Oh my, They are wonderful my friend. You help so many folks all the time. I am honored to know you and really enjoy the pieces of yours I have. Being happy with our pours is what we are all about and continues to give us purpose and drive. great to watch you working today fella. Pour away eh ! Too bad the graphie can't be glazed like ceramic cups. It would be a blessing to all of the pourers that use a elec. furnace.
You need to make your bars available to big silver Ecommerse in United States. You work is amazing and it's only gotten better and better through the years.
Hail the new little one that was born To William and Kate Of Cambridge 🇬🇧 I think they're an awesome family.. And the awesome video my friend Of you pouring and stamping that helps people like me When I start pouring.. I would love One of your bars.. I see The table and a has tail feathers for Arrows, stamped out .. I heard you're a good Archer..🔰.... You're good at what you do Buddy...
You should use a ball pin hammer for make those stamps. They have a more evenly distributed weight on the head and are used for precision hammer strikes in industry
I am curious, you mention that you can't just melt 31.1 grams in a crucible and pour it because it leaves graphite pollution, how come eyeballing the silver instead of pre weighing it out avoids the problem? I don't understand. Also, if I use a ceramic dish crucible instead of a graphite one and put pre weighed out shot in it that should avoid that problem correct? Thanks!
Great questions - happy to explain. The graphite is lighter than the silver so comes out with the last parts of the silver as it is poured from the crucible. The first 90% of the pour is clean - it is just the last 10 % that has the graphite. We could indeed use a ceramic dish crucible and use this method but it is a very labour intensive one and also one that we are not very familiar with. I like the way we do it and it yields some lovely looking bars and hey, some free silver for people too!
Would it be easier for you to cast consistent weight bars if you weighted out the raw material before you melted it & just had the exact amount in the crucible before you heated it?
These are all sold as it's an old video but we have got some 100g bars on our website, www.backyardbullion.com and we ship worldwide! You can checkout there!
Yes indeed we can - but you then get all the horrible graphite coming out the crucible. By doing it the way I do it allows a nice clean and attractive pour to come out the other end.
Hi Diana, sorry someone snapped that one up very quickly already. Usually £25 would be about $35 and then maybe $ for shipping. If you wanted to buy 4 or more then it would be free shipping to the USA. You can buy them directly via my website here: backyardbullion.com/product/pre-order-2018-silver-forum-bar-1oz-hallmarked-hand-poured-silver/ Or you can get in touch directly (email me on byb@backyardbullion.com) and we can sort out a price without PayPal Fees included.
lulu0462 I bought brand name sterling table ware and refined it to 99.99+. All the sterling was bought below silver spot. Dissolved it in nitric acid. Dropped out the AG using pure copper. And lastly used electrolysis to get 99.99+.
Best place for you to look is my website - there are multi item listings for all of the sizes/shapes we currently can make. We cannot do 1gram bars but 1/2 oz is about as small as I go. backyardbullion.com/product-category/hand-poured-silver-made-to-order/
Great channel and video. I’m in the Marine Corps and I don’t get paid very much but I would still like to start getting into investing in silver. Your videos have helped and have given me insight. Do you have any silver samples for sale that I could purchase to help get me started? That’d be great if you did!
I could possibly, I have thought about taking some of the better looking bars and stamping them up - just up against a time deadline at the moment and want to power through to make the full 200 bars
Yes, but as I explained in the video the quality of the bar will not look nice. Often you get graphite come out as well as the silver and the simple act of dumping everything out yields a very different looking (and not so nice) bar. It's why we make them the way we do, so they look really nice.
Well, you can drop me an email to byb@backyardbullion.com and we can talk about selling to the USA. 1000 Oz is a lot and will be quite heavy and valuable to ship, but I do ship to the USA all the time so certainly possible. Drop me an email and we can look to arrange something
Maybe you can help me with a problem I am having. When I see everyone pouring bars their bars look amazing. Last night i was playing with my new to me kiln and just attempting to pour a little 1 ounce bar in 925 my bars just look like trash, worse by far than any of your rejects. Im using a small amount of flux, im getting it nice and hot, im warming my graphite mold, im pouring fast but not crazy fast. What am I screwing up? is my silver too cold? not pouring fast enough? It just seems like it gets into the mold and just instantly cools into these ugly unamalgimated blobs. Help?
@@BackyardBullion Thank you so much. These were just practice bars. Im planning to refine them and other silver anyway so whenever I get my silver cell put together ill turn them into .999 Makes sense though. Thank you very much
@@BackyardBullion that would be due mostly to copper content correct? I ended up getting some better pours using the map gas method but one of them has a copper color on the top. Im thinking I heated it up so much that some of the copper separated out? Short of refining with a silver cell is there a less work involved way to get it to 999? pretty much thats it isnt it? Ive messed around with smelting a little in the past but it was typically with aluminum....which is easy by comparison.
Do you need a licence to make silver bullions? If so I’ll get one and add it to my collections of licences with include a fishing, sneezing and I also have a licence to cough. Just waiting for them to make a licence to breathe so I can get that as well.
You don't need a licence to make it - you need to have it hallmarked and assay tested if you want to sell it and call it silver. That is the law here in the UK.
Backyard Bullion ok thanks mate. I’m from Australia and yes I’m sure the rules will be fairly similar here. Guess I’ll have to do that process if I plan to sell what I make. I like your ripple effect. Try doing it with cooper and other metals or does it only work with silver?
Why don't you put a tray on the scale and tare it to 0; then you can premeasure your 31.1 min grams of shot instead of the trial and error method you appear to be suing?
funny how the people overseas are so scared of their government they will not stamp things. one thing I am glade of wear I live is I do not have to worry about this. and places that do a lot of stamping actuley own a computer for testing and print the report selling it with the item.

