Some ideas for your consideration: 1. take a big spoon and remove the dross/slag before pouring. Much cleaner ingot. 2. don't put the mold on the concrete like that, but on some dry bricks. You had some small vapor explosion that can shoot dangerous stuff around and crack that pavement. 3. Remove the ingots from the molds before cooling, less cracked molds. 4. use a metal bucket for obvious reason.
Natural gas will not work, there’s not enough air. You can drill the orifice out to match the btus but you’ll need to hook up a way to add a significant amount of air and be able to change the volume of air.
Mikey pipes! Run er around 30psi if your not induced with a blower, I would stick with lp, I know I've done some work for glass blowing people, and they prefer lp saying it will burn hotter
@@SmeltingwithMikeyPipes I use to work across the street at Woodmere car care when I was Peter's age. Seems like last week, Mike it's not fair least for me. I can still keep up with Peter or Daniel though, least I'm not that old
Yo brother I seen on tube the other day if u add copper to your skimmer on your pool you don't have to add chemicals. Or it's a minimum amount $$. Do a search and get back to me. Crazy if it works for u
@@SmeltingwithMikeyPipes tin. It allows it to be stronger to hold up the little pressure. Romex wiring for houses this pure copper once it's stripped of all jacketing. I see a lot of people who make these bars and then they sell them as pure copper for stackers. People don't know that
@@ehrenkrause9861mhhhhmmmmmm maybe in other countries. Here in the USA copper tubing is 99.9% pure. If anything there may be minuscule trace amounts of silver or phosphorus. But for all intents 99.9% is considered pure.
Liked and subscribed! Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for the sub!

Great ideas and tips. Thank you
M tubing is junk to begin with. Keep up the fun videos Mikey Pipes. Smash that like folks.
Thank you
Man your a great inspiration
It’s great way to turn copper #1 into copper #2
👌

The roach coach🤣🤣...I remember that wagon every morning at the autoshop
Haha
lol it isn’t about the money it is about the fun taking a solid turning it into a liquid an back into a solid brick ❤
AGA should have a orfice chart 4 the BTU's you need
Perfect. Ty
When are you gonna start doing right along again?
It’s like a kids dream to melt that stuff.
If the pay is competitive and a fridge like that signed me up
It sure is
So much for you saying you would send me a small peice of copper slag a few months ago.
I bet you used more then 6 dollars in propane.
I really don’t care. It was FUN!!
BTW Mike We LOVE that DRUID LOOK ON YOU
12 psi is what I've seen on[ big stacked d ] on you tube
I’m gonna lower it
Check again,it was 10:39
Mikey pipes get his papoose on 🤣🤣
Good day to you, sir!
You got that right!
$6.75 in copper, $6.75 in propane used... Its definitely fun but not lucrative
Definitely fun 🤩
10:10 lmao he looks like a gummibear

Mike I would double the pressure to 40psi. It's taking longer then it should at 20. Try it.
Really?
Is melting copper cost effective?
No
Orifice for propane is a smaller hole .Figure out what BTU you need for natural gas and drill it out
Not enough air, the burner tube and air shutter are way too small. You would have to add a blower
You can get a large coffee with $6.75 at Smitys on West Broadway 😅
Hahah iced right?
But they are gone. Replaced with Seasons Express
@@SmeltingwithMikeyPipes get the hell out here. Really. I didn't know
@@SmeltingwithMikeyPipes I'll take ice. And a Latina chica to go

find a ant hill and pour molten copper into the center of the ant hill then carefully dig it out
you will be amazed at what it looks like
Great idea

Poor josh 💩 lol

You might want yo be careful calling it pure copper. Many people think copper tubing is pure because of videos like this.
What else is in it?
