Hey guys how are you all? In today’s video I meltdown a subscribers saxophone and have a lot of trouble doing so. It melts fine but I have a little trouble casting it. I’m not too excited with the end result although it’s still a welcome addition to the stack , as well as the saxophone piece I made I do a nice mini replica gold bar and an awesome Sea Of Thieves coin. So sit back check it out and hope you enjoy it but most importantly have an awesome weekend👋🏻😁
Meh, look at the condition it was in when he got it, it was a goner, and I played E flat alto. but the cost to restore it, would have been too prohibitive. Besides, it made a beautiful little faux gold bar.
As a music teacher of almost 20 years, I have wanted to do this to a saxophone or two before when they were played poorly. But casting it into a quarter and eighth note was pretty cool.
Did you read his melting schedule? *Yesterday:* Sh^t was melted *Today:* Melt the other sh&t *Tomorrow:* Hit the scrapyard for more sh!t *The Day After:* Keep melting *Next Week:* Melt the rest of the sh%t *After Next Week:* Get more sh1t to melt *Whenever:* Dumpster dive for sh♫t to melt 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@alexisgrunden1556 I was totally wondering what that little whiteboard said!!! Thank you for taking the time to type it out for those of us who can't read quickly!!🥰🥰

Same, I've seen some absolutely beat down Sax's get fixed... (mine was in poor-ish condition when it was bought for me, but my family spent some money had all the pads replaced, linkages properly tightened, dents removed, and then refinished (black nickel body, polished silver plating on the back of all the pads, and pearl keys.) So when I see this it makes me want to scream. But, I know that not everyone wants to save instruments when they get older, and some people don't want to put more money into what they see as a lost cause. I had to skip the actual chopping/crushing destruction... I just couldn't watch it.
That saxophone was like old cars at the junkyard, some car people can't watch old cars get crushed. They are trashed and can be made into something new.
@Ignatius Q. Snerd, II, Esq. you sir, mister Esquire, have clearly never been in the room with a group of saxophonists who are running their mouthpeice warm-ups. It's as if somebody sat on 50 rubber chickens simultaniously, then stood up.
Why would Anyone "thumbs down " any of these videos? I, personally, appreciate all the time and energy you put into each of your videos and the casting, melting, prep before and after! Until someone can do better, STFU!
Probably woketards who don't like the fact that he's an Aussie patriot. We have people in this country who actually think displaying the Aussie flag is somehow "racist". These vermin are everywhere.
Yes you definitely have to much oil in your sand like we talked about. I also think it’s about time to make a new wooden flask 🤣 then again mine aren’t much better 🍻🍻🍻
Hey, seeing online that plastic 3D printing folks are putting glass sheets on their platters to keep the plastic from sticking, kind of like your cardboard to keep your crucibles from sticking.
I absolutely adore your pups, I have two frenchies myself (One fawn and one brindle) and seeing another pair just like mine across the world from me warms my heart!!
Watching you rip apart a saxophone made me feel physically ill but fun fact, my saxophone was made in the '60s from recycled WW2 artillery shells, some of which had been made from recycled church bells and other instruments
It’s Friday!!! Time for a great melt. I loved the to do list. The gold bar and coin look awesome. The musical note has character. Keep up the fantastic work man.
Honestly Matey I’m pretty sure the petrobond has way too much oil in it. I see everyone doing the exact same castings in the states and overseas and everywhere else but no one ever has the problems I do?! And before you say it yes I know I can’t cast for shit!🤦🏻♂️ The Petrobond i use is made by my mates company & I’m sure as shit they put way too much oil in it because I just cannot get any success with it half the time 🤷🏻♂️. Having said that it is my mates company and he is very close to perfecting the mixture but personally I think there’s too much oil in it. I have told him that a few times but we’re going to get it sorted soon👊🏻.
Awesome melt man!! Gonna have my nephew over later today & we're gonna cut up a couple AC compressor pumps, pull the copper outta them & melt it all down with an already overflowing crucible!! Up to 110lbs currently & the other NIGHT I found out the value of copper per pound went up in the states from roughly $4.25 to $4.73ish per pound!!😁🤑
Your scale seems pretty sensitive: could you show us the weight difference from before grinding/sanding/polishing and after? I know it won't be a huge number, but I'd be interested to know how much you have to take off to make them look so nice.
Hello D...I love, love, love that miniature replica of a gold bar! It was so sweet and I'd love to have it. I'd be proud to display it on my mantle. The double sided coin also came out fantastic! It showed so much detail and it is quite impressive! Unfortunately the plaque with the musical notes had that imperfection but I knew you would gladly add it to your stack. Are you sure you can't squeeze more melting on that schedule of yours? 😂 The boys are looking healthy and well taken care of. Have a great week and I'll be looking forward to the next one. 👍🐾💙✌
