    Hello all you beautiful people👋🏻Something a little bit different in today's video something I haven't done before and a great gift from my friend. A copper crab cooker with a hole in it so why not add it to the stack. So sit back take a break and enjoy today's video and I will hopefully see you all next Friday😁

      That was pretty neat!
      I had a question if it hasn't already been asked. I've seen other people use WD-40 as the release agent instead of graphite powder since it creates a more even carbon layer for release (and fewer holes). Is that something you've tried, or would look into trying?

    1 Star for Interaction. You reply with your fans extremely well!
    1 Star for Keeping us watching. Now with your holiness. Prior was BigSnackD
    1 Star for All you do. Kept us in the loop during the move. Sharing video of Ingot and Bullion (a personal matter). Sharing yourself and what you do as well as showing others "how to" just by an e-mail.

    Been watching these videos for quite some time now, and I have to say: I never realised just how much I love copper until I found these melts. The colour of the metal, the blues and greens from its oxides, how liquid it gets when molten, and the sound of that pour. It's just such a wonderful material

    Always nice to look at and constantly funny. - When I was 14 years old (1984), I was very busy with it. I also still have a small treasure trove in the basement. For many years no longer looked at. I have looked now actually and found there: Approx. 70 kg tin, 165 kg copper, brass & bronze in ingots, as well as a few small bars of silver, zinc, bismuth and indium. - Nice - Thank you

    You are genuinely one of my favorite RUclipsrs. I follow so many creators, but have been watching you for about 2 years. You are still the only one I specifically set time aside for on Fridays. Being on the US East Coast, your videos go live ~3am, so I can't always watch the moment a video is posted...but I always watch in the first 24 hours or so. You truly are one of the underappreciated greats, and I am SO glad I found your channel! ❤️
    Technical question out of curiosity though...I've noticed that sometimes skimming the slag from a melt, you use the metal stick thing you use in today's video, but other times, you use the slotted spoon. Is there a reason for that choice, or is it just whatever you feel like using on a particular day/melt? I've always been intrigued by fire and molten metal, but I'm clumsy as hell and quite injury-prone, so it's just safer to live vicariously through you! Lol.
    Thank you for all your hard work bringing us all amazing content, congratulations on the new place, and please give Ingot and Bullion lots of hugs, kisses and pets from me and my husky Forest! ❤️🐾😊

    • @dracothewarrior4316
      @dracothewarrior4316 Год назад +2

      I think it depends on the amount of slag. You may notice that when he's melting aluminum, there's a ton of slag, and he always uses the spoon, but with other metals, like copper, there isn't nearly as much slag and he uses the stick

    • @bigstackD
      @bigstackD  Год назад +6

      Yeah mate just like Draco said it really depends on the metal .With copper there is such a minimal slag that sometimes I don’t even skim it I just leave the bits of ash and stuff in the Crucible and just pour carefully but with aluminium and brass it’s normally got quite a few scoops so I used to big spoon. The slotted spoon is really no different than a normal spoon which is what I had on hand at the time. You just need to make sure to heat them up nice and hot so it will stop the metal sticking to them👍🏻😁

    You are now 6 lbs over a Customary Ton (2000 lbs flat). You've been sticking with your guns through and through, and it's very clearly paid off in seeing that beautiful treasure room.
    Love seeing what you've done thus far and hope to continue doing so. Idk if the Metric Tonne will spark the end of the channel, or if more will come beyond that, but in the event that it's the former, I wish you nothing but the best in this home stretch for you!

    What an absolutely gorgeous bar that pushed it past the 2000 pound mark. Also hit the US 1 ton Mark! Wonder what month of 2023 will we reach the goal?
