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??????.

VSD Metal Melt Down - Dumpster Diving - ASMR Metal Melting - BigStackD Casting
Hey everyone 👋🏻I hope u are all well and that u enjoy this weeks video. This one is a little longer as I just had so much footage and wanted to show it all! Also I would love to hear any of your feedback in the comments below👇 on what part of my videos you enjoy the most? Melting,scrapping,dog content or anything else you enjoy .Any feedback for future videos is greatly appreciated 🙌 Stay well and see you all next week!
Man i always wanted to get into forging. I gotta get myself a forge
POG MOMENT? Oh! QUICK TIPPPPP. You do NOT need graphite for a steel mold. You only need a handle for the mold and some ice water! I tested it out with my Uncle and Cousin. I'M ALSO GOING TO MY UNCLES AGAIN ON SATURDAY. *edit* I forgot the steps, too. 1st, pour the metal. 2nd, wait about 30 seconds for the bar to cool down a bit and tap the mold on the ground. That will determine if the bar is solid or still liquid. And 3rd, dip the mold in the ice water. The bar will very slightly shrink, making the bar pop out!
@Big Woofy dog Yeah!
I like the melting and the pouring
I t was very good
It's the whole package...not any one thing. The dismantling, the sorting, the melting, the pouring, the buffing, etc... Great stuff!
You forgot the dogs ! 😆
@@yannmauperin7110 I misread, thought op said "the snorting", I'm like "never seen him with snow, pretty sure 'snorting' is for the bubs.."😆😆. I found big stack looking for more people teaching metallurgy, but this is it's own thing. My whole household will sit and Zen to these, dogs n cat too, tho that's likely just the company, I like to think seeing his dogs puts stars in their eyes
All this plus the adorable ness of the pups wanting too play with what he makes, and their cute little happy faces
I agree. The whole thing is great. It's also really cool how you make sure and get it all like when you melt the slag and dust. It's also cool how you give leftovers to scrapper friends. Hell, I save every but, bolt, clip and screw from things I dismantle and either organize for my hardware drawers or give them to my pals. It's nice to see you doing that kind of stuff as well.
I love the disassemble, the separation, the puppies getting snacks, the work of art melting the ice, the whole process!!!! 🍻cheers!
My teenage son and I have been watching your KZhead vids for around a year now and like everything about them. We've built our own forge and have been melting and casting, partly using tips and techniques from you... so thanks! Since you were asking about our favorite parts I have to say I really appreciate the amount of time you spend editing and keeping things flowing. Those who don't actually do this on the side might not realize how much time is spent on a typical melt. Plus, getting the material, processing it to prepare for melting, etc. Lots of vids show WAY too much of it to extend the length. Yours are all good content plus we like the personal touches that allude to a dude in his garage, enjoying his hobby which is exactly what we are doing. As my son gets older he may not always want to hang with Dad so this is important time and you've helped to show us a mutual interest. Cheers!
👊🏻😁🍻🍻
As a son who did stuff like this with his dad I can tell you that your son will remember this forever
I love how you carefully dismantle mysterious components elegantly with a gentle blow from a hammer.
My boyfriend: "The dogs are nice, but I'm mostly here for the forbidden soup."

Forbidden soup? 🤔
@@pedrovargas2181 molten metal
@@vincentschumann937 how is it forbidden?
I like the fact there is NO TALKING, just all process.
Agreed. Can't stand ages of waffle waffle. I usually just forward that.
Same
This is just plain stealing... Anything in those dumpsters are getting recycled by the company that owns the bins...
@@helpmefixthis9117 Oh, don't be so jealous.
I like it but also don’t. I watch to learn and having just a bit more texted commentary might be a good addition. Explaining for us newbies.
I like the calmess of it. No words. Just smelting and kindness to animals.
WOOOOP WOOOOP SPIFFILY SPOKEN Exactly sometimes u just dont wanna hear voices just sound
Personally, my favorite part is watching you keep track of where all the metal goes, sweeping it up and sorting it. I love seeing zero wasted material. Plus the quiet chill atmosphere of your vids really helps me chill out.
It's the Attitude! "I'm not doing this to 'piss off 'anyone, I'm enjoying this !" And love the puppies.
