- Hey everyone how are you all? Now after last weeks small addition to the stack i thought i best just step it up a bit for todays melt. I saw a huge stadium light at the scrap yard and just had to melt it. 46 Kgs it came in at and i ended up getting over 15kgs of pure Aluminum/Copper from it. A huge addition to the stack and another step closer to my 1 tonne goal. Now todays is a super long vid so sit back put your feet up and enjoy and above all have a happy same Christmas break wherever you are in the world.

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.

Hey guys hope you all enjoy the long video just in time for Christmas. I wish you all the best and see use all next week take care BSafe😁👋🏻🎄🎄🎄
There was a lot of slag in that alloy melt is that usually the case with cast alloy ?
Merry Christmas champ!!
I liked it was interesting do to spiders.
Question on giving a all aluminum engine a try or mybe go to a shooting range off the road were people just dump there stuff to shoot.
Thoughts.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you bigstackD!!
we want dust melt
Man it's been two videos that I saw where there is a spider and that you don't kill nor torture her. I have to say I admire you, there are so many TH-camrs out there making fun of scaring, torturing, and killing spiders. Seeing you free them and even blowing in plastic tubes to make sure they're not inside really makes my day. So in the name of the spiders, thank you 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Fuck spiders, frogs kill bugs just as good without being eight legged little bitches that build their houses in every outdoor path, so again fuck spiders
If it was a funnel web or a red back he would have made sure they were relocated faaaar faaar away lol
Spiders kill cockroaches, the enemy of my enemy is my friend
I understand killing, spiders can be terrifying, but what sort of thing calling itself humans tortures them
I have never seen anyone torturing insects or animals on TH-cam. TH-cam wouldnt allow it anyway. What you talking about?
Those cylindrical devices look like starter capacitors. They help suppress the voltage spike generated when turning on the lights.
Same. Glad to know my hunch wasn't too far off
@@DontcareBear2049 Most capacitors are in circuits that will bleed off any stored voltage. And sometimes, like in old CRT televisions that had up to 27,000 volts going to the CRT, there are bleeder resistors to do just that.
Anything of value to melt in them??
@@DeanG55 Just the outer case. The inside will be mostly 2 strips of foil separated by a paper insulator wound up like an old 35 mm film canister...
@@user-nd3lx1zg9t Never assume the bleeder resistors are still connected or working, many people have been killed by the huge Capacitors in old B&W TV's even years after they were last plugged in because the resistors failed and the Capacitors were never drained...
Touch the wrong thing and BANG! the next thing you know is St. Peter is tapping you on the shoulder asking for your name at the Pearly Gates...
As someone with arachnophobia, I really appreciate spider warnings! I love relaxing while watching these videos, so being able to skip that kind of thing is great.
Im not even arachnophobic or something, but Spiders still kinda gross me out.
I was just coming to the comments to say the same thing. I can't think of another video that had warned before showing spiders.
As an arachnophobe myself, I do wish there was a definitive audible indicator that those demon spawn weren't on my screen anymore cuz I find myself looking at the floor for 30 extra seconds to be sure lol
@@Lightningbud7 I seriously don't understand the fear of spiders..
@@Alterax-Nivada It's usually an event that happens as a child that causes fears. I have a friend that's still afraid of cotton balls to this day because their sister stuck a part of one up their nose when they were 4. I just happened to have a spider bite me when I was young and now don't really care to see them lol
As someone witch arachnophobia I really appreciate that you give a spider warning.
Now I only have myself to blame for giving me a panic attack...
Well do not stress my friend any videos I put out from now on I will add that warning as I don’t like to upset people I want them to enjoy the melting experience👍🏻 and I’ll put that little spider emblem in the corner so you can cover up the screen with your hand and once that spider emblem has gone you know it’s safe to continue watching👊🏻😁
Gosh I was like it's not that bad and it was a whole spider. Thank you for that haha. I also have myself to blame for looking anyway so you are not alone!
I pretty much refuse to be near or touch spiders, but seeing them on a screen is completely fine with me. Idk why, maybe I don't really have arachnophobia and I just don't like them or maybe I do. Who knows?
