- So while detecting with my good mates we came across a huge heavy rusty motor so i decided to take it home and break it open and melt everything i can from it .Check their channels in the links below👍
I Have well over 200 Vids so be sure to check 1 or 2 out if you have time on this link.

59 KG Motor Find and Melt - Real Trash To Treasure Copper Bush Bullion
Holes in Bar.
i believe the holes in the bar were from the copper freezing/solidifying while i was pouring as the holes only appeared on the end of the mold that the copper was poured directly into it would also help if the mold was super heat , no doubt im wrong but this is my guess. - บันเทิง

Best thing about these videos is there is no music or anyone talking
Exactly right José, there’s nothing worse than clicking on a video to watch some metal melting and they crank the techno crap music or talk shit for 10 minutes👌🏻😁
bigstackD Casting thanks for keeping it pure man! Cheers from, Houston Texas
EXACTLY !!!!
Exactly! I can't stand a video with some idiot blabbering "Umm...umm...umm..." 40,000 times! I don't want to hear the limited expanse of one's vocabulary; just sweet, simple, and to the point facts! Thanks BigStackD for all the straight forward videos! :-)
@@bigstackD Honestly that goes for any video on youtube. You see a topic that interests you, click on it and halfway through the first sentence you're exiting, thinking to yourself "Nope, not listening to that!"
Why is it every time I find a new thing on TH-cam I start binge watching it like a crackhead? Already been through like five of these and I'm hooked.
Hehe, same 😁 Check out a guy called Sreetips too, he refines and processes precious metals 😎
Pseudonayme 77 Yeah I've been down the scraping, forgeing and blacksmithing rabbit hole a few times already. Surprisingly I always find something new in it every time I come back to it. There are quite a few videos related to metalworks on youtube. I'm tempted to build a forge and foundry at home, it looks interesting and fun.
SBK Stóre I don't do Mac, I'm a pc guy so if I had one I wouldn't hesitate to do just that. I do have one of those giant obsolete Ipads though.
@@DeathBYDesign666 how about woodturning? I got fixed on by this...
Ironymus Yeah I've seen some woodturning vids too. It's interesting but I haven't seen one in a while.
There's guys that restore these finds then there's this guy xD
Lawful versus chaotic good
@@usererror7007 some people just want to watch the world burn
MrStormNation some people just enjoy watching other people burn the world
yeah, I usually watch the restoration guys but TH-cam for some reason thought I would like to see a motor get completely destroyed... I don't even know what you do with a bar of copper.
@@TravisFabel you sell it for lots of money or collect them
Funny how he starts by unscrewing everything then just takes a sledgehammer to it
that's because the screws can be a different type of metal
I was thinking the same thing, just bash the thing. Cast iron breaks easy.
@@johnnytightwad3784 well the things he did not bash would still need to come off being secured to the inner stuff.
Hey...If at first you don't succeed...Well then, Sky Diving wasn't for you.
its the aussie way.
I love at the start he's trying to unbolt everything and then "fuck it I'll just bash it with a hammer"
Man, TysyTube's gonna have a hell of a time restoring that one.

@@burgernthemomrailer Le'ts make a new one ;)
LOL
Just picked up a free generator. Got all the copper out. So it has started.
"It has begun! MORTAL KOMBAT! *bong crash*"
I stumbled across this guy making these videos about 2 days ago and now I can't stop watching them they're fascinating!
Yepp. That happens. Year later, wait till Fridays and it pops up on your suggestions. Awesome.
@@shiningstaer guess what day it is today?
hahaha
next time you should take the tag off the motor and rivet it to the ingot lol
I second this
I agree!
Lol I just said that up above guess I should have read the comments first lol.. but awesome idea
Still doable if he kept the label.
That's stupid.
I have never thought about melting metals, but being a person who would like to start recycling, I believe I'll start learning to skill.
It's not a good short term investment, long term if you pick the right metals, hodl them and wait for the arse to drop out of supply, then you could make some money if there's an issue in the supply.
Hi Anthony, sorry for the late reply mate but like Anton said two months ago and Chris just a while ago melting is just for fun as you would lose all profit in time and gas and you wouldn’t be able to sell your bars at the scrapyard anyway and if they did accept them you would not get any extra money for them.
@@bigstackD And then the great reset happens..its you who,s laughing now brother..🤔
I also get a kick out of how you don't know what alloy that one piece was, but you're gonna melt it anyway. "If it melts, I smelts."
Your puppy snorting when he gets excited is so cute lol
Everytime I see that wall my inner fallout character screams GRAB IT ALL

Hey guys I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did finding and breaking down this motor. It was a lot of work but definitely worth it and a very rewarding hobby. hey guys I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did finding and breaking down this motor.