What I like: 1.) Your goofy kid-like humor. My wife and I think its hilarious when you walk with small steps and film your feet lol 2.) Ice smashing is always a treat. Never can get old. 3.) We find it so funny when you have videos that have a story plot where you get in trouble by your wife and she gets you in trouble so you get bored and melt something. Really really comical! 4.) Love the video editing. Nothing ever gets drawn out and boring. 5.) I like your melting and casting too lol always appreciated your technical break downs of what is going on 6.) I dont see it much but I like it when you accidently find a metal in a break down that you weren't expecting and you put a funny *hungry face* emoji XD
Yeah! This right here! Perfect answer!
It's the seeing how much of what metal is in these everyday objects, the mixing of metals (making alloys: brass, Nordic gold etc), the prep, the melting, the pouring, the finishing to a mirror polish, and for some reason the value of it in all the different currencies. Also the weird things in between have a certain comedic edge to them - last week you taped the sleeve to your drink and I laughed; incredible
Jaa jaa Apne baap ko mat sikha
Can't go without the values, both monetary and comedic!!!
That's a cool observation. Seeing how much is in everyday bullshit lol. I dig it.
Just love how the calming effect of the melt just takes away the noises of life.
So true
I love to see how organized you are, all the efforts you make to gather all the leftovers and dust for future melts. I guess my favourite part is the pouring (and the doggos) 👌❤
I like not only how he shows but practicality teaches us everything he does and how to do it So not only do I have fun i learn
You're so right about that. I learned a lot from these videos and not only how to melt, also what metals are more commonly used in machines, tools or motors!
I have a few hobbies on the go with a busy life with kids and I just wanna start a melting operation now!! Dammit! Such good videos though.
absolute madlad at 5:28 not stripping the cables, he is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer will
This is THE QUINTESSENTIAL BIGSTACKD video...a huge dismantling, bunch of different stuff, different melts and flames, the ice block and the water boil, the dogs eat plenty of cucumber (lol), the molds, the cleanup, the organization of the pieces, showing the clean up collection, a nice big pile of finished stuff... I'm gonna send this one out to my friends to get them started and subsequently hooked, like I got hooked just maybe a couple months ago, tops lol.. Cheers from NYC!
Well buddy if you can share this or any other video of mine with a lot of people that’s gonna help me big time. And I really appreciate it Matey 👊🏻😁
@@bigstackD I already sent it directly to my 5 man group text, copied and pasted what I wrote here in the text 😆 probably gonna put it up on FB too once I'm done droppin this deuce lol
Ok so I'm new to your channel and I'd never would have thought that watching metals melting would be so relaxing.
I reckon it certainly helps when you cut out all the talking BS and you don’t play crap music in the background👍🏻
Cheers! 🍺
The entire process is what I like. Disassembly, melting, pouring, finishing. Beer. Doggies. The visual text and emojis. A man sharing his craft with the whole world. Thank you for what you do.
when you sit back and say "cheers" to the flag.
These videos are very relaxing for me. They’re quiet. You never say anything out loud. You never show your face, because it’s all about the melt. You are a man working a craft. That’s all people need to know. That makes you pure. Also I love your dogs. It means that you have passion as well as craftiness. And your taste in music is wonderful as you’re driving to the scrap yard. If I ever got a chance to go to Australia, I would want to go to the Perth area. I’ve heard the Indian Ocean is nice.
I live the fact that you even show your mistakes.
Some may think “live the fact” was a spelling error but when you think about it... I Love to Live the Fact too and it is very humbling to admit one’s mistakes & own up to it. Amazing unintentional/ purposeful comment! Peace my friends.
@@chaoticature anyone else would cut the that and remelt then take it out like it was first attempt
You disassembling the cabinet is oddly satisfying.
i love how you are careful and take all safety precautions, preheating everything. You are a good example for other salvagers. I don't like to see how others seems disorganized and move sloppily around with dangerous hot metals.
My 7 yo son and I watch a video of yours every night. He loves your dogs especially the little ice ones! He enjoys seeing the whole process and we are both cheering for you to hit your 1 tonne mark! Happy smelting from the USA
We show up for the melts, but we're really just here for Ingot and Bullion.
