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??????.

Ballast Bin Bars - Dumpster Diving - Trash To Treasure - ASMR Metal Melting - BigStackD Copper
How are all you sensational Subs on another icy cold Friday,? Well it’s cold here but probably summer where you are. Today I drop into the scrap bin I have access to and found an awesome Piece. Another additional 5+ kgs to go onto the shelf and an awesome heap of aluminium bars and a nice copper bar. Push it back relax and enjoy today’s video. Don’t forget to check out last week‘s video for a chance to win some BigStackD coins as there’s only one week left to enter👋🏻😁. And see you all next Friday.
I'm glad you've got some cold weather, I'm in America and it's absolutely sweltering over here
Without u sir Friday cant go ❤️ : melting ice n metals : and the cute gang are ❤️
Thank you, have a good week
Hey what type of copper wire stripper do you have, ive been looking for one but cant decide which one to get?
The air hammer is endearingly called a "Fart Gun" here! 😁🤘
Important tip: always use the infrared to pick out the coldest beer.
Chad move
@@Mx-el9wc Totally!😎🤙
Fuk yea
Edit: Please re classify as Protip.
Protip: add salt water to a cooler full of ice. Doing so will bring room temp beer to temps between 31 to 35°f within 5 minutes.
My youngest son always asks “I wonder what socks he has on today” whatever they are son they will be awesome!
I have a few the same as his, like the egg socks and the pink Homer Simpson socks. My kids get a kick out of that lol.
The socks, the t-shirt and the Clown mask at a glance 🤡🤣
Ngl, if there was a channel dedicated to Ingot and Bullion doing cute things, I would watch the heck outta it.
So would I
I wouldn’t in all honesty
Same here Kevin.
@@Stellar-Cowboy you WOULDN'T? ouch.... how can you not love the pooches.
As a fellow Kevin, I support this comment LOL
There's something so satisfying with seeing copper melt, or is it just me.
I love the green flames that come out of any melt with large amounts of copper, I love that bright shiny color, I love the rainbowy oxidation when he plays with the blowtorch, I love me some copper melts.
It’s not just you my friend
Im affraid it's just you. The others of us just endure it to get to the endcard.
@@daisiesofdoom u r just wrong.
It's the ASMR effect!!
BigStackD: "We're gonna break this down carefully" Me, knowing full well that's bullshit: "Ooh, how are we gonna do that"
BigStackD:"okay we are going to carefully break this down"*immediately pulls out hammer*
Well he did put down a blanky at least 😄
Hammer time
Yeah, if he wasn't careful he could have put some cracks in his driveway
@@nihtgengalastnamegoeshere7526 Nah, he was being careful to hit the metal, not his leg...
I like that Bullion got a scratch and a pat even though he created a mess. You're a good Doggo Daddy.
You can tell those boys get plenty of affection.
My basset hound loves tissues and paper towels like Bullion. Don’t know what it is about paper, but she’s a pill when it comes to it.
Petition for bigstackD to put a slide whistle sound effect in whenever he opens the valve on the forge
Yes.
Omg yes.
Thats a yes from me!
Yes
its a nice idea. though if by the titles they're going for ASMR sounds, than probably only wants natural sounds from the casting process. (9:30 When mr whippy goes past)
"Keep in mind: Yesterday: melted crap, today: melt some more crap: tomorrow, melt more crap, week after: find other crap to melt, When ever: Keep melting crap. Seriously though I love your videos😂😂😂😂 Also pls no face reveal I love your channel the way it is.
True it would be so weird to start seeing videos with his c Face or even voice imo
@@blindolakase NEVER DO THE VOICE. AT NO COSTS.
I got scared he showed his face in a mirror at 2:47, but it was just the TV.
Hey, can we all just appreciate that Bullion actually chewed his food this time?
Reasons I love this channel. 1: I find it satisfying. 2: Its always fun for me to find what could be only a drive away. 3:That damn adorable dog.
