Hey guys n gals how are you awesome people today? A little bit of aluminium and copper melting today as I add another 3 kg to the stack which is great. Today I melt down a heap of hard disk drive platters sent to me by a subscriber and I get myself a few awesome bars of which I shine up one perfectly. That one mirrored bar in this Video took me around 60 minutes from start to finish. It’s very time-consuming making these bars look perfect but quite rewarding once it’s all done. Also today I do a couple of devil forge coins out of copper cable, they didn’t come out too great but they are nice big and chunky of which I’m very happy to put on the shelf.
Now i hate to ask and it does sound a bit cringey but if you Feel like supporting the channel Simply donate some of your time just by allowing the ads to play through this will help out a lot and that’s how I make a bit extra revenue and the good thing is more revenue means more giveaways👊🏻😄. A better way to support the channel is play one of my playlists on your computer before you walk away from it and let it play through that really helps as well but don’t ever feel as though you need to watch the ads if you don’t want to simply skip them and move into the video it’s completely up to you and I understand if you don’t have the time to do so👌🏻and like I always say if you like the rings shown and used in this video be sure to check out the description where you can get 20% off the already discounted rings using my code and if you want to try your hand at melting yourself you can buy the burner on its own or the whole furnace set up and I can organize a 5% link for you off the total furnace price just email me on bigstackddddd@mail.com 😁👍🏻.

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??????.

  • How are all you awesome people doing this week? A Quick thank-you to all who participated in the poll on my community page.With over 28,000 votes Nordic gold seemed to be the clear winner of your favourite metals to see. So be sure to tune in next week for some Nordic gold goodness coming your way. Also as I have mentioned previously I am in the works with a designer and will be getting some merchandise happening very soon for any of you who would like to support my channel. Thank you all again I hope you enjoy this weeks video and have a fantastic week ahead , BSD😁

    • @Tano HDDs are more reliable. SSDs can't handle the reading and writing load nearly as long as an HDD can. Unless you're going to RAID them which will vastly improve the longevity of SSDs. But if you're building on a budget then a single HDD is the better choice for a PC. Now in a laptop, the loss in longevity is balanced out by the reduced power consumption, so that may be better for you. Still, preferably you want to get a laptop that allows for 2 or more hard drives so you can raid the SSDs. It cannot be understated the performance boost given by a proper RAID in place.

      @TheVoltage2@TheVoltage23 жыл бұрын
    • @Tano I don't quite think you know what you're talking about honestly. HDDs blow SSDs out of the water in terms of reliability. For every year an SSD can last, and HDD can last 2, sometimes 3 depending on the quality of the HDD. SSDs are faster and more energy efficient. That's about it though. As for RAID, it's something you can do with HDDs and SSDs. So even you with your HDD hating self should do it. It's more than worth it even if you go 0.

  • When you use your 3D prints, you should smooth over a thin layer of wood filler with your fingers. When it dries just lightly sand off the chunks. I've found that it helps remove layer lines, and might improve the quality a bit. I use this method for making D&D mini terrains, afterwards I spray it with primer and it looks pretty great.

  • It's been a while since I saw your films Big D. Tempted back by the subject matter, I'd also forgotten how calming it is watching metal being melted and poured/pawed (the last one's for Ingot). All my collected computer bits, the eye candy stuff, motherboards and the stainless CD stuff all got made into art, mounted on 4 big sheets of hardboard. I'd love to melt stuff but don't have the gear so I carve in stone outside the man-cave with my dog, Priscilla the turkey and her 2 small bantam garden crew audience. Our 3 lock-downs haven't been so bad for our bubble but we'd all be lost without our feather and fur companions, who have so much faith and trust in us, and ever such a pity when people break that trust. All the best from England.

    • Yes, the platters in hard drives are usually plated in platinum. Not sure if platnium reacts in such a way in those conditions. Its usually pretty inactive and has a very high melting point. Its likely mostly in the slag which is why I think the slag was very pasty and wouldnt pour.

  • Hey bud. When you push things through a table saw, you push them on the right side of the blade (fence side). If that brings your hands dangerously close to the blade, then use a push stick. You can still guide the lumber with your left hand on the left side of the blade, but don't push on that side. Also table saws aren't made for cutting off the ends of lumber (cross cutting) but rather for ripping with the grain. It's much safer to use a circular saw or chop saw to cross cut. Thanks for the content.
