- Nothing finer than adding a big bar of Nordic Gold to the Stack. Today I use the Usual Nordic Gold blend of Copper Tin Zinc & Aluminum. I also do a quick Brass melt to make me a nice Uncharted coin. I have done this coin before but i havnt done it double sided one until today. Now sit back relax and i hope you enjoy todays video, Have a great week and see you all next friday.😁

HOW TO MIRROR FINISH A BAR
I start with an 80 grit flap disc on my angle grinder then I use my drill with 50 mm round sanding discs . I start with 150 grit then go through the following Grits 240-400-800 Then once I get to the following Grits I use a small squirt of WD-40 1200-1500-2000-2500-3000. The WD40 helps to lubricate the discs and stops the sanding disk binding up with the metal powder . Then after that I use my buffer wheel on my bench grinder to get a perfect mirrored finish on it.

Huge Nordic Gold Bar From Scrap Metal - Gold Bar - Trash To Treasure - ASMR Metal Melting BigStackD
Nordic gold is such a lovely metal I really should do more as I don’t have that much of it on my shelves. Today I Melt up 4 metals to create the Nordic gold alloy and give it a nice Mirror shine and chuck it on the shelf. Another long video today as I did a second melt where I made myself a nice double sided coin from the game Uncharted. So grab a drink sit back relax and I hope you enjoy today’s video and as always have an awesome weekend my friends 😁👋🏻
i love your video
and dog

Me: Now its Friday.
I find it odd that last week I made a comment mentioning that you haven't done a nordic gold melt (nor have you done an aluminum bronze melt) in a while, and here you are making a nordic gold. Almost as if in response to my comment. :P Was it because of me, or was it just a coincidence in timing?
Can you do more cast iron?
I am a 65 year old mom and grandmother from America, Minnesota, who loves watching your videos. My eight year old female cat Maddie, also loves watching, especially if she hears the crow. Thanks for showing the crow this time. It was a real treat for her. Your fans from up top...
Good to see that you made a point to open up all the pieces of pipe after you cut them. Melting pipe is particularly hazardous because if any air gets trapped (ie ends are pinched closed), it will expand and create an explosion hazard when the walls of the tubes expand.
Good focus on safety.
I have a hard time sleeping at night. I have tried everything from melatonin to essential oils. Nothing relaxes me more than watching your videos. Please don't change a thing. I look forward to these every single Friday.
Dogs, booze, fire, socks, shiny things, food, molten metal. This channel always has the best stuff to kick off the weekend. Cheers from Victoria.
These were the ingredients chosen to make the perfect blacksmith but professor bigstack accidentally added chemical x (TH-cam)
Stop talking like a criminal , only jack daws are attracted to shiny things and they are thieves. From london with luv
He’s living the dream, man!
DOn't forget the wonderfull Tintin tshirt
Don't forget custom home.
This is honestly such an enjoyable looking hobby; Current life goal is definitely to get to a point of financial security where I've got my own place and can do this, because I'd be happy as can be with a shelf full of shaped metal, I think! Cheers to you and your channel, mate, I always look forward to seeing the videos you put up
Thank you, brother, I'm a double stroke survivor, you give me something to look forward to every week. Kudos to you sir!.
👊🏻😁
the way you put a line perfectly through ‘aluminum’ at 1:37 gave me chills
This has very quickly became 1 of my most watched channels. Thanks for all of the Entertainment and relaxation
If there's one thing I've learned from this channel, it's that you can stop your firebrick from sticking to your crucible by separating them with cardboard.
Yeah I do say it a fair bit but you would be surprised how many emails I receive each day with people crying about a Crucible stuck to the firebrick🤦🏻♂️
Ever thought about doing a scrap jewelry melt? Around here, we look at garage sales and the like, no idea if Australia has an analogue. (it's shocking what people throw away or sell because it's out of style or not top shelf.) You might even be able to make electrum for something a wee bit different. (alloy of silver and gold)
In Aus, everyone knows the value of silver and gold. So they want more than melt value for scrap. Sucks. Even the thrift shops will charge you like $30 for a set of out of style earrings that weight a couple grams. Here it’s cheaper to buy bullion and remelt it.