@@myarmsrgone im the same, hell on screens i often find them kinda cute but if i see one irl then i try to kill it on sight (when the spider first appears in this video when it stares at bigstackd it little eyes are shining really cutely)
Baby is happy too :D
Had the pleasure one time of watching a "certified" welder try to weld a stainless steel plate to an aluminum tube. Had about the same results you had with the sheet.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Must've gotten his certification from a cracker jack box. LOL! Like half the people driving on the road these days.😅
He might very well have been Certified and Experienced...just not with Stainless Steel...many Welders rarely see the stuff outside of their kitchen appliances...Others, rarely see anything BUT Stainless Steel...it all depends on where they work...
Building firetrucks. They come in 2 flavors. Aluminum body, or stainless.
Believe me this can happen. I've been given small light castings by a customer and told it's stainless only to find it's some weird ali alloy. You know the second you hit it with a DC tig. It's not always so easy to identify metals if it's so small that you can't feel it's weight
I like how nothing seems to go to waste. And the process of turning a finished product back to a raw commodity, is pretty cool to watch.
Another fine effort. Aluminium melts are still my favorite. I've said it before but an underappreciated portion of your videos is the disassembly of what you find. I find that just as entertaining as seeing the process of melting and the sight of liquid metal. Thanks again for what you do. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I just gotta see how many different kinds of socks he can find! :P
dude...he is meticulous...I love it
No better way to start the weekend than with a bigstackD video!!
A merry Christmas to you, Bullion, & Ingot! May the New Year bring you happiness and good health.
Bullion & Ingot 🥰🥰🥰
I’m not sure what I find more satisfying. Watching copper freeze. Or watch the aluminum slag scooped out of the crucible.
You using the temperature gauge to find the coldest drink possible is hilarious to me
"Flathead screws should be outlawed"
I'm not one to call for more laws unless absolutely necessary... this is *absolutely* necessary
I was thinking about this when watching the vid. Flathead screws might be useful when you don't want the screw over-tightened?
oil exists for a reason or two bud
Most of these had a 1/4" hex head, so an impact driver would make quick work of them. Still don't know why flathead screws are still in use.
@@Majima_Nowhere Probably just to annoy salvagers/scavengers when they dismantle the treasures they find.
I want to ask, how did you get into this sort of stuff? Like the whole breaking down stuff and casting it? It looks really cool and interesting to be honest!
how everyone gets into doing something, they try it once and they get addicted
He probably got into it just like how I did. See something online about it and the rest is history.
Coming from a scrap-metal list standpoint sometimes I make more money by breaking down the equipment versus taking it in whole for example I have found that a refrigerator can sometimes have aluminum as well as copper and steel if I was to take it in whole I would lose money on the aluminum and the copper
Everyone has dreams, hobbies and an artistic eye for things but they don't have the courage to pursue the things that they love... Except my man BigStackD
Big d is actually an off world Jawa who got his license to scrap from the MiB
Shoutout to Mrs bigstackD casting, letting him have his hobby that clearly has overtaken the garage and one small room in the house 😂 my girlfriend gets mad at me trying to stockpile some scrap metal for when I want to melt
BigD..., I've been noticing over the last few videos, that you're slowly "revealing" yourself to us. Absolutely love that you're wearing the respirator & full eye protection, and together they do also provide some "protection" from revealing your face to us.
Very subtle, very subtle!
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your progress & growth, since I found your channel, over 2.5 years ago.
Stay safe, stay well, stay thirsty, my friend!
Merry Christmas & have a wonderful New Year!
Я всегда смотрю твои видео в конце рабочей недели и расслабляюсь под пивко!!! Тебе и Мопсам привет из России))
In one way , you are a real ecologist. Great meltery
I showed your videos to my parents to prove to them that taking metals shop in high school will actually get me somewhere in life. Thank you
Wishing you, your family and the boys a very Merry Christmas D.
Also, a healthy and prosperous New Year!
Big melt this week. So much slag in that aluminum. Thanks for re-locating the spiders. I love it when you're melting longer pieces of aluminum that you push down in the crucible and they appear to melt like butter. Take care and see you next week. 💙✌️
Спасибо Братишка! И тебе всего самого доброго! Не болеть всей твоей семье!!!
