HOW I 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.

Welcome back to all you beautiful people , How are you all today? Great I hope. Just a simple can meltdown today where I pour my biggest ingot to date As well as a pile of other bars to help fill the shelves. So sit back relax take a load off and enjoy the video. Have a happy safe weekend and I'll see you all hopefully on next week's video 👋🏻😃
Mahalo for the video. You’re crushing it lately.
Best part of the week. For years, the best part of the week!
Scratch the wonder twins between the ears for me!
Maybe it’s explained later in the vid but why do you pull of the ring pulls?
I hope you have been doing great
Keep up mate 💪
@@user-nf8gf7tt3i to melt them.
The fact that something randomly caught on fire and it wasn’t even worth a caption has me howling. That giant ingot is a beautiful thing and I appreciate the effort it takes to make something like that and then turn it into a video.
Haha me too so random and hilarious
Okay I’ll tell you what happened. I had a big box in the 44 gallon drum and when I put the large furnace lid on there it’s started to make the box smoulder so I took the box out thinking it would go out and when I turn back it was fully engulfed in flames, I found it quite humorous as I didn’t even realise until it was completely ablaze 👌🏻😁
@@bigstackD I think you might need to invest in a fire extinguisher for your melting area just in case.
Did You Know ? India mixes cow piss and shit in every indian products😩
I'm not sure what's more impressive, the big bar or the fact you made your 🥾 in the barrel from that far away. Great video as always.
I guess you could say it was just a drop in the bucket!
Did BigStack play Footie in a previous life?
I was very impressed if he got that in two attempts
@@leitem99stss😮 16:26 😮 16:26 😮 16:26 is😮 16:26
Neither i'm most impressed by how neatly he rolls and stores his tarps 😂
As someone who likes to weld and just loves metal, its so satisfying just to see the hundreds of ingots you have
Did You Know ? India mixes cow piss and shit in every indian products😩
My whole family doesn't produce that many empty cans in a year. You must have everyone around you donating cans to your melts. Cool video. can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Did You Know ? India mixes cow piss and shit in every indian products😩
It never ceases to amaze me how little aluminum is in a can, how light it is, and how much work it takes to process it. Now that you've broken in the big devil forge, I can't wait to see what else that will produce!
this guy need to make crusher for aluminium can to be small piece so it not take up space, and easy when melting
@@billykulim5202like a shredder
@@toddgroeger8981
No, shredding makes stuff take up more space!
A crusher that crushed the cans about half as thick as the one he uses, they need to be one contiguous lump to melt easier.
Did You Know ? India mixes cow piss and shit in every indian products😩
Ingot’s eye is looking a whole lot better, and he seems to be happier. The big bar is pretty impressive and your boot shot was amazing. I wonder if there is a copper skeleton in our future. Keep up the amazing work and never stop living your dreams.
Brotha… I spent 10 years in bed, another couple learning to eat solid foods and walk properly. I lost over 100 lbs. Had pancreatitis 5 times, and a double neck fusion with myelopathy this year, 8+ months after the injury while lifting my 225 lb. dad after he fell. I take care of my 85 year old Dad with Parkinson’s and Congestive Heart Failure, and my 80 year old Mom (though she’s a tank, God bless her!). I’m getting there, brotha! Never giving up!
I can’t wait to pursue the type of existence you live, it’s so beautiful! Clear skies, no Chem trails, surrounded by clean air and nature, doing what you love… God bless you!
Thank you so much for sharing these 7 years, I want to watch every video, and will over time, haha! I only found you while recuperating from my neck surgery while when wearing a brace for 9 weeks straight 24/7. When I’m back to 100%, for the first time in 25 years, I will live my dream, and doing what you do will be a part of it! I can’t wait to learn more and get my own furnace and crucibles, and learn this great art!
You’re the best, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
🙏😋❤️
PS: Great driving skills, and a boot kick master! 😋❤️🤙
Chemtrails... you arent very intelligent are you
Hey bigstackD, been watching since both Ingot and Bullion were just puppers. Love watching your vids! Never miss an episode and always can't wait for what you do next. The precision, remove stuff carefully always makes me smile. Bigsnacked always makes me hungry though haha. Loves from Alaska dude!
