Sreetips. As a scientist, I love what you are doing. I know NOTHING about processing precious metals; my expertise is in the biological sciences. That said, I love how hard you work to show the necessary steps that need to be taken to ensure that dangerous chemicals are treated with respect. Most TH-camrs don’t care about fume hoods or lab safety. Your videos are like nerd ASMR. Keep doing what you do! The scientific community approves!
@@sreetips if you don't mind me asking you. Where did you get your fire wool at and also where did you get that gold melting dish at. And how many ounces can that hold? I am gold mining and prospecting. Finding some nice 18 K natural gold. And I need a new melting dish. Thanks so very much. I really appreciate your time and help. And I just love all of your helpful videos.
I like the long videos, call me weird but I love watching you refine precious metals while im trying to rest. I am recovering from pneumonia and these have helped me keep my mind off my pain
I just can’t stop watching either. The entire process is so cool. Then the final product is mesmerizing and it doesn’t tarnish. Its malleability is so cool also. You can make things with it. There is no wonder why it stands behind all money.
I'd like to take a second to remind the people who come in here thinking that this VERY hardworking, researching, video editing, chemical, glassware, and supplies buying husband and wife ....are NOT suddenly on the Fortune 500 list... only because you are constantly seeing them refining and displaying what can look like large amounts of Gold, Silver, and Platinum Group Metals....This labor of love has been on TH-cam for way over a decade....and I love everything they do. Well done, Senior Chief!
Beautiful bar/pour. You have mastered this and its a pleasure to watch. Ive done 3-4 refines now from watching your videos and I learn more with every video, both old and new.
@@alexanderwoolley1623 Lol literally _anyone_ can collect enough scrap, and with the right knowledge and equipment, do this at home. I have no idea why that seems so far fetched to you
Beautifully done! Thank you for all you do. You inspired me to set up copper refining cells which I use to produce very pure copper I cast and hammer into usable items, often for the kitchen, so I am confident they are fully lead free. Thanks again. This is all such great fun.
That’s fantastic, I’d like to see a video of that. Call your channel “The Copper Smith” and make copper refining videos. With ignorance abounding about precious metals, you may have struck gold in the form of copper. Good luck!
@@sreetips Thank you so much. That is exactly what I have been considering. Almost no one knows the processes required to turn scrap copper wire tubing etc. into forgeable material. I worked on it for almost 10 years to get where I am now. You have been a great help and inspiration, thank you.
I really admire the effort you take to treat and refine the silver and gold. I know it would drive me crazy but you make it look easy 🥰 From Australia 😊🇦🇺
I never stopped impressed watching literally gold falling out of the solution this Gold Dust literally coming out of this clear liquid it's amazing it's modern day Alchemy
Another great video. The gold sponge left after dissolving out the silver and base metals looked about the best I've seen based on the color so I'm not surprised the final bar came out as good as it did. You were pouring off a fair amount of fine gold while rinsing so I imagine that's where some of those grams went. It's hard to capture the look of pure gold on camera and of course you can't record that weird feeling of something that small being way too heavy for its size that gold or platinum gives.
It amazes me how this yellow metal can be so captivating. No wonder it became real money by default. Paper money needs third party validation and is merely a promise to pay. Gold is final payment. It stands on its own.
the best middle of the night 44 mins spent this week on youtube fascinating to watch for someone that knows nothing about chemistry I couldn't take my eyes off it and at one point the fact the gold was in a liquid state and not molten blew my mind a bit. clearly, a lot of hard work but that end product is worth it
This should be taught in high school chemistry classes. Then if they want to do a fund raiser, the chem class could collect jewelry and computer parts and while raising funds, their experiments could be graded.
At work today, getting to use the acetylene torch finally (auto body frame work) Reminded me of your videos, had to stop by and watch some of one on break. And this is an excellent video to pick!
That was the most beautiful sponge gold the gold was beyond beautiful. This is something that is amazing to me.. Your a brilliant fella StreeTips this was really mesmerizing to behold!! This is an amazing science an skill .. Thanks for sharing this with us ✌🏼💗👩🏼🔬
