- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- I had a lot of fun making this episode... I wanted to make some Nordic Gold, which I have never done before. It is a really pretty alloy to make, and I had fun melting it, it reminded me of aluminum bronze, but slightly different. I also picked up some Wood's Metal, aka Cerrobend, aka Lipowitz's alloy from my local metal shop. It was $30/lb, which was pretty pricey in my opinion, but it was fun to play around with in Arizona where I live. It melts at 158°F so no furnace was required. I put it in my car, and if you live in Arizona or some other hot climate, then you know...
Well, I hope you enjoy watching the video as much as I did making it!

It was a hot but fun melt in Arizona this go around. I hope you all enjoy the Cerrobend melt on the dashboard of my car as well as the Nordic Gold skull! It’s incredibly hot, but incredibly fun nonetheless to make this video to share with all of you! Enjoy and stay cool!!!
Neat stuff man! Thanks for sharing.
@@JamesMiddletonIV Thanks James!! 👍
The skull drowning was hilarious. Coins turned out great, that alloy poured like water. I can’t believe how hot the car got but it’s a reminder to watch what I leave in there. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you David! It’s definitely hot, and yet, some idiots in Arizona still somehow forget and leave children and/or pets in their cars, which absolutely blows my mind! Thank you for the nice comment 👍
That was a rally cool melt. I looked up Cerrobend and it said it was toxic. I figured it was because of the lead and cadmium. Definitely do not want to get it to hot. It would be bun to mess with though. Great video and thank you for sharing.
Great video. They keep getting better and better.
Thank you Jim! I appreciate you my friend!
When i first saw you putting the metal in the car, I began to think about how resistant car plastic is to heat.
Just imagine seeing metal melt before plastic. Well I guess you don't have to imagine it lol
I hear you. How crazy is that, that car interiors can hold up to such heat! 👍
God damn GrowingStack!! You have out done yourself again. The Cerrobend, Nordic gold, dashboard melt, badass Bulova watch, rhythm spray bottle coolin off that SICK SKULL!! Hilarious!! The “GrowingStack” raisin the bar on new and clever idea’s!! AWESOME! AWESOME! video brother, thank you for sharin it. Happy 4th. of July my friend!!
Thank you my brother!!! LOVE your comments as always! I was a sweaty mess making this one, but it’s a labor of love I suppose. Now what to do next 🤔
Happy 4th to you too my man. Have a great weekend and have fun! You’re awesome man! So glad to have met you and I’ll keep the videos rollin and the convo going! 👍👊🍻
Awesome job nice skull and great coins thanks for sharing growing stack
Thank you Tim 👍
You're welcome
awesome man I love seeing Nordic Gold getting smelted :)
Thanks GDaddyD!
The Cerrobend looks interesting. Strange to see someone pour with their hands 😅. Skull and coins look amazing!👍🏻
Thanks brother! It was strange to do, it didn’t seem right to use my hands. Definitely a first for me 👍
This was a really cool video. I have never heard of Woods Metal. Great job 👍
Thank you James!!
great job once again top man
Thank you my friend!!
Oh man awesome video! I wanted to see those baby skulls in Nordic
Me too, I’ll make some more 😉
Thanks man!
Oh man, that's so weird watching you pour with your hands! The casts turned out great, nice work!
Tell me about it, it didn’t seem right, the whole thing worked against my brain 🙂
Thanks Kraken!
sorry I'm late.. i didn't realize i had forgotten to click all notifications after i subbed again from the youtube unsubbing incident LOL but i made it!! probably the first time and only time you can literally pour with your hand!!!! everything turned out great.. loved the look of the skull.. the coins were great with all the detail you pointed out showing.. but hey you did good listening to your instinct.. you knew it wasn't hot but your mind said whoaaaa wait a minute to be sure.. another great video down in the books!!! have a great 4th of july my friend!!!!! and as always be safe.. much love and respect to you and yours this holiday!!!
It's summer time here and it's raining. Oh well. Great piece of work well done and I love the rough cast style of the back contrasting with the well formed front.
Thank you for making this video.
Thank you my friend, I hope your doing well.
I’ll have to catch up with you in email once I caught up and things settle down.
Stacks looking good!!!
Just saw you're in AZ!Me too hot AF here,didnt know it could melt metal!!!
It’s a crazy alloy that Wood’s Metal! I had no idea either. I had to buy it to experiment 👍
I'm collecting the materials right now for a life sized human skull pour in Nordic Gold. I'm aiming for 50 pounds total and i know there will be left overs.
i THINK THE SKULL IS A GREAT GEAR SHIFT... a constant reminder that Death is only a few mph away at any given moment...

Thank you James! I couldn’t have said it better myself! I appreciate you!!!!
Double your recipe to fill out the back of that skull! LOL
Looks aweome!
Gotta work on moving into a house so I can melt metal too!
Oh BTW, I sent you a buck with PayPal! Special message attached! :D
Thanx for a great vid buddy!
I know, I wish I would have doubled it to see the full skull and the baby skulls. Thank you for the comment as always, and thank you for the gift! You’re awesome brother! I tried to accept it, but some dummy never verified his info, so I just did but it might take a day or two to complete.
Have a great weekend and I’ll talk to you soon.

