Hello again all you beautiful people👋🏻😁It is crazy how fast these weeks are going by, as usual I hope all you guys & gals are safe and happy and doing well. A lot of people keep asking for the Metal dust melt and even though I didn’t have much dust I thought I would still get it done👍🏻. I will do a slag melt soon as well. Now I’m working on some designs for merchandising and if anyone out there is a graphic designer or a great drawer and can think of a simple design that represents my channel feel free to email it to me on this email below and if I do go ahead and use the design I will be sure to send you a thank you gift. Now hopefully I’ll see you all again next week and I hope you have an awesome weekend , stay safe and take care👊🏻😃. bigstackddddd@mail.com
Cast a series of bells, all the same size, in different metals (copper, aluminium bronze, bell bronze, copper, etc. - hell - even an iron bell) and see how different they sound.(or tuning forks)
I really appreciate that you take the time to put captions in, instead of talking over the video. I work nights and when I get home at 4am, I like to watch TH-cam while I eat, but I dont want to wake up my partner. Its nice I can watch your videos without having to scramble around in the dark looking for earbuds.
I guess I'm a typical Yankee...can't seem to get a feel for temps in Celsius. Thanks for hitting the Fahrenheit button on that thermometer ! Much appreciated, BigStackD!!
General rule from C to F - double the C temp and add 30. It'll get you close. Doesn't work well for negative temps, but most others does fine. Example: 20c becomes 40 + 30 = 70 Actual conversion comes in at 68 but pretty close for in the head conversions
@@namoric for general temps like room and warm outside temperatures, it’s better to go with double and add 25. The doubling creates a higher disparity the higher and lower you go, so the double and add 30 is good for typical cold temps.
@@ThirdInLine If you want to do the actual math, (I really don't, but...) multiply degrees Celsius by 9/5 and add 32. Of course, it is much easier to use your phone and Google, but that's the way we learned to do it in school before the internet was a thing. Gawd, I feel like I should have a cane and a rocking chair so I can yell at the kids to get off of my lawn.
I recently found your channel, and I'm glad I did. I've been bingewatching as much as I can over the last month. What you do is fantastically interesting, and I love the doggos too! I've been to Perth, and can't think of a more beautiful, friendly place. I loved every second of my time in Australia. Thanks for doing what you do!
How the heck do you keep each and every one of your videos unique and exciting!? I never thought I'd be excited to get a weekly video of metals being melted in a forge, but here I am! Thank you for everything you do bigstackD! You are truly a man of legend. Your beautiful boys are so lucky.
When all this pandemic stuff is over and my wife and I travel to Australia I hope we can meet up somewhere for drinks. I'd like to buy ya a couple rounds. Your content is something I've come to look forward to on Fridays and it's just really nice to sit back, chill and enjoy the melting of metals.
I think it's a combination of the lack of waste, and the act of turning so much nothing into something worthwhile that makes dust melts so appealing. Thank you for indulging us, your fans~ Stay safe, take care, and thank you very much for the gratuitous pupper footage!
16:00 aw I think Ingot is very happy he has a friend these days! 🥰 I had a dachshund, my only dog and a spoiled baby but a sweetheart! I worried if I got another 1 he'd be terribly jealous! And in the very very beginning he was a little lol but in just a few days they were the best of friends and now you never see 1 without the other! They really love each other and it looks like Ingot and Bullion are the same! Such sweethearts 🤗
@@KM-hn8ce well we "cut off their balls" as you so pleasantly put it, to control population so there aren't strays everywhere (maybe it's not the best system but I don't know of a better 1) but the tails I don't know anything about. Do they cut frenchies tails off? I don't like that! There's no point to it and I see no reason to harm a puppy for aesthetic reasons! People used to do the same to rottweilers in the USA and my husband never had it done for his rotties! I know pugs can't breathe because of breeding people have done to make them look a certain way which I actually agree is a terrible thing for people to do. But frenchies don't appear to have a smushed up face like pugs, if they've done the same to them then yeah I disagree with the practice! But all that aside THESE 2 pups aren't to blame and ofc they are "sweethearts" ! Even if ALL of those things have been DONE TO them, how is it their fault and make them any less a good dog? All of that you bring up is PEOPLE'S fault not the dogs!
