Well I must admit today was a fun melt, making a few different alloys and a lot more of a breakdown than I thought there would be with a relatively small water heater, but nonetheless an awesome addition to the stack as usual. Nordic gold aluminium bronze, aluminium and brass all added to the stack. Bars are a bit rough but that's okay. I'm still loving em 👍🏻😁. Now Sit back relax , unwind and Enjoy the video and have an awesome day ! Thanks for dropping in , I appreciate you and I hope to see all you beautiful People on the next one👋🏻😆.
Just because a plane lands on his property and D is salivating a flood, does not mean it's his. Of course, he will have his breakdown tools in hand as he asks if they are okay.
Awesome melt Big D, as always! Those A/B coins came out very nice!! The BigsnackD segment looked good! Those snags look bloody delicious! As for what I do, well, I make stuff :D Thanks HEAPS for the shoutout last week! Very much appreciated! Have a good weekend brother.
@@GrumpyHarleyRider thanks again buddy much appreciated my friend. Yes those sausages are absolutely bloody awesome and I’ll make sure I have a heap of them when you come over to either take back with you or eat while you’re here. You’re gonna love them em 👊🏻😁
Signing in to watch despite a vast majority of the globe still suffering from a bad-patch software glitch that's taken people, places, airports, emergency services, and even countries down. Oops. Thanks for keeping us entertained! :)
Love the Nordic Gold! It's so beautiful! For hobbies, I love gaming (survival games and jrpg), but I also love to sing, write, craft... and watching awesome TH-camrs like you!
I actually do. When I'm one the hobby bench I need background noise to focus. Learned that in the Army and it's how I pulled 4.0s through 4 years of college. So, I'm on my hobby bench working on whatever and for the last couple months I've been running Stack's various play lists on shuffle. I mount my tablet on my swing magnifying lamp so it's at eye level. The sounds are enough to help me concentrate and I watch the video every few minutes to free up my thinking. And if it's not BigStack it's another Australian, AC/DC on my DAP blowing my ear drums out.
@@kyoudaiken it was wild and weirdly weird to see something different this week. I would really like to understand why if anyone works it out? They just weren’t the same! Go work it out you guys. And please let me know! Thanks from me sat here in leafy Bucks, England. Educate me, I love it!
It’s 2 am, I’ve been laying awake for almost an hour, and I just remembered that it’s Friday and BigStackD has a new video up. I guess I know what I’m doing with this extra time. (If I can stay awake.)
My spare time is spending time doing lawn mowing and trimming but my number 1 thing is looking forward to every Fridays to watch your videos. As I really want to what you do in video and that is melting just have to wait till February to get the money to buy a 10kg Devil Forge and all the tools and molds to get start melting..😄😄😄👍👍
Well be sure to hit me up on my email when you’re ready to purchase and I’ll organise a heap of start-up tips and a furnace discount for you👊🏻😁. bigstackddddd@mail.com
This is the earliest I have seen a video after it was posted. Isn't percussive disassembly so satisfyingly therapeutic? Could you bolt the skimming spoon to a narrow piece of steel to make it longer so you do not burn your gloves or yourself when skimming?
That's what i thought too, I was metal analyst in the aluminium melting casting and milling. When in the fire brigade at the company we had a magnesium fire. It even continue to burn under a thick layer of sand. We have been spouting water on it with the fire hose for several days. Your on the right track.
Not gonna lie, at the start as he was pointing out all the different metals I thought at some point he’d make a wide gesture with the quote, “Spiders.” 😂 New challenge unlocked, Bigstacked melts a plane!