The holes are similar to surface porosity holes in a weld. You're casting pure copper with no degassing. Copper loves to dissolve hydrogen and oxygen from the air, and as it cools, that hydrogen (and some of the unreacted oxygen) pops back out of solution and causes those voids. Your other bars have porosity as well, I've noticed. Get some anhydrous aluminum chloride and drop it into the bottom of your melt in some sort of graphite vessel. It sublimes, so it'll bubble up through the melt and pull the hydrogen out of solution. It'll deoxidize the cupric oxide floating around in the melt as well and create some aluminum oxide slag, but it won't mix with or contaminate the copper. It's the next best thing to casting in a vacuum chamber.
Here is a paper on the process:

From back in the day when the UK had a solid engineering sector, producing real products.
Aside from the casts themselves my favorite part of your work is how neat you keep your work space. I'm a neat freak as well and it's so satisfying to see you go after every speck no matter how small. :)
I absolutely agree!
wouldnt be very asmr if he didnt
A good way to start the day, with a hot cup of coffee and a nice video!
Have a great day and thanks for the video!
Cheers from Brazil!
That's weird, you found that old motor just laying out in the middle of the woods and there's no bullet holes in it? Obviously you didn't find that in the United States
I concur, not even a dinky lil .22? Definitely not in Florida
Yes the gun laws in Australia are pretty bloody strict but that’s probably a good thing I suppose🤔.
@@bigstackD
Well, not really a good thing. Unless you like having the government telling what to do.
mushroomcloud1 Yes but there’s not much anyone can do about that even when we vote for someone to be prime minister a month later they can just kick him out of office and replace them with someone else it’s an absolute bloody joke . I hate all government agencies

It seems to be the same everywhere.
Low information voters electing garbage politicians.
Charge $1 per bet on when that shelf gives out. Winner gets the stack.