@Clayton Cronk I thibk because metal melt at different temperatures without using proper mixes and mixing them correctly, the stress of them cooling differently can cause an explosion that just what I think I’m not sure at all though.
I love that fact that Ingot being older and more mature actually takes the time to chew and taste the treats you are giving him. The pup just swallows and waits for more.
Thank you my friend I appreciate that, I’m glad you enjoy the content and can see the amount of work involved. A lot of people don’t realise that editing is the longest part of this whole process and can easily take me 12-15 hours just to edit one video😳
@@smoker4188 When melting brass in general, The closest to getting perfect precision in your end product alloy, that you can get, is if you used a temperature controlled kiln to get the brass to the exact temperature you want, and then it just comes comes down to doing a lot of math to find out how much zinc you will lose, at said temperature, and how long it takes to reach temperature, how much surface area is exposed to the air also effects it, because the very surface of the metal will burn zinc slightly faster, but after a bunch of research on your equipment and a bunch of math you can just add that amount of zinc back into it, and stir it once the brass is molten. So honestly, if you need PRECISION down to milligrams or decimals of milligrams, then you're likely in an industrial environment because most people won't need that degree of precision. An industrial environment will have extremely precise equipment and people who have already done the zinc loss math that relates to their equipment setup. But yeah even in industrial work, adding zinc back to molten brass is pretty commonplace.
@@erikblarg5498 that’s pretty cool, someone told me if you add borax to the top of the surface it’s less likely to burn up I’m not sure how true that is though lol
@@smoker4188Yeaah, Borax is just a flux that helps impurities to the surface, at least in the case of melting aluminum, brass, copper, or other basic alloys. But, I would be irresponsible to claim that there is no metal alloy that is more likely to burn up without borax, because while I do know a good bit about metallurgy, there is still so much more that I still don't know about it, seeing as there is a near infinite combination of alloys that could be created.
Why do trolls give thumbs dow 20 seconds after the videos been released I just do not understand. If you don't like what he's doing watch something else.
Some do it so that other people will point it out that someone disliked the video to get attention and sometimes it's the channel themselves that's in the very first wave to dislike.
Been watching your videos for just over a year and a half now and being in Ontario Canada your videos come up for me at 4 am and i stay up every Friday just to see them when they come up. I'm saving up to get a devil forge myself melting seems like alot of fun. Also thank you your videos calm me down when my bpd is bad it stops my brain. keep up the amazing work man you are a legend.
Another good vid. I have 2 fish bins overflowing with copper and brass of various sorts and have entertained the idea of , one day buying a forge and mould for a melting session. In this vid I see you moving the white sleeve on the burner, what does this do ? Any chance of an instructional vid for the beginners with suggestions or recommendations for the best/most suitable entry level forge and moulds ? The only problem I have with your vid’s is the choice of beer you drink, never drank Wombats piss before but I’m sure it’s a close match. 😆👍
Wombat piss lmao i disagree but that was kinda funny none the least haha not any better then american pisswater haha beer is beer at the end of the day 😂😎
I love your channel and it literally inspired me to buy my own Devil Forge furnace and start doing my own thing. I’d like to give a warning here, In my opinion you should always over stress the importance of safety gear. Three weeks ago I had an incident loading copper into my furnace where there was some residual refrigerant oil in a piece of tubing. When that oil hit the molten copper in my crucible it shot right into my eye blinding me in my right eye. I was fortunate that I was not disfigured but I bear the responsibility as I was not wearing Safety glasses. I think it’s really important that you stress and show people proper protective gear and how you keep yourself safe! Cheers to you, I love your channel and I love what you do
Hi D...I hope you and your family are doing well. I was surprised at the amount of slag in the dusts. I thought they were going to be quick and easy melts but realized different. Ultimately both bars ended up with beautiful mirror finishes. Great job my friend! 👍👍👍
I appreciate you taking the time and converting the temperature and measurements to US units because our country refuses to learn new shit lol. It makes it a lot more easily immersive for us yankees.
