- I melted down an armored cable and poured some copper and aluminum cubes. Nothing fancy, but a fun melt all the same. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it.

Thank you for another great video.
Like your sense of humor also.
Dude a freakin shelf of treasure, how cool is that
Best camera.
Great Melt!!👍😁
Good upload wee change blocks
👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻Enjoyed it.
Very nice 👍
Keep it going, love the clocks bro 😎🇺🇸🔥
Love the video and the music.
Thank you Sinaka!!
Thanks for the video...........
Nice to see those bars at the end! Well done!
This guy shoves cubes of red hot metal into blocks of ice. He knows what the people want.
so therapeutic, I really enjoy these videos, I'm even refusing other melting suggestions and only watching yours lol.
NICE! I love copper melts.😍
Great video. I watched all of it
Cubes are cool.
Watching the cube molds heat up following the pours *really* does something for me. :)
Same here Tony 👍
The skulls are awesome. I think I found a new hobby I’m interested in now 😂. Thanks lol
I did the same thing, got started and now I can’t stop! 👍👍👍
Looks like it can be very fun and relaxing and very hot and dangerous at the same time lol.
Well done as always.
Man I love your videos! Can’t wait for my crucible and furnace to arrive! Very excited to learn more and get started! Your stack inspires me and hope to stack up alongside of you! I’m 26 and getting started now! I absolutely LOVE the mirror finish pieces! Can’t wait to do some of my own!!
Thank you, you’re awesome! You’ll have to send me pics once you get going. I should have a new video up today with some nice shined up pieces 👍
Wow that was a serious piece of cable you had there good clean chunky copper VERY NICE great score and great pours thanks for the video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁😁😊😊
Thanks Patrick! 👍👍
Some more great melts, awesome
If you run those large pieces twice in the stripper top bottom the jacket will fall off no fighting
That is a fantastic idea. Why didn’t I think of that!? This is why I need you here 😃👍
Awesome copper and aluminum cubes done an excellent job thanks for sharing
I love Metal. That is all.
Aha a long anticipated video of a master at his craft. You have turned a boring piece of trash and convert it into a artisan set. Well done to you sir. Now take all the cubes and ingots and build a nice patterned wall or something. Great work and thank you.
Thank you sir!! I got so buried last week that I couldn’t even melt, I’m going to try and find a way to remedy that and get back on track. I don’t like missing a week. It really pains me not to melt and create a video of it to share. Thank you as always and give my love to you and your family!!
its nice when the copper is clean makes for beautiful pours those look great in the stack
It really is! I love clean copper wire like that.
Thanks Dana!
Its so cool how the cubes turned red hot when you poured copper !! LOL you must of been reading my mind. I was thinking, how come he wont mirror shine one of them ? LOL Ohhh yeah purrty shiny shiny !! Great video, thanks for sharing !!
Damn i love to watch this donno why... Thanks :)
Those are nice!!
Thank you Leslie!!
Should definitely make your own copper Jenga blocks (Or half copper half aluminium ). That would look insanely awesome
That would be pretty sweet. I actually bought a Jenga set that’s on the bottom of the shelf that I’m going to try and make one of these days 👍
This is another awesome episode! I love that splitter. I bought a case for my treasures and now I need to paint or decorate it. I will email pics when I’m done.
Thanks Irish!! I can’t wait to see it! Have a great day!!
You should drill them into dice. That'd be awesome.
The copper sheaving around the large cable was a bit of a bonus, for sure! 👍
I'd be tempted to want to make one of those copper cubes into a more accurate cubic shape as well as polishing it and, perhaps, like seen elsewhere have the atomic number and chemical symbol placed on it.
I was tempted too, but the amount of material to chunk off 😬
Actually just yesterday I was trying to use a laser engraver at the office to put the periodic table info on it. I need some Cermark spray though that I won’t have until Tuesday.
Grow that stack 💪
Thanks brother!!! 👍
Those were some really nice cables. Love the cubes, they are fun to pour
Thanks Wulf! They really were, I’ve been staring at that cable for a year now just waiting to melt it.
nice job :)
I dig your srine of copper skulls an ingots
Always fun seeing new pours. I used to do a lot myself using a charcoal furnace I made myself.
Some primo copper. Very nice.
Thank you Skuller!
This is Soo KooooL
So that's what worms will look like in another planet
FYI: They look better without polishing.........🤩
id say a huge success on the mirrored cube!! always cool to see what ya got going on and what you use and melt.. be well my friend and always be safe.
I appreciate this job that you do the like is deseverd 😎✌️
Thanks Michel! 👍
“What am I doing?” Then comes the wire stripper!! Totally hilarious! Another fantastic video from the one and only “GROWINGSTACK!!” THAT MIRROR FINISH CUBE IS EPIC!!!
Thanks brother! I hope you’re doing awesome!
💪💪💪
Медяшка очень сильний.👍👍👍
Man, I love melting copper. One of my favorite metals to work with. Too bad it's so pricey.
Really? I get it for free, just have to snip power cords and look out for stuff being tossed out.
@@vincedibona4687 I have a white collar job and I work from home. My brother in law used to be able to get me some from plumbing jobs, but since the prices have gone up its harder and harder to come by.
@@KrakenCasting I find appliances with power cords all the time. Snipped two on the way home from work today, as well as snagged a "dorm fridge" off the side of the road. People don't stop throwing things away, and they have no idea what those things can be worth. I love seeing a brass bed being thrown away!
@@KrakenCasting Try looking at apartment complexes trash sites, people are forever throwing things away that live in those places.
I am still amazed on how simple metal melting is sooo interesting and entertaining to me and obviously many more people.
God you need bigger tongs to get some distance when putting the copper into the crucible :o
Niiiiiiice 👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍😎👍
👍👍👍😃😃😃
All that nice crap just sitting there At scrap prices right now you got a few $1000 right there
Nice pour man , goin on my abbo list next to bigstackd:)
Funky how the wire was melting from the top down, I don’t remember seeing any other melts dripping from the top like that
pushed that old burner a little too far in one of those melts?
Nice to see a new vid buddy!
Great pour today!
Nice length of cable!
Yielded many cool copper blocks, and a few aluminum too! (more aluminum than I thought)
Thanx for a great vid! 😄
Thanks Captain! It was a cool cable to melt.
Kind of sad to see it go to tell you the truth of it.
👍😃
Well, what took you so long to melt that thing!?! It's awesome! What else are you hiding in that garage of yours? Detailed instructions on an a beautiful girly project? With flowers or boats and dolphins??? 🤣😂😜
Very much like bigstackd, without the dogs, beer and food. 👍
Yeah he should add food+beer that would be dope
it's just a ripoff channel
@@alexanderwoolley1623 Bigstackd didn't invent the wheel, he just put it on camera 😎
Only reason this looks like a rip off is because there's very little channels dedicated to smelting, just look at all the farming and metal detecting channels, they're all very similar because they're all about the same thing. lol