Hey buddy how are ya mate? What an awesome donation man I really appreciate it you’re an absolute champion. I’m glad you’re enjoying the vids mate and I hope you’re liking these longer ones like a lot of other people. I’ll probably chuck a couple shorter Vids out over the next few weeks just to try to catch up on the property here as it’s so hard to keep on top of stuff at the moment. I still work full-time shiftwork but luckily I can do a lot of my editing on nightshift but even then I struggle finishing the vids each week.
Well enough of my rambling mate I need to go into the shed and figure out what I’m melting for next week‘s video. I’ll probably get sidetracked and spend the day drinking and doing bugger all but at least that’s not a waste of time👌🏻
Take care buddy and talk soon👊🏻😁
I'm a shift worker too! Oil refinery operator myself. You're vids are awesome to relax to man. Night shift is an excellent time to take care of other things. Good luck dude with everything. Also, thanks for such an awesome reply
👊🏻😁
@@bigstackDhow come with all theses sub your not livng of youtube the hell lol
Bro casually donating more than the value of all the incredible work in the video (at least final aluminum total).
Its so relaxing to spend hours and hours of my lifetime watching you doing exactly the same thing over and over again… Greetings from Germany
(Sorry, das muss jetzt sein...)
Hey Schnitte, schon belegt?
Did You Know ? India mixes cow piss and shit in every indian products😩
I love how you have names for your equipment! I applaud you for going through each individual can for this melt! I can only imagine how long that took!
You are amazingly talented with how you manage molten metal and I can’t thank you enough for your videos!
As a metal detectorist I started twitching when I saw all those pull tabs. LMAO! Great show as always.
I just got my first detector only got out 2 or 3 times so far. I’m can-fused why anyone removes them from the cans.
@@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13 Did You Know ? India mixes cow piss and shit in every indian products😩
That was pretty epic. I guessed 20 lbs,, surprised it weighed less.
You certainly had enough to make 2 of those bad boys, and I’d bet you don’t want to deal with another aluminum can for a while.
I think this video is a good testament to the work you put into your editing.
Awesome melt Big D! Maybe not quite as good as a copper melt, but pretty damn impressive!
Missed the BigSnackD moment this week! Would have been hard with so much to melt!
Have a good weekend mate.
Grumpy ?
Buy a Honda 😉
Thanks again buddy you’re a champion. Yeah I did actually have a BigSnackD but I accidentally left it out while editing and also forgot the dog timer. Not to worry it’ll all be back next week I’m just not sure what I’ll do. I want to do a heap of different bits and pieces for Halloween so that might be a relatively long one but I definitely need to make them shorter as I’m simply running out of time each week over here👊🏻😁
@@bigstackDSounds like an excuse to upload a RUclips short. 🙃
@jerryjungle5717 you met the nicest folks on a Honda
👍
This might be my favourite video! Loved the commitment to the huge stack and also the giant iron mold into a giant ingot. Would love more videos where you melt your old ingots into giant ingots or into a lost wax process!
AWESOME !!! I loved how you did different things! That huge ingot was very cool and I can't wait either for you to pour a copper and bronze one! Love the huge furnance.
You live in a beautiful area with the birds singing to you every day. Awesome melt, Thank You for sharing!
Have you ever thought of building a holder for all the cans on your crusher? Like a can magazine feeding into it?
I was thinking the exact same thing. A sort of feed system. I imagined a large plastic or wire funnel or ramp that can stack a few (maybe 20+) cans in it similar to a classic vending machine mechanism with the double stack. Gravity fed would be perfect i think
Did You Know ? India mixes cow piss and shit in every indian products😩
Seeing all those ring tabs in a tub gives me anxiety about HOW LONG the prep must have taken 😅
Did You Know ? India mixes cow piss and shit in every indian products😩
Was really hoping to see a giant ice block melted by the big bar 😅. I can only imagine just how tedious it actually was to crush all those cans and then melt each one. End result is quite the spectacle!
That random, out of context fire had me laughing like a maniac. Love the big bar, great job as always.
Wow, this one must have been tedious to do with just the sheer number of cans involved. Thanks for doing the work so we can sit back and enjoy with our brews.
Tedious and trash. The aluminum in cans is worthless for any kind of machining or casting.
