Welcome to episode one of TKOR n' Chill. A special curated compilation of classic TKOR content all in one place, allowing you to kick back, watch, and chill. Over the years we've put out so much content which can make it difficult to navigate, so we wanted to make it a little easier to find videos on one specific topic by putting them in one place. Have idea for a future TKOR n' Chill topic? Drop it below. Now kick back by a roaring fire and enjoy!
@@justangelathegamer it's essentially like you are attached to wings of an airplane and you glide around the air. Usally u jump off something high to get started
When using the firebricks, I would suggest lining the whole outside of the bucket with K-wool blanket, then put the firebrick in tightly, maybe split the blanket so everything fits tightly, then fill in the gaps, there’s a product called water glass that’s made for glueing K-wool and firebrick together, I use this method quite a bit when I rebuild chambers in boilers, water glass isn’t easy to work with, but it works well.
the one part ya'll don't touch on is how to build the burners, that is the part that gave me the most headache. things like what type of regulator you need (high output, not just any regulator will work) the size of the orifice for the gas port (found somewhere that said size 0.030 MIG tips work well for propane) these are the things I would like see covered please.
You can find water glass at a plumbing/heating supply house, I love these videos, I’m going to build a large foundry and crucible so I can melt down all of my scrap copper into #1, the price for #1 copper right now is almost $4.00 a pound, and I have almost 1000 pounds right now.
I did a backyard foundry... I suggest using ceramic wool, a 5-gallon bucket, and ITC-100 clay slurry brushed into it liberally. It insulates better and is more refractory. I also used steel pipe with a cap welded on the bottom.
In the past you've changed the density of wood with water in a vacuum chamber. Could you try that with metals/alloys with a melting point under 300° C (the burning point of wood) try little wood sculptures and what not. Just a heating plate a pot and vacuum chamber
Learning from your video's Thank you for making them! Can I make (with the materials you used) an undergroud for making and soldering silver e.d.? And perhaps building 'a little wall to so my crucible is out op the wind? Thank you fro thinking about an answer Greetings from the Netherlands, Jan
I enjoyed this compilation so much more with the sound off and subscript turned on so I missed out on the distracting annoying frustrating to listen to Muzak-type noise, which I didn’t care for. In spite of my complaining about the interference music (which I didn’t care for ;-) I Loved the video! Thank You so much for putting them all together!
Put the crucible back in the forge after you use it rather than letting it cool at room temperature. let it cool with the forge to avoid thermal shock. Also store your crucible in air Tite container. to avoid moisture which will shorten thew life. Also, It is advised to bring crucible up to 4 0r 500 degrees and let cool before the first use. If you take care of crucible last for exceptionally long time.
Could you do the wool but also with Charcol over Propane I really do not like messing with Propane. But I never can get the plaster of paris to work for me
Might try carbon fiber strands/weave instead of steel wool. Both will convey heat about the same amount, alas, but the carbon fiber won't deteriorate over time like steel will.
Without refractory on the ceramic wool, those fibers will go airborn and get into your lungs. Think about a stabilizer at the very least. You also have to worry about vaporizing that zinc off the metal which is also very toxic.
What you are making is a furnace, not a foundry. A foundry is a factory that produces metal castings. Metals are cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal into a mould.
Shouldn’t you put the ceramic board on top of the fiber batting? 😊😊 Personally, I would put 2 layers of the batting and fiber board. Just saying. Lol. Actually I have a rather large kiln. Shrugging my shoulders. Lol. 😊😊

Internet legend, would have loved to meet him.
Blessed are those that actually knew him. Carry on that astute legacy:)
Feels like TKOR is back alive. What a great man he was.
what happened?
He was. Some months after his death, I saw a doppelganger of him in a grocery store.
@@bruhWTH43 what is that?
@@justangelathegamer it's essentially like you are attached to wings of an airplane and you glide around the air.
Usally u jump off something high to get started
@@southaussiegarbo2054 thank that feels painful tho
Can we have more videos like this instead of things like what happens when you put candy in a freeze dryer
Or the thousand episodes of will it cotton candy…
I’m so glad I’m not the only one thinking those exact statements 💯
It's all about balance, some people like the fun silly experiments and these crazy long videos. Probably 2% watch after 30 min
Couldn't agree more!
freeze dryer is underrated
OMG . So great to hear from him. Just wish he was here. Rest in peace Om Shanti.
Did he die
@@raccoon_423 yes
@@raccoon_423 powered paragliding accident unfortunately. Super fun and great sport, but not without its risks!
I remember watching the mini backyard foundry when I was a kid it's mad how fast time goes
The very original video I watched with a friend to recreat this, miss that man so much, much love to you guys keeping up his legacy
I miss TKOR :(... He explained things so easily
I remember watching all of these when they were made originally. Thanks for the throwback!
The nostalgia is awsome to have and remember.
One of my favorite episodes is his arc furnace and rocket fueled legos
😪
Can you make more of these videos like this, instead of putting candy in a freeze dryer
if he was still alive he probably would 😕
Mannn i miss him
Miss this guy.
It feels like he is back alive again but it feels refreshing to see him again
Same.... Miss the grin and way of doing/explaining....
I really miss this dude...
Those were nicer times
Just wanna say, get ceramic paint as a final coating over your cement. You’ll be in awe at how quickly you’ll get white heat.
A salute and 🍻 to the tkor legend.
This is the kind of content that i want to see, i will look forward to a series of calm but creative TKOR videos
Yep
TKOR: Legacy Edition.