Great video, so glad we got another great bit of metal melting to watch over the holidays. Merry Christmas to everyone 👍😃🎄
Merry Christmas 🎅
Merry Christmas BSD. Thanks for the entertainment all year, hope you have a fabulous 2022!
Stumbled upon this video (for a BigStackD sleeping playlist, your videos help me fall asleep in the positive way) and I want to thank you for being humane to the spiders you came across, it feels so good to see other people caring about animals even if they look like creepy crawlies. Big fan of spiders myself. Amazing video as always and will be waiting for more for sure👍Cant wait for you to reach your 1T goal
Merry Christmas BigStackD!
Merry Christmas and happy new year bigstack can’t wait what you have for us next year for video ideas keep up the great work👍👍
You are a true hero by recycling the dirty stuff and converting it into something beautiful.... Plus recycling and reducing that wastage burden on nature
Thank you for another year of amazing content! Looking forward to 2022
I love copper pours. So satisfy! Much wow!
Been loving your vids for almost 2 years now, and thank you very much for the spider warning!! I know it's just a regular part of life for you but the arachnophobe in me really appreciates it :D
The whole breaking the alluminium sequence was so relaxing
Super Merry Christmas BigstackD!
I’ve enjoyed a lot of your videos in the past and this one was really well done! Thank you for the entertainment and merry Christmas! The work you put into this video was amazing. The amount of time you put into making this whole video was well worth it for me as a viewer! Cheers!
Cheers Matey 👊🏻😁🎄
A 30+ minute bigstack video? Merry Christmas, everybody. lol OMG "big aluminum butt" killed me. 🤣 So many spiders. I love the random shit he throws on the ice sometimes... XD Oooh, new shelf I spy? Very nice! Keep growing that stack!
I'm so glad I discovered this channel, this is ideal to play at work, it motivates me to get things done.
Я не понимаю почему НЕ могу оторваться от просмотра. C новым годом вас всех!
G’day BigStackD!
Happy Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for another awesome video.
Much love from (freezing cold) 🏴 🇬🇧
Thanks for doing another great video. I have learned allot about metal from your channel. Never knew about Nordic gold until I saw one of your melts making it. The sand casting is so cool to watch. It would be cools to see a huge sandcast brass gear with like a very unique spoke for the center.
Dude always has some top shelf snacks! Merry Christmas.
Here's hoping you and yours had a good Christmas mate. Thanks for all the terrific videos. Relax and enjoy a mid-strength beer
¡Gracias!
thanks again buddy I appreciate it 😁🎄👍🏻
@@bigstackD You're welcome dear friend, have a nice Christmas, greetings 👋🏻
Happy Friday and Merry Xmas D n.n hope it finds you and the boyos well :) Looking forward to an extra epic Friday/Xmas eve Melt and Drinks Wiv Da Boyz
I love the look of the flame when copper is melted so cool .
Thank you for the 5 second warning AND the little spider icon so that those that need to can skip it!
Can only imagine you with your own section at your buddys junkyard. Melting everything in sight. That would be a bloody thing to behold! Think that'd ever be possible? "Bigstack D - Trash to treasure!" Make a whole series on it just as you do now. lol
Just move into the Scrapyard...build his own melting hut out of scrap steel and load the cast bars/coins into his truck every night to polish at home...
Just keep grabbing and melting, every day, all day then polish on the weekend...
Though, I'm sure Ingot, Bullion and his Wife might object to him being out of the house so much...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Woah! Nice
Merry Christmas, thank you for all the great melts!
Lovelly haul this weekend! Specially loved when you were breaking down the aluminium bits. Almost sounded like music. Could jam to that! Happy Christmas !!!
You probably answered this question 1000 times, but what's the plan when you reach 1000kg ? Move the goal post to 1500-2000 kg ? Re-melt everything into bigger bars ? I love your videos, they are are part of my friday morning ritual, I don't want them to end because you reached yout goal !
