Hey there all you beautiful people how are you all on this lovely day? Now today I show what can be made from scrap crap that was metal detectored and dug out of the dirt and with just a bit of time and effort (and a furnace) you can make some real treasure. It's crazy to think this would've been in the dirt forever if me and my friend hadn't of come along but now it sits proudly up on my shelf for everyone to enjoy. A nice mirrored bar & a little Egyptian plaque for the stack today so sit back take a load off and enjoy today's video. Have an awesome safe weekend and I hope to see you all next Friday😃👋🏻
The video uploads at exactly at 1 p.m. while I am going to start with my lunch ! I am from India and I love your videos and super excited for your target to complete and awaits for a new one ! Love from India 🇮🇳
Not sure if you've ever seen the mummy with brendan fraser but would be cool to remake the book of the dead through melting down and casting it! Watch every Friday after work from the UK! 💪🏻
Great video. I loved the plaque. It looks amazing. If you ever make one to sell…I’d buy one. Well unless the price wold be $$$. Then i will admire from afar. Live confidently and peacefully
22:53 is a great demonstration of how plate tectonics works. Convection drives the crust on the surface, constantly creating new crust as well as subducting it back in the mix in other areas. The places it piles up against the edge of the crucible is how mountains are formed. Where the plates collide.
I like the way u organise the slag dust and offcuts to be melted later. Great bars and the golden shine really got me. Awesome video and thanks for the effort to putting this videos together
I love your videos - I look forward to them every week! May I recommend when you make your molds and create the pour holes, carve a small funnel shape around them with a knife or trowel to make it easier to pour your metal into? I've seen this on other channels, seems to help make pours go smoother. Can't wait for next week!
Congratulations on your success! It has been a pleasure watching your metal pile grow along with your channel. I can't wait to see what you have in store for the 1 ton melt so close!
I'm pretty sure he's dragging his. ass. I suggested he sells or Auction the shiny pieces with his logo possible small 3 6 word mmessage.message.. something like that. I'd buy a bar of Alum. and brass. What do you think.
BigstackD! I used to watch your channel all the time! Just wanna say thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world that is French bulldogs. I am happy to announce I now have a frenchie if my own! I named him François of course 😂 anyways kinda unrelated to scrap but thnks again and your videos are awesome!!!
bigstackD- this was by far the most interesting subject matter that you have melted. That is a lot of awesome junk to find. Your dry witted humor gets me rolling on the floor, it reminds me of the good old Loony Tunes. Cheers Mate!! Earl
Best of both worlds... mirror finish and perfectly imperfect. I think it really adds to the plaque that it wasn't perfect. Looks more realistic. Thanks for helping mama earth by helping clean her up. Cheers
Oh, honestly BigD! What did I do to you for you to tease me so. Once again you create an amazing Egyptian piece of work that I want and can not have. First with the Staff Piece from Raiders, then the Ankh's now a beautiful Horus piece. BigD you big, big tease. Lovely melt, and trash to treasure boon. Well done again.
Got quite a chuckle when you showed the artifact at the 3;18 minute mark. I've seen a number of these before here in Canada. They were made from old gas light fittings and were used as a 'special purpose' pipe. Its a coincidence I'm sure, but it is also 38 C here in Canada, minus 38 C that is. Been watching your vid's for a few months now, enjoy them, and have learned a lot.
Wild looking reaction to the borax. Would be happy to trade some 12°F for your temps. Quite an interesting build this week. Thanks for sharing this video. Cheers
Great melt, turned out awesome. Love the camera work, flame swirl and Flux bubbling. I agree with others, more puppy time is needed. Glad to see the pups running around at the end in other videos. Army SE Oregon USA
@@bigstackD 😁, I looked it up, you are right, the knuckle is "shank" in danish, but the same piece of pork, I actually saw some in the local grocery store yesterday, (you made my dinner choice for today 😆)
It will be great to see your smelting area finished. You've put a lot of hard work into this. And we all want to see you achieve your goals. Great melt. I really liked the ancient Egyptian plaque of Houris.
4:20 same effect like an empty 9by19 shellcase filled with water thrown into liquid brass or a life 223 round got heated. Always be careful with molten metal. Thank you for the information!
I just started watching this today and as you are turning on fans, I'm turning on heaters. Day started at 26 degrees (-3 C) and is down to 14 F (-10 C) and we supposed to go down to -8 F (-22 C). That furnace melting metals would feel so good right now.
Nice melt, liked seeing those brass bars double melted and cleaned up. It was a great idea mirroring thoae out after the second melt. You're at 100f and I'm sitting here at -14f ( -25.5 C ) , I dont know which I'd prefer to be honest. Take care.
Have you ever tried sifting the sand over the piece you are casting to get finer details? Just enough to get it in the smaller places, then you finish filling it like you normally would. It's something I learned in a shop class when I was in Junior High School.
This past Saturday, the fourth, was my birthday. I turned 62! Bloody huzzah!! I would like a shout out, if you could, sir. I have been watching you for a bit over three years now. I'd love to see you cast a Bear out of brass. It's my power animal, ya know.
My boyfriend and I look forward to your videos every Friday! We watch them with our 6 month old daughter. We love watching your antics (especially bigsnackD)
At 9:15 when fire popped up and right after that you lite the fire... I damn near jumped across the room... I laugh every time I think about it.... Awesome Video...
I wonder if it might not be time to look into getting an ultrasonic cleaner for parts like these. Not only will it make it easy to identify parts without grinding, it would probably eliminate a lot of the impurities before you melt for cleaner slag.
That was again a good cast m8 , cant wait for the next time! O could you cast such a doll in one of your next clips ? I think that that would be a awsome cast! Greetings from the Netherlands!
Love the look of these bars. After casting a few bars of copper and brass. I am with you on the whole rough look. Gives it that less refined look. Putting the mirror finish gave it a more machined look. I stamped and did just a light clean up. Very happy I had your content to look back on. Very happy to have all the hints and tips you give and resources you provided. Thank you so very much. Keep going!!! Does your handle on your furnace get too hot for your gloves?? Mine gets very very hot. I forged a hook into my stir bar to lift it up the covers.
Fantastic melting, as per usual. I do wonder about washing the metals that are dug up and such. Put them in a 5 gallon bucket with some steel balls and water then tumble or shake the bucket. Just trying to reduce the enormous amount of slag that comes with those types of meltdowns.