50:49 … how is Ingot’s eye healing up?
Wow, the amount prep work for this melt was insanely impressive, well done!! Nice score with your boot!! Happy and Safe Melting BigStackD!! 🔥🥾🍻💫
Thanx for the info on maximizing your benefits. Your spread is beautiful. So peaceful. And no neighbors to complain!
Man! What a lot of work! I appreciate the time and effort you put into the melt and the video afterwards
.
He needs to round up the local kids and utilize some child labour. Give em some candy afterwards and you can call it ethical.
Longer videos = perfection.
Thank you for making them longer 😌🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
For pours like this, I totally agree. 2 days worth of work is worth at least an hour of screen time.
Crazy how much you added since you hit your original goal! Love these videos.
Wow, all them can's looked a bit intimidating, but it's amazing what you can achieve when you get your head down and get on with it. I love that big ingot like you said seeing one of them in brass or copper would look epic!
Thank you for the nice and simple can smelting video. I am sure it will be great as always!
Well done, my friend, well done! Good choice for the new target! 2222 will come sooner than you think! Watching you crush, melt and pour the molten aluminium was really hypnotic! Lol. Cheers from New Zealand!
Wow, three crucibles at once. Looks like a chore, brother! Great video and awesome forge!
One day when I'm more financially stable, I'm gonna take the plunge and buy a furnace like this. I love this channel and I"m all about making my own ingots.
I'm loving the new Big Boy! Enjoying your content from Texas. In a world like today we need more wholesome entertainment like this.
Thanks for your videos. I literally just poured my 1st four ingots of aluminum in my backyard. Your videos gave me the confidence to give this a try. Thanks for the info!
Great alternative way to reduce volume of beverage cans is to make a shredder for the out of a lawn mower, just drill a hole in the deck of the mower big enough and weld a funnel of sorts on it, then start feeding those cans in. I usually do my weekly batch on Saturdays from 5AM to 11. Great fun. My neighbors are very animated probably just glad they have such an industrious man living next to them. I also build pulse jets as hobby.
What an incredible amount of editing, awesome videos you put out
Mighty impressed with that giant bar. To be honest I was worried that you wouldn't be able to fill it all the way before the metal started solidifying
It's fascinating to see the metal "come to life" during the melting process. Greetings from beautiful Greece, my friend. Thank you for the beautiful videos you make.
Never write to you. I follow your page a long time ago. Your passion is something man. Your video just amazing.
Yes, good to see a simple relaxing can crush and melt. It has been a while.
Great video as always. We really look forward to our Friday night melt on your channel! Love the can crusher too 😊 cheers from Castlemaine Victoria 🎉
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve seen your videos, and it looks like you’ve come a long way! Glad to see you’re still at it!
Another epic melt Bigstackd. I don't believe how good your driving skills are! FAF 😅
Man, this was one of your best pours. I enjoyed every minute of it. Nice shot with that boot, by the way. I guessed that big bar weighed about 12 kilos. I was off by a bit. Thanks for sharing. Keep pouring ...
An impressive melt and an amazing video. The can crushing montage was very pleasing
Now that's a big honkin' bar! I can only imagine the powerful fun you had with breaking down those cans. You're amazing!
Side note: I don't think I've ever seen you cast this idea, but have you ever tried a spider web looking cast before? I just thought it'd be kind of neat to do.
Love the videos! Enjoying them all the way from Los Angeles, USA
Awesome! Cheers for the super thanks mate you’re a champion. Have an Fantastic week and hope to speak with you soon👊🏻😁
WOW the scale of your videos and projects after hitting 1 ton has been insane!
Greetings from Poland! ;-)
Maybe you should consider using a hydraulic press for aluminium cans. After initial squeezing of them, you could use a press to pack them inside a tube, which diameter would be similar to inner diameter of the crucibles. This way you avoid throwing single cans to the pot while melting and speed up the process ;-)
Good evening from California! I love seeing you melt down the cans!
Just reminds me of all the recyclables I sort at work
I absolutely love the big bar!!! Been waiting forever for that. Can’t wait to see one in copper!
I've read that the alloy in cans is designed to be press formed and thus isn't the best for casting. Would be interesting to see can aluminum cast side by side with casting aluminum (broken aluminum car rims can be had fairly cheap) and, assuming there is much of a difference, if you could add something to the can aluminum to get it to cast just as well.