Hey buddy, thanks again you’re an absolute champion! Your ongoing support means a lot, especially at this point where the channel is clearly dropping off as people just aren’t watching any more but not to worry. I still love making these videos and will continue to do so for as long as I can. Today Im Just doing a bit of editing with the little monkeys by my side as it’s rainy and shit weather outside but tomorrow it should be relatively clear but bloody cold so I’m thinking I might light the fire near the furnace when I’m melt some metal and maybe cook up a nice steak or something and have a beer For lunch 👍🏻 I’m looking to release a quick 10 minute video tomorrow night my time to try and get a little bit more traction but my midweek melt releases have never ever done any good, although it certainly wouldn’t hurt the channel to drop an extra quick video every now and then👍🏻😁. there’ll still be a nice long one for this Friday so don’t stress about that being affected. Take care buddy thanks again and talk with you soon..
lol, feel like I've done a hard day's work yet oddly relaxed after watching this ... all from the lounge chair! 😂 Can't wait to see the spy planes melted. Awesome mix of metals, I have an old textbook where all the metal mix's, melt temp's and info you have shown throughout the years is written, Cheers
In my spare time, I treasure hunt❤ be that dumpster diving, garage saling, hiking with a metal detector, antiquing, or just scrolling through FB marketplace. I love the hunt! First, for the objects and then for the people who will greatly appreciate what I've found❤
Thanks for another great video. I enjoy watching them and look forward to Fridays. I try to get in a little fishing to relax and try to ride the bike as much as I can. I hope you are still riding.
Hi Mr. Big, The bricks where amazing today. I loved them. They were beautiful I hope you do them again soon. I wanted to tell you I've named your Magpie friends months ago. I thought I'd finally share their names with you. There is Warren, Big guy Otto, Clive and Matilda aka Matty. They're a lovely bunch and they love you.
planning my first melt in a couple weeks...still saving up metals. i thank this channel and BigstackD for the inspiration to push me past the 'that looks really cool' stage to 'how does he do that' to 'i am going to do that' Rock on! ...safely
Great work buddy. As always. As for my spare time activities: hearing/singing songs I like in any language (Japanese for example), watching TV, Darting or "building" my own ingots, most are wrapped or sprayed with gold out of carton or fawm
I agree! It’s a bummer I can’t do stuff like the recycling in the USA like Australia. If I recycle steel, I only can get 90 cents a tonne…… it’s ridiculous
I loves me some Nordic Gold! For nny, but when I first started watching bigstackD videos I couldn't get enough of the melting. Now, it seems I like the disassembly portions better. Must be my ADD...
I love the longer videos, because they're more enjoyable and you can put more stuff in there. I dumpster dive on my free time. And when I get my tools, I'm melting stuff! 😁😁😁 I've got a question for you. Where I'm from, really nobody buys Fosters. Would you know if I could ship Fosters from the U.S. to you? Would any shipping company allow me to do that? Cause that'd be really cool if I could. Copper and aluminum are my favorite metals for surw. Melting? I'd say aluminum bronze or copper. Easy stuff, sterling silver. 💙💙💙💜💜💜🤙🤙🤙
They sell fosters at my local bottle shop, but that’s something I could not stomach. Hardly anyone in Australia drinks fosters and of all my drinking friends over the years I’ve never seen one of them drink fosters. I’ll stick with the corona I reckon, but a lot of people overseas say that is absolute garbage, but in Australia it’s very well received 👊🏻🍻🍻.
@@bigstackD Gotcha. Alright. That probably would explain why people don't buy it. I honestly only liked the fact the cans are huge. 🤣🤣🤣 I can imagine melting those would be interesting... 🙃 Thanks mate. 🤙🤙🤙💙💙💙💜💜💜
I reckon you have got some magnesium in there. You can do a test using vinegar to identify if a casting has high magnesium content. Great video as usual. Look at Melting Ipswich’s channel for the time he melted what turned out to be a magnesium casting. What a mess 😂😂
I have plenty of spare time every day - but4I can't walk and enjoy every minute of your videos. Mucho grades from Copenhagen Denmark. (And keep on feeding the birds - you are a sooo kind person).And the two four legged critters that his probably resting 24-7. .
Nice bruv. I'm waiting for the plane melt. The plane comment had me chuckling. Thanks for another good one i know your partial to the copper but I love that Nordic gold, that shine!
I always enjoy your videos. This is my spare time activity. Could you possibly show us a video of what not to do, safety, of course. I think it would be helpful to those just starting out. For example, show what happens when you pour without removing the slag. Thanks for all you do.