2:06 am here un Mexico and I’m here watching the new video, I never miss one 👍

@@sandraalivender3680 not cool man, not cool
Hi
@@sandraalivender3680go sit on a cactus and please ... stfu next time :) with love
3am here ^^ (quebec)
I actually really like that there is no intro or other BS and its all just content that is watchable, I never find myself skipping through your videos
Yeah the dogs, the cheers to beers, no unnecessary commentary, these are things that make the video even greater to watch. The juice is watching the process of melting....It's comforting, like watching something being cleaned to a polish. It just scratches that itch, that can almost be described as an OCD...But more like watching a fire while enjoying some cocoa, and less of compulsive feeling??? Idk, how to describe it, but watching this is fascinating.
🤣🤣 I completely forgot you had that tiny furnace!! It's so CUTE!!🤣😉🤙🍻
It's a cute l'il devil....forge, ain't it? 😃
Not only did they throw out a VSD, they left an ice cold beer in there too!
It was broken anyways, the beer....
Its the feeling like I've learned something without you ever speaking a word. It inspires me to become a recycler/reclaimer.
Yes, I like the melting, and the pouring, and the dogs, and the ice, and just typically a few other things too. I actually enjoy no narrations. Great natural sounds.
I like people who make things. My grandfather was a carpenter. He's been gone 40 years. But the things he built still go on and continue to serve a purpose. Destroying is easy. Creating is the hard part.
Yes, you are very true.
Technically he is destroying though
Adeeb Momen - I recon he Is repurposing alot of things into clean ingots so there free of impurity’s and ready for future casting projects👍🏻
I have a thought on a possibility for a future pour, Pick one of your Tattoos, and create a 3D print of it, then bring it to Life, by Casting it in your favorite metal. Does anyone like this idea???
Yes yes I do like the idea
Why not go one step further? Make a cast of himself and build a life size version tattoos included
future pour*
I want to see him try the life sized skull again. Try to get it all quick enough so there's no solid layers having poured liquid on. One perfect peice.
I wanna see him melt glass
It is not your melting process but your affection for your dogs.it is the thing I love most.it tells you are a nice human being.
Hard to pick a favorite part. I like all of it: Melting down trash to make beautiful shiny bars, adorable puppies, satisfying metal pouring.
“What do you like most about the video” yes, all of it
The flames ♥️🔥
Favs: 1. pouring 2. scavenging, disassembly 3. finishing/polishing ingots 4. ice 5. melting
Dogs and cucumbers
I pretty much like everything about this channel from the underlying humor to the final product.
I work for an electric motor rewind shop. I have tons of scrap motors that ate now a new mission. I have built my own furnace and am practicing your trade. The I like most is that you take time to video this wonderful trade and teach people how to turn crap into treasure. Thank you man. Cheers!
BigstackD: exists Metal: chuckles im in danger
Have you ever done a bottle cap meltdown? If not, I think you should.
Killer idea!!
Aren't bottle caps made of steel?
@@barbarakennedy2667 The ones he has are. Some are made of aluminum, but not the ones from the beer he drinks.
I think it's kinda cool how you show how to take care of all the tools and things that you use for this type of stuff. Also, definitely nice not having any talking, only focused on the casting process and the dogs. None of the usual "KZhead personality" stuff. Honestly refreshing.
Honestly it is all of it, and the fact that you do not screw around with a bunch of idle chit chat, you find stuff to tear apart and break down. Melt it all and show me what is left over, I am absolutely entertained and you do not have to say a word.
There is a balance to what you do that makes your videos so enjoyable. Of course, there's the dogs- who doesn't like dogs- but the ice thing is always good, as well as the beer, the flag and the ever increasing trophy cabinet and your weight/value info. Just keep doing what you do. I reckon most subscribers here would agree.
I concur with you on that
Right? This channels a hidden gem, it ain't even a rough one, natural born with perfect facets.
I agree, I like all of it, from beginning to end. 👍
1 down thumb? How does this get a dislike? To that person get a life!!!! Keep up the good work bigstacked.
My fav part is watching it go from such sophisticated materials made by man back to its original form. It’s like the exact opposite of stepping on a lego.