I don't know why more places don't serve home-fries on a skewer like this, they are awesome! I only ever see them at events and shows with a food court side area or night markets. Nice choice of melt material today, too bad it didn't pan out all the way for the sax but the coins and bar were top notch. Did I see a silver tea-set in your 'to be melted donations'? I'd love to see you work with silver, assuming the devil forge can melt it, I've no idea silver's melting point is. Thanks again for sharing your hobby with us!
As someone who works on these for a living.... I am so happy to see that Bundy sax get treated the way it deserves. A lot of that slag is going to be lead/tin from the soft solder and the brass itself is an alloy which is why it gave you so much trouble. I would suggest going older with left hand bell keys would give you a better melt. Love the channel
doubt you will see that on here however there are videos on youtube of that being done both in the west on production lines and in pakistan/india where working enviroments leave a bit to be desired
His furnace is too small for the high temperatures of Iron and Steel Melting (the latter takes a HUGE furnace to not melt the walls of the furnace...) Basically have to go with lower temperature metals (in terms of melting points) for smaller scale furnaces.
@@jasongrinnell1986 He did, it wasn't much though, and it didn't go well. It's true, cast iron is barely within the capabilities of his furnace... but Devil Forge themselves advise against it, and recommend very small amounts of it. Steel however is right out.
tbh it'd probably be cheaper just to buy the actual sea of thieves coin he used to cast this. you can get it for around $15 - $25 depending where you buy it. shipping alone could cost around that much.
That Sea of Thieves coin is awesome for sure! The other two are nice as well. Maybe trouble casting, but still looks good with the effort you put into sanding and buffing. 👍🖖
Those new molds that are poured vertically are so cool! And that mini brass bar is beautiful. I've seen so many bars on your channel but this one may be my favorite.
The busted sax made sour notes! That Sea of Thieves coin looked choice tho! I really like how the unfinished inlay gave it texture and made the polished surfaces pop! Very cool melt!
BIGGY that gold bar turned out fantastic and that coin turned out better then the Original one lol always pleasure to watch lmfao you said I will get better at this and I always like your to do list lol 👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦
I love this format with no narration, expected breaks with dogs between melt and polishing, and the ice. I've seen others try to duplicate you, but your clean workspace and house keep me coming back. In fact, if I didn't have an existing hobby taking up all my time, I'd get a furnace and start melting because I am around metals all the time. Copper is a great element to work with. Congratulations on a successful channel. I personally learn how things are built and disassembled. But the pouring and the polishing is my favorite. I also like the sounds when the film is in fast forward. Oh and also, do you do this obsessively, or is it something to keep yourself busy? Does it feel compolsory? By the way, "rubbers" almost exclusively means condoms in the good old USA.
I once got to play a trombone that was made out of silver and gold. To my disappointment I found out later that they’re just plated. Sounded very nice though. I have seen flutes made entirely out of precious metals such as silver and gold from 10kt up to 18kt. Platinum is usually reserved for custom orders seeing how it costs $70k for one. Then it about having an obscenely expensive instrument that’s difficult to use because of the weight.

Hi! I was interrupted with this upload when I was currently watching a different one of your videos! Thanks for the upload, mate!
doin great thanks for asking hby? though it is 3:00am here where i am in the US
@@Michomichaice can't gotta watch this first but for when you and i finish, goodnight 😴
😇💕💕😇
What kind of glizzy was that?
As a sax player this gives me great pain... and enjoyment :)
I can agree with you 🥺👍
Same
Meh, look at the condition it was in when he got it, it was a goner, and I played E flat alto. but the cost to restore it, would have been too prohibitive. Besides, it made a beautiful little faux gold bar.
Still better quality than my school instrument
I agree, I was a bari player through school, would've made me cry seeing a Bari get melted down, but also tears of joy 🥲
As a music teacher of almost 20 years, I have wanted to do this to a saxophone or two before when they were played poorly. But casting it into a quarter and eighth note was pretty cool.
The problem was never the sax when they were being played poorly... you should have melted down the students
@@hmmmtietmetmosterd flesh and bones aren’t as shiny
@@black1917 but the sound they make is just beautifull when melting
@@hmmmtietmetmosterd That's a different channel.
@@black1917 im going to need a link, buddy
Your “Burgers n Stuff” and containers of snacks always kill me 😂
Did you read his melting schedule?