Yeah I’ve been thinking the same thing
Some of the things I've seen people melt down or chemically break down have actually been heartbreaking. There's some very fine artisan work I've witnessed get destroyed just for the gold and silver and it was worth more as it was. Sreetips is the worst offender of this. I still like him and all but when I seen him break down a beautiful braded chain or some ornate piece, I cringe a little bit. 😅 I've got no qualms about junky costume jewelry being lost but I think some of the gold scavengers get too focused on retrieving the gold and silver alone that they end up not seeing the value of the artwork of pieces that are still in perfect condition. 🤷♀️
can make a killing in Scotland melting down all the scrap syringes off the streets 😂😂
@someone Puts them on his shelf.
To answer your question: While I do appreciate a nice mirror shine, I also like the bare metal look of your casts and would like to see one side in its non-mirrored state.
As always, I appreciate your videos. Until next week, enjoy your summer!
Your videos are one of the few I watch without skipping ahead...love every hot minute of them. And the pups are a nice addition, too. Oh, your socks are a show of their own.
I sense it's time for a Ms BigStackd in the videos!
That Nordic gold ingot is awesome! Looks unbelievable; great stuff watching an artist at work!
I like how little things change here and there but the main theme and procedures always remain unchanged. Quality Melting ASMR my dude
These videos are so therapeutic. Almost like staring at a campfire at the end of the night before you tucker into your tent
I bought a 4kg devil forge, only took a week to get to Melbourne from Lithuania. Couldn't be happier. Such good quality and pretty cheap too.
The left turn thread on the regulator had me pulling my hair out lol. Cheers bigstackd for the hook up. I'll send ya something in the mail
Where do you get the crucibles from?
Do you have to insulate them? Or do they come insulated?
@@bradameerbeg2154 it comes insulated, but you have to paint refractory cement on it, which also comes with it
@@alexanderroozeboom4115 ebay
@@footrot17 could you be more specific?
Do you have a link?
Whenever I search for crucibles, I only find very small ones.
Just watched a few of these posts and came away with the following observation.....The dude is a perfectionist!!! Not a speck of disarray anywhere. Not in the shop not in the house, not in the yard, not in the fridge. Makes me feel like I'm a friggin slob. I still subscribe though 🍺
I love nordic gold. It has all the thing i like in a melt: It's an alloy, it pours well, the metal isn't sinking too much when cooling and the color is super nice when cleaned up. I would definitly leave one of the small side untouched on the bigger ingots. rough metal is really pretty as well.
Editing is on high level ❤️❤️, love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Спасибо тебе огромное,что каждый раз радуешь нас своими видео! Этот слиток потрясающий и очень красивый!
Это же не золото,...
@@мыбезумныХристаради...1Коринфя Ну да,это называется "нордическое золото",сплав
OMG The lamb chops looked wonderful! Nordic Gold is a very pretty metal
I don't foresee myself ever needing to melt down melts into bars, but if I do I will ALWAYS remember to preheat my mold, skimmer, and metals.
Ясно я так и думал: Огромный скандинавский золотой слиток из металлолома - Золотой слиток - От мусора к сокровищам = Подделка под Золотой слиток из Латуни изготовленной из металлома, работа самоделки ASMR Metal Melting BigStackD. Молодец, можешь! Не Алхимик но хороший металлист с руками растущими откуда надо и с нужной фантазией. Лайк!
Interesting to see the petrobond attempts. I was doing a lot of that with an acetylene torch and just got a 10kg forge to upgrade system. I was using wooden frames I made but just bought the larger metal frame you have there. Yet to try. One thing you could try to get more consistent results is scratching tiny vent lines out to the sides of the frame. At the moment it looks like your air vents can be hampered by metal flowing in. A whole bunch of small lines to the edge won't let metal through but they will vent air maybe getting a cleaner result. My pours were all more horizontal. With your coins they were more lying flat. I put lots of pinpricks up to the surface of any high bit in the model to vent air and then buffed off the little bits after.
Wow ~ Incredibly talented, Fantastic....Love your work!