You got some gorgeous bars this week! That ballast was an excellent melt. Just for the record, I love watching the metal crystallize/solidify or whatever. It's super cool and satisfying! You should include more footage of that 😊 Love your boys, love your melts, love your channel ❤ Hope you're having a great July
When a liquid drops in temp and solidifies it's simply called freezing. Even at 1000 deg!
@@frankwelch3594 that's great! Even if they are "frozen" I still wouldn't want to touch those bars 😉😂😂 Thanks for letting me know, I wasn't sure what it was called 😂 but watching the bars freeze is one of my favorite parts for sure.
I LOVE the new camera angle for the ice!
I honestly don't know how those shelves stay up. One of the greatest mysteries 🤔
That’s has to be one of the most perfect copper pours I’ve ever seen in my life. Not many wrinkles on top, perfect amount to the mold, not a lot of bubbles on the bottom.... just beautiful!
I really do enjoy watching things like this. It's more relaxing than people realise and I have always had interest in blacksmithing and forging, but not had the money to do anything like it or the equipment to start it. So the next best thing is to watch someone else do it! XD
Its 630 at night, dark and cold. When I heard the Mr Whippy music I actually paused the video and started to look out the window.
Using the heat gun to measure the temperature of your beer! Pure genius!
I know that you already have so much "on hand" that you could melt..., but I sooo love when you dumpster dive for items to melt!!
yeah, friday is officially here
My thoughts exactly
This confirms the weekend has now started. Cheers and stay warm! 👌😎
8:40 Man, that is one busy schedule. Oh well, what are you gonna do? Shit gotta get melted.
Telling the icecream truck to leave because you're trying to melt; Hah! Fantastic. I do so thoroughly enjoy the humor you include and how generally optimistic and happy-go-life you make your videos. And it's a point to look forward to as well; after another week's work, just get home on a Friday afternoon, settle down, and first on the feed: BickstackD's new video. Then you know the day is saved. Good melt, good beer, good socks, good boys. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who enjoys lifes gifts. Keep it up BickstackD!
I loved the copper bar creating a waterfall and melting all the way to the floor. Very satisfying.
11:44 I'd love to see this with a macro lens high-speed camera to see the structures forming.
@TheSlowMoGuys, Gav and Dan, where are you when we need you?
@@LostDryerSocks @smartereveryday
metal thingy: you are gonna disassemble me carefully, right? BigStackD: *pulls out sledgehammer* metal thingy: carefully, right?
Full utilization of your tools always makes for a good melt. Nice outcome.
The only thing better than enjoying this on a Friday at work is enjoying it on a Friday, at home, while being on vacation from work!!! Love these vids man! I look forward to Friday's so I can get in some footage of Ingot and Bullion. And a sweet melt too!!!
If this was early 2020 we would have cried at the sight of all that shredded toilet paper. I’m glad those dark days are behind us…
too soon!
That notification I get every Friday puts a big smile on my face and let's me know everything is going to be alright!
Hello boys! 🧡🐾🖤🐾 Another great T2T video. What perfect additions. There's just nothing like the warm glow of copper. 🥰
When you were poring that aluminum I kept waiting for the terminator arm to come out. So cool how liquid metal looks.
feels good being on time for this vid. have a great day and happy 4th to my american friends and stay warm Bigstack!!!!!
When the notification from bigstackD casting comes we know it is going to be a nice weekend
You've changed the way I look at metal for ever , every time I see a can im like "ooh aluminum I could melt dat" or when I see copper pipe too
seeing such a large amount of liquid aluminum reminded me why I fell in love with this hobby. Pours so beautifully! Seeing it in in a liquid state is mesmerizing and makes it hard to believe it was once a dirty dusty piece of trash. Another amazing video brother! Id love to see you do a cast of the doggos paws if that's even possible without harming them? would be a cool piece to add to the shelves maybe
I had to laugh when Bullion brought the evidence of his nasty deed with him.
