- Now this is a great package from a Aussie sub who sent me 1.3kgs of silver shot. I just love the way silver freezes as it leaves awesome layered lines. On top of the silver I also pour myself easily the ugliest copper bars I have ever seen, Nothing to look at but always a welcome addition to the stack. Another week closer to the new place but I can tell you right now I'm not looking forward to the stack move. Anyway as usual enjoy the vid and Ill see you all on next Fridays sewage pump panel melt ***

HOW TO MIRROR FINISH A BAR
I start with an 80 grit flap disc on my angle grinder then I use my drill with 50 mm round sanding discs . I start with 150 grit then go through the following Grits 240-400-800 Then once I get to the following Grits I use a small squirt of WD-40 1200-1500-2000-2500-3000. The WD40 helps to lubricate the discs and stops the sanding disk binding up with the metal powder . Then after that I use my buffer wheel on my bench grinder to get a perfect mirrored finish on it.

3.8KG Silver Shot & Copper Melting - ASMR Metal Melting - BigStackD Casting - Trash To Treasure? - บันเทิง
Welcome back to another Friday video where today I had a very generous donation from an Aussie subscriber and I melt down the 1.3 kg of silver he donated as well as a few kilos of copper. These would definitely be the ugliest copper bars I have ever poured and seen but they're still welcome with open arms into the stack. I didn't worry about cleaning up the silver pieces as in my new place I'll set up the new kiln and start learning the lost wax/pla casting for more intricate pieces. Let's see how I go. Now sit back relax take it easy , I hope you enjoy today's video and as always have an awesome weekend and see you all next Friday for my sewage pump panel meltdown👌🏻😁
Hey man a u in Sydney? I have few copper pipes if u want for free 😘
You should look out for old electronics and computer parts. Gold is commonly used as a conductor.
Love your vids and you are on of my favorite youtubers.
Your dogs are sweet
@@Rivertable Bunbury WA
Do you gonna move to a new house or just a new shop?
LOL! One of my colleagues walked into my office before and asked, 'what the hell are you watching?!'. Then she sat down and we both watched it together! Now she's subscribed, so this'll be a topic of conversation over our morning coffee from now on!! :D excellent!! x
One thing that always gives me a little smile is how friendly bigstackD's videos are to new viewers. How many times have regular viewers seen "cardboard under crucible stops firebrick sticking", yet he still titles it in. Had he stopped doing that because "oh my viewers know by now", new viewers wouldn't know some of these handy tricks. :)
Keep being you bigstackD. Keep being you.
Wow that was a very generous gift of silver!
I just love the way your frenchies look at you with those huge adoring eyes 🥰
Appreciate you making time for us while you're busy moving, Friday just wouldn't be the same without BigstackD!👍
Wouldn't be the same without bigsnackD either lol, especially with how he introduces his meal of the video!
That's like a 100 oz of silver. That's somewhere around $2,500. I spent $3000 and some for 100 oz in 10 oz bars.
@@chloebowman6694 yes, and every time is a new pair of colorful sox!
Is anyone else excited that bigstackD is only 139 KGS (106 LBS) away from the goal? Ive been waiting for that episode since i started watching these videos ages ago! Keep it up bigstackD!
IKR, that's going to be an epic episode! I can't wait!
the huge kiln is probably related to this
A metric tonne and a “standard” one are different weights. 1000 kg is approximately 2200 pounds, so he has over 300 pounds to go, not the 106 you claim. That’s just for a “standard” ton.
@@vincedibona4687 306lbs to be exact.
Yep! Looking forward to celebrate this with all the rest of the 'Casting Crew', with Mr Bigstackd, Bullion and Ingot in the lead!
I don’t know what it is but these videos are soothing for the soul
That's because you're watching a mentally healthy dude just doing his thing and enjoying life. It's better than going to the shrink.
@@Carpenterjoh65 Why do you think it is better than going to the shrink?
You have a Jawa soul. The melting down of old metal into shiny new usable ingots thrills the primal nature of your being. I understand, since I feel the same way.