I just wander what needs so much current that this is needed and there is thicker to

Спасибо!
I want to drink the copper it looked yummy i don't know why
The forbidden orange juice 😂👍
Mmmm, cubes. Especially love the one that you polished up all the way around. Btw, where'd you get your crucibles and molds again...PMC Supplies? Gonna check with bigstackD as well to see if he got his from a different supplier so I can cross reference prices & reviews.
I do get my crucibles from PMCsupplies. Most molds too. I have gotten the little coin molds from ArtByAdrock. These cubes I got from Amazon. 👍👍

@@TheGrowingStack Cool, thanks man, appreciate the info. Yeah I've seen Adrock's stuff but it's Way out of my price range at the moment....lol.
@@TheGrowingStack Got one of my crucibles in and gonna get the other 2 in a day or so, need info on prepping them for use....PMC didn't send instructions. Got the #6-8KG today, the other 2 will be 6KG crucibles
Coobs.
Why do you use the tool for adjusting shocks
That's a lot of pennies
I would like to have cables like that to scrap toooooo😳🤤...great job again !😎
Question, why did u have to replace ur burner ? Wasn't working properly ?
The scrapping n melting was fun to watch...love ur homemade music too
Ty n see you soon
Thank you Carl. Yeah, it was definitely a fun cable to tear down. I’m kind of sad to see it go to tell you the truth, it was such a beast leaning in the corner for so long.
So the burner… I noticed a couple of melts before I replaced it, the furnace in general was smelling kind of funny when I was melting. Almost like a weird chemical burning smell, not sure how to describe it, but one of those smells you know something isn’t quite right, ya know. The mouth of the burner is supposed to be flush with the inside wall; well since it had deteriorated so much and receded into the wall, it was still sending the flame like it should but it was also burning the inside wall of the ceramic wool directly. I had never thought to look at the burner on a regular basis to check its well being. Once I replaced it, back to normal. I’ll probably have to(and should anyways considering its condition) replace the entire wool lining and give it a fresh work up here pretty soon. 👍
I wonder if there's a trick to pouring aluminium to prevent them from just caving in like this.
The metal contracts as it cools, so the only way would be to control the cooldown temps. Easier to just make ‘em bigger and sand it down. 🤷🏻♂️
Just a question do you plan on continuing to grow your collection of poured metals or do you plan on selling them?
For now I just plan on growing it 👍
What camera was this shot with? That opening macro shot was insane!
Thank you! I shoot everything with an iPhone 13 Pro Max 👍
i never see copper rebon us on electrical cable
I have a question for you. Have you ever melted down steel cans from like vegetables or soups? How did that turn out for you if you did?
@@gstein123 thanks!
I made a video trying to melt steel bottle caps a while ago, it didn’t work out so well. I think Gavin has the right idea here. 👍
I thought that outer shell was steel. The cubes turned out nice...
How much weight was lost, by polishing the cu cube?
I’m not sure, I didn’t weigh that particular one before and after sanding & polishing.
Why do you need the gloves?

Where do get your molds from? I would like to get a cube.
I got these from Amazon:

Mate, where did you get the cube mold?
It’s a cool little mold for sure, and I didn’t think the price was bad at all 👍

If you are from the USA why you use kg and grams ?
Because it’s easier to say something like 90 grams vs 3.17466 ounces. I also started out stacking silver, and I have 31.103 grams burned into my brain as a Troy oz.
I know both very well, but I do think it’s just easier even though I live in the USA. 👍
I just bought the cube graphite mold for cheep on Amazon and they turn out nice.
But I’m having a problem getting copper to melt. I turn the propane pressure up to 1.2 and after 10-15 minutes the pressure automatically starts dropping and it never gets hot enough to melt it. I just got a new tank so it’s not that and the pressure gage is new also. So I’m stumped. Any advice?
You shouldn’t have any trouble melting copper at .012 MPa. Where are you located and your environment conditions? Not that it should matter that much, but I’ve had that problem when my tank starts to freeze and starts dropping pressure.
All that c😍pper!!! 🥰
how is that cable stripping machine is called?
Have you ever done G O L D ?
I haven’t yet but I would love to. I have done Silver, I’m working my way up to gold. Hopefully someday soon I can do a gold melt 👍
That intro🤘🤌 name?
Thanks Mason!
It’s a custom jam that’s my bro makes for me for each video 🤘🤘
@@TheGrowingStack as a fellow musician, he should definitely record that! Another great video as well!