Anything with dogs will always be my favorite. We have lost 3 of our 4 babies in the last year and my heart breaks everyday. I love seeing other people love dogs. But literally the whole thing is awesome. I just truly enjoy watching the start to finish product. I honestly thought why is YT recommending this to me and I watched one video and became addicted.
at the end when you take a drink and say cheers my fav part
Last time I was this early, bigstackD was still starting the forge with fake money.
bigstackDollars
Same!
Wish he still did. That was epic. I used a controlled product, toilet paper, for starting my melting furnace in 2020. 🧻🔥
I always thought that was such a cool touch. I remember the first time I saw it and I was 'wtf? Is this guy seriously flaunting how rich he is by using money to start off his forge??? Then 10 seconds later realized it had to be play money. Confirmed shortly after. You have to be a serious idiot to think BigD was burning money all the time, but I guess there were enough serious idiots to make The Man drop the gimmick. Self-righteous idiots piss me off to no end.
@@cptrikester2671 if it was early 2020 it be worth more than the metal itself
16:45 bigstackD: "so I'll take my time and *carefully* open this." Also bigstackD: *slams a hummer to open it*
I like how casual you work, yet everything stays organized. Ingot & Bullion give you bonus points.
Hello from South Wales. The dogs of course but mainly it's the BigstackD 'stack's march toward that one tonne finish line, and the work you have to do to reach it, You'r video's are also very entertaining in the way they're put together.
"The melting, the pouring, the ice, or the dogs?" All of those things honestly. It all combines to be my wind down at the end of the week. Love the occasional weird colored flames like this one produced.
My favorites: 1. When I watch the metal go from solid to liquid, Really sattisfying. 2. When you drop the tiny rocks on the ice, Before the big boss attack. smashes the ice. 3 When you socialice with your dogs. So cute
The fact that you take the time out of your work to play with your dogs and show them love it warms my heart every time🥰
Damn whoever made that thing really loved their screws hahah
I'm still waiting for the day you disarm some electric motor weighing 100 kilos or more ... it would be epic
I love that you can go to a dumpster and breakdown something that someone threw away into all those glorious ingots. Makes me want to start up smelting as a hobby!
I like just about everything in your videos, the lack of background music is a _huge_ bonus. The touches of humour always make me smile too.
i atleast like to watch this because its a friday-tradition now, late brekkie and some melted metal. as to Why ? idk, but iadk why i keep wathcing primitive technology make a new pot or build a new house out of straw, or why i enjoy watching handtool rescue bonk his head at the sandingstation. possibly because its quiet in a world that´s screaming at us every chance it gets, possibly because its nice to see a craft being perfected as you watch. while you learn, i also learn but with much less sweat and tears. also, doggos are nice.
The headbonk makes me giggle every time. Like I know it's coming but it still gets me.
I’ve started nodding my head in time to the bonk
The melting, the pouring, the absence of voiceover and the the lack of music. :-)
Soothing as hell
Every part of the video is enjoyable to watch. i don't know how you do it but you never talk and never show your face but you still manage to keep our attention with breakdowns, tips, and tricks. on what you're doing. keep up the good work. i always look forward to your Friday videos
The dogs are so cool, but I love watching the metals melt down and get poured into forms. AWESOME
i love the OCD and the calmness of how you work and the calmness of your relationship with your dogs. and that your an aussie and are proud of it, and act like it😂
Great melt, can’t believe there was that much in that cabinet. See you next Friday!!
What do I like most about the Video? It’s the process of turning “Trash” to Treasure. I am addicted to seeing Metal Ingots in general as well. When you play Video Games, and take advantage of Exploits, and turn one Metal Ingot into 500,000+ Ingots. It’s just so appealing creating “Value from nothing”…both IRL and in Video Games.
I like everything you mentioned and more, I like your cool, quirky socks, the fact that you don't waste anything, the trips to the salvage yard, the ice cool downs, how pretty your area is and that you seem to know how to take apart everything and anything but my absolute favorites are the boys, Ingot and Bullion.
Imagine how much space on world he save with melting all these things? Great job!