@@redeyes1775 yea but the wall
Every vintage tool restoration channel worst teardown nightmare lmao 🤣
Haha man I was thinking the whole time how good it would be to have a big stack of them. That collection is unreal! Most satisfying thing I've watched for a long time.
You like to see it
That do be true fr fr
You know what is diabolically clever of you? That you let us see you saving the dust and scraps and slag in jars, because now I'm gonna go looking for the vids where you melt it down again and see how it goes.
DrakeyC that is correct I just released the dust melt a few weeks ago and I have done quite a few slag melts over the last two years👌🏻😁.
I remember our 7th grade metal shop teacher pouring aluminum as part of a demonstration. As soon as it solidified (a few minutes) he dumped it on the floor. He asked who thought it was cool enough to touch. He took a pencil and touched the casting. The pencil immediately caught fire. A great lesson to show that just because the metal is hot enough to hold form, doesn't mean it's cool enough to touch.
My father was also an industrial arts teacher and warned me of the dangers of hot metals and from the machines in our home wood shop. I never used anything without him either there or teaching me how to use the machine the RIGHT WAY!
I'll agree with the asmr - I love watching you work and I've fallen asleep more than once watching your videos in bed :) Great find, and great job of recycling!
I like the "gentle persuasion" method of disassembly. Its related to the "percussion maintenance" method . Keep up the good work.
@bigstackD Casting
It is so good to see how much you improved during these 2 years. I started watching your videos from the newest ones and keep on watching by youtube's suggestions and now I saw this prehistoric one. So different.
Ingot is adorable! Thank you for showing him and warming my heart.
Yes! First Video in the "BIG ASS BARS" Series I hope! You rock Man!
I don't know if anyone else knew about this but about 6 weeks ago the failed Melbourne Printing Museum had its contents put up for auction by Gollant Auctions in Footscray. Anyway, the bidding was fierce and I couldn't afford most of what was offered but I did secure a galley cabinet full of 170kgs of lead fonts in a cabinet, only to discover that there was a second cabinet in that one lot with a further 297kgs of lead spacers (called furniture by printers). So, it cost me $350 to win the auctions plus about $70 in fuel but, I sold the lead for over $600. Anyway, just thought I'd share as there's money to be made in Australia from scrap.
that is so sad they closed his museum down and then to top it all off the relics were destroyed.
@@QarbitraryQ exactly what I tought
Your videos are some of the most audibly pleasing I have EVER watched/ listened to! I can't get enough of them. Fantastic job and keep em comin mate!
Bearded Bradford you got it buddy 👊🏻😁
I never get tired of watching these - it's almost therapeutic lol!
That motor was an awesome find. The pulley is probably zinc.
As always, I enjoy the videos.
I melted some zinc while pouring lead ingots. Exact same properties as the 2nd ingot
I was looking for this comment. I agree definitely zinc or a heavy zinc alloy.
Agreed, but the motor end pieces would have been aluminum. So the ingot was an aluminum/zinc alloy, definitely more brittle than aluminum alone.
@@bloomingtonian7529 yeah best not to mix AL and Zn. I get a mix of both in my scrap and have to sort them out by weight.
Doesn't zinc flash bright yellow flames in the furnace, give off yellow smoke, and leave zinc oxide deposits everywhere like in every brass melting video I've ever seen? That bar poured exactly like aluminium, although obviously the bar was more brittle than pure Al so it must be an alloy.
That copper bar is a beauty. All the screwdrivers, wrenches, etc, and sometimes the right tool for the job is a Big effing hammer 😋
Straight up no BS !!! You destroy then you create bloody love it 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Incredibly satisfying to watch, for multiple reasons. Thanks!
Brilliant, and surprisingly therapeutic. Love your work.
Love your comment 😁👍🏻
God it's been a long week time for a beer and a quality melt video
I’ve just stumbled into this channel and watched a lot of old videos. I figure that shelf full of bars & coins is a cheeky retirement fund. Since melting all those metals can’t be that profitable in today’s spot prices. When you factor in your labor & material costs. Having a shelf full of shiny brass & cooper in coin or bullion also makes for great conversation piece. It also gives out a grin of satisfaction in illusion in one’s mind that i’m rich!
Man.. its so peaceful watching these videos. Cheers ✌🏼
It's cool that you've got the Rand value in there. Thanks for the content. Big love from South Africa.
No worries my friend I’m glad it’s of use 😁👌🏻have a great week
from when we made quality things in the UK you made a work of art out of the copper the stash looks great keep on stacking
Love watching your motor melt downs. It’s packed full of rich copper.
These videos are weirdly comforting... Thanks.
Love the "I'll spray these rusty bolts, nuts and screws to carefully extract them and take this apart very cautiously." transition to "I Need a bigger hammer to smack this thing apart!" LOL Love the stack you've made. It's awesome.
i love the recycling vids. you had an easy time with those old slot head bolts
Besides the melting, this was the most satisfying motor break-down ever. Loved watching that casing shatter with the sledgehammer's blow!
Wow. Great skill and knowledge and the copper bar is well worth the effort. Its a lot better video than most videos on here that focus on production, rather than and a step by step display of how the bar was made.
I was waiting for some crazy Australian wild life to come flying out of that motor when he started with the hammer
love the videos bud this is truly entertaining and a bit relaxing
👌🏻😁
I finally finished watching all of your 300+ videos. Guess I will just start over?? LOL!! Thanks for all the great videos, the puppies and building that "Aladdin's Cave!"
Lockdown brought me here, fascination made stay. It's really cool watching you break down old junk in to something pure and valuable. Wish I could do this, thanks for sharing!
No worries my friend thanks for watching👊🏻😁
Back when I did casting work I found copper was tricky to cast without holes, Molds needed to be very hot, and I think tapping the mold seconds after pouring helped fill them. It was a fine line :)
Awesome video and keep making money in what you are doing
This is my preferred Bigstackd video. The one which made me a subscriber of this channel. Greetings from Spain!!
I really love how your dog is randomly featured in your videos.
00:16 that bird does a better joker laugh than Jared Leto.
Lmao
lol
Like your dog he's a little cheeky bugger
I love when you collect and melt scrap and trash, just makes me feel good
Wow, very entertaining video. You obviously enjoy your hobby. And your video editing skills are immaculate. Thanks for taking the time to share this video.
Greg Sewell cheers Greg I appreciate that matey . My other Vids are much the same you should stick around and check them out if you have the time 👌🏻😁. If not that’s cool have a great weekend👍🏻
you are getting better at smelting, that was an orgasmic smooth pour
@Mykel Hardin while i appreciate you, i dont need your two cents, thank you.
@Mykel Hardin nah, The Batista bomb is a move designed by David Bautista yea...
@Mykel Hardin see there was a rght way and a wrong way to do this, the right way was "Hey, you were wrong abotu this subject matter" ok? you follow? "This isn't actually smelting, its forging" see how eas that was? Bu you didn't do that,
Ok
Just going by corrosion appearance and brittleness of the metal, and the white smoke, I'd say the pulley was probably some kind of Zinc alloy like Zamak.
It sure looks like zamak I see it a lot in cheap guns.
Love them pups. Nice system and logging of finished product ..
You really know your shit, BIG D !!!
Your vids are really fun to watch !
Thanks !
Gotta love the sledgehammer part; resistance is futile; surrender is irrelevant; you will be assimilated!
Love how he starts off unscrewing everything then just takes a sledge to it and smashes it up.
Sledgehamers are, like, the duct tape of disassembly.
Best vid yet mate, the detail on this one was outstanding and it poured so nice and will Wright down that recipe for later, cheers mate and well done👍👍👍
After watching your vids for the past 6 months, Today i received my devil forge. Can’t wait to get stuck into it melting everything I can find!
Every tweaker that watched this had to be drooling.
I think they're busy stealing your radio and wheels bro, not refining copper.
Excuse me , I was wiping spit from my mouth, you were saying
I know these videos are supposed to be like manly and stuff and I understand that but they are oddly satisfying and I’ve been addicted to your channel for like a year and a half
Well that’s great I’m glad you like my videos buddy😁👍🏻
This was only the second one i watched and i feel like it was an artistic masterpiece. Hes got some talent .. not only in melting metal.
I love the way these videos are made. You can't stop watching.
Cool matey 😁. It’ll take you a long time if you watch them all theres up over 220 of them 🤘🏻
Definitely something relaxing about your videos
I fucking love and miss the sound of crows in the cold mornings when I was younger and went camping frequently
Wow he got lucky with this find, Cheers mate!

