ScrapYard Salvage - Welder Melting - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure - BigStackD Copper
Welcome back to some more BigStackD weekly melting. Today i drop into the scrapyard to find something I have never melted before and I found a crushed lonely little Welder . I was presently surprised with what was in this welder and as always it was a great addition to the stack. Sit back enjoy todays vid and I'll see all you awesome people next Friday.

HOW TO 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.

ScrapYard Salvage - Welder Melting - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure - BigStackD Copper
And we’re back again for another scrapyard salvage. On the way Into town I thought I would stop and grab something that I haven’t done before from the scrap yard, so a welder is today’s melt. It was found in a puddle & a little bit crushed but that doesn’t matter at all to me. Now Sit back relax and I hope you enjoy today’s video. Check out one of my other videos that you may have missed throughout the weekend if you have some spare time as I have over 330 on my channel at the moment. And as always have a great weekend and see you all next Friday👋🏻😃

Hi
I mean 😈
Ok you
I love ur videos no matter what about they are can you pin?
I love the many nuances of your videos. The melts of course, snack time with the boys, trips to the scrapyard, "finding" food in unusual spots, the ice melt and smash, the boot kick and festive sock reveal with a proper toast after a successful melt, and the overall setup of the garage. Has a very "fallout" kind of vibe to it if that makes sense. One of my favorite channels on youtube for sure.
If you're talking the fallout games series, then yes I follow you 😉
EXACTLY this dude lives like wall-e and i love it
I thought he had a Fallout shirt on when I first saw it 🙂
Festive sock reveal 🤣🤣
You forgot mr whippy
The time lapse of the copper melting and pooling in the crucible was cool, would enjoy seeing more of that!
I'm guessing the camera overheating would make doing that a pain though xD Still, very cool to see!
I always love seeing that too. I'm fairly certain there's heat shields that can be gotten for videoing stuff like that
That wasn’t really a time lapse. It really does cool down that fast.
I agree it was cool
6:32 bigstackd: I'll "carefully" extract the copper from this fan. 6:37 (Sledgehammer come!) Me:So that's your "carefully".😄
Lol
He said carefully not gently. He was careful on how he hit the hammer to the fan with a sledge. =p so he didnt miss.
@@lyulf0 Yeah,i know that,this is just a joke,the other side of "carefully".
The "Holes" are forming when you pour the molten copper. The air is been driven in and under the molten metal that is already in the mold. Then it expands to make the holes you see. Unfortunately the air can't escape through the molten copper fast enough before the copper solidifies. If you could keep the copper hot enough so that the air could escape, or vibrate the air out while pouring the copper you would probably get a cleaner result.
Also if you watch the pour again you will see that the air forms directly under the area that you are pouring the copper. You moved the pour around alot and that is what caused the area with holes to be so large. Try keeping to one spot as a test in one of your future pours and you might see a smaller area with these holes.
@@cameronlichtenstein998 Molds just need to be much hotter. That will delay the freezing long enough for the air to escape
no one ask(jk:i actually really curios also)
oops, miss spelling
@Cameron Lichtenstein I was thinking the same thing but “dirty” molds could be a contributing factor as well as the air being forced into the molten copper as it’s poured
I've been watching this channel for a while now, and I was wondering why I like it... I mean it's literally the same thing every single time and there's no commentary... but that's it right? he's not trying to fill our head with breaking news, opinions, politics, or any of the rest of the bullshit we get from everywhere else! He does his thing, consistently (which means he probably enjoys it and the videos are a window on his hobby not like most channels) and yeah... it's quiet, relaxing, I get to vicariously feel like I'm a pro smelter when I really know nothing about it. Anyway cheers for all the videos mate, it's much appreciated here!
Watching something that is familiar is very relaxing. That’s why people tend to put on their favorite movies/music when they’re scared, stressed or panicking. That’s also why chillhop all sounds very similar.
You like it because it is putting something in order, or making it like new again.
Yeo, there are TWO channels i watch EVERY new video on. Big Stack, and In The Woodyard. Both very soecialized, VERY exeyllent channels!
Fantastic effort as always. Love the deconstruction phase, the details of taking the piece apart always interest me. Give a hug to the boys. Thanks again for what you do. It's a privilege to be able to experience these melts every week.