Can still remember the video as if it was yesterday.
Man these were the best kind of videos
I love these roll-ups, like edited playlists that walk you through the progress that was made. Thank you, and bravo.
Keeping the spirit Alive!
For ever Rest In Peace to the king of random
HOW DID HE DIE i HOPE THAT IS NOT CRUDE
We all miss him dearly
Tip for longer lasting bolts. At 40:36 protect the protruding bolts by pushing them through a few small kaowool scraps.
I miss this stuff

you first :)

Kail wool you should always wear a respirator or seal it with refractory cement because it get thrown into the air by the blowers
This is awesome, I'd been thinking about buying something for a while to melt cans but now I'm going to make one!

How does one accumulate 1000 pounds of scrap copper

owning a foundry is something that every man should have
Thanks
And remember the galvanized will burn off eventually, so keep that in mind if you see fumes or yellow dust.
Thank you so much for this comment, I wanted to make this was but scared of the toxic zinc fumes. Thank you for commenting this.
Yup zinc fumes are nasty. I cant find any steel pipes without it for my hammer handle
Great job guys. Pretty long episode, but it's worth watching the whole thing

Ghosts of TKOR past

That sounds like a fun idea
Bro i miss him so much😢😢😢
Can you do a video on how to build an electric foundry?
Amazing video..👍👍

Is the sand necessary for this for this project I have plaster from other DIY projects I want to use up
Thanks!

This is much better than boiling glue or microwaving stuff
This is emotional
Why not a link to the monolithic brand heat resistant cement? Thanks. I can find gloves, and a followup to see if this works as planned.
I think of TKOR pronounced as the letters 'T" "K" "O" "R"
Moral of the story, buy a pre-made one!
No
❤❤❤❤ keep doing
Could you do the wool but also with Charcol over Propane I really do not like messing with Propane. But I never can get the plaster of paris to work for me
You may also try using perlite in your mix with the sand and plaster.
I made mine using mortar and perlite.
I love this.
The credible you wreckamend on Amazon says not use with coal does that mean also charcoal brackets? 😮
The last foundry is the best
Metal casting ❤
Might try carbon fiber strands/weave instead of steel wool. Both will convey heat about the same amount, alas, but the carbon fiber won't deteriorate over time like steel will.
Refractory Cement for the Foundry!!!
rest in peace man your vids were amazing
Another throwback! =)
Dang I miss him.
53:16 no masks drilling you folks are cray- cray!
we miss you so much!
what size blanket of kaowool does it take to do a bucket & lid of that size?
Beautiful
Excellent 👌👍
man I really wanna use the kao wool giant one but I'm so worried about heating up the galvanized trash can
Use some chicken wire in the plaster for reinforcement
This is great
I don't get the point of the lid with handle if there is gonna be a hole in the center of it.
The hole is an exhaust for venting heat and, if you’re using propane, allow excess gas to vent out. Any melting furnace has one because you need it.
Will this work to melt silver?
TKOR take notes!!
Miss him
lessgo my fav vid is back!
Does the kale wool work with coal ???
Yes it does
46:32 no gloves for kao-wool, somebody's being naughty!
Is Kao Wool and ceramic wool the same thing?
Is it all like fiberglass?

Omg my heart 💙
What you are making is a furnace, not a foundry. A foundry is a factory that produces metal castings. Metals are cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal into a mould.
Can you melt glass in something like that?
Absolutely. There is an older video where he has done it
Why am i watching this, im 16, broke af, and have a math exam tomorrow
That's exactly why you're watching it
People can use High temp cement to make a foundry and it's the same cement that is used to make high temp bricks that are used in wood stoves!
We miss you both
I'm more than surprised at the amount of heat kale wool can handle
The First Time i saw a Video of TKOR was when he showed us the first furnance
thank you
Yes can we
we miss them
Why not use thermal cement? I mean the one used for fireplace
Thanks in advance
I would love to see that final design scaled up to the trash can size. I may just have to do it myself
Shouldn’t you put the ceramic board on top of the fiber batting? 😊😊
Personally, I would put 2 layers of the batting and fiber board. Just saying. Lol. Actually I have a rather large kiln. Shrugging my shoulders. Lol. 😊😊
feels kind of wrong to be reuploading him like this
Keyowhoooooool.
I wonder if you could run these furnaces on methane
What type your oxygen?