I don't know what it is about your videos. I've never been interested in this kind of thing before, now I can't get enough.
Nice video boss..i'm from malaysia..i like watching ur videos..i always want to do like ur..
The holes give it character.
It looks like a four leafed clover!
I thought it looked like the windows logo at first. Wondered if microsoft is making molds now??
@@sonofeloah lol
I think they are in there so you know it’s copper the whole way and not someth8ng else

That does not make sense. If it were electro-plated the holes would also be plated.
I said the same about your mom.
I like that you kept the plaque. Shows respect for technology.
Loved it, especially seeing the name plate restored at the end !!!
Nicely done!! Hey Bigstack, I had my first melt last night. A 6.3 pound and a 5.1 pound Brass bars, and a 2.2 pound aluminum bar. they came out great!!! But.... while taking a short video of my work, I chose to stack on a stool and slowly spin them around, so the sunlight would glisten off them. at the last turn they fell off the and my aluminum bar broke in half.
Bugger oh well at least the other two bars are complete😁. I actually just bought a spinning turntable off eBay to show off my final results but it probably won’t be here for a month🤷🏻♂️. Feel free to send me the link to the video on my email or send a few pics to my email🤔👍🏻.

When the going gets tough,get a bigger hammer,love it.
You are a master of your art my friend.
Beautiful results! Keep it coming!
Craigslist be like "selling motor, rarely used, not sure if still working"
This pom has never heard of Iron Jacks beer but now I really want one!! :D
If you ever have the opportunity to taste one I highly recommend it it’s a great drink👌🏻😁. Just make sure it’s super chilled👍🏻
That copper bar looks gorgeous! ,👍🙌👊
Wow, nice job on getting all that melted! Love your videos!
Would of been worth hundreds of dollars if this generator was restored but I love the melt....hmmmm shinny
You know you're working in the garage when you have one of mama's steak knives for cutting the cables
GREAT channel! Total passion projects!
Seriously im addicted to your videos.... I absolutely love them. Pet your handsome pups for me bro!!
The white metal looks like die cast metal. An alloy made out of zinc, aluminium and copper. Used a lot for making toy cars.
Die casting is a process. There's some junk called 'pot metal' that's a mix of different metals.
Die cast toys are usually steel.
Pleased you kept the makers plate, To me that is more interesting
Tú sabes muy bien lo qué es reciclar amigo exelente video!!👍
I can't help myself. This is becoming my new favorite channel! You live in Australia? In a place where everything can kill you, I'd think twice before sticking my hand in anything I find out in the wild! Nicely done, mate!