I love your videos! I get to see what you’re melting, your dogs🥰, what kind of beer you’re gonna drink and your socks! Love the socks. You keep your shop area clean, and sometimes you get hungry. Good fun! Keep it up.
AHHHHHHHH ITS FRIDAY!!!!
now bbq to add to the awesomeness!!! I f--king love this channel!
Still my number one go-to for melts. Nice big shiny bars with extra bbq content was awesome. The best part is saving all dust and dross for future melts. Nothing get wasted and I really appreciate that virtue of yours. Great bar my friend
It is cool to see the way they look unchanged when they're cast. I would say save a good colorful side when you get them!
If you do mirror polishings like that, I'd say leave one end untouched for comparison and for the bliss of seeing what it looked like before it was shaped up!
Also another formidable melt. Nordic gold has a lovely sheen to it.
I would leave the back unpolished myself.
@@barbarakennedy2667 I wondered if you could leave a perfect circle untreated on one end, it would look amazing.
I like the idea of a little cameo of a raw bit. A short end would look cool!
@@timthehippy9478 If you have a lathe that would hold a block that big you could turn all sides but leave a nice perfectlly circle spot on the top of the ingot.
@@timthehippy9478 ⁸
Allein für die ganze Arbeit mit dem kupfer gibt's nen Daumen hoch.
Absolutely love the Nordic gold melts! There is an art and a science to ensure you get what you envision. 😁
It’s so thoughtful that the value is translated into many currencies!
Just the editing that goes into these videos is a huge amount of work. Nice.
Well im lucky i saved the vid for a nutty bar dessert because of that grilling! 🐶
Nice! I'm surprised you didn't melt the copper and remove the slag and pour little bars first to get a pure copper weight, then measure things out from there. Keep the videos coming!
Yeah, as dirty as that copper tubing was, I figured he would lose some weight from the dross that would form.
Same
@@vincedibona4687 he lost wieght as soon as the zinc boiled off.
I think I need to bring you some good sand next time I visit 🤣 I do however like how the failed ones come out because it makes them look old. 👍🏻
Hey Adrock, are you and bigstackD going to do anymore crossover videos? I quite enjoyed the ones you guys did a couple of years back!
@@exidy-yt hopefully once covid is all over with
So never then!!
I always thought Nordic Gold was a Gold alloy with zinc or tin or whatever, but with copper, tin, aluminum and zinc its basically a brass-type alloy
Yeah, it's NORDIC Gold. In Sweden we used to produce two thirds of Europe's copper. Kinda makes sense the alloy would contain either that or iron (which we have the biggest deposit of in the world). It was originally developed for our 10 Kronor coins and it's a really nice looking alloy :D
I just found this channel and I'm absolutely hooked!
Only 278 kg to go !
If the zinc burns off, what is the effect of adding it to the mix? Also, how does that in turn affect the copper added after the zinc combusted ?
Even the messed up coins looked cool. the cracks in them almost make them look more authentic
If you set one of your large rectangular moulds on top of the forge, you can use it to hold the metal pieces to be added later and that pre-heats them ensuring they're completely dry before hitting the crucible...
What is Nordic Gold used for in an everyday application? It looks cool with what is done on this channel, but I’m just curious as to what else it’s used for. Cheers!
Coins.
It is in the Euro 10, 20, 50 cents
I've tried many different relaxation videos from snowstorm to train sounds. This is the most relaxing type of video I have found. Smoke a blunt and be mesmerized!
Awesome looking finish 👌 Thanks for sharing brother much love and respect from Colorado USA!!🍻👊
I love the names you labels your containers they made my dad and I chuckle
Hey D... that was a marvelous nordic gold ingot. The only thing that would make it better would be if you stamped it. That makes it look so professional.
