A long breakdown, but definitely a fun one . Another awesome free piece from my friend, and a great addition to the stack so sit back relax enjoy but most importantly I hope you have an awesome weekend. Take care and see you all next Friday 👋🏻😃.

Yes, I know the crows are bullies, but you should leave some raw peanuts in their shells out for them. Crows are extremely smart and see everything! They know you like pieces of metal and if you feed them peanuts, they will often bring you little gifts like nuts, bolts, screws, nails, coins, whatever they find that they think you'll like in payment.

Fun fact, the Magpies are actually in the same family as the crows, the Corvid family. They are also extremely intelligent and tend to be less prone to negative behaviors. Some people have actually trained both magpies and crows to speak much like a parrot. I have seen first hand, a Crow dropping off gifts for food. It's pretty awesome how intelligent they are!

Copper would have to be the favourite melt, for sure. The colour and the easy of flow when it's molten and how it dances about in the crucible. The worst is probably brass, due to it being quite, 'lumpy', when poured, as a result of not being able to heat it up quite as hot as you'd like because of the vaporisation of the zinc that turns into poisonous zinc oxide. Aluminium can be a bit, 'soapy', as well, if there's too much crud in with it, due the clean stuff melts better and looks great when it's that lovely cherry red colour when molten. You did exceedingly well in today's video.

As someone who was inspired to scrap and melt because of your videos, I have to say I like the copper pours the best. The way that it flows when pouring and feels when cast is so satisfying. I'm not able to source nearly as much copper as you, so videos like this allow me to experience copper pours vicariously through you. Thanks!!

I was trying to remember what the wrinkles in metal after poring remind me of, and realized they remind me of the tops of brownies.

Back in the day this was one sturdy and quality welder , I know a good weldmachine when I see one 😂. The top part is for continuous welding at high amp ,the machine gets very hot because of that. The fact the cooling fan had a transformer with a temperature feeler. That transformer takes power from the machine's main current to feel when it starts to get more electric resistance then the fan kicks in. Back in the day this was a beast ❤😮 My favorite non ferro metal is copper and carbonsteel as ferro steel. High carbon gives those nice hot white sparks ❤

After the copper I like the Aluminum and lastly the brass, the brass seems to be the hardest one to master. But you're the closest thing to a master that I know of, but I think I'm right about that.
