve all been waiting for that!😂❤
What a journey its been and im more then happy to be able to have been a part of it and watch your work and hobby grow so much threw out the years. Im exited to see what the next chapter and goal will be in the years to come mate.
Thanks, really thanks for hearing your voice ! That's the cherry on top of your generally absolute great vids !
Congrats on smashing the goal of 1000kg! 🎉 great videos mate, thank you for the time and energy you put into each weeks episodes.
It’s been an epic journey mate and Iv loved every minute of it
Was emotional to hear you speak at the end
Now on to the next leg of the journey
Nice one 👍🏻
Big Stack D! Thank you for making such wonderful content. I always enjoy it but rarely comment. You'll have better luck with your bricks if the hollow spaces are not horizontal to the ground. They are designed to handle weight with the hallow spaces vertical, facing up and down, perpendicular to the ground. Dig it.
Watching this keeps me calm and it’s like pure therapy. Really helps my nerves
EEP! So excited to watch, and so glad I'm still awake to watch the brand new video! ❤😊
Edit 1: I'm only 16 minutes in, but watching this makes me so ridiculously happy I can't even explain it! 😍
It's been a long journey. I remember when you started making videos. You've come a long way since the pouring lead into a silicon mold video. I've been invested, waiting for this day to come. It's been amazing. A literal tonne of good content. I can't wait to see what comes next. Thank you for the adventure thus far. Cheer mate. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great job hitting your goal! Ever thought about consolidating all the smaller bars into larger bars to make room for the next tonne?
The voice startled my subconscious enough that it jolted me out of my nap. It was like an existential truth of my life had been violated.
Great job, Bud!!! Congrats on your goal. Actually, watched this end to end. Don't know how your videos do it, but it is very rare for me to skip through them. Glad to see Ingot clearing up. He still looks worn-out, poor guy. Hope he heals up quickly. Thank you for the great videos, keep it up.
Fun to hear your voice for the first time since I've started watching. I really like these videos, just watching you take things apart and recycle them back to their origins. Seeing those ingots and coins and other fun things get created is very enjoyable. Happy to see you hit your goal too, hope to see it double! Always looking forward to a new video from you.
Man, I remember when I first found you when you were around 150k subs and now you have nearly 10x that! It's been an incredible journey man! I look forward to each and every one of your videos each Friday! Congrats on reaching your goal and can't wait to see the new goal! Keep up the incredible work that you do!
До появления кувалды в кадре я думал что это начало реставрации)
Congrats bro on accomplishing ur goal..... Enjoying ur videos for long time..... Keep up ur good work
This was one well built motor. I bet you that if it was cleaned out someone could have gotten that working again too. I know it's a cliché to say "things aren't built like the used to be", but I'm pretty sure that this is proof of that haha! Nice job mate, great work on this one!
Im guessing the copper piece on the rotor was a heat sink?
This motor should've been kept for the coming apocalypses....
@@dom2661it might be built to last but it's efficiency is probably significantly lower than modern day ones. Then again in an apocalypse durability will value more than efficiency
@dom2661 plural?
motors of this type are three phase, theyre not useable outside of heavy industry.
I not only like your melts, I like the disassembly too, very chill. Reminds me of watching my dad work in his shop when I was a kid❤
When i first started watching your channel you have 37k subs, now you have 1.46m, well done m8 always love these keep it up from England
Thanks a ton!
I had a giggle watching that motor get heaved around on those tiny casters @ 2:50 ish 😅😂 especially after it’s just been handled by a forklift and a crane truck
I’m kind of speechless here, what with all the incredible things you’ve done. You’re a high achiever and we’re all proud of the journey you’ve had so far.
Wieloletni trud nagrodzony w pieknym stylu, brawo za wytrwałość. Pozdrawiam z Polski 👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🍾
Dołączam się do pozdrowień.
I've nearly watched everyone of your vids. This tear down and the bullet welder are my favorite vids so far.
Monumental moment to see you reach this goal(And hear you speak). Subbed around 300kg and to think watching metal being melted could be so relaxing.
1:30:50 glad to hear you again. 😅 So glad that you made your target. I've been watching for quite a few years and you have grown so much. So proud of you. Keep up the good work 💙🐝💙
Congrats on ONE TONN!!!
If you cut one side of the motor winding completely with a spiral stone, I recommend that you can remove it more easily after it burns.