Melty bits? You must be Dutch.

As a saxophone player, this hurts my heart, but it goes to a good cause.

Me too ,but it ☹️Probably wouldn’t work any way so
That saxophone was like old cars at the junkyard, some car people can't watch old cars get crushed. They are trashed and can be made into something new.
Gotta love the "this isn't gold" sarcasm.
Same as " I'm not lighting the forge with real dollars" comment.
Keep it up fella
and where does the smithy ???
There’s something satisfying about watching the stuff melt but them dogs just make it that little bit better.
this man truly does have a gentle approach with the saxephone
I'm a saxophonist, this makes me sad.
Also, would love to see you make a cast iron mold of a mold, then cast something else in it.
Tbf the sax did look like it had been battered
@Ignatius Q. Snerd, II, Esq. you sir, mister Esquire, have clearly never been in the room with a group of saxophonists who are running their mouthpeice warm-ups. It's as if somebody sat on 50 rubber chickens simultaniously, then stood up.
Same but be happy that the saxophone thrown as waste is in his shelf as a part of the treasure ❤️
Gotta do something with them when they break, and this is MUCH better than a landfill.
@@bsctsngrvy9089 ngl, that would be damn hilarious.
oh. I was expecting to see a Terminator-thumb-esque moment of the sax slowly sinking into a pool of molten metal
Something very calming about watching your dogos eating
That note casting looks like someone had a musical note and tossed it onto the ground. I like it.
This is what I want to do to a saxophone when my wife listens to Kenny G
Not sure if I'm more excited to see what gets melted or just to see the pups chilling living the best life
For Halloween this year you should make A jack-o’-lantern out of copper kind like what you do with a skull last year I think it’ll be really cool
YES!!!!
It's gonna be big and heavy
@@jj-ce8bb yeah but it is definitely worth it
@@jj-ce8bb if he sees it

That's what she said..... 🤣
Thank you, I'll see my way out now.

Finally, someone found a good use for a saxophone.
Why is it that feeding dogs cucumber slices so hilarious! I mean usually chewing noises bother me, but this puts a smile on my face every time! 🥝🐶
5:30 aah yes the forbidden soup
Yes. Absolutely, BigstackD. I'm glad you uploaded
I love this guy's new melt schedule
That little "gold" bar really made the whole melt for me!

The master of disassembly, BIGSTACKD!! Any man who treats his dogs like you…..Is a damn good man!!
Crazy socks, the mark of a secure & we'll grounded personality! 😆
But the doggies prove it! 😃
I played sax for years and man... I felt this one in my soul.
As a saxophone player, this makes me sad... And morbidly curious to see the melt prep, lol. Love your work and the doggos!
Hey, seeing online that plastic 3D printing folks are putting glass sheets on their platters to keep the plastic from sticking, kind of like your cardboard to keep your crucibles from sticking.
Always here for the melting, but I stay for the occasional spider ;)
Another sax-isfying melt 😉

A steel sax? Or were those shells bronze?
@@joshschneider9766 I think he means the shell cases, silly ...
You need to make a coin like that for each metal… those coins are so beautiful☺️
I've been wanting to see that saxophone melted down ever since you first showed it. Glad it's finally had its turn...
Just a shame it turned out like shit🤦🏻♂️!
Great stuff! I appreciate you leaking the upcoming melt schedule too 🤣
Great schedule ya!?
Coins came out PERFECT its amazing how good they look
…..the neighbors watching him destroy the saxophone through their binoculars: “Naw, sweetie, you were right…I owe you dinner…he is NOT a music lover…”
"All year need more shit to melt!!!" That's a perfectly good plan
It’s Friday!!! Time for a great melt. I loved the to do list. The gold bar and coin look awesome. The musical note has character. Keep up the fantastic work man.
Yay the saxophone, been waiting for ages to see it melted, that's a very nice finish on those pieces.
Never been this early, jeez. Insomnia for the win! 😅 Love your content.❤️
As a saxophone player, this both pained me and gave me much catharsis. Great melt as always!
The mini gold bar was perfect, love the content man
That bar and coin are fantastic. A great give away item. Small, easy to ship and beautiful.

The coin is my favorite. I like that you make stuff that reminds of what it used to be,like the note from the sax
Legitimate question: would you ever consider taking casting commissions? I'm a huge sea of thieves player and would love a few of those doubloons
