Hard to believe that all that metal on the shelf, if sold for scrap, would only be worth around $2,500 - $3,000. The big money is all the copper, followed by yellow brass. Aluminum isn't worth much.

@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan dont forget the starter, alternator, A/C (and the axillary A/C), possible aluminium wheels, trim, Catalytic converter and all that delicious wiring!
@@fisherman-ts1ls what? Where did you get that number? 359 humans if the iron from blood extraction is perfect. Even say no, it's not perfect, that's still nowhere near 300,000. We have .004 kg of iron in our bodies, according to Google.
all the trash in the world for the next *1000* years could be dumped in a *200* square mile landfill somewhere in the desert. the earth has *57,000,000* square mile of land. so in conclusion all of the earths trash for the next *1000* years could be stored in *.0003%* of the earths surface. so if what i claim is true, would you agree with me that recycling is a BIG waste of time, energy and money that achieves almost nothing in the grand scheme of things?
@@jasonsimms4238 it’s not so much about the space it takes up. It is very energy intensive to refine pure aluminum metal from the ground: costs a lot of electricity/fuel. Idk how much better it is re-melting on a small scale but that’s why nearly all aluminum is recycled
wow I miss working in the metal shop. I had the time of my life in 3 semesters of a Sculpture course (metal & wood), and this semester I'm in a state of perpetual dread & boredom painting and writing my capstone project. Very glad I found this channel!
A catering company never even dawned on me. What about holiday meals? I know we use the aluminum trays for everything. Genius idea for the catering company. Great video.
He should point out to them that not only is he willing to pick them up, but now they don't have to pay to have them hauled off and disposed of like they would if they just tossed them in the dumpster ($250.00+ each time the dumpster has to be emptied depending on it's size, the garbage company you use and the city your in)...
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan I don't know if he can melt all of the trays that the restaurant uses. That seems a lot more than what one guy could handle.
@@brokemage1395 As shown in this video, the trays compact very well with the suitable application of a hammer (a hydraulic press would admittedly be even more effective), and he has more than 1 forge to simultaneously melt them with so he could make a valiant effort... Maybe he could recruit the wife to help either prep the trays for melting or actually feeding the other forges while he's pouring the crucible from 1 forge...
The only thing is depending on company (MPM, detpak, marinucci, confoil) they might talk to big stack but I don't believe they will. Trust me after working along side them for this long it's hard enough to get faulty items replaced let alone just getting foil out of landfill. Maybe if he works alongside his regional/state council and says you put it aside for me and help with some gas bills perhaps, even then..
Technically the the aluminum is still there. One day it will end up in a landfill somewhere. Repurposing things doesn't prevent them from ending up in landfills.

We used to save all metal when I worked at my uncle’s flat roofing company. The yard at his shop had 3 piles. Aluminum,copper and steel. I remember bringing full dump truck loads to the recycling plant. They way the whole truck before and after to determine how much money you get.

Molten aluminum "is" red not because of a property of aluminum (like instead being shiny at room temperature) but because it is hot. That's called blackbody radiation. Basically a hot body emits light accordingly to its temperature. Starting from infrared (that's how your thermometer works btw) then to red, orange, white and blue. You can warm up all your metals at the same temperature and they will have the same color.
One of these days hes going to have so many bars he will end up filling up his whole house with em. And watch a documentary that comes out on him too 😂
@@MathewZ788 nope. Iron rebar is added to the concrete foundation to dampen tension and load. Iron rebar is added to the walls for the same reason, but only in concrete or brick construction. Wood frame houses have Iron rebar in the foundation, but none in the walls. The iron rebar doesn't actually make up any part of the actual structure. It's basically the same thing as adding rocks and aggregate to strengthen concrete.
@@SkunkApe407 Where I stay our houses have an iron or copper base and act as earthing as well. Our house's concrete is poured onto these bars for more tensile strength. Maybe its different where you live perhaps?
@@MathewZ788 as an Engineer and Surveyor, I can guarantee that your house is not framed with steel or copper. A concrete block home is built on a foundation. That foundation is either a monolithic stem wall or a footer.

Those bars are then supported by "back-filling", or pouring concrete into the "frogs", or hollows, in the blocks.

Close to a grand maybe a grand and a half. With the propane and the tools and the molds. I got my devil forge for like 500 or 600 the 10kg one.
@@nbelcher7 you can make a forge also
typical consumerist 1) watch youtube 2) get on ebay and load up your house 3) tell everyone you don't have the time but really would like to 4) repeat. Seriously if you're interested, you'll figure out the answer to all your questions yourself! ;)
I wanna say I appreciate your videos man. Going back and rewatching some of the older ones and stuff... you always add in nice tips and warnings for people who want to try this at home, and we get to see cute little shots of your two pups (and they are cute), and ou never insert unnecessary commentary or political views. Its just... nice to come here, watch a video of you smelting down some salvage for copper and aluminum, with the occasional pup interruption of you taking darn good care of your dogs.
First time watching. It’s mesmerizing. Kinda like every kid’s pirate fantasy come to life. 💕♥️💕
I can never imagine my neighborhood being so quite that I can only hear birds chirping and nothing else 😂
I live on a loop in a gated community so there is just no cars or traffic at all which also helps to the silence👌🏻
@@bigstackD that's nice... I'm happy for you 👍... My place is just the opposite... I can hear people chatting on the road in front of my apartment sometimes at 3 am.
I can only hear them in the morning before going to work just after sunrise
I love the schedule....
Need to get BigstackD Casting a poster that says:
"Keep calm and melt shit"
This makes me want to recycle. We should all start smithing our metal trashes into ingots.
I wish i had the tools
Where you get the expensive tool for melting😂😂
It cost more in gas per melt than the metal is worth. Lol
just take your metal to the recycler and save the expense of propane (unless you just want to do it )it'snot worth anymore as an ingot to the junk yard
This man has food in such random places,
*im taking notes*
4:55 Love how you just casually move your hand away even though it was on fire 😲
Guy from math test be like:
The so called short cut be like:

No beer sponsor yet? I'm very surprised...
Math is the easiest subject for me
@@yoigotit9204 the cool guy
It's funny how he always has his socks onn even after admitting the weather being so hot
My manager: So Dora, where did all the aluminum trays and foil go? We just re-stocked.
Me curled into a corner as the cashier who checked out 6k worth of aluminum: crazy Australian dude came in muttering about melting everything we had.