I’ve melted Zinc bars down myself, produced a lot of toxic gas, but very pretty to watch it burn in the bottom of a crucible. Definitely my favourite shade of green
I think I asked you this before but do you know or give me a name of website where you get the molds? I think you said you had a buddy that you know but wants to remain anonymous. I know some just show up at ur door step. If they are all custom I'm cool with that 😎
His first ever role, if I remember right. It was just at the end of his 'Markey Mark and the Funky Bunch' period as I recall. Good to see a hip-hop artist transition into a (decent!) mainstream acting career, he's honestly pretty damn good at acting, he was wasted doing Nsync and his solo act as Markey Mark.
Hm: bigstackD produces lots of sanding dust. Collects all sanding dust. Melts the dust to ingots. And sands the ingots, turning them into dust! As the bible said: dust to dust...
I've been asking for a dust/slag melt for a while and u didn't disappoint me there big fella. Just keep melting shit and I'm sure we'll all be tuning in for a long time to come
because if all the metal is the same size in the same crucible at the same temperature then all of the metal melts at the same time so after a while of letting is sit he takes out what’s on top because that’s the slag
@@SportLairVids OK, but how do you know at what point all the metal has melted? Say like on many of his melts he keeps adding things to the crucible as things melt and create space for more stuff, is there like a set amount of time at a certain temperature that would guarantee it has all melted?
I'm imagining that is when he intends to end the channel. He still has a ways to go, especially if he keeps adding small increments each episode rather than the kilos you get from motor melts and such. And by then it will probably have run it's course.
There will be no end in sight that I can think of, one tonne is just a small goal I’m going for and after that I don’t know what I’ll do ? probably just keep adding to the stack and set another target but I don’t think I’ll ever stop the channel if it keeps building and going as strong as it is👌🏻😁. Plus if I stop the channel the 50 other copycat channels will try and take over🤔
Since you like smashing things. Why don't you make something shaped like a big foot, or fist. It's good to see your little buddies like veggies and fruit. Thank you for sharing the video.
You do realize that be tens of thousands of dollars worth of gold, right. Close to 78 thousand dollars Australian for a 1 kg ingot. That's far more expensive than even a tonne of stack is worth.
Yesterday was my birthday 🎂 also I'm not skipping ads because I want you to get more beer I watch these videos because it's satisfying to see it melt and pouring it into the molds
Just in case you were wondering, that gas coming off the brass is probably zinc. Zinc evaporates when brass melts, so good job wearing your resperator.
To save more dust to metal, use equal parts borax/boric acid powder to help separate the slag from the good metals, I work for a jewelry company that melts its own metals in house and thats one of the ways we clean our metals to save the most we can, just a friendly tip 😁

Always a delight to see scrap turn into bars, and the doggies don't hurt either!
What about pouring 2 different molten metals into either end of the same mold at the same time? See if they mix and swirl in the middle of the ingot.
now that would be epic
But there will be impurities in the the ingot causing the two metals to mix properly
Afaik mixing molten metals that way is a pretty bad idea an can lead to explosions
@Clayton Cronk I thibk because metal melt at different temperatures without using proper mixes and mixing them correctly, the stress of them cooling differently can cause an explosion that just what I think I’m not sure at all though.

Imagine carrying the two trays of dust and then sneezing at that point do you just say Ah fuck it and throw shit?