Had a co-worker over at the house watching your video today. My Asian wife saw the word SLAG and said, "Hey, isn't that what you call James?" She didn't know the meaning, and that me and the boys were all calling Jim the Company Slag Man. That zinc is so cool to watch melt.
I like to collect coins, weld different things into art projects, read anything I can get my hands on and getting ready to start melting stuff after Zening(?) Out on your videos 😊
When I'm not on TH-cam watching your vids, I hand carve limestone, marble, and sandstone for Architectural pieces (cornerstones, fireplaces, etc) and custom monuments. I work a regular night job to have a tax footprint.
In my spare time, I like a good bigstack video. The rest of the time I write scary stories for two publishers. My latest review from an Aussie reviewer gave me 5 stars. Pretty cool!
@bigstackD be sure to grab a product called D-Ter or any aluminum based yard spray. Will immediately keep the galahs, parrots and other birds from digging. Safe for dogs and other pets, birds hate the bitterness and will move on. Overall, it also will not hurt your lawn, easy mix with water and spray. Good stuff, keep up the great content. Hope this helps! Cheers from USA!
Cannot wait to fire my devil forge again cause i just finished scrapping one of those whole building AC units (about 3 ton i think) and it has completely overfilled everything here The radiator coils are about 10 inches thick and weigh 80-100lbs for each section i cut and are about 5-8 copper pipes thick
That was a really good song. Hopefully they won't come after you with a copyright strike. 'I've been waiting for a dog like you, to come into my life.'
Same as you metal but i have a oil burner gas to expensive. I have a lot of welders to strip and a lot of wire as well. Just haven't got good molds (coins ) to melt into yet love watching you every Friday cheers . Brian

Che, no me llego la notificación del video!!!
@bigstackD Love your content mate. Just wondering what a TH-cam account like this pays per 1,000 view's.
Keep up the great long video's
No iron today.
Why dont you talk in your Videos? They are still cool but why not
Sorry Mr Stackd im a bit late , but all is good cant wait to see another awesome relaxing vid✌😊
You should cast the stones from THE FIFTH ELEMENT... each one a different metal 😁
Hobbies outside of work, Husband, Father, pet dad, playing music in a nerd rock band, collecting action figures. Great Channel keep it up!!
Your glowing aluminum crucible was most likely caused by a magnesium casting! Thumbs up! Jim
Is that why it had that blue-ish green flame when he checked the slag with the crucibles on top of each other?
I was guessing that but wouldn't it explode?
No one will ever be able to explain why we watch bigstackD, but we do, and that’s all that matters.
True
To satiate my soul until I can fulfill my dream of doing this myself.
Man that line about the plane being mostly aluminum had me rolling. I think you would need a bigger vault after melting that bad boy down 😀
Just because a plane lands on his property and D is salivating a flood, does not mean it's his. Of course, he will have his breakdown tools in hand as he asks if they are okay.
@@baronesstemplar7979 Could always melt down the spies. I hear they're mostly "Coppers"
Awesome melt Big D, as always!
Those A/B coins came out very nice!!
The BigsnackD segment looked good! Those snags look bloody delicious!
As for what I do, well, I make stuff :D
Thanks HEAPS for the shoutout last week! Very much appreciated!
Have a good weekend brother.
@@GrumpyHarleyRider thanks again buddy much appreciated my friend. Yes those sausages are absolutely bloody awesome and I’ll make sure I have a heap of them when you come over to either take back with you or eat while you’re here. You’re gonna love them em 👊🏻😁
Oh man! A nice long one! Good~
Time to get ready for the second half of my overnight shift with this playing on the TV in the lobby.
In my spare time I watch BigstackD videos.... Obviously...
I am one of your returning viewer I first saw your videos 2 3 years ago and now I came back and love you from India ❤
Signing in to watch despite a vast majority of the globe still suffering from a bad-patch software glitch that's taken people, places, airports, emergency services, and even countries down. Oops. Thanks for keeping us entertained! :)
Well it's 4:00am Florida, USA time. Getting ready to enjoy another bigstackD adventure that just dropped.