Yes mate I’ll definitely move the goalposts for sure. Basically I just wanted to have an achievable goal that I could get to over the next few years and I always wondered what 1000 kg of coins and bars would look like all piled up together👍🏻
I missed last Friday's video (I almost never miss but a lot of crap has been happening so I couldn't watch until yesterday) and I was thinking I'd be absolutely pissed if I died suddenly tomorrow and didn't get to see him reach the 1 tonne goal at least. 🤣not that I'd know it or anything, but still...lol it's like waiting for the next episode of your favorite TV show except the plot stays the same and never deviates but it never gets old or boring. 🤣
@@bigstackD so can we say you will be big-stacked for real when reaching 1T ?
(love your videos , it's like ASMR for eyes and ears
@@bigstackD Can you sell it all? I would be interesting to see what you would make on all of it
Thank you for the warning ⚠️ about the spider 🕷 much appreciated hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas 🎄
I love these videos but I am always scared he will show a spider, lol the warning helps!
Totally agree with you on the flat head screws!
Beautiful melt through ice block with the copper! So satisfying. Merry merry 🎄
Wonderful video.....the 3 cylinders you weren't sure of...I'm fairly certain were capacitors. if your tearing apart brand new electronics...make sure those buggers are always discharged...a very merry Christmas to you and yours!!
absolutely true, they will zap you real good if you're not careful. Also, these are dry film capacitors specifically, they most likely don't contain a lot of metal (it's foil with a very thin metal coating on it, much like how some food packages have shiny coatings on the inside).
Yep. Definitely capacitors.
I never would've guessed but I find it surprisingly entertaining watching the breaking down of all the different stuff you find! There are some stadium lights at a football field across the street that annoy us shining late into the night on game nights (they really interfered with us watching the geminoid meteor shower last week!) wouldn't mind melting them lol but wow what an aluminum haul!👍
is KFC at Christmas an Aussie thing too?🍗 (Heard of them doing that in Japan!)
Spiders 😱 not a fan of the creepy crawlies & man have we been about taken over by them this year! Dozens of black widows 🕸 rattlesnakes 🐍& lizards🦎 everywhere lately!
Love the long video! Especially on a cold, windy, rainy day like today 🌧
merry Christmas & happy new year to you too 😊
Mf just made my college entry essay's length comment
(Joke)
Best thing to watch on Christmas Eve!
Brilliantly crafted episode yet again. Merry Xmas and a happy new year.
You appear to have had a 8 legged stowaway with family, do you know what type it was? Have been certainly enjoying this channel. Great video as always!
I believe it was a black house spider which is weird because you very rarely find them in your house but they’re all around the house. They won’t kill you but you will be pretty messed up for awhile if you get bitten👍🏻
I’m curious how long a forge lasts? Also, do you notice a change in performance as the forge degrades?
he shows a video of him relining them every so often maybe once a year. i am sure the actually forge itself lasts years.
Relining the interior of his forge with refractory paint. :)
The insulation looks like it degrades, so presumably for a given temperature he will need more gas or he can get less temperature for a given gas flow.
Happy Holidays and well wishes from myself, friends, and my co-workers here in New England US! Stay safe, and have fun!
Love this channel; I look forward to Fridays when you come out with new videos! I’ve also been binging all your old videos too. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve always wondered how long it takes from when you pour, until the metal freezes.
Merry Christmas!
normally with the aluminium it will freeze after about 10 or 20 seconds but once the mold becomes superheated it can take two or three minutes sometimes longer for it to solidify👍🏻. copper normally takes only seconds as as well as brass and bronze ,aluminium bronze etc but this can stretch out a little bit longer if the mold becomes superheated as well.
@@bigstackD I believe the aluminum solidifies slower because it has a (relatively) much lower melting point and can therefore be heated to a higher temperature above it’s melting point
Has anyone else noticed that our mysterious melter is showing a little more of himself with each video? Just me?
Love the videos man! As soon as finances allow, I want to begin melting stuff myself!
Merry Christmas to you and yours, man!!! ... And a joyous new year for all y'all!
This was awesome! Thanks for the big melt, that copper bar was gorgeous!