Looking at how that toilet roll got destroyed... Maybe my cat wasn't lying when he said he knew nothing about when that happened...
Loved the video !!! My dog used to do that too, toilet roll, kitchen roll, tea towels, socks, you name it he would swipe them and destroy them in his bed. The little bugger !!!
The melt is satisfying, but the pups bring the real joy.
It’s 4am where I’m at and I woke up just to watch this video 😂
Same, it's basically become a Friday morning ritual for me haha.
I can’t be the only one who wishes they could eat aluminum slag right? It looks so fluffy and touchable
you're just hungry
I prefer the crunchiness of tungsten.
One mans trash is another mans treasure..................literally this channel.
The ice melts were really artistic this week. First comes showing it off, then a nice 2 cam copper bar, and even the slo-mo break. Even the aluminium bars gave a nice show with the ice. It was cool
"Get out of here, Mr Whippy - I'm trying to melt." Whippy wants a cameo in a #bigstackD video 😁
That first one looks like a heavy bar of soap. And being copper its antimicrobial soooo not only does it look good, which it does, its also functional. SCIENCE! Unlawful Entry? So many Ray liotta movies. Thx bruv, product vid & bars were dope. Slaintè
I think the movie playing on the TV is called Identity
Always calming watching your videos with my 2 year old. We watch them every week. Thanks from Canada :) :)
Such a productive channel, recycling, refining,and entertainment!!
Morning (1:33am) BigD, good to see the boys and the double screen images, an interesting change and much better to see the hot block melt into the ice. I have no idea why I like watching it, just like seeing the molten stuff poured into the moulds. You are also the 1st scrap metal melter I ever watched and the others have nothing in comparison, you are the dogs bollox of the melt. At 5:55, liked the white sleeve control tube slide, neat idea, also really liked your hammer drill set-up, to remove cement render off my clients houses I use a 5kg Bosch hammer drill and it's like a hot knife through butter taking the render off to expose the background and seeing as your SCA gizmo was held in one hand it would mean less arm muscle ache. I thought my garden was small but yours is like a postage stamp, and is that AstroTurf I see before me? What about taking over a wall and putting your metal collection out there, I'm sure the Mrs won't mind and nobody would steal it as you have 2 guard dogs. I visit many clients homes looking at jobs and at one place it was the 1st time I'd ever seen AstroTurf instead of grass, the client said it was easier to clean up her 3 Chihuahua's doo doo's. For an even bigger space you could dig down and make an underground home, it would be cool on many levels and the dogs would more space to run around in and you might even find Opal. You can't detect the stuff, it's compressed water and you could be a cigarette papers thickness away from a parcel of Opal and not know it. Here in England the Crown usually owns everything below the surface of your land, you only own the top metre I think.
