Now would you believe it’s over two months since my last motor melt. I thought I would do a big one today but not my biggest. I chose this as it was the largest one I could lift safely in an out of my jeep as I don't have anyone to help me but what a great haul of copper in this bad boy. An awesome addition to the stack that's for sure so sit back check this vid out and hopefully I'll see all you sensational subs next Friday👋🏻Have the best weekend you possibly can😁
A small trailer with a hand winch/boom rated at 300kg would be nice and it protect your back. Here in the states we have setups for the back of pick up trucks and they work well.
The 3000 RPM (2 Pole) rated AC motors will tend to have more copper than the slower rated machines. If you can find them, get the open drip proof motors as they usually have more copper than the enclosed motors, that includes all speed ranges.
Also avoid EEx motors, they usually have more cast iron than regular ones, aluminum casing motors are best. Remember that the rotor cage is usually made of aluminum.
3:20 - Have you tried smelting aluminum out of the rotor? There are squirrel-cage aluminum conductors in the rotor, melt them when you can.

3:58 I'm sorry but I cracked up laughing when you dropped that eye bolt into your tray and it fell right thru that little hole 🤭 that's the kind of crap that happens to me all the time!
I watched someone yesterday melting aluminum pull the crucible out of their kiln and the brick stuck to the crucible bottom, I said out loud “place some cardboard underneath and that won’t happen.” 😂 You’ve literally melted that into my brain.
If that dog wasn’t out there sun bathing just living his best life! 🤣 I think I come back every Friday more for the little doggos than anything else! 😊
I remember when I first started watching your channel I wondered how you didn't have more subscribers than you did at the time. It wasn't very many in the grand scheme of TH-cam. Now you're kicking up steam and have come a long way. It's been incredible to say to least
That pizza looks delicious. When I was younger my grandma would always make pizza for the whole family. One she made was a pepperoni & jalapeno for my grandpa. He let me try it one day and I fell in love with it. Thanks for bringing back a memory for me.
I so agree, coppers individual look is so irregular and so stunning I just can’t get enough. I actually used borax in my lacquer coated copper wire melt about a week ago and I was amazed how clean the bars were with absolutely no imperfections, like pitting and carbon from the graphite mould that can get drawn into it. I use about 1 table spoon per kilo and incorporate at the beginning of each melt. I also found it keeps your crucible very clean.🥳 I’m hooked it worked great on lacquer coated copper wire and dirty wire. Thanks again Bstackd 😊👍
@@cesare8270 absolutely %100 mate, very clean bars. Just try to remove as much as possible with the back of a spoon. It will build up on the back of the spoon as you move it around the crucible. You need to take it in and out of the crucible at regular intervals to allow it to solidify on the spoon. I actually have a bucket of water next to me when I do this. It helps speed up the skimming process. But ‘do not’ fully cool the spoon, only briefly submerge the spoon and be sure there is no moisture still present as a steam explosion is imminent. Just be careful. Perfect impurity free bars await.😊
@@cesare8270 yes get the majority from around the edge, you can try to work the slag to one side but is difficult. ( as it it very runny at those temperatures.) This will help reduce the amount, getting rid of all is not possible.. but if you pour slowly it shouldn’t come over into the mould. Give it a go, let me know what you think 😊
Man. You unlocked a core memory or something. I was watching the copper bars form and I was suddenly reminded of Jello in my school years, the orange flavored stuff that was awful. It was like watching forbidden orange Jello. Thanks boss.
It’s so awesome to see your channel get massive! I’ve been around since about 100k I think. Long enough to have heard your voice a time or two lol keep it up stackD!!!
I start a playlist every night to fall asleep to. NOT saying your videos are boring at all, I also watch them to relax. But these sounds are better than white noise, and it’s a mostly constant volume level through out the whole video. One day you should do a 1-TON motor meltdown. Granted, I- we can only imagine how much work that would be. Probably could be an hour long video though.
'I'll pick a motor I can easily lift into and out of my jeep' he says and casually strolls home with an 82 kg bag of metal! The case wedge was a close shave and it is great you didn't hurt yourself with a nasty pinch. Always a pleasure sitting down with a beer after a long week and watching your latest melt!
Loving the videos. A random thought... If you are seriously considering a trailer, you might think about adding a small winch/motor system, to lift heavy items in/out of the trailer (like a flatbed tow truck) - either self-powered or running off vehicle's power system. Anyway, cheers!
I've a couple of KG of aluminum smelted so far! I've just about saved up enough to do a copper smelt. Loving this hobby, thanks for getting me into it BigstackD
No that's not the full definition. the act or process of getting a metal from rock by heating it to a very high temperature, or of melting objects made from metal in order to use the metal to make something new:
I just wanted to say you have the best smelting videos out there. Your safety tips and knowledge tips are great. I have seen other videos out there but your attention to detail and the pride you take in your work is what puts you over the top. Keep it up and thanks for what you do.
Cheers from the US! I don't know how your videos got in my feed, but I'm glad they did! It is mesmerizing to watch each melt and casting. I have binged almost 2 dozen of your vids so far.
So... 150lbs away, yeah? Great choice of motor, delicious looking haul, great pours, and a beautiful tag added to the shop. Oh yeah, note to self.... Must try drooly's pizza if i ever go to AUS. 🤤🤘
I could watch motor melts everyday and I don't think I would get tired of them, love the copper melts and from a motor its perfect. That tag was also in excellent shape to be added to the list of great motor melts! We're experiencing some hot weather this year, 92 (33C )degrees with 70-80% humidity, that is pretty hot for us in the Northern states but the southern states are already over 100 ( 38C ) with high Humidity. Take care everyone! Hope you all have a great weekend, BigStackD started it off right!
@Forrest Farris I spent a summer in Colorado Springs during the early 80s, many people came there looking for work and it was hard to find a job, I did the day labor thing as construction was booming. I had no idea at that altitude it would be in the upper 90s so much and it seemed hotter with the thin air. Beautiful place to visit but kinda ruined my outlook for living there. That was the year Pikes peak still had snow in July yet Temps were high according to locals.
@Forrest Farris very thin, I could barely make 1/4 mile before my lungs were on fire, this as an extremely fit 20 year old! When I got back to the Midwest and 100ft elevations I felt like superman running!
@@madmax82988 Yeah, I’m guessing that mold just sucks. We wasn’t able to use the mold until he can get the bar out… after he was done pouring everything
It may have been mentioned before, but instead of using a grinder / recip saw to get the copper out of the motor, I use a large sharp chisel and hammer. It slices through the ends with no mess and may actually be quicker.
Happiest of Fridays D 😁 hope it finds you and your family in the same wonderful mood that I'm feeling n.n looking forward to another epic friday melt n drinks n snacks with the boyos 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜
Hey D...great melt this week! I just love watching you take these motors apart. I was surprised at the amount of copper inside this particular one as well. We're getting so close to reaching your ultimate goal. That's a major achievement man! I've basically been watching since the beginning and you can bet your sweet ass I'll be right there when you come across home plate! Have a great weekend! 💙✌️
TIP FOR CLEARER ICE: If you insulate the bottom and sides of your ice mold (not the top) your water will take longer to freeze but its clarity will be much better.
Brother thank you for your videos, I absolutely think and know it saved my life, I started watching your videos when I was doing very very bad doing stuff I wasn’t spoused to, I had very bad hobbies and one day after I almost lost my life to be correct it was one week to be exact after that incident I was just sitting o friends, family lived far away me and my wife wasn’t doing to good I was just completely drained and didn’t know what to do, one thing I knew for sure is that I still have purpose on this world because of how the incident happened and how everything went down and hours before the incident this one restaurant was open and something in the restaurant happened and they closed down for the night, so my friend came to my room and asked my wife where I was and she said that she didn’t know than she said that she was looking for me too and can’t find me for 2 hours now than my friend came out of the room and seen lights In My car that’s how he found me if that restaurant was open and didn’t close I would be dead and not here, before we went on the trip before we left the house I prayed in the car never did that before and how something happened in the restaurant so they could close down that’s why I believe that there is still purpose for me in this world other wise I wouldn’t be here writing this text, I went thru some horrible time almost lost my wife my kids, so I was sitting home one time thinking and said God I know you have purpose for me because of you the way things happened I’m still here, and it’s all during the pandemic every one is afraid of each other no body talking to each other that threw me in depression no job, no friends, family and some friends are living far away from me it was almost got bad again I almost lost it again, so I was sitting talking to my self talking to God than I lit a cigarette and open TH-cam the first video I watched was #bigstackDCasting and I used to scrap metal so I had quite a bit of copper, aluminum and brass and BROTHER thanks to you for your videos it gave me a new hobby I was excited it literally changed my life, my wife was like what got in to you why you so excited all of a sudden, she thought I was doing bad again and I explain it to her and she helped me get a melting pot and everything I needed to do what you do and it changed my life saved my life, I’ve been doing very good, I dropped all the bad habits and went in and got help and now doing very good I got a job now family doing amazing relationships with wife and kids is amazing and every time after work if I have time I’m melting, so big thank you my Brother I’m so glad I came a cross your videos, anyway thank you a lot and so sorry for the big and long comment. Once again your videos are amazing.
Damn, I was close on the copper weight but messed up thinking the casing was aluminum. Great melt as always, BigStackD, this is the best way to start the weekend with a melt! I hope you’re doing well down under, mate!
25:32 thank you! One of my favorite parts of each video. But you always have me wondering, how much was the scrap motor from the scrap yard? Are these melts at all profitable? As a hobby is it enough to offset the cost of gas, molds, crucible, etc? Cheers from California!