I just re-watched the $27k bar refining last night, and everything about your videos from processes, presentation and production quality has vastly improved since then. Nice work. In a future video, can we get you to take one of the larger cornflakes out and break it open after dissolving the silver and base metals out of them?
Me too. interested in it's texture and how malleable it is , does it snap in half, bend, crushed in pliers or some thing. I watched one of the videos where the stir bar had beat a batch of sponge and it had looked like gold metal was stuck to it with what looked like chunks of beaten gold metal on the bottom of the beaker. I have often wondered if that sponge was put into an enclosed die would the product come out as gold metal. Thanks for the videos.
I know I'm not seeing exactly what you are, but relative to the other videos, I was also sitting breathless, staring at it. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Simply marvelous. I enjoy watching your videos so very much. Thank you for explaining everything so well. (Even though by now, I'm anticipating the steps.) Sreetips, happy Veteran's Day. Thank you for your service and best wishes across the pond from Germany.
My dad was a Experimental Diving Instructor for the Navy. He was also a Sargent Aviation Specialist 101st. His base was in Panama. He told me about propellents, fuel sources for x craft he flew for NASA. He made the first mobile decompression chamber for the Army. For deep sea recovery. He said the Navy would always ask him to borrow it. Only metallurgy he taught me was how to use metal as a propellant. .
I was a main propulsion engineer in the navy. But I flew commercial instrument multi engine aircraft for a while afterward. We have things in common. I invented the first weed eater as a kid in 1969. I was given a chore to trim the weeds around the base of our house before I could go with my friends. I had mounted a Cox .049 model airplane gas engine, with propeller, on a piece of wood and used it to finish the job in ten minutes. Would have taken an hour to trim it with hand-held cutters.
Sreetips is not only a good amateur chemist, he's an excellent teacher. I know, I taught math and science to vision impaired students at the high school level. I strove to be as clear, concise and exacting as he is. We all knew who the best teachers were. I hope I was one of them. My students seemed to think so. Made some of my colleagues jealous I heard over the years. Lol!
I've been watching your videos for many years now never seen gold look so shiny and beautiful while you were melting it this has got to be your best ever ithink it's more pure than three 9s fine awesome work
Sreetips, that gold bar is so perfect, stamping it would do it a disservice. The colors it's reflecting is comparable to diamonds! Dude, man to man, this is one I'd keep and not sell. It's just too beautiful.
I'm sure it must feel pretty awesome being an alchemist, Mr Sreetips... ( bows, averts gaze) jokes aside, I can almost see you smile through youtube. must be sweet feeling "making" gold Sir.
The science if Chemistry is such a cool thing, that you can add certain acids that will dissolve the Silver and base metals but leave the gold intact, then another acid to dissolve the gold into a solution itself and that Liquid gold is breathtaking in and of itself, to look at it and know that it contains PURE gold and then condensing back out of solution into a solid and melting it down to pour it into mold for storage. The entire process is Amazing and totally incredible that we ever figured out such a process to purify precious metals...I always love watching your channel and seeing the stunning result...A Gold Bar! I have seen the Purest gold in the world at the Canadian mint and a camera simply cannot do it justice, when you see it, even in it's adulterated form from mining or panning, but to see the result of the purifying process the Royal Canadian Mint puts it through to achieve the purity it has and then to hold it in your hand and stare into it, the Luster of it, the weight and no other metal on the earth has the same properties, that it can be hammered into ultra thin sheets without cracking or any other damage truly is amazing. Like you say, Sreetips, words fail to convey the beauty and captivating luster that no other metal has. Always fun to watch your process yield such beautiful bars of Gold! Thank you, as always for sharing!!!
That gold bar definitely gotta be 99.99 fine Gold. I love those ripples on the top. Most certainly perfecting the art of pure refining and bar casting. Definitely takes alot of practice, alot of patience and learning from little mistakes. I can't wait until I'm Evan 70% as good as your self. Cool.