I love watching the process of making poured silver creations. So much talent and creativity in this community
It is a very talented community for sure. Thanks for stopping by

Thanks my friend, appreciate the kind words!
I just bought everything I need to start pouring! I'll record and post my first attempt.
How did it come out?
Love the process and just seeing the bar come to life from start to nearly finish 👍
Best finish - this is the thing that frustrates me sometimes as I want to get them all done right away!
Awesome!!! What an amount of work - in every pour! Thanks big lad!
Thanks my friend!
You need to make your bars available to big silver Ecommerse in United States. You work is amazing and it's only gotten better and better through the years.
Thanks very much for the feedback - one day I will try to expand out to the big dealers but it is hard to even.get noticed.

Ppl lust for poured silver, it'll happen!
Yes they are so beautiful! 😍💙
What dimensions is the mold in mm's to make 1oz Bar in silver please.

Do you mind me asking where on earth you can find someone to make custom metal stamps like this? It seems to be very difficult overseas.
If i have road rash type scratches on a poured bar can I clean it with a torch?
You should use a ball pin hammer for make those stamps. They have a more evenly distributed weight on the head and are used for precision hammer strikes in industry
Thanks for the tip, I will check it out.
Question, where do you get your punches from?

Would it be easier for you to cast consistent weight bars if you weighted out the raw material before you melted it & just had the exact amount in the crucible before you heated it?
Can you weight the quantities of silver before melting so you can control the result or its hard,very good job...
Beautiful little bars
Thanks!
thank you for this video, it was very edifying. looking forward to trying my hand at pouring one day now!
How can I purchase some of your poured silver bars? I think that you are doing an wonderful job
Thanks my friend, best thing to do is to drop me an email to byb@backyardbullion.com and we can make items to order for you. Easily done 👍 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Were do get the silver shot from
Great stuff - could you tell me how many mm in diameter your logo stamp is? Thanks so much!!!
What temp are you getting the furnace up to?
I pour my silver between 1030 and 1050 degrees
How do I get these? Is it possible to get these shipped to the US?
These are all sold as it's an old video but we have got some 100g bars on our website, www.backyardbullion.com and we ship worldwide! You can checkout there!
Can you weigh the shot then melt it instead of guessing
Yes indeed we can - but you then get all the horrible graphite coming out the crucible. By doing it the way I do it allows a nice clean and attractive pour to come out the other end.
Wow....now I want some of those. Can I get them here in the States?
Yes, i ship internationally, backyardbullion.com/product/2018-silver-forum-bar-1oz-hallmarked-hand-poured-silver/
Hi BYB! Is that one still available? It would go very nicely with the bars that I have already ordered. 😍
Unfortunately this #111 has been sold already, got snapped up within the first 30 minutes
Backyard Bullion That's what I figured, but I thought it was worth asking. Great video! I'm looking forward to receiving my bars. 😊
Lovely work sir. I am behind at work cause watching your videos=P love your work! Cheers
Get back to work! Or....just watch my videos 😉😉😉
Hi is it still possible to buy these bars ?
Very nice Keep up the good work 😃👍💯
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful work as usual my friend.
Thanks!
its been 2 years and just came across this,..you offer 100oz bars, too?
The largest size we offer is a little over 1kg, not got to the 100 oz size yet!
I loved it!! Cool!! No.111 is a perfect 3. Has anyone purchase it yet? What is the cost converted to dollars?