I imagine you could just sweep it up again depending on where you are.
also wearing a mask/respirator might help reduce the damage, as long as you dont do a massive jerking sneeze

Медь стала дороже, это хорошо. У нас в России стоит 6,000$ за тонну
Я так понял что я 2 русский человек здесь
I've been asking for a dust/slag melt for a while and u didn't disappoint me there big fella. Just keep melting shit and I'm sure we'll all be tuning in for a long time to come
Looks like he's wearing a respirator instead of his Dallas mask.
It's good that the puppies have a balanced diet and nice to see that extra content at the end!
Curios, how do you tell slag from metal that just hasn't melted yet?
because if all the metal is the same size in the same crucible at the same temperature then all of the metal melts at the same time so after a while of letting is sit he takes out what’s on top because that’s the slag
@@SportLairVids OK, but how do you know at what point all the metal has melted? Say like on many of his melts he keeps adding things to the crucible as things melt and create space for more stuff, is there like a set amount of time at a certain temperature that would guarantee it has all melted?
the upside down cross mould made my evening. tysvm.
Wonder what would be his next plan after reached 1 tonne target 🤔
I'm imagining that is when he intends to end the channel. He still has a ways to go, especially if he keeps adding small increments each episode rather than the kilos you get from motor melts and such. And by then it will probably have run it's course.
There will be no end in sight that I can think of, one tonne is just a small goal I’m going for and after that I don’t know what I’ll do ? probably just keep adding to the stack and set another target but I don’t think I’ll ever stop the channel if it keeps building and going as strong as it is👌🏻😁. Plus if I stop the channel the 50 other copycat channels will try and take over🤔
Two little cucumber vacuums! LOL Cheers bigstackD
Since you like smashing things. Why don't you make something shaped like a big foot, or fist. It's good to see your little buddies like veggies and fruit. Thank you for sharing the video.
I appreciate that you switch your thermometer between C and F. I know how to do the conversion in my head, but I am happy you do it for us.
once you reach 1 ton, I expect a gold bar melt
You do realize that be tens of thousands of dollars worth of gold, right. Close to 78 thousand dollars Australian for a 1 kg ingot. That's far more expensive than even a tonne of stack is worth.
5g micro bar
@@kevinbray3724 Dont come to me with excuses, come to me with solutions! GOLD BAR GOLD BAR GOLD BAR!!!
@@spiritbaki108 Even a 5 gram micro bar is $385 Austrailian
@@kevinbray3724 Well i think in a video he spent some money on a silver ingot, idk if he can buy gold too but idk
Yesterday was my birthday 🎂 also I'm not skipping ads because I want you to get more beer
I watch these videos because it's satisfying to see it melt and pouring it into the molds
The sunlight shining in the driveway looks brutal!
Glad everybody else loves dust melts as much as I do
Like the breaking of the ice technique 👌 PERFECT!!!
I love those two boys. They are so adorable. Awesome vid
Damn, Bigstack! You weren't joking about the amount of slag!!!

The 4 ingredients for an awesome channel
My favorite part of any of your copper melting videos: The green flames! 🔥🔥🔥
That ice smash made me laugh out loud! 😄
I love your copper bars, they are more beautiful luster than any other, even more beautiful than gold or silver. And then again, my mum was a redhead🙂
Just in case you were wondering, that gas coming off the brass is probably zinc. Zinc evaporates when brass melts, so good job wearing your resperator.
Love the melts, but love the doggos even more.
Love how you don't let anything go to waster: steel, other metals, and even plastic.
The dogs are awesome! ☺️❤️
Nice,I was waiting for this from a long time.
Love that mirror finish!!
These videos are like zen meditation to me. Awesome!
Cool video D. Brass just looks so good all shined up. Have a great weekend. 🍻🍻🐺🐺
Loved the quick behind the scenes look at the mess from the making of the video, and as always the shots with doggos. Keep that stuff in its great.
To save more dust to metal, use equal parts borax/boric acid powder to help separate the slag from the good metals, I work for a jewelry company that melts its own metals in house and thats one of the ways we clean our metals to save the most we can, just a friendly tip 😁