How pure will that be if u melt gold an silver mix
I like the long videos, call me weird but I love watching you refine precious metals while im trying to rest. I am recovering from pneumonia and these have helped me keep my mind off my pain
I like the way you have further refined your refining, both the video editing and the actual refining. Great job.
I just can’t stop watching either. The entire process is so cool. Then the final product is mesmerizing and it doesn’t tarnish. Its malleability is so cool also. You can make things with it. There is no wonder why it stands behind all money.
Gold is money. All other forms are just money substitutes.
You’re absolutely correct. I should have said that gold stands behind all paper notes.

I don't know how long I've been watching you but I'll never get over how quickly the little bars cool off in water for you to pick them up so quickly.
One of, if not the best bar I've seen poured on this channel.. bravo sir.
that half melted sponge looks amazing!!
Without a doubt, the absolute coolest melt I've ever seen!

Good evening from England.. 🏴
Good morning
Good evening
I watched so many refining videos from you now and they are still always satisfying to see, especially with such results :D
I just love watching you make forbidden orange drink .. and this refining was extra clean.
I really admire the effort you take to treat and refine the silver and gold. I know it would drive me crazy but you make it look easy 🥰
From Australia 😊🇦🇺
One of your most flawless bars yet.
Absolutely stunning bar, well done! You are a inspiration!
You’re welcome. Pure gold, like those we will never forget. Thank you Sir. 👍👍🤟
At one point I was clapping at what I saa 😅 Thank you for another great video!!
Love watching you work and enjoying your hobby. And you're right, that bar is Beautiful!
This may be your finest work yet. Your opus! Well done, Senior Chief.
Your refining process is impressive! The detail you show in your videos is awesome :)
That did turn out to be a beautiful bar. Very nice work 👏
I never stopped impressed watching literally gold falling out of the solution this Gold Dust literally coming out of this clear liquid it's amazing it's modern day Alchemy
Love when the new videos come out. I find myself having to rewatch old Sreetips videos to pass the time!

Wow, this gold bar is stunning. I also love seeing those crystals growing in the silver cells. 👍

The gold in the melt dish during melting really was quite shiny and beautiful.
Very well done, sir !
All those stories and memories of love melted away..
I am impressed with your incremental improvement approach. It is the best way.
Awesome video, brother! That ingot turned out surreal looking. So amazingly beautiful! 😍
Thanks for the upload and your knowledge!
Simply amazing and great details. Pure Gold is breathtaking. $7K in a small bar.
This is amazing that stump out is used in refining gold!! The ppl that came up with this are genius
Hey man- I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. thx, Matt
Breathtaking indeed! Thank you for all your Tips.
Even though ive seen over 100 of youre videos , it never gets old and you seem like a decent dude
Beautiful, I'm gonna own one of your bars one day I swear. I'm saving up as we speak.
Despite the fact I'm not holding the bar I can tell it is beautiful... a small masterpiece of refinement ;) Very enjoyable to watch from start to end
This is my new favourite channel, fascinating stuff. Great narration!
Welcome, thank you!
Imagine refining silver and gold at the same time? This man has figured it out.
Double dippin!
It's all about efficiency.
beautiful, and you eliminated the little imperfection of the last refining! Sreetips is a perfectionist. (big smile here!)
Beautiful bar and a great video !
This should be taught in high school chemistry classes.
Then if they want to do a fund raiser, the chem class could collect jewelry and computer parts and while raising funds, their experiments could be graded.
Just gotta say I really enjoy your videos
love these videos! it looks like an ungodly amount of work though but it also looks fun so definitely worth it!
It’s lots of work, but the rewards are tremendous.
At work today, getting to use the acetylene torch finally (auto body frame work) Reminded me of your videos, had to stop by and watch some of one on break. And this is an excellent video to pick!

In a future video, can we get you to take one of the larger cornflakes out and break it open after dissolving the silver and base metals out of them?
Yes
Me too. interested in it's texture and how malleable it is , does it snap in half, bend, crushed in pliers or some thing.
I watched one of the videos where the stir bar had beat a batch of sponge and it had looked like gold metal was stuck to it with what looked like chunks of beaten gold metal on the bottom of the beaker.

Great video is always that bar looks beautiful so happy Veterans Day and thank you again for your service sir keep up the great work
Thank you!
Maybe one day I’ll have enough to make a 4ozt bar. Keep up the great videos internet friend. 👍🏻🇺🇸
I have enough foils now for a 4g bar, lol.
@@Alondro77 holy smokes! You make videos on it?
Edit: Dang it… gr not OZt. My bad.
Yeah… that’s probably me too. 😂👍🏻
I will never have to refine any ki ds po precious metals but your videos have brought valuable knowledge to me my friend ♥️
absolutely stunning!!
So cool watching temp waist container clear up when you dump solution off gold after precipitation 👌
Master of ur craft sir ... gorgeous work
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.
You found that stirring rod at a yard sale. You've got some interesting neighbours!

There’s a boot on my throat in the form of debt. I must sell it to get that awful boot OFF MY NECK!
Oh man thats a very good lookn bar!
what a beauty ..... another great video sreetips !
Absolutely beautiful bar, sreetips!
Watching that melt dish gives me the gold fever

Thanks Roger
4oz. Woohoo. Looking forward to it.
Looks different this time when trying to melt the sponge and it also took longer. Must be more pure! Awesome!
I turn the flame down real low so as not to heat it too high and cause loss.
@@sreetips Awesome!