Thanks for your email.
Pleasure is all mine
Where do you buy the stamps from
I had the stamp made for me by an engineering company
Yay live!
Make longer live ones if possible please!
Thanks for the feedback, one day!
Where do you get your silver for smelting
From Estonia
lulu0462 I bought brand name sterling table ware and refined it to 99.99+. All the sterling was bought below silver spot. Dissolved it in nitric acid. Dropped out the AG using pure copper. And lastly used electrolysis to get 99.99+.
This was a fun video!
Also, where can you get those custom stamps?
www.mshaw.co.uk/
What is the cost of the stamps?
£100 or so for them
Where do I find your silver poured bars for purchase here in USA 🇺🇸? I live in Florida USA so you live in USA or sell!
I ship internationally!
Yes sir , how much do you charge for 1 oz bars? Do you sell or make 1 gram bars ?
Pricing for 1oz bar, 10oz bar?
Best place for you to look is my website - there are multi item listings for all of the sizes/shapes we currently can make. We cannot do 1gram bars but 1/2 oz is about as small as I go.

Good to hear you are getting into silver AJ. All of my silver is available on my website, www.backyardbullion.com
Dropping the Marine corps lines purpose was ....
What is the problem exactly?
I actually really like some of those reject bars, you could sell some? Like when you sold the tombstone error bar.
I could possibly, I have thought about taking some of the better looking bars and stamping them up - just up against a time deadline at the moment and want to power through to make the full 200 bars
I like ugly bars. I always buy the ugliest bars at the bullion shop.
Hello. Where do you buy the molds? I want to make Dinosaur pours. Or, do you make Dinosaurs?
I don't currently have a dinosaur mold, but you could contact GNG machine works for custom moulds.
Thank you.
Super interesting video mate 👍 would buying silver shot be a way to stack silver but not necessarily melt it down ,just keep it for weight ?
You could do - but it would not be capital gains exempt like the Britannia and selling it on would be difficult in bulk
Looks good
Thanks my friend!
I've been trying to get in touch via mail and on Twitter. Would very much appreciate a quick note from you. All the best & amazing videos!! Lisa
If you weight your silver beads first than every bar will be the correct weight
Yes, but as I explained in the video the quality of the bar will not look nice. Often you get graphite come out as well as the silver and the simple act of dumping everything out yields a very different looking (and not so nice) bar. It's why we make them the way we do, so they look really nice.
I quite like that some of your bars are not perfect this could be your signature sign and their hand made love e'm
That is the whole part of the brand!
You should look into a more sensitive scale that goes into the thousands on the decimal place.
Just no need for a set of scales that accurate. The two decimal place ones are just fine.
2020 out yet?
Not yet, looking like around late march at this stage
that was amazing thank you sir
Thanks☺️😘
Really cool!
Thanks!
Very cool
Glad you enjoyed the show!
Nice 👍🏼

925 silver always pours like this, you want to try using 999 silver it has much better proporties for pouring and will get the same results I do!
@@BackyardBullion Thank you so much. These were just practice bars. Im planning to refine them and other silver anyway so whenever I get my silver cell put together ill turn them into .999 Makes sense though. Thank you very much
No worries, glad to help. It is the fact that 925 silver oxidises a lot quicker so it's cooling rate is vastly increased
@@BackyardBullion that would be due mostly to copper content correct? I ended up getting some better pours using the map gas method but one of them has a copper color on the top.

Why not weigh exactly 31.103 then melt it and pour so it doesn't go over in weight.
Because you will end up with a very ugly bar with no ripples and a lot of nasty graphite
Have you ever considered accepting crypto currency as payment? There are ways to accept such and then have fiat sent to you
I accept Bitcoin, Ethereum and litecoin as payment already.
Yes, I still accept bitcoin - just email if you want to get something!
Your awesome
You are too kind.
Re watching this, i realise it would be cool if you sold “wonky bars” as some silver pieces with a lower premium （maybe even unhallmarked)
I would rather have the best looking products possible to be honest.
Yes i realise that now and that also in hallmarked would have no garuntee and othor problems.
epic!