Thank you . Have a blessed weekend 😇
Just wondering, do you check Emergency WA every time you go to melt for like the fire bans and do you agree with the new fire danger rating.
please melting copper water gain weight metal 🙏🙏🙏
What was on the menu for bigsnackd?
Is it weird that I cheer for a #8 crucible everytime?
;)
Been looking forward to this all week!
Thanks BigstackD
You know your sleep schedule is messed up when you're an American awake 5 minutes after bigstackD uploads to watch his newest video
That's me right now lol need to be sleep but saw he uploaded and was like another video won't hurt lmao
"one more video then bed" I'm on my third 'one more video'
I have BigstackD time accounted for in my Thursday night sleep time.
Have to have a different schedule: midnight shifts require it.
I'm a night owl, go to sleep for 4 hours and I'm good.
I like the little imperfections on the Hourus plaque; they make it look more antique and authentic~
The gifts are amazing. This kind of following comes from hard work and being a solid bloke that people identify with.
I think those imperfections in the plaque make it look more legit than a perfect cast would look. Getting close to the magic number!
There’s something therapeutic about watching bigstack.
Awesome Video...Awesome Melt...Awesome Gifts. 👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍
5:54 estos detaalles hermosos hacen que ame tu canal. muchas gracias por ese detalle eres una persona increible
My GF and I love the videos. But I think her favorite parts are the BigSnackD. So thank you for always being sure to feed the need.
I love watching you so much, you are so creative, your friend from Egypt 🇪🇬❤️👍
Awesome video and awesome fan mail gifts thanks for sharing bigstackd
The video uploads at exactly at 1 p.m. while I am going to start with my lunch ! I am from India and I love your videos and super excited for your target to complete and awaits for a new one ! Love from India 🇮🇳
Thank u for the dedicated pup time in your videos. It’s appreciated. 😈🤙🏼🥰
Not sure if you've ever seen the mummy with brendan fraser but would be cool to remake the book of the dead through melting down and casting it! Watch every Friday after work from the UK! 💪🏻
Making it actually work with turning wheels and so....fck yeah🤘 that would be the coolest item in his vault🤩🤩🤩
@@palledrengens Vault that's funny.
Great video. I loved the plaque. It looks amazing. If you ever make one to sell…I’d buy one. Well unless the price wold be $$$. Then i will admire from afar. Live confidently and peacefully