🤔Cerrobend does look like an interesting metal. 🤔 I wonder if it could be mixed to make a bronze type alloy?
Im not sure, I wonder with its low melting point that mixing it with another metal that has a higher melting point might boil it and put off some nasty fumes like zinc does. But I’ll have to look it up and see. Thanks John! 👍
@@TheGrowingStack I was going to try it but I looked it up and the cost is from £30 per ounce to £100 per pound plus £21 -£50 postage. maybe in the future 👍
Holy shit. You can melt lead in your car? That is insane.
I know right! And people still manage to leave kids in the car!
Interesting idea. An alloy that has a relatively low melting point above room/body temperature, but low enough to melt in the hot interior of a car. It saves on propane, I guess. Before you poured the other one, I didn't think you'd quite have enough to entirely fill that mold. Still, the result doesn't look at all bad.
Thank you! I wish I’d have weighed out some more for the Nordic Gold, I’ll make up for it next time I do it 👍
better than I an do, but that is a very low bar I am intent on escalating...
Very cool project!
What is the use for woods metal? The Bismuth melts easily enough by itself, what does the lead and cadmium add? A slightly higher melting point?
I've always heard that cadmium is toxic and radioactive. And lead is well, lead. Toxic. Lol
Thanks Justin. When I researched it for this, I guess it’s used as solder and in sprinkler systems in the valves, they set off the system since it melts so low. Also for low temp castings. I knew it was toxic, I don’t think it’s radioactive, but it does make some cool coins👍👍👍
Never woulda thought that one skull would use all your Nordic gold.
Ooh, what about casting a soap-box car? Or just a model about that size. What’s your favorite car??? 😃
Same here! I wanted the little guys too, next time I’ll have to double the batch just to be safe.
A soap-box car would be sweet. It would be really cool to cast all the pieces separately and be able to build it. 🤔
My favorite car was a 1965 Shelby Cobra. I like so many though it’s hard to pick just one. What’s yours Vince?
@@TheGrowingStack I grew up with my brother having a '65 Mustang fastback Shelby Cobra GT, the black-and-gold paint and all. I will never love another car like her. I even have a computer rig built up to look like one. :D
F*&k me sideways...I knew it got hot in AZ, but not THAT hot!!
Nope, nope; _ALL OF MY NOPE!!_
😃👍
I challenge to try is to make a yin/yang symbol. Be difficult due to the two different metals on each side with the dots as well. Be cool if you could do it.
I’ve tried it once a long time ago but I used some primitive methods. I’ve been wanting to give it another go and make it perfect. Check out the my old yin yang video and let me know what you think, I thought it was a fun one. 👍
i cant believe it melted
Me too! It took some time, and I know my car gets hot in the sun, but I’ve never really temp’d it before. Definitely a fun experiment! 👍
هل صب الومنيوم في الماء الثلجي يزيد وزن المعدن ارجو الرد ولا تحبطني
Cadmium…lead…ahhhhhmmmm, thanks for sending poison to me, pal…
It was fun though!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👍👍👍
Hardest part of making Nordic gold is getting everything melted without burning the zinc. Not easy at all, that.
Btw, try not to touch the Wood's metal with bare skin - it's seriously toxic. Use Field's metal instead. It's non-toxic and still melts at 62°C.
He didnt just touch it, he wire-wheeled it. There is Cadmium all over the place now.
@@leocurious9919 true. And lead.
Brasil 👏👏💯👍
👍👍👍
"only 103°F"
My fav part is when you melted metal in your car. That is serious heat. I don't care what kind of metal it is. It still counts! 😂
Thank you Tracy!!! It was so hot in my car, I never really knew that it got THAT hot, I mean, I feel the “heat” getting into it after it sits in the sun for a while, but I didn’t know it was that high!! I don’t stage or pretest things in my videos, as I’m sure you know(from all my fails 😂). I like to give new ideas a chance and film it and see what happens. I was totally surprised, and now I know! You’re the best Tracy!! 😍
@@TheGrowingStack No, you're the best! I knew that people leave their pets in their cars with the windows up from watching the news. 😢 But I had forgotten how HOT that is. If it got any hotter, you could bake bread! Anyway, I always get excited for your videos! I know you probably work 40 hrs. I work overtime all the time and you might as well. Then you make a video. I know you're having fun. But then the fun sort of turns to work. But I think you're doing a fantastic job! I'll keep watching if you keep making. 😀 See you next time, my friend!
Isn't Wood's metal crazy toxic even just to touch? I know the fumes are fatal.
I mean, I’ve heard that, but I washed up good after handling it. I would think I would have to heat it in the furnace to make fumes for it to be dangerous that way.
@@TheGrowingStack Stay safe, man.
@@TheGrowingStack cadmium is toxic if you inhale the fumes or ingest it somehow but is safe to handle, you don't want to do any grinding/sanding or welding with it thats all. I've used woods metal before in setting up fire sprinkler systems so you're good man. And nice work ;)
@@brads3032 Thanks brother!! 👍
You really need to hold wood's metal with gloves. It's not safe for handling.
Hi i like your videos and the ideas you have making cool ingnots but why mix metals dosent it degrese the value🤔 i realy dont mean To disripted anyway but im melter too from finland and i wanna keep my metals phure as bossible so i can make More money when i Will sell them😊 so isit just for fun and show🤔 and sorry my english i can speak but riding very dificult🙈🙈🤣
I mainly do it for fun and to experiment. You would be taking a hit by mixing them, but I don’t mind for the sake of science 🙂
Thanks Jani! 👍
First!
👍
Wood's Metal is toxic
Cast nice things, not skulls
Cast nice things not skulls and shi$t like that