Honestly, this is insane. You can tell how much people love the content when they make a crazy donation like that. Keep up the amazing work, bigstackD!
If you do silver again, you should keep a torch blowing inside the mold to keep the silver melted until you finish the pour. Your ingots will come out more solid and the crystalization of the silver will be even more beautiful.
Love the videos and have for over a year, bigstackD! Thanks for the amazing and relaxing content as always. ❤️🙏 And yes, the vicious guard dogs are adorable as well. 🥰
edit: Now that I've looked at the copper part of the video, and I love the longer video formats you are doing now, the red copper ingot is because it was the last pour with the most impurities that were floating atop the molten metal, it could have also retained a small amount of oxygen due to the impurities present. That red color should hopefully be superficial though.
Also, heating your mold during the pour would keep those air bubbles from getting in and provide a better pour like I mentioned before. And a good way to clean copper is just let it soak in a solution of white vinegar and salt for about 30 minutes and only "scrub" any holes or divots with a toothbrush instead of a power tool. You'll have a much more beautiful finish when done.
Hope you give my comment a little look! Extremely big fan here! Drink one for me during your next melt! 🍻
Excellent comment. I wish he would’ve responded.
The clink of silver is such a nice sound. Back when I was working retail in the 90's in the US, I could always tell when someone had paid with a silver quarter by the sound it made when I dropped it in the cash drawer, and I kept regular quarters with me to exchange them whenever I heard one.
Illegal.
@@bob-ny6kn ur mum's illegal
@@bob-ny6kn how?
It’s a one way of telling if an item is silver or not!
@@bob-ny6kn False! If they took the coins without replacing them, then it would be illegal as that counts as Theft. However, as they replaced the coins with different ones. No loss of profit was incurred so it's perfectly legal.
Thanks for these videos. They inspired me to get my own forge and give my own shot at casting.
I thankfully, work in a plating shop and we burn through roughly about 500-1000lbs of copper a day. (220kg - 450kgish) I'm allowed to grab some of the copper scrap, so its made the process remarkably easier.
I work in a machine shop and I get all the brass I can handle!!!!
That must be soo nice, what a perk. I'd work for cheaper if I could score a kg of copper a week even.
Good stuff, I do repairs/remodeling so I get fittings, pipes, wires and motors oh my! 😃
A family member owns a drilling and manufacturing company, and the shop generates a whole lot of scrap. I really should buy a forge or build me a propane tank forge and get in on some of this. Copper prices in particular have risen to the point you can actually make money now rather then just being a hobby.
@@stevenaubin74 Its great, I'd be willing to donate a copper billet to the channel. But I think sending one from the US would bankrupt me due to the weight.
Crazy that someone would donate almost $1000 in silver. Awesome addition to the stack!
Why is it that Ingot always looks like he’s hiding his face in his paws when he sleeps? It’s adorable. 🥰
That’s what my cat Squirt does when she sleeps lol
They are blocking out the light🙀
This man is well organized and his work ethic is top notch. Respectt to you sir, from Kenya
Man whoever sent that silver is a very generous person!
Have a nice weekend bigstakd!
No kidding, nearly a grands worth of silver is a hell of a 'gift' o.O REALLY looking forward to seeing that kiln in action and what he plans for the silver now
Very generous sender whoever sent in the silver.
Keep it safe with the 10mm oversized socket container. Might have to double container it now!
Hey D... that was a heck of a donation huh? I'm glad you have subscribers who believe in you. Great job as usual and see you next week. 💙✌️
And you can very quickly tell thats reall silver too once he cast it, silver has a very specific sound when you drop it or clink it against itself, its as you can hear a higher pitch then most metals, this is why silver is so popular for makeing bells as well the sound silver bells of all sizes make is quite beutifull
One time at the store I was getting back change and the cashier dropped the quarter on the counter and I knew before I picked it up it was made of silver because of the sound it made.
Every time I click on his videos I think what new favorite sound will I have today
It's great, it reminds me of having pets like a bird or fancy rats happily shuffling around in there habitation. It's strangely comforting!
Thank you for putting me to sleep literally every night for almost 2 years
Man... I needed this today!
