Not sure where you're from but here in the US most of them won't even buy them...... 22 year Master Plumber here I tried it before with all the copper that I get no one would even touch it I ended up having to put it on ebay..... and then eBay want some monster cut so you lose so much money not worth it
Never forget to use an oil or similar viscose (non reactive) coating to prevent oxidation of the coppers surface! This will make sure the copper can be sold for full price as clean ingots are more valuable.
I want to know what you do with the copper after you have melted into bricks? Do scrap yards take the bricks or do you sell to people doing copper casting?
I recently found an old aluminium window frame, melted it down in my 18 inch cast iron pan(I’m not sure entirely what it actually is I just found it at a charity shop) over a bonfire and it is just as satisfying as this
Wanted to see what happens if you put a little ascorbic acid in the water that the copper got cooled in, because it has anti-oxidant properties. Look up ascorbic acid + copper sulphate.
Thats what you saw him doing by skimming the surface of the molten copper. The impurities float on the top and you skim it off. To refine it even more pure I've heard you need to add borax or something. I'm an idiot so what do I know.
Hey mate, where are you from? Just curious. Good job with the melt. I liked watching you chopping the larger pieces in that machine you have. New sub. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘
Cool video ! Does quenching a hot ingot do any harm? Having worked with lots of copper wire and pipe and knowing how it work-hardens if flexed more than a few times, I kind of have this gut feeling that quenching to rapid-cool isn't really a great thing to do. And ... that is an AWESOME shredding machine !
yes , those are proper full size mans ingots, not like other youtube melters making puny 1 or 2 kg ingots. the biggest ive managed is just over 5kg. that mould is a beauty , hope to get to this level eventually.
According to the February 2021 values, 1kg of copper is 7.18 euro which means he just got 378.70 euro by melting some old metals. The more you know! I believe people won’t give away old copper items or materials easily though as many know it is worth quite a lot when sold to the right guy.
he didnt GET anything by melting it and changing its shape, he already had it and its value before he did anything.the melting costs time and money and does not add any scrap value
Great example of how much quality materials would otherwise be thrown in the trash. Nice haul. But I'm not getting why you put the copper in the water? I know it's hot. Learned this from dad who was an industrial arts teacher
Curiosity. Why is he brave? It's not hot. Dangerous is wearing gloves to feed the shredder. Get that glove caught on a snag on the copper and good luck getting your hand or whole arm back.. just saying I've seen similar happen on both a lathe and a drill press. On a similar note. Is horrible for the clean up guy.

awesome
In Belgium 54Kg copper = 286.20 € or 336.57 USD 😉

CrippledBox 11 I couldn't agree with you more there. It always amazes me how much potential gold so many people just thow away. 🤔
Well said
For example if one man poops the other man can make a toxic bomb and throw the bomb on the one man's face. 😤 I agree with your quote.

I find watching your shredder very relaxing. How long did it take you to collect all the copper?
You are really hardworking man, salute ❤️
He’s getting his money’s worth from that mini dumper 😂
Yes, I did not know Tonka made them that big.
Those copper ingots are MASSIVE! WOW!
Melts in minutes 🔥🔥
Good job Ben! Also, that little backhoe/dumper is really cool...
You must be getting close to reaching 3M subscribers, I would like to congratulate you early.
Happy late April Fools!
Wow you all Melt copper like a pro thanks for the video 👍👍👍👍
Wow! That is really impressive, the biggest one I ever cast was 10KG. Great video. Thanks.
5:20 that backsplash of forbidden orange juice must've been scary!
I want to know what you do with the copper after you have melted into bricks? Do scrap yards take the bricks or do you sell to people doing copper casting?
I have to say that is the biggest one I’ve ever seen even the big stacker doesn’t have one that big I want one now
It’s so cool how you have the melting part and then the shredder part my two favorite it ms I could arch all day long lol
I'd love to know where all of your scrap metals come from.
Hey PressTube! Love the video/channel like always! Keep it up stay safe hope you reach 3M subscribers and have an amazing afternoon! 😁👍

Alright 👍 PressTube A quad monster ingot cast, keep up the melts.
Not going to lie, at 8:05 I thought he was going to make a bar of water for a second.
On a lighter note, who ever said "a watched pot never boils" was totally lying. Time lapse for the win
What an awesome find‼️🤩
Man those are really beautiful looking bars 😍
Haven't watched a video from this channel in a very, verrry, long time. Man, I used to live this stuff, idk what happened
@Press Tube stfu bot
Can you use the thermal camera to see how the water is heating up when put the ingot into it
You got owned by that crucible.
Why do I find this so satisfying when I see people melting s***
7:23 The forbidden juice
I bet that machine is such fun to drive. Can just imagine popping to the supermarket with one of them 😂

This seems really fun
Respect for you ....from Romania !