The drilling sounded kind of musical real quick. He should autotune one of the deconstruction moments and see how it comes out lol
I realize this is a metal melting channel... But now I want a burger! Keep up the great content @bigstackD!
“I’ll carefully extract the copper from this fan” “THWACK”
The flux they use in a welder to attach the thermals is probably the reason the holes was in your copper, still a nice piece..
It’s awesome how you even save the dust from everything you melt
True
The dust melts are amazing.
Ingot and Bullion are the biggest reason I watch your channel. Keep the pups coming! And, good luck reaching, or exceeding your Tonne goal.
Agreed
Hi D, I wasn't expecting an entire tool box to smash the ice. I have to admit that your videos are never boring. Strange deep holes in that copper. First time I seen that. Also I like watching you punch the ingots for some reason plus it always makes them look a lot cooler to me. Have a nice week and see you on the next one. 💙✌
My sleep schedule is ruined but oh boy is it worth it.

@@sadsealsealseal8554 yikes, Texas it’s 2:21 AM
It's 11:23
Also it's thursday
My drunk neighbor thinks the molds "could be hotter and cleaner". I agree. Great stuff here and sometimes very funny! Love the love you show to the "little people"! PS Killer burger!!!
Bet he wishes his wife was
The island boys references are AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Please don’t stop. Also I haven’t seen a sand casting video in a while. I would like to see one soon.
I love that you include your personal links for discounts and info, that's wonderful to me. Love to see people helping others get started in what they enjoy doing! Love the videos man, keep it up.
Here in the states we have celebrated the holiday of Thanksgiving, thank you for being a friend! Cheers Australia! 👋🏻🤠
9:11 “cause I’m an island boy”. 0.5 speed 😂
Anyone else come here for the ice smash? I was a bit disappointed with the copper ice bath when it was carefully removed... Then bam! The toolbox! Love it!
I’m still curious: how does the price you PAY for your scrap metal compare to the value of what you salvage? It would help those of us interested in melting decide if investing in the tools would pay off in a given amount of time. And accepting the labor involved, which you kindly show us.
I know this is an 11 month old comment, but I just watched this video today! I don’t think this is a very lucrative hobby. If you’re looking to sell copper it would be better to just salvage and strip it first. Melting it just costs you money in propane and time but won’t make the copper more valuable to a scrap buyer. This is a labor of love I believe. KZhead is our man’s money maker. He figured out how to get paid to do what he loves!
@@amilbyleckie7936 Unless you start a KZhead channel and do demos! 😂
Awesome video. Love the longer videos, especially when you tear things apart in more detail. Very nice addition to the stack. The bars look great. I have one question for you. The vent hose you use when sanding and polishing, how do you have it set up? What I mean is does it go through a filter or something so you can filter out the metals for collection to melt later? You never show what you do with it. Once you showed taking it down but not everything associated with it. Have a great day and thank you for sharing.
Nice work, you should cross section the sponge bar. But oh well, brilliant video thanks again for making it.
You're absolutely crushing it as a KZheadr, keep up the great work man, love the big scrap melt downs
I absolutely love your content. And because of it I’m going to attempt to make this into my hobby
I love these trash to treasure vieos. Just watching you take this stuff apart is awesome. It's crazy that motors and other stuff like this have so many small pieces and connections that make them work. 6:31 "Carefully extract" ... yeah, ok. We'll see about tha-- ... 6:37 Yep, there it is. XD
I always love to see your videos. The melt the dogs the funny places you put your food. It’s all A+ #1 great videos to watch.
The Welder is being put to Good use = Beautiful Bullion Bars ! Fantastic Melt as always - we loved it ! Your Hoard is Growing! Many Cheers from us in QLD !!!!
Great video as usual. My wife bought me a foundry for Christmas. I’m looking forward to doing some melting of my own.
I love this videos, specially when i cant sleep at 1 am and see bigStackd has uploaded a new video. Now i have ASMR of melted metal and soft sounds of cuts, to sleep~ thanks
Sleep well zorro
And the whack of a sledgehammer now and then
Such a great man pad. You got the dogs, metal casting, TV in garage, and cheese burger.