And the donation was a very refreshing and welcome surprise in the world we're living in! Legendary status!
Lastly, any day you get to drag out the sawz-all is a great day indeed!
Thanks, as always, for the video!
Be well!
Cheers
I say this on a lot of videos, I feel, but besides what you do, those two pups bring a smile to my face every week. Along with what you do, and your channel, it helps someone with PTSD once a week have a moment that cannot ever be replaced, and I look forward to it every time. Thank you for doing what you do! Cheers!
😁👊🏻
that was a very very generous donation...if anybody wonders why he used a fresh crusable its simple, the older a crusable is the more likely the metal hes melting wills tick to it, for aluminum or even coper thats no big deal, copers valabuel sure but not 'that' valuable, silver on the other hadn as that price tage domonstraights is another beast alltogether, that bar there is worth enough to buy a decent computer..
edit: yes i know my spelling and gramer are atrocious, I never quite mastered either skill, i can read with comprehension at a very high speed but the part of my brain that is suposed to connect reading and writing togetehr just doesnt work, in my head i know the way things are suposed to go but they never end up on the page that way
Made sense mate, no worries. Yep, to your comment, everyone should keep some silver in their safe at home.
sounds like you are dysgraphic and dyslexic .. they tend to go hand in hand.. my daughter has them and she rates as a genius per the scottish rite's intelligence testings and aptitude tests..so no worries brother.. not everyone on the net is a jerk.. seems everyone on here is awesome..besides many of us speak and read typonese well.. i am personally fluent in it.. as i am a hen peck kind of guy when it comes to typing.. one finger and look around for the one letter and then to the next letter of the word. and trust me sometimes it isnt pretty when i try to go fast. be well my friend and know you are not alone in this.
You did it precious metal silver
I am extra excited for this video, silver is my favourite metal ever :) im happy he is melting down some
@@archangel06 next time pure Gold
Did not expect multiple melts in one vid!Thanks for making my 4:00 AM Friday morning with my coffee! exited to see the kiln!
That was really nice of them to donate the silver for the melt, and the lines honestly look like giant finger prints! Good luck on your move, and that kiln should add a whole new dimension to your channel!
That was one generous gift of silver.
I like those copper bars! The porosity and all the melt layers give them some real character, they look like something you'd pull off the bottom of the ocean from a wrecked pirate ship!
Silver is an awesome melt! What a nice gift. Cheers to you and the pups!
Another awesome start too a friday all thanks to our friend big stack D! That silver was really something special! Congrats on adding some value to the stack!!! Keep up the great work! ✌️🙂✌️
Hey dude i found you about three years ago. And i still try to watch every friday. Theres been a few that i missed. You always do some cool shit.
Silver?? bigstackd making big money moves 😁
I can never get enough of these videos, the pours and the end products are always so relaxing and interesting to me. Part of me wants to sleep but part of me stays awake for the end result.
I’m glad you posted this just before I was going to sleep, I always love watching your videos to relax and settle down with a snack.
It's afternoon in india 😁
Depuis la Suisse, ça fait un bon moment que j'attends avec impatience la fin de la semaine pour découvrir les vidéos. Merci, c'est très intéressant et passionnant. Keep going👌
Great melt this week! Silver's freeze lines are definitely cool, but nothing beats the color and flow of pure melted copper.
I love how it resembles a fingerprint
I love sitting down every week and watching a cool bloke just doing his hobby and petting his dogs.
4:47 Yes, you can. Gold has beautiful freezing lines =)
Also, that silver looks like it isn't very pure. Looks like it was reclaimed from a gold inquartation process which means it probably has copper and platinum group metals alloyed with it. Check sreetips vids to see what I mean.
Perhaps that's where it came from? ;) :P What a generous contribution none the less, I assume.
He said he was overwhelmed and his silver cell couldn't keep up with the work, so possibly. These creators are familiar with each other.
At one ton he melts his car, heard it here first
I have been looking for two copper heat exchangers for over three years for my still and you have a whole bin of them. I am extremely jealous right now.