I still think that can crusher is one of the most impressive things on this challenge. How you completely made it by hand and hook it up to a car battery? Ingenious
Thanks for the stress relief. What a good idea to make aluminum bars from cans!
The sounds in this one hit a little different. I would love an endless loop of the pull tabs landing in their bin to soothe me to sleep.
Morning D, been a minute on a can melt, awesome as always, and good to see all is well for you.
I have my furnace running in the background….re-melting a bronze ingot to pour out some small drops to be finished as necklace charms.
Edit-now we want a huge copper ingot by the way.
Edit2-ok you already have it planned 😂
Edit3-no, you’re friggin awesome.
Great Job D ‼️Crazy how you turned all of that into those awesome looking barz . . #1 by far kido -Thanks for the video
I enjoyed this. I figured out that the scrap value of aluminum soda cans is higher than the nickel return, but my husband was not charmed. The scrap yard is further away than the can reception center!
You have a great set-up, but it surely does eat up the hours.
OMG I was so close!!!! it was just over my guess of 7KG! I feel like a metal master at this point. When I saw the weight, my mind got blown by my guess!!!
Anyways, what an excellent haul, incredible melt n pour, this video was a blast to watch!
Small tip! To save on gas, time and handwork put the crushed cans in a small oil barrel (made out of steel). Then put firewood around the barrel and let it burn. To increase efficiency you can have a brick wall around the fire or do it in a pit to keep the heat from escaping.
When it gets to temperature the aluminum cans will melt and you can continuously feed it more cans and wood. Note that you can’t melt a large amount of cans at the same time cause the fridge barrel walls will give in and molten aluminum will spill out. What I would do is to take scoops out of it and make crude bars or pellets that will be remelted later.
This is not a safe way to melt cans it is just a different way to do it DIY without propper gear, and risk a river of aluminium floding your back yard.
Wow I have been busy glad I can relax with you big stack!
37 kilos
I think it's so cool what you do and wish i did it myself! Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching your videos. 👍
And here we go!
I think you may need to rig up some kind of crane system to get the lid on the big furnace on and off safely. Little gantry system or rotator to move it out of the way. You're losing a lot of heat having the system open.
Oh my lord that bit with the jeep hitting the buckets was fantastic. Keep the great vids coming bigstackd
I don't know what's more fun to watch....the can crusher or the actual melt.
Hey D how do you keep metal from sticking to the stirring rod or the spoon? Every time I stir or clear off the slag I gather a ball of metal on each. I have tried heating it until its red hot bit it doesnt stop. Love the new forge BTW
E
YES, NEED MOAR BIG BARS
A couple cans is a big word for such a tiny amount of cans 😂😂😂😂
Love you bro ❤❤❤
Idk why but it was incredible watching the cans get crushed. Keep up the amazing vids, you're awesome!
Thank you for another impressive video.
I think you can use some kind of industrial or homemade shredder for aluminum cans. It can help save time during melting process.
Great melt, nice to see the new forge! You could really use an industrial shredder for melts like this… make aluminum mulch out of those cans first
If there's one thing that I do like about these vids, beside the melting, it's the sound of nature and the numerous birds that can be heard.
I'm Hooked! The Can Crusher and the Furnaces!!
i love your content
I Love Mr. Crusher ❤
Great video! I’m really curious how long it really took to get all the tabs off and crush the cans. You have way more patience than I would. 😂
Probably longer than we have patience for 🤣🤣🤣
your videos are so relaxing, that 52 minutes went past like 2 minutes
I'm so glad my programmer has made this part of my simulation. It makes my nonexistence more tolerable. :-)
This is a cool idea that I feel like you could try to do if you're up to it, hear me out on this:
Making a solid metal skull out of Nordic gold. Having the jaw to go with it is up to you, as well as how big you want the skull to be, whether it be small or normal human sized. I just thought this would be a cool addition to the shelves(not aware if you already did this in the past, if so then I gotta watch that, if not, then at least I offered a new idea for you to try).
I did do an almost full size skull in aluminium quite awhile ago but I’ve always wanted to do one in brass and copper so that will definitely be happening in a future video👍🏻😁
@@bigstackD Just watched the video, amazing btw!