What was that paper that you put between your lamb chops and your grill? Loving all you do! 💙✌
Cheers Susan. I did actually stamp the end of the ingot if you go back and look at the video when I pushed it onto the shelf it has been stamped but unfortunately I screwed up editing and edited that bit out. I didn’t realise until after I released the video🤦🏻♂️. The paper i used on the hotplate was simply baking paper which makes it very handy for cleanup and it makes sure the marinade from the meat doesn’t stick to the hotplate👍🏻😁
Blacksmith terms are always so hilariously melodramatic I love it lol. "And now, it shall enter... The Crucible"
Jesteś mocarz, kozak jednym słowem, od dawna relaksuję się przy twoich wyczynach💪, aż chce się stać u boku takiego mistrza akcji i gdyby nie to że mieszkam w bloku już dawno coś bym topił 🤓- pozdrawiam serdecznie
BIGGY those coins looked sweet to me it's like finding old coins you dug up. BIGGY what kind of bird was that, that bird made some funny sounds lol 👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦
If the zinc evaporates away before the other metals start melting, does the resulting alloy actually contain any zinc at all? I would add the zinc after the other metals have melted, much like when you add borax to brass after it has melted. Love your videos!
Exactly what I thought. What's the purpose of adding zinc to the charge if it does nothing but being blown off the crucible like it did. Or does some of it remain in the melt? Looks like waste anyhow. Fascinating stuff, and a very nice video overall.
How do they add zinc to the United States penny ?
I can't wait to read the answer. I was wondering what the purpose of zinc was as well. It did look cool however.
I guess I'll throw my post into this "ring." I, like everyone in this thread, wondered the revelancy of Zinc in Nordic Gold...period. My thoughts turn to the "3 stages of matter...Solid, Liquid, Gas...and I'm wondering if this is an element that goes straight from solid to gas??? Perhaps it spends such a miniscule amount of time as a liquid before being vaporized we're not seeing it. Which, guess what, leads me back to my original premise...Is Zinc actually needed in Nordic Gold? Nice....Circular reference without an answer, and I have to work in the morning...lol. Great video as usual. Love Adam Lebner's comment so much that I'll give it a shout out...the only difference is that I watch on Sunday night - calms the system and preps me for sleep. Cheers from Ohio, USA...🍺
@@Rainmaker65 solids can go straight to gas without entering the liquid state same thing the other way arohnd
An answer to all men’s problems in one video! Absolutely amazing! 😵💪
Would pre-melting the zinc in a cupel and adding it to the rest of the liquid metals result in less boiled off zinc? Or is the ratio of the alloy made to account for that boil off? Would the alloy nor form correctly if you did so?
Good question, the way i see it, there aint no reason to add zinc if it just boils away.
@@Boom-Freaka yeah I was wondering the same, if the zinc boils off why add it at all?
@@TheFreak111 it provides oxidation resistance in the early stages would be my guess.
@@hlessiavedon it slows oxidation when? After it gets poured, or during the melting process? Lol, i dont get it.
Seems the copper and aluminum would be melted and then the tin and zinc added later....
I just love your Nordic Gold... What a pretty bar and OMG YUMMMMM! Those lamb chops look amazing...
Nearly all caught up mate. Discovered your channel with some of your more recent vids. Got hooked and started watching all your vids from the start. Seen the first 4 years of them now lol. Been a great journey and has been a relief through some tough times. Thanks and keep up the good work
You really should give it a try. Only a couple hundred dollars for a small furnace
the crows literally saying woow to the finished bar was so funny! great video as always mate 👌
Ye, definitely need to save 1 side untouched to remember what it looks like before grinding.
To all you viewers, melting and pouring molten metal is one of the coolest things I've ever done. Once you watch copper boil and then freeze, you want to do it again. I buy copper by bulk, ask friends "Got Copper?" It's an addiction. And molds only make it worse. So many thing you can make from Nordic Gold. I would recommend it to anyone who gets the urge.
OH!, and BIGSTACKD is the guy I watched the most. I remember when he melted his bathroom.
Good to see something nice from AU.
I've been hearing some horrible stuff going on there.... 🥴
Love seeing the AEG cordless tools being used, that's my tool of choice (Ridgid) for work and home use.
It would be really cool if you could measure the volume of the castings (i.e. with water displacement) and calculate the density of the alloys. I love the nordic gold color, and great video as always!
Rain AND a fan? I’d be sleepy too!!
To be honest I'm surprised that the floor where you're keeping your finished metal hasn't buckled under that weight; pretty damn sturdy.