@bigstackD Casting
another great video. I agree silver freeze lines do look amazing. Although todays copper freeze looked pretty darn cool .. Nice Camera work there.
I love when the hot metal cooling off changes color
The puppies are wonderful as always. nice to see BigSnackD come out to play.
It is pretty neat to see the piles of stuff you have collected over the years.
Can't wait to see the transformation and transition into the new place.
And to see the new toys get set up.

I always enjoy your videos! Keep up the great work!
first time ive seen melting and casting of silver, and gotta say, its so cool!!
and those lines are so unreal! youve gotta do more of that, im a fan
Check out Sreetips YT channel. He does a lot of silver refining like this. The shot isnt pure but very close. The 1st bag looked real good and the second needs more refining.
@@WhyamIstillwatchingyoutube Great recommendation - sreetips is awesome and he's a pretty amazing refiner. He takes that silver shot and produces beautiful pure silver crystal by electrolysis.
Now that's a cool fan and a video I've waited for for awhile. Big precious metals
Another cool upload. Appreciate the content, doggos looks happy with the castings :)
It’s blowing my mind watching the copper cool down. So cool to watch.
Whomever sent Mr stacked the silver I to have been a very good boy this year🤣.. thank you truly for sending the silver in I enjoyed watching it melt there was something magical about how pure it looks when liquid I myself have never seen silver do that before,so thank you for getting with Mr Stacked and making that happen.
Silver flows so beautifully into the molds.
Great video. Very generous donation of silver. Can't wait to see the new shop
Brother hope all is well!!!! Love the content of your posts. I've been trying to get to my goal of a 1000lbs my self but still have 300lbs to go of wire..... I've learned alot and understand more and more about metals because of you! All the best and hope to see more of your new place! Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️
Going to be awesome to see how he re-organizes the stack at his new place🤘
I will still miss the old one 😞😞
@@PC-mc5qw maybe start a new one?
Fuck yeah! I needed my BigStack Friday fix. I was going nuts because it wasn’t coming up on my feed. I’m glad I found it. As always, you always make me look forward to Friday! You are my go-to channel, along with Kurtis at Cutting Edge Engineering. You both have some of the best content on TH-cam. Thanks for bringing us the best stuff, mate. Much love from South Texas, and stay safe!😬🤷🏻♂️
Edit: I can't believe Bullion and Ingot weren't impressed with the silver melt.
I really like the close up when you poured the copper. Keep up the great work.
with green flames, comes immense satisfaction 😍 Good luck for your upcoming move! cheers mate
There is nothing quite like the adoration in a dog's eyes ❤❤❤
looking forward to seeing your new workshop! keep em rolling out man ur videos are excellent.
Cool dust swirls. Spring removal awesome too. Great footage.
You don't even know how excited I am for that kiln!
Awesome copper and silver bar's thanks for sharing bigstackd
Dude keep up with your work hats off to you
Lovely donation from a fan and the stack grows some more ( I was gonna say nice melt, but you're right those copper bars are ugly ). Man, I don't envy you having to move all that metal, both the melted stuff and the stockpile of future bits. Best of luck on your move when you get to it
It's amazing, I like both videos, looking forward to your kiln. It's going to be a nice weekend.😀
cant tell you how satisfying it is to watch liquid metal being poured and solidifying, (makes my OCD happy) also got to agree that those are indeed the ugliest bars you've made but i kinda like them, gives them character being a bit holey. although I still love watching you polish a bar to a smooth mirror finish. thanks for the vid, looking forward to next Friday.
3am in Canada just perfect time for a nice metal melting video
Love your videos keep it up big stack love the dogs to by the way and loved how you also added a little food segment to
Woohoo, a bigstackd vid right after the new Cutting Edge Engineering vid 😁 I'm stoked
Hey, thanks for the vid. I had no idea that there's springs in a heat exchanger for a tankless. I'm gonna have the get my own set. This looks so fun. I always have scrap. 🔥
pulling the steel springs out looked satisfying
Your content puts me in a very content trance almost.. Right on. Thanks my dude.