If you can make skulls out of Bronze, Copper, Nordic gold, and Brass, you can use them along side the Aluminum skull to make a summoning circle and summon either a beer or pizza for BigSnackD!
As a heads up to those who are unaware, and an answer to those embarrassed to ask, do you rinse and/or take any other actions to prep your cans?
The prep is to preheat them so there's no moisture. There's no point in washing them out as the only thing in there would be water and various organic compounds. Given the fact that you are using a redox forge, it all leaves as co2. Tldr, make sure can is dry, crush and off you go.
No mate no prep work but I do like to leave the cans out in the open for a few hot days and that normally drys them completely although some of these ones did have a little bit of moisture still in them. In the Aussie heat you wouldn’t need to leave these out very long over summer👍🏻
Another epic length melt ending with a chonky brick. Cant wait to see it in Brass, Copper, and Nordic Gold.
That jeep pull up scene: Like a glove!
This video was randomly recommended to me, I really like the content. Bonus was seeing your beautiful bulldogs. I own one myself, amazing dogs ❤️ keep up the good work, I enjoyed the content a lot. You just got a new subscriber 🤘😎
Well then welcome aboard my new friend, most of my videos are much the same, but always different if that makes sense. No annoying, sponsorships no talking no music just the sounds of the tools and the environment 👌🏻. I release a video every Friday afternoon West Australian time and haven’t missed an upload in almost 7 years , and always show the dogs in the video one way or another, I usually add a dog timer because some people don’t like the little boys for some reason. Anyway, have a great Christmas and speak with you another time👊🏻🎄🐾🐾🍻
I estimated about 10Kg for the big bar. So, I wasn't that far off. I'd love to see one made of copper that size! 😉
Silver coast copper has 100 200 and 300 oz bars he does. He's not on RUclips but I think he has an Etsy shop
What is the purpose behind removing the pull tabs?
Maybe so when he crushes them they don’t become flying projectiles.
Likely for donations. I remember when I was a kid they took tabs as a donation to build wheelchairs or something.
I love the canned melting videos. It’s Uber satisfying
Just started watching from Daylesford in Country Vic. Great to these old arts are not dying out. I restore old pocket watches and wristwatches. It's great when I wind them and they come alive. Cheers. 😎
$38 in recovered aluminum, but spent $100 in propane & gasoline. 👍
Probably a son of a rich guy that trying to prove that he is doing something good for the world :)
@@oleksandrshevchuk1230or it’s just a hobby, not everythings that deep
I wish I was the son of a rich guy then I could quit my full-time job and just melt metal all day. This is purely a hobby that I do that’s why I stack it all up and don’t sell it👍🏻
Lots of fun on this one, seeing things we normally don't like frozen metal in crucibles.
Just a bit of advice from former High Voltage lab responsible. ALWAYS connect ground first. There is no change for you if everything works perfectly. And very good change if there is anything wrong with insulation or anything causing troubles in circuitry
WOW....
3 Forges.
5 Crucible's.
1 Big A## Mold.
Nice. Very nice!
I had a little chuckle when you looked back at the trailer and it was barely touched but what a great video the big boy performs brilliantly much love from New Zealand D
Oh man, I can’t wait to see the bigger copper and brass bars now!
Your precision is right on point, love it Let that boy Ingot scratch the best way he knows how 😂
That was so satisfying! Brilliant video - as always!
Truly the definition of its good but honest work
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! ITS FRIDAY!!! So yeah that was quite impressive with the boot launching, but does anyone else have the funny feeling that the Copper ingots still in front of the chest that haven't been wire brushed, just might be remelted into that bruiser ingot 🤔. I don't know, but it doesn't seem like BIGD to keep unpolished copper lying around. We all know it's his favorite. And well frankly mine also to watch. Keep it up BIGD we all love it!!!!! Side note, I still need a copper coin to go with the brass ones from a couple years ago 😊
Howzit thanks alot for that massive motor melt down Ive been watching it over and over ..good stuff man keep going thanks man...
Бро, это просто лучший канал на свете, а пёсики это отдельный вид искусства
the amount of time u put in for these videos y'all should be grateful