That’s crazy! I’ve never actually seen an example of it that wasn’t a cartoon depiction. Lol
Watching the little green flame poomf up and then watching the flame spin was rather cool to watch. Always happy to see a new bigstackD video!
Love the green color of that flame...amazing!
I love it how you get the dogs in every video you make. They make the videos a little more entertaining
I like the way u organise the slag dust and offcuts to be melted later. Great bars and the golden shine really got me. Awesome video and thanks for the effort to putting this videos together

It is fun to take trash and turn it into treasure and share the experience with the world. Awesome video. Thank you for sharing. Cheers 🍻
My best laugh this week when you cleaned your hand on the underside of the shelf. Good stuff here Sir!
These metal detected trash to treasure melts are always my favorite.
The so “ called “ imperfections makes it look ancient… so cool!! Thanks for another awesome video including those rock star pups!!
Been watching for a couple of years now and your videos are an after work ritual on Fridays.
BigstackD! I used to watch your channel all the time! Just wanna say thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world that is French bulldogs.

Привет с Якутска. Очень залипательные у вас видео. Обожаю смотреть ваш канал. Жду ещё ваших работ.
Love the concept, can't wait to see the melt of the rest of the bucket 🥰🥰🤘🔥
I always love the extra doggy time at the end

I love watching the green flames dance around. The plaque came out really nice.
New vid just in time for lunch. When bigstack time coincides with bigsnack time, it's always a good time.
3:16 looks like someone ditched their pipe so they didn’t get caught with it 😂 either that or lost it 😢
I absolutely love watching you and the kids! Been watching for awhile now and it never gets old. Thank you
your vids are my meditation. The art is it's own reward, even vicariously
Man, sorting through a big cache of junk is so satisfying. Genuinely one of my favorite activities.
Your beautiful, cool dogs are just so cute and adorable
I think that's the first time I've ever seen you use Borax and it "do its thing". Neat!
Oh, honestly BigD! What did I do to you for you to tease me so. Once again you create an amazing Egyptian piece of work that I want and can not have. First with the Staff Piece from Raiders, then the Ankh's now a beautiful Horus piece. BigD you big, big tease. Lovely melt, and trash to treasure boon. Well done again.
That’s what I do!
I’ve gotta all you beautiful people interested in someway🤔
Thanks for the videos man! We them on at work here in Japan.
Waited 8 hours again and BOY was it worth it
Loved seeing the green Aurora Borealis during the melt 👌
Very enjoyable video as always man. 👍 Cheers from Cincinnati, Ohio
You know that it’s gonna be a good weekend when bsD uploads!!!!
Every single weekend my man!
So every weekend is a good weekend
The colors at 10 minutes are weirdly beautiful, but 22:45 was mesmerizing…

Gives me a good idea how hot those molds got when I wear similar gloves for welding! 🔥
That is Very Cool, i Cant Wait for The Next Friday for your Awesome Videos ❤️
You're lucky to have that tropical weather. It's freezing cold 🌨️🌨️🥶🥶 where I live. But besides that, great content as always. 👍👍
Great melt, turned out awesome.
Love the camera work, flame swirl and Flux bubbling.
I agree with others, more puppy time is needed.
Glad to see the pups running around at the end in other videos.