Gday Pete👋🏻, yes I think I’ll be using the hammer drill a lot more as it does seem a hell of a lot easier and quicker. I’ve had that sitting in my cupboard for years and never really worried about using it as it used to be quite therapeutic ripping apart transformers and stators with manual tools and a bit of elbow grease. Yes it’s all fake plastic grass I have mate, the reason I replaced my existing grass was because of where my house is situated I get full sun from sun up to sundown as the house is facing north so there is no shade to be had for the morning or afternoon for my front or back grass and it was costing an absolute fortune in water just to keep it a little bit green so I dug it up and gave it to my friend who still has it to this day and I put in plastic grass in front and back and that has saved me thousands of dollars and probably hundreds of thousands of litres of water over the last 12 years 👌🏻. And yes it’s a lot easier to clean up after the dog and if you park your car on it and it leaks oil you can just use some degreaser and wash it in. When I built the house I really wanted to put in a basement as they’re practically non-existent in Australia but my wife talk me out of it and I don’t know why I let it go so easily. And I love having tiny gardens as that means it’s basically zero maintenance and it gives me more time with my kids and dogs and furnaces 👍🏻
@@bigstackD, Fair shout Big D I fully understand completely, I only do lawn maintenance and vehicle care at my place and used some plastic lime tub lids to make eyelashes for my lady & our elder daughters cars. You should do what you wanted, a basement area for yourself and the mutt's. You can tell your lady that it'll definitely add value to the home especially if you lime plastered the walls and done some pargetting (designs in mortar) and I'll help you with the rendering work if you want, you'll only have to pay my airfare over and I guess because of covid I'd have to quarantine as I'm from the UK and we have the exciting and nasty Indian variant of covid-19. My end of our garden has my scaffolding, hessian sacking, firewood, stone carving area and tubs of lime putty mortar aging nicely for clients jobs. I even have 2 tubs left with lime putty from 2001. The Romans kept their lime 4 years to mature before they used it, our chalk lime is different but has the same chemistry and action but the difference is that they have Tuff, a volcanic rock which is lightweight, strong and the reason they were able to build the Pantheon, the oldest roofed structure in the world. The other end is my wife and daughters with our vegetable garden and 3 bay, slate lined compost bays with I turn over every 4 to 6 months. The turkeys and ducks live in the rest of the space, any doo doo's are collected and put in the compost along with the grass clippings and from one end to the other is our septic tank system, all the solid waste is collected every year by a honey-wagon. During this pandemic, my family, our garden and animals have been a great respite from the madness in the world plus, apart from 2 weeks confinement at home when I had covid I haven't stopped working.
Have you ever thought about plating an ingot? Like with gold or rhodium perhaps. Awesome videos and keep up the good work!
Has plenty of stuff already to melt, yet goes out dumpster diving for more. That's why BigstackD is the best on KZhead!
I don’t know why, but I love these videos. At night I find them so satisfying. I’m an Army veteran and had to retire early. Thanks for the great content.
Ty for your service
@@williamcox632 thanks mate.
Without u sir Friday cant go ❤️ : melting ice n metals : and the cute gang are ❤️
Cheers everyone! 🍻 Happy Friday!!
Cheers to you too!
Aye! 🍻
I was worried about Ingot when he did not get fed at the gate. I was happy to see him make an appearance later in the video.
We have 8 cats & 1 dog. All rescue animals. I have a cat that lays like that little guy on the right at 5:27... We named him Cozmo or Coz for short. Ate breakfast this a.m. while watching BigStack smash and melt chit. At least Bullion tore all that paper up in his bed, instead of all over the house ... ;) Day is starting off great !
bullion really loves destroying tp i hope you still have a big stack left over from lockdown
When you’re tired of struggling on the math work so you just look up the answer 0:57
That face on the pup, wouldn't matter what he chews up, still a good boy😇
Beautiful as always, wish I knew of someplace close by I could fins scrap metals to salvage and reuse. And younger pup is same as my boy when it comes to fanny floss.... finds extreme joy in shredding it😃
just wasted 16 minutes for a asmr about metals worth it
If it was worth it, then it wasn't wasted.
@@zeroburn315 makes sense
always fun to wake up each Friday morning and see what your going to come up with and seeing the 2 little ones again cant wait till next week.
Love the side ice shot, which added to my favourite freezing copper - muchos gracias amigo.
Oh... And that copper bar is super chunky... Sooooo nice! 💛
The mask gets me every time! I freaking love this channel. Keeps me grounded and not depressed. Thank you for the great content brother.
I always love the partially filled out skulls the best!! That copper pour was perfect.
Something for everyone - 2 shiny bricks and 2 matte ones. Oh and 2 pugs, never forget the heart of this channel .) Another cool video i think the cinematography has improved a bit (with the ice being transparent it looks much nicer).
I'm ashamed that I was too busy today to watch your video until 10:30pm EST! It was worth the wait, and as always it helped me to feel fulfilled! Thank you, stay well, & stau thirsty, my friend!!