Without a doubt, the motor melts are my favorites by far.

“The Fugitive!” Great flick! 😉
I got some real tough shit going on in my life right now and your videos are helping me fucking crush it, thank you as always!

I actually used borax in my lacquer coated copper wire melt about a week ago and I was amazed how clean the bars were with absolutely no imperfections, like pitting and carbon from the graphite mould that can get drawn into it.
I use about 1 table spoon per kilo and incorporate at the beginning of each melt.
I also found it keeps your crucible very clean.🥳
I’m hooked it worked great on lacquer coated copper wire and dirty wire.
Thanks again Bstackd 😊👍
I have been melting for a few years now, I thought you only used borax in Brass and stuff, but you can use it in copper? Thats cool
@@cesare8270 absolutely %100 mate, very clean bars.
Just try to remove as much as possible with the back of a spoon.

@@heathstott Okay I will try that in like 30 mins, about to go out and do some melts
Using the balance to have all bars at equal size really increases the satisfaction factor!

i was watching your channel about 2 years ago and now you are much closer to your target, i hope you will get it
I used to scrap grain bin motors,until I watched these vids. Now I mold whatever I want outta them. And people here basically give old ones away.
Been watching this channel for a while, don't recall seeing so much copper from one motor before.
I always find it funny when D is listening to classical music, with the rest of his vibe you’d expect hard rock or metal
It may have been mentioned before, but instead of using a grinder / recip saw to get the copper out of the motor, I use a large sharp chisel and hammer. It slices through the ends with no mess and may actually be quicker.
Glad to see more ingots added to the pile
Such a Beautiful color when it's being poured... there's nothing like molten hot copper.
Good video! I watch your videos when I need to clear my mind and have some simple little laughs. Love the way you rock the unicorns!