It is around midnight or 1am when they get uploaded for me. In WA
Love the Nordic Gold! It's so beautiful!
For hobbies, I love gaming (survival games and jrpg), but I also love to sing, write, craft... and watching awesome TH-camrs like you!
ICAN WATCH THIS ALL DAYEVERY DAY
I actually do. When I'm one the hobby bench I need background noise to focus. Learned that in the Army and it's how I pulled 4.0s through 4 years of college. So, I'm on my hobby bench working on whatever and for the last couple months I've been running Stack's various play lists on shuffle. I mount my tablet on my swing magnifying lamp so it's at eye level. The sounds are enough to help me concentrate and I watch the video every few minutes to free up my thinking. And if it's not BigStack it's another Australian, AC/DC on my DAP blowing my ear drums out.
I clicked on this bc of the mention of gold and thought that there was gold in the water heated, but I like the fact that you can make it better. :3
Nordic gold is a favourite of mine that you create. Thanks for fab video…
That and aluminum brass are both not tarnishing, right?
@@kyoudaiken it was wild and weirdly weird to see something different this week. I would really like to understand why if anyone works it out? They just weren’t the same! Go work it out you guys. And please let me know! Thanks from me sat here in leafy Bucks, England. Educate me, I love it!

Me too , I can’t sleep😢. I live in Arizona it’s 2:24am
Best Part of Friday Night is Watching BigStackD
Or Sunday night
@@carahowell4260 agreed 👍 🤙🌴🌺
Maybe a magnesium/aluminium alloy with the magnesium burning off? This would explain the bright glow.
That's what i thought too, I was metal analyst in the aluminium melting casting and milling.
When in the fire brigade at the company we had a magnesium fire.
It even continue to burn under a thick layer of sand. We have been spouting water on it with the fire hose for several days.
Your on the right track.
Always enjoy your videos
Good morning from California's beautiful wine country! 😊😊😊
@@danielcarter305 👋🏻😃
In my free time on Friday I wait for your new video and on other days I watch some older bigstackD videos.
One of your upcoming melts should be molds of the 4 elements on your table. Love the content!
Dunno if it has been said before but I actually enjoy the old fashioned music you always play ▶️
Not gonna lie, at the start as he was pointing out all the different metals I thought at some point he’d make a wide gesture with the quote, “Spiders.” 😂
New challenge unlocked, Bigstacked melts a plane!
In my spare time... I watch bigstackD videos! (and occasionally try to melt stuff too)
I just love watching your videos!!! So fascinating, fun and inspirational!!! Stay Blessed my Friend!!!
I look forward to your videos each week. Keep up the good work, mate. 😊😊
I love the longer videos like these! I fall asleep to them so I am always watching the full video tooo!
Feeding the birds like Kurtis from CEE. Two of my absolute favorite shows on Fridays!
Cheers from Anchor Point Alaska!

Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲
I am always cooking and baking for my boys that include my husband 😂😂my spare time is spent watching your videos ❤❤❤
Thanks for the tip on the skimming spoon, I've already partially melted the tips of the fingers on my gloves.

I just love your FLATTENER thingy, works well!
Another great video, thank you Mr. Bigstack
It's 4:15 AM and I can't sleep. At least Bigstackd just posted his Friday video.
I've been waiting for this video to drop

The video this channel really needs is a time lapse of D breaking down and melting an entire small aircraft.
Thank you! Love your videos! We here in America need them now!

I haven't watched for a while that was awesome, glad to see the stack had got bigger... 👌💪 Love the treasure chest 😍
Good old skippy makes another appearance. Onya skippy
Enjoyable watch your videos, Dion...you become TH-camr copper ⭐ Star now lol smile
No offense to the big man himself but I love your videos because they help me sleep.
Cannot wait to fire my devil forge again cause i just finished scrapping one of those whole building AC units (about 3 ton i think) and it has completely overfilled everything here
The radiator coils are about 10 inches thick and weigh 80-100lbs for each section i cut and are about 5-8 copper pipes thick
....and of course zinc too!
That was a really good song. Hopefully they won't come after you with a copyright strike.