I loved the dogs and the work of recycling is something that I appreciate very much, I send you greetings from Chile.
Nice haul. Love seeing the care you take when dissembling items to melt lol. Excellent video. Cheers 🍻
Sweet bars from the bin! Ballast bars are just fine by me! :D Boys are happy, and looking very healthy!
That noise of the dog eating the cucumber is the best!
Good result - finally got my homebuilt forge fired up and tested a few successful melts. Thanks for the inspiration .. Cheers
love your videos... The best part of them is when you kick off your shoes, hold up your beer and show off your socks. Oh yeah also when you melt crap and make bars and coins.
My inner goblin when I see treasure horde: “Must haves all the shiny ✨” For real though great content very relaxing to watch.
Really enjoying the 2 perspective editing. Well done. Looking forward to your next. Thank you for all.
Very cool watching the ice melt from a different angle, nice change ....
Back to a channel I haven't watched in some time, a lot has changed for me but these vids let me reminisce
awesome melts man great pours and no sink age so cool to see the boys and naughty bullion with that toilet roll some really nice bars and them blocks of ice so satisfying to see it melt :)
Very sweet mate I love it when you leave the bars natural look forward to Friday as the best day of the week two thumbs thank you
That Great North Hotel key tag is the best thing ever. ❤❤❤❤❤
"Diane; 6:18am, Room 315 Great Northern Hotel up here in Twin Peaks..." Love the Keychain!
really look forward to fridays.its bigstacked melt down therapy.helps me a lot chars .i dont melt myself just here for the great melt down.its awesome
Love the dogs! Glad to see you care enough to keep them at a safe distance.
Once I saw the word 'carefully', I knew full well that the sledgehammer'd be coming out.
I really like watching remelts or melts with the scraps, dust, etc etc. :)
I hope to see a full size wizard staff cast some day on here, love the videos!
Hole in crucible made me think of something that might be cool to do in one of your future melts. When a number 6 crucible bigger or smaller has reached it's "worktime" isn't it possible to do a copper melt with it but fill it all the way up as much as possible and let it get hardened inside the crucible. When cooled down on huge ice brick or inside huge ice bucket break/chip off the crucible. No sanding nor spit shining just metal brushing it clean from left over crucible micro parts. Bottom is top and top is bottom so in this crucible formed copper the bottom is the top that you use and leave like that and the top is bottom you can grind until it's like level enough for to put it on a shelf.
My girlfriend and I love your videos, Friday’s never seem to come soon enough! That’s what we plan for all week’! Keep up the good work!
Aah. My most cherished time of the week. Another BigStackD video. 😁
Nice melt mate. Some great looking bars to add to the stack!! 👍👍
I just found this channel. This is all I want to do now. I'm going to start at your first upload and get involved. Thanks for your service. 💰🌟💰
Just sitting here enjoying until you opened the fridge and took the coldest, I do that here too. I laughed so loud I scared my deaf dog! Good stuff!
the clear ice really adds something, it was cool looking before but now its gorgeous
Awesome looking ingots there BigStack a nice edition to your collection buddy, thanks for the video as always I look forward to your uploads 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁😁😁🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊
I think this is your best, even the sun was complimenting your melts.
I always enjoy it when you leave the garage and show us some of the Australian countryside. Cheers from Juneau Alaska, Greg Chaney
I know it comes from experience, but I still find it amazing that you exactly which mold is big enough.
For something more fun to teardown ("real precious metals") look out for contractors and big relays. Usually they have silver contact points. In a single 3 phase contractor I found 12 gram of silver. Haven't got a good place to regularly find them so I've not yet bothered melting the pieces into a bar but I have separated them from the copper using a blow torch.
I hope you have a great weekend, Bigstack! I am about to enjoy mine once night shift work is done tonight. Then I can actually enjoy my holiday in peace!