An explanation for the three tubes next to the transformer: These could have been capacitors. You need something like that to provide electrical reactive power for the transformer.

What is the nastiest bug found in your scrap digging? Ever?
Merry Christmas and thank you for the video!
Merry Christmas. Love all the content
I really am curious, how much the initial investment is on these huge melts? The gigantic motor melt, then this big old light, those didn't come free.
IIRC, he gets it free from the scrapyard as long as he destroys or recycles it completely, no exceptions.
Thoughts on giving a all aluminum engine a try.
Mybe go out to a known shooting range were people brig fridges and random stuff they dont want.
He’s in Australia bro. The people who were smart enough to keep their guns when the gov’t tried to buy them back are not out shooting right now with the massive Covid restrictions.
I think he does motors more often because the casings are thinner and easier to break down. It would take him FOREVER to break down an engine into bits small enough to fit in his crucibles because an engine is solid and sometimes multiple inches thick in some places. The cost of using saw blades to cut through it would be high, too. I'm sure he would if he had a bigger forge, though!😎🤙
@@TheRisskee na just get a diamond chain cutting machine and it will sip right through it.
Also they run for anywhere from cheap 350 to the good will work tell your grandchildren can still use it ah 1,100.
Also I think it would be fun to watch him do this.
If he does just decide to get a bigger forge then it should be fun to watch him try out something a little new and see how well it goes.
Watching that joint sweat out the molten aluminum was crazy pants.
Man, I love this melting procedure.
Australia is looking awfully New Mexico or Arizona. Especially the plates on the car you didn't edit out of your video. That's also a ton of American brands for Australia. Interesting :-)
As far as I know New Mexico and Arizona don't have Swap n Go BBQ gas tanks
thx for the vid. what happens when you reach 1 ton? do you sell the stack and restart or do you continue to grow it?
Suppose he adds a zero behind the 1 and continues on.
i hope we will see something special for the last 1 kg, like gold or maybe electrum smelt :)
@@Drakuba Since Gold has about the same melting point as copper, that would technically be feasible, but it would also be very expensive.
I was just wondering the same thing. It has probably been asked and answered several times but I have missed it. Love the videos.
Mathias65 Basically I just wanted to have an achievable goal that I could get to over the next few years and I always wondered what 1000 kg of coins and bars would look like all piled up together👍🏻, I will definitely keep going and I honestly have no idea what the hell I’m gonna do with it all but it’s a very rewarding hobby and I’ll just keep moving the goalposts and building that stack as big as I can👍🏻
Aaah a nice long melt vid, great holiday gift.
Merry crimbo to you and your family (including the dogs) and thank you for such epic content over the years. Hands down the best TH-cam channel
I’ve also got a question. I saw you had to weigh your find before taking it home and doing your thing. How much were they charging you? Hopefully not much since it was scrap and all.
It costs him 2 asd per kilo
You should start selling coins I bet there are many who are interested in buying after all this kind of merch will suit you best
I love the vids, i love to watch the entire process. And i think its crazy, of all the videos of yours i've watched. This is the only one that shows ur head
Great Video! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family
BigstackD you definitely take breaking down and melting metal to the next best level!!!
Awesome work as always.
Merry Christmas bigstackD and the boys. Give them Christmas belly scritches from me.
An awesome melt! Your boys are so cute! Merry Christmas 🎄‼️
Thanks for the early Christmas gift! Hope you have a great holiday weekend
And a Merry Christmas to you and your family!
One of your best. Thanks!
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄
This is so satisfying.
Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the spider warning and the little spider icon in the corner. It's brilliant and super clever. Thank you so much!!
Merry Christmas to you, Ingot and Bouillon. And of course the Mrs too.
Many great things with this vid. Excellent!
And a very happy Christmas to you!
What a nice addition to the stack! Merry Christmas and a Happy Boxing day to you guys!
By far this my new favorite channel. You’ve gained a subscriber!
Merry Christmas to you and the boys!
Merry Christmas! Great video, as always.
Merry Christmas and happy new year
Merry Christmas bigstackd
The massive aluminium piece first sweating and then succumbing to the heat (17:54) was the money shot in this episode!