Was that a pork shank?, you got ME hungry right there 😋😋🍴, and thank you for awesome content as always, greets from Denmark 🇩🇰
Not sure if it was a pork shank as it is called a pork knuckle over here👍🏻
@@bigstackD 😁, I looked it up, you are right, the knuckle is "shank" in danish, but the same piece of pork, I actually saw some in the local grocery store yesterday, (you made my dinner choice for today 😆)
It will be great to see your smelting area finished. You've put a lot of hard work into this. And we all want to see you achieve your goals. Great melt. I really liked the ancient Egyptian plaque of Houris.
Cheers mate. Yeah the new melting area will be finished by next month. But if all goes as planned it might even be finished in a couple of weeks👍🏻
Awesome stuff mate 👍
4:20 same effect like an empty 9by19 shellcase filled with water thrown into liquid brass or a life 223 round got heated.
Always be careful with molten metal.
Thank you for the information!
I just started watching this today and as you are turning on fans, I'm turning on heaters. Day started at 26 degrees (-3 C) and is down to 14 F (-10 C) and we supposed to go down to -8 F (-22 C). That furnace melting metals would feel so good right now.
From trash to treasure... my favorite. ☺💙
Wow nice haul from the mail call. I wish shipping were cheaper!
It's always a great satisfaction to find scrap metals...n the best is u can transform it however you want
Very addictive!!!
Great video my friend
As always a great video.
Another wonderful melt. I must admit I slowed down the playing time during the scrap sorting. It’s my thing!
Will you be melting that whole container? 😄 Great vid, I love these dirty melts
Parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏, um verdadeiro tesouro o que vc forja, os 2 dogs 🐾🐾 beautiful, 🎁 beautiful, e a linda Austrália 🇦🇺.
I love the green flames, reminds me of a witch fire!
Witch fire 🤔. Now your reminding me of my sister
You could film 53 minutes of your lovely Doggos and 53 seconds of actual metal casting and I guarantee you I’d still watch!
great vid once again stackd man i dont think ill ever tire of watching u melt some metal
Nice melt, liked seeing those brass bars double melted and cleaned up.
It was a great idea mirroring thoae out after the second melt.
You're at 100f and I'm sitting here at -14f
( -25.5 C ) , I dont know which I'd prefer to be honest. Take care.
Another awesome video. I can’t wait to see what you do on the other side of that shipping container.
Yep 2:09 am here and I say yes can't wait to watch the melt and dogs of course
Good morning BSD(absolute legend), I'll be watching this with coffee as I always try to do.
another great vid. love the horus plaque
22:30 is a perfect example of plate tectonics.
Очень интересно у вас получается! Лайк и подписка! Всем здоровья! Мира и добра всем читателям! Ассалам Алейкум!!
Does brass have a higher melting point than copper? It always seems like brass hardens faster and almost before it's fully poured out.
It's way too early for me to be awake, but my day is starting with Bigstackd. Cheers from Ohio. 🚂
Amazing the plaque came out to a perfect kilo. And those little imprefections make the plaque more realistic. Awesome!
Amazing the aluminum container that the ham hock was in didn’t melt lol. Much love Botha I can’t wait till 1 tone
Have you ever tried sifting the sand over the piece you are casting to get finer details? Just enough to get it in the smaller places, then you finish filling it like you normally would. It's something I learned in a shop class when I was in Junior High School.
Interesting video, I like watching you recover stuff, scrap to treasure is very cool 👍

I'm hoping it gets to 40 degrees this weekend so I can melt also lots of copper to melt great video bro thanks
Your snack today looks amazing.😍
Thanks for sharing your journey to a tonne.
And especially for being kind to animals. 🙂
I LOVE how you write the value in soo many currencies. Thanks for another great content! Ceers mate! Greeting from Romania

Yes the handles get very hot and you can’t open it or move the furnace once you’ve been running for a little while
What a curious melt!! Nicely done with the castings!! 💫
Them long flat ones that went in first batch are harmonica reeds. I find them when metal detecting. Some pretty cool releases in that stuff you have.
Another great video I'm always excited for Friday morning watching from west Virginia
I can't help but be reminded of those I spy books from back in the day. Great upload!
as always .... great content
The suspense for that 1000kg mark is killing me lol
Fantastic melting, as per usual. I do wonder about washing the metals that are dug up and such. Put them in a 5 gallon bucket with some steel balls and water then tumble or shake the bucket. Just trying to reduce the enormous amount of slag that comes with those types of meltdowns.
I would love to see how a bar will look like if you use all kind of metals
nice thank you for sharing the adventure and information 😀