I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed your videos.... Not a bunch of "YAKKING" as in so many other posts. I've been going way back watching every one of your postings. Thank you so much from North Central Iowa, USA. I especially enjoy the Viking Gold alloys several I have re-watched to garner all the details.
PS....... what caught my attention causing my addiction are your socks.... It is nice to see I am not alone on the colourful sox! CHEERS from the USA !
Does the metal plates you remove give a date as to the motor's manufacture?... If so... what is the oldest motor you have recycle?
Hey BigStackd, you ever though about getting a vibrating surface to pour your ingots? May make the pour more even.
THATS WHAT THEY DO TO GET RID OF AIR ON -- PAVING SLABS WHILST STILL IN THE MOLDS " "
I suggested that a while ago, but it's much more complex than that. There are numerous causes for porosity. There are whole specialties that deal with this. Mostly in his case, it seems to be impurities in the particular metal he is melting. A simple vibrator may not do much. A lot of it has to do with unexpected hydrogen, nitrogen, or oxygen. Also, the amount of dirt and random elements seems to contribute. Water is the easiest to get rid of. search "casting-defects-and-how-to-prevent-them-in-your-products"
Boubles form when liquid hot metal hit some impurities in the graphite layer you use. Maybe there are some silicates that vaporize judging by the colour on the mould. You should show us how do you prepare the mould to be certain about this
You should go to sleep
He shows us how he prepares the molds. He lets them get hot to get rid of any moisture.
Happiness is a clean garage at the end of the day. Love your videos!
I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now. I'm a cabinetmaker by trade, (retired) and simply enjoy learning about the process. I especially like it when you drop little tidbits of information, like "this 10kg furnace can melt 4 to 5 kg of copper in under 30 minutes." ¡¡¡Thanks!!!
5:25 We've never seen you drop off the steel to your friend, if he exists at all. How can we be sure that you're not eating it all?
Plot Twist - he is the "friend" and has acquired an industrial arc furnace suitable for melting steel.
Something so satisfying about taking apart old machinery piece by piece. Thanks mate
My son broke my 1200 gram scale for weighing small bars material ratios, before I could melt anything. I weighed out 4 aluminum bronze bar mixtures and the next day he broke it..... Autism's fun..... Puppies!!!!!!!!! God I love watching your Videos Dion. Cheers.
Upping your game to Bourbon I see,a wise choice! And that BURGER! Heaven.
Thank you for the reminder that we are getting my brother-in-law a new toolbox for Christmas.
Man if big stack only knew how much metal is thrown out in the aviation industry, he’d make it to his goal in no time.
When you wrote on the screen ‘I’ll carefully remove the copper from this fan” I took a mouthful of coffee and when you hit it, I snorted coffee out my nose!! Fml lol!!!
I needed that toolbox ice smash today! 😂
Very enjoyable watching the breakdown of that machine. Detailed work is calming, but the hammer keeps it true bigstackD
The 1 Ton goal it's getting closer! I can't wait to see what do you do with all this stuff.
That huge motor in the first dumpster got me drooling.
The holes are usually formed due to gas porosity. It can be caused by the mold not being hot enough or turbulence when pouring the heated metal trapping air. The copper poured in cools too fast to let any gases or air from escaping before solidifying. When you go in for the second copper pour, you don't see this issue because the mold is uniformly hot enough to allow enough time for any gases to escape. Honestly, I think just heating up the mold a bit longer or uniformly might be the easiest way to solve it.
"I'll carefully extract the copper from this fan." Is he gonna? Yuuuuuup. Nice one, even accidentally discovered some lunch during the search so it all works out.
Omg I was thinking I’m an island boy when I seen the wires in the vice!! Good play. Well done!
Your vids bring me peace somehow. Keep the great job man
As alwayd another great melt video just like all of the others and ive watched yhem all at least twice love your content keep up the great work my friend
That was cool seeing the welder being taken apart! I had no idea how they were constructed. I also liked how that was almost half your video! Thx!
Those doggos look so happy, relaxed and well looked after 🙂
If the scrap bins are empty MELT THE SCRAP BINS!
6:31 The hammer gag always gets me! 🤣
What was once beat up and ugly has become a thing of beauty. Nice to see your dogs always the cute muckers hehe 😎
As darkness surrounds me and my eyes slowly droop, I am jolted awake by the realization that it is the earliest hour of Friday, and the melter has returned
Same lol but the video was too calming and I fell asleep! Had to re-watch this morning 😅 (which I don't mind at all!)