Okay... So i am finally catching up (after seeing you recently made a vault room 😍.... -whispers- about time, man 🙄😁) and i gotta say... Seeing you work with silver... Freaking Yes. Seeing the look on little Bullie's face saying you need to melt more.... Freaking YES! 🤣 ah, man.... Those dogs are so adorable and awesome.
Going to try to binge on your videos so I can finally catch back up to current melts. Tonnes of love to you and yours, my brother. #StackD4Life
Have a awesome weekend ole mate and keep the videos coming, cheers for now
Can't wait to see that kiln in action man. You videos are awesome 👌. You're one my top fav TH-camrs.
Smart man using the new equipment on precious metals. 👍
There's something I've always been curious about - if you fill a mold and then place a sheet of similar metal as the mold on top before it hardens (like if you're capping the mold I guess) when it cools would it be perfectly flat or would it still have the sink?? I'm really curious about that huge kiln thing you have there - can't wait to see how you use it.
he'll probably use it when he hits 1000kg
Almost all materials shrink when they freeze, including metals. (The most common exception is water, which expands). Even castings done in fully enclosed molds will shrink. Putting a "cap" on the mold won't stop the metal from shrinking. The most common solution for this issue is to create "risers" which are open shafts extending upwards from the mold. If done correctly, excess molten metal flows up into the risers during the pour, then, as the casting cools, the excess metal in the risers moves down to fill the gaps left by shrinkage. The metal left in the risers are cut off the finished casting.
@@andymanaus1077 thanks for the info 👍
Happy Friday D 😁 hope it finds you and the family well n.n looking forward to another epic friday melt n snacks n drinks with the boyos 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜
I don't know why, but there's just something satisfying about watching all that ugly metal transformed into ingots and other useful things. They are truly beautiful once you get them all shined up and mirror smooth. I know it takes a LOT of work, but they all look great - even the ugly bars!
That adorable letter opener!
I am excited about the developments that happen when you move into your new residence
3.1K+👍's up thanks for sharing your Graeter experience with us all
I really like the texture of these copper bars almost lava rock looking I think it’s actually extremely cool and not ugly at all
Good to see new stuff fella 👍
Two melts in one video!!!! Noice!!! Cheers and 🍻s mate
Ingot & Bullion know something is going on. Can't wait to see them at the new place and that new kiln setup! Looks like the finer details may involve a lot of temperature control along with who knows what all else! Looking forward to seeing you figure it all out.
I think the copper pours turn put to be the most beautiful.
Can’t wait to see you in your new place 👍🏼👊🏼🦖🍺
I love the way molten copper looks. It's like this red juice.
What spun me out the most is that I pick up my mail from the same place and I never knew you lived this close.
Great video. Probably my second favorite after the massive motor meltdown. I love watching you tear stuff apart to melt it down. Looks like the exchanger was giving you a little trouble tho.
You’re only a Hulk Hogan in his prime weight of reaching your goal.Mammoth effort,we’ll done.Good score on the silver too.
So satisfying watching the copper harden just something about it hahah looks great
Bro your still stacking I love it 😎👍💯
Man, I love watching copper freeze! Silver is pretty satisfying, too.
Another amazing video cheers 🍻
Amazing work mate.
What a nice gesture from the donor to have given you those little silver balls.
Those copper ingots appeared to be Gruyere cheese. 😂😂😂
139 kg and you reach the finish line, let's see that there is less and less to go.
Big hug for you and your two boys from Argentina 🇦🇷
It is strange to find hot metal melting through a block of ice so soothing.
That was a kingly gift!
Those copper bars look like some aerated chocolate bars! LOL
I like that silver bar and the coins too!
I know you got another plan for them, and I can't wait to see waht it is!
Thanx for a great vid D!😁
Great video , I love stacking silver 👍
HELLO BIGSTACK! Please continue, even you reach 1 ton, i like your videos they are soft and full of Entertainment. Greetings Sweden.
That's the most beautiful bar I've seen on a video
moving is going to be such a great opportunity to catalog it all and do a book breakdown of what you have, an overview video would be awesome!
Love the green flames