His house is clearly on the ground level. Concrete slab on top of compacted ground..
he probably reinforced it with the metal ingots themselves lol
Why are you surprised? He gives the total weight of all of his melted metal at the end of his videos. His current total weight in this video is 1588 lb or 722 kg. That's not a whole lot of weight. I mean for example: let's compare it to an aquarium. Most people that can afford a large aquarium start with 125 gallons if they're going to go big. A 125 gallon tank full of water, gravel, decorations, Etc can easily way over 1400 lb and just about any house can support that without an issue so long as it is perpendicular to the joists. I'm pretty sure his GROUND-LEVEL mancave will be just fine.
@@jerichojoe307 Yes, I'm surprised that nearly a ton of weight in a typical suburban home - even in Australia - built on a concrete foundation then on wooden struts is supporting that much weight. When compared to an aquarium of _that_ size wouldn't be accessible to a typical home and cost tens of thousands of dollars. Would you like to continue this asinine discussion or just let me make a fucking joke?
I was going to say i guess humor is wasted on you guys.... but your response was eloquent enough... 😆
Bullion and Ingot seem to be guarding your treasure during the rain.
Love this stuff mate 🤙 question, how long was the process for the first big block? From first firing up to the pour into the mould?
Cheers mate
I'm on the 'leave one end untouched' side. Nice work, thanks!
The best weekend stuff I saw,,,specially the beer
My cousin Jan lived in NSW and sent me a beer cozy just like yours . She used to be involved with the super 8 , v8 racecars . I enjoy your videos
I laughed pretty hard when you started cooking over the forge.
I think having one side raw would be a good way to show the kind of work that went into the ingot, so yes.
Oh god that gold bar turned out nice! Nordic gold is just soooo satisfying to look at when it's buffed like that! Thanks! I feel like this one was especially for me :P
rain makes me sleepy but so does the sound of your forge with the lid closed.
Yeah!....so we have a look at before melt, and then after melt which in turn is the before the finish look.
In school we use to break glass over certain metals to keep them from burning up. Copper, brass, and zinc being a few.
I listen to rain sounds every single night
...so cool to watch....the doggie icesculpture, too good, the Art within the Art.....and so one colours the life....nice
The process of preparing to melt seems just as fun as the melting itself! Yes, 1 raw side would be pretty cool!
Copper is so interesting to me; it's got an extremely high melting point, and yet it's really flexible and can be snipped in half with some garden shears.
I honestly did not know that this was a thang, I just collected and sorted then sent to scrap yard, wam bam thank you mam but this looks relaxing....
Keep feeding me Seymour!!!!
The edit when cutting the copper pipes was worth it.
I would leave one side or end unpolished. Cool to see a view of natural state in comparison to polished finish. The contrast would also make the polished sides look even better.
I love your vids man. You make me laugh without saying a word. Nice style. Greetings from Colombia.
👊🏻😁
so cool to see the leidenfrost effect happening as the bar slides through the ice boiling the water around it haha
This channel is the most satisfying when you want to kill time thank you 🙏🏾
An Exellent effort, and I commend you. This does remind me of why coins were historically stamped, and not cast
Thanks for introducing me to this interesting craft properly
I had no idea I'd be so gripped by smelting. Just wow!
Beautiful work 👍
I love this many clip🙃
The best of the best.
Thanks from Norway 😊
Interesting, Even @23:07 the birds have an Australian accent in the land down under lol
Nordic Gold really does have a nice luster to it! Great video and love the frenchies!
I think leaving the bottom, if there aren't too many holes, raw is a good idea. I think it reflects how much work goes into the mirror polish.
This dude is creating a haul that Nathan Drake would only dream of finding on his adventures
Molten metal is awesome but couldn't help but admire your ring at the beginning and would love to get one for my husband.
A new Nordic gold thors hammer would fit nicely on your amazing shelf of treasures
Thanks for the awesome video
Thanks for the Awesome comment 👊🏻
McHappy Day Socks!!!! And keep polishing the bars - it's part of your incredible talent to turn most people's waste into beautiful works of art.
Huge fan... all the way from Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪... awesome videos... addicted to watching your videos 👍🏿
Loved your doggos wink to you at 12:50 hahaha