I love watching Ben's videos 😁😬 they are so calming 🤪🤪
Kupfer ist das Gold des kleinen mannes
Where did you get your grabbing tools? The one you use to tip the crucible looks top quality?
You should try to make obsidian it’s made by rapidly cooling lava
Thank you for barely talking. I much prefer to watch the process than commentary. Hence why I like metal melting youtubers

That pot had a beautiful patina
good vid i tried ur setup worth it 1001%
Hi your setup is excellent how much did the furnace cost
8:50 Leet!
54 kg is A LOT of copper!
neat !! love the color of copper !! awesome video !! keep up the great work !!
I thought this was the bigstacked for some reason, then I saw the gnarly grinding machine which made me realise that it in fact is not bigstacked.
Yeah, I only noticed when I saw the furnace. I don't think that's a Devil Forge product.
@@kevinmencer3782 exactly.
That little tractors a cool toy.
Cast aluminum sword of Raya from Disney movie 'Raya and the Last Dragon '. Your work is great 👍👌👌
Or pick a film that people actually watched.
Where did you get all the scrap?
Most likely frm a reno site I think? Cus it's hard to get all these scrap wires and pipes
Your ingots cant be pure copper, all that pipe work you put in was full of soldered joints.
Thats what you saw him doing by skimming the surface of the molten copper. The impurities float on the top and you skim it off. To refine it even more pure I've heard you need to add borax or something. I'm an idiot so what do I know.
No. That slag is the unburnable stuff, sand,ash, etc. the solder melts at lower temp than the copper so the ingots will be mixed. Not pure
stupid question, but dissolving these things in your garden, does not release toxic substances or anything else for the environment? thanks
Super cool!

I love that one of them weighed "1337"
You should heat up the moulds before pouring, it'll prevent moisture explosion..
Wow like video good too see u have fun again
Presstube giving BigStackD some serious competition! 😎
Do a funko pop out of metal gold
Hi can you polish an ingot to make it shiny and beautiful in a future video?
Mooi, ben pas begonnen scrap te verzamelen.....
Nu volgende stap
Do i smell the new shredder
In next video we need to see it polishing.
7:52 I bet he drinks Carling Black Label.
I need one of those shredders. Looks amazing. What kind is it?
I Love your Script shredder plant 😊 i Wolldecke also like tu have one like that .
Looks like it's contaminated with brass and solder from the plumbing that was run through the shredder but nice video
I love your videos ❤
Where can i get the shreader love that
14,92 kg ???
You broke my record. Great job !

Did you raid some poor schmucks house while they were on vacation and steal all their copper? Piping, wiring, A/C coils, it's all there. 😋
Or he could have just made a quick trip 2 the scrap yard.🤷♂️
@@xvideodventurer4826 I guess, but here the scrap yards melt it themselves.
Oh what I could do with all this great equipment! !
6:11 That heat sink you're melting there is not copper! It's Aluminum painted with copper paint. See it catch fire just as you put it in?
Besef ff dit is de grootste TH-camr van belgie mr niemand kent hem
Haha Klopt !
Can't help but think the profit is all eaten-up in electricity and fuel costs to shred and melt the copper.
he could use wood and sticks as fuel
I thought that scale was a GIANT WHITE ANVIL 😂

Good video
How does that shredder do on #1 wire? I ask because I don't like feeding wire into the crucible. Folded, tied or whatever it's hard on the hands.
Super copper !!
I am curious how long it took from first melt to final weigh. Also how much slag was taken off.
That is one BEAST of a furnace. Please tell me the specs
I would not want to find out how little resistance that shredder would have crushing bone..
1:04 brave from your part not using gloves to fit the copper wires inside the crucible
Curiosity. Why is he brave? It's not hot. Dangerous is wearing gloves to feed the shredder. Get that glove caught on a snag on the copper and good luck getting your hand or whole arm back.. just saying I've seen similar happen on both a lathe and a drill press. On a similar note. Is horrible for the clean up guy.
The copper said to the machine: "I don't want to go it's nice here" while the machine said: "it's your new home it's better than you last one"
480$ worth of copper ! Nice ..
How do u get away with selling it in oregon a friend had a smelter for aluminum ingot deq shut him down he did have a permit deq shut him down when it xpired how do u get by sellen it with all the laws most places won't take burned wire cause all the copper theif around where it would be hard to show where u got copper
Can someone tell my what metal melter that is I wanna buy one
Does the shredder shred the ingot?
Nice how much is that set up is and how much money do you make a monthly? For melting