BigstackD you are fricken awesome
To answer your question it’s the whole package. You’ve seen the “satisfying” videos where someone is thinly slicing stuff like styrofoam etc...Well this is the awesome version of that. The dogs are an added bonus!! Speaking for myself in a high stress position at work, this calms my brain and is sooo satisfying ✌🏼
I really enjoy watching you work on something out of the ordinary like this.
For a minute I thought that I was watching eWaste Ben and he had laryngitis!
HEY. every electrical switch and circuit breaker is made out of SILVER... find the switch then the contacts, thats where the pure silver is..
Don't giv me hope buddy 😂😂
I can’t believe that smelting could be so soothing to watch. I think it’s so cool. I love your dogs as well they are so cute I’m a big fan anyway !
I think what I like most about your videos is how relaxing & authentic they are. Lots of ASMR. And you always cheers to us! So cheers to you my friend! 🍻
Omg, those flame colors. You should copyright it as BigstackD RGB Flame.
Lol yeah BigstackD RGB Flame
Hi from across the ditch matey, you getting closer to that 1000kg goal and I will be watching when you do.
For me I enjoy watching you hunt for scrap and break down pieces like you did in this video. The sorting and melting of the individual types of metal is satisfying and I love seeing your collection grow. The ice breaking thing is hilarious to me, I enjoy it very much🤣 Thanks for all the great videos and I will watch until you're done.
I know this is quite late, about a year after the fact, but I've been watching back through your stuff, at work or at home during my free time. I'd say my favorite parts are you actually looking and source the scrap. Then 2nd is the break downs to make the component pieces. I like seeing where I can find these metals. And what items to look for that have gems hidden inside, like tons of copper wire in a electrical box. Most people just see trash, you see the parts, and the value. Also recycling in any manner is always cool. Keep it up man, love the content.
A big stack of face reveal right there!
Me: It's Friday, bigstackD has a new vid! Boyfriend: Wanton destruction of metallic objects? Me: Repurposing!!! 1. I'm amazed how your boys love veggies. 2. Chemical fire: beautiful and deadly.
I love the videos because they are hypnotize me: as a person with Aspergers, I tend to stick to same procedures everyday. And this is what I experience here as well. Same procedure in every video. This makes me feel comfortable. Besides from that I really like the fact that you are doing the opposite of production - recycling, dismantling and sorting. These processes make me feel good. I love that you make it dirty sometimes (like when dust is flying all over the place) but then clean it up afterwards and sit down to relax. All these manly procedures make me feel great and relaxed. I miss some details about the smelting and I would like one day to see a full process video, unedited. Thank you from Ukraine!
Love it...A Real MAN has that beer, then immediately grabs Power Tool!!!
Full head to toe shots of the man himself in this one! A few more years and we may see his face. 😂 Actually I think not showing his face and not doing voiceover go well together. A person undefined (or less defined) appeals to more people as there are less assumptions (prejudice) that can be made.
Could you show a silver melt for us ?
My favorite part is the melting, and separating the slag from the *pure* metal beneath... Really satisfying.
I am the same as most people I think when I say it is the overall combination that is unique. And I know how much editing goes into this. You must be very patient. We are all grateful for the amazing quality you provide for us
At 17:00 there was a box labeled "sanding shit". That's australian if I ever saw anything.
There are at least 4 “sanding shit” boxes.
Honest question: who dislikes these? I'm not even disappointed in whoever you are I'm just legit curious as to why.
I think out there is some sort of viewer that just dislikes every video that see or find.
@@Danbatio I have the same theory too bc I've been seeing that amount of dislikes in many niche videos (such as detailing vids) it's usually in the forties. A very strange phenomenon.
I like watching you take apart the machines, melting, and polishing. The dogs are pretty awesome too.
Everything combined is my favorite. But if I gotta pick, I really enjoy you dismantling things, it's very peaceful and pleasant

I like the organization. Bins for everything. It all goes back in a box at the end of the day.
I like that the video is relaxing to watch. No talking, still funny, almost meditative.
16:46 “I’ll carefully open this” Smash it with the hammer

My wife and I have a habit now of putting your channel on and going to sleep to it. It plays for hours. Relaxing like a Bob Ross painting show.
For me: 1- de-construction of object 2- melting / pouring / quenching 3- beer (cheers from Canada eh!!!) 4- repeat every week!!!!! on my weekend i watch every time