I love the look of metal in its melted liquid state and I love how it solidifies in a matter of seconds after being poured into the molds, BigstackD!! :D I think that's REALLY cool!! :D Great job as usual!! :D
The toolbox was unexpected, definitely laughed, LOL!
The most eco friendly channel on the KZheads...making recycling fun
Great magic trick with disappearing fan motor you carefully disassembled. 🤣🤣🤣
19:08 "Draw me like one of your French Bulldogs, Jack."
Those bubbles really surprised me. I would think that particular ingot is a keeper. You are, after all, more than 3/4 to your goal. Not to mention that awesome accomplishment of surpassing 1M followers. You're crushing the competition. Cheers, mate.
I love that you up-load videos every week at the same time
Ha, yes. She strips those cable guys very good. Cool video brother. See ya next Friday.
I have watched you for over a2 years now. Its nice to see how far this channel has grown and I like the aluminum coin with the mirror finish on the stamped part. I would like to see that again.
Thanks for sharing another great video. I’m sure I mention it before, I love me a great copper video.
A man who enjoys burgers and melting stuff. Awesome video good sir.
7:20 better then a copper insert ANY day! That's one beefy lookin' cheeseburg my friend. A true pub-special. I hope it tasted every bit as good as it looked like it did.
Regardless of the holes, I love that mold you used for the copper ingot. It made the cutest bar I've ever seen.
Happy Friday! Excited to see another awesome video.😃👍
I was looking forward to another great video from BigStackD my favorite KZhead channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁😁😁😄😄😄
"I'll carefully extract the copper from this fan." *WHAM* (copper goes flying) Bonus footage of delicious double cheeseburger included while locating missing copper.😁👍
Ok I really laughed when you threw a whole toolbox at the ice!
An inspiration. Thank you for your videos. I’m not a super environmental-save-the-earth kind of guy. But I do think this goes to show that recycling is a big help to individuals and the economy. Screw the politics. That metal is hard currency. Keep it up man!
Love your videos, they are the highlights of my friday 😃 i like the way you explain safety and what not In your videos. Also loving the frenchies 😁 keep up the good videos mate 😎👍
The Holes In The Copper Bar Makes It Look Like The Base Of A Scale Model Moon Landing Diorama!
I believe I enjoy seeing how things come apart as much as the melt.
My first thought when I discover a new video clip of bigstackD Casting every friday is: "Is there some beer in the fridge?" And now there is some Whiskey-tasting...
Really enjoy a copper and aluminum melt, thanks for this video, cheers
Nice melt and extra points for the Tin Tin t-shirt lol
Seeing metal Melt is one of those super satisfying things that I like to see
Fantastic bud the boys are looking awesome great video well done.👍🇬🇧🤘🥃🥃
Smashing the island boys at 9:10 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so perfect
Wow nice looking big Bars!! :D
That heart attack on a bun looks absolutely delicious! 😋😁👍
Now you are speaking the language of my people. Cheers 🍻
Woke up to my dog barking and got the notification about 5 minutes after.. she heard Ingot being uploaded. Cheers 🍻
It's so cool seeing the copper turn molten @ 11:30 ! Please show more of that. Also, make sure everyone knows the cardboard is to make sure it doesn't stick! Lol. Seriously, I love your content and have been subbed since the 100k days. Keep it up my friend, who's face I've never seen.
The island boy speed up was hilarious!
Perfect to watch before sleeping Hoping for a titanium melt next time
Watching Scarface while scrapping, wonderfull! Great video again!
I love all the random spots you hide food 😁
I would love to see an evolution of content where you start chemically extracting more exotic metals from all the boards you go through.
That’s the cleanest most organized scrapyard I’ve ever seen!
My friend I think that is the most holy copper bar you have ever made still very impressive two thumbs
bigstackD: *loads video that starts with utter silence* Me: *checks audio levels by cranking it to max* bigstackD: *bass intro kicks in* RIP speakers.
Very nice smash today. I didn’t see that coming. 😂🤣 You boys are so cute! 🐶🐶
I love how you find food in the most God-awful places. Cracks me up!
