21LB Bullet Casing Bar - Scrap Casing Casting - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure - BigStackD

[@bigstackD]

Hey there all you beautiful people 👋🏻 howz ya week been ? . Back again for a simple casing melt video. Well over 10 kg melted and a great big ugly bar . Definitely in my top 10 ugliest bar but I still love it. So sit back relax enjoy the video and have an amazing day😃

[@thexwhats2989]

Craziest week the past few months

Plenty of reloaders in Aus, but7.62/.308 makes no economic sense to reload

[@fishinhank942]

I have some brass I need to send you for a future melt!

[@LeonParrish-q6w]

What was the white stuff that looked like spider webbing or cotton? I know it was coming from the smoke, but I've never seen anything like it! What do you do with the live rounds? Disarm them and melt later?

[@LeonParrish-q6w]

Oh, and why throw the Zinc away? Why not remelt later? Sorry for all the questions. Just curious. Thank you!

[@walter2990]

It's been a pretty tough 2 weeks here in Florida with two Hurricanes blasting through our part of the globe. My family has been abundantly blessed with no fatalities or major damage, but that can't be said for 10's of thousands of my fellow countrymen. Sleep has been tough, but today, my favorite melting Aussie has provided me with an awesome video to help me close my eyes and dream about melting metal! Thank you, BigStackD, for helping us to calm our anxieties and realize that the sun will come up again, tomorrow! Stay well, stay safe, and know that we'll get thru this together.

[@mrwest5552]

my favorite metal to be poured by you is copper, you like the green flame at night so it's good to see someone happy. i truly hope both monkies and the missus are well. this vid is a Like 👍

[@briankericksen88]

Copper is my favorite. I love that it beads when it melts.

[@ChrisPelletier73]

Copper is my favourite because of the texture of the frozen top…like bunched silk

[@bedfordshiremodeller4491]

​@@ChrisPelletier73Copper is also avery tough/strong metal to work with

[@vertuul]

I will second this comment. Copper has some of the best color of the metals you melt.

I gotta disagree with you. That is actually the COOLEST brass bar you have done! It has more character than the regular ones. Anyone else agree?

[@matthewdebeer8453]

I can’t believe more people haven’t said zinc! It pours so nicely, and the surface tension is just right to make great looking edges. It’s like aluminium but better!

[@RichardStrocky]

That's not ugly, I think it's just beautiful and it does have tons of character.

[@grngrss265]

I'd love to get an audio loop of just the forge running to fall asleep to. So relaxing!

[@poler96]

Same. Just did some screen recording of it running, but I can't find like the perfect tone. Sometimes it's the perfect one in the intro cut tho. Imma try some in the future or try again on the vieod from a few weeks back

With how turbulent the water was it was probably just picking up some steam but I’ll take it 👊🏻.

[@groom_of_the_stools]

It didn't really. It's just a cheap thermometer. If the water really were to hit 100°C, it would instantly vaporize into steam. Thermodynamics.

I love a copper melt! I also am now fixated on watching you breaking the 100 C boiling point. It's all good.

[@marlonunyeri7766]

Hello, I have a suggestion for you: You might consider making a funnel 30-40 cm long and a little smaller than the diameter of the melting pot to add the melted material into the burning furnace. This will make it easier to add the material and prevent the metal from falling into the furnace. Greetings from Türkiye 🇹🇷🇦🇺

[@chilomine839]

It wouldn't be as fun without the random rage moments though. xD

[@marlonunyeri7766]

@@chilomine839 We should also ask this to the owner of this hobby.. Doing the chore and beeping the video? Or some developments that will increase the quality of his work and save him time?

I was thinking that too, also for stuff like water casting or even sand casting to avoid spills

[@scottclark4363]

The big bar , was a masterpiece ❤

Fav metal to be poured is still copper. Especially love watching it "freeze". Brass always looks sickly and gross, but cleans up the nicest haha I love Friday's because of these vids! Why are they so relaxing!?

That was a good melt Big D! Having seen that bar in person, I can confirm its ugliness, but it's also awesome at the same time! It definitely has a character of its own, and it looks awesome among the stack! See you Monday mate.

[@bigstackD]

Cheers buddy, appreciate it mate. The money will go to beer or strippers so you know I’m not gonna waste it👌🏻. Yes definitely was an ugly bugger I should’ve called it the grumpy Harley bar. Have fun in Perth mate and catch ya Monday but not too bloody early , I need my beauty rest👊🏻

Several things… it cracked me up that the first words spoken in your videos that I’ve heard were bleeped out when the casings fell outside the crucible. Second, my heart smiled when I saw your Buc-ee’s koozie. Third, that was a beautiful bar today, lots of character. I randomly had one of your videos appear in my feed and I’ve been hooked ever since.

[@bigstackD]

I Appreciate it my friend. I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos 👊🏻😁

[@RedsVods]

My favorite is Copper. Love watching it turn orange as it cools

[@MiKs_Stuff]

unpopular opinion but the brassbigboi looks so good it has a lot of character to it. looks like some ancient one looks like it went through a lot of wars. I would appreciate if you do casting from dfferent things like extracting metal from different scraps, then making something of out it (not always bars) After a time people MIGHT get bored.... Binge watched your videos in 2019-2020 It got recommended to me today on my diff account was so happy and calming to watch that big brass ingot come out good after polishing keep up your good work!!

[@ChuckUFarley90]

Favorite metal to melt is Cast Iron. It looks so good when it's cleaned up.

[@pauljohnson4126]

Thx BigD, You helped to relax me after stressfull week.

[@CanisAnubis]

There is a special polymer "hammer" you can get with a hollow interior that will fit most bullets, and you put the round inside it, then hit the hammer down opposite of the round-side, and will use gravity plus force to pull the round out and all the gunpowder. Even if it's a blank/dud round, it should pull it out. I /think/ you can reverse it to eject the primer too. It's called an "Impact Bullet Puller Hammer", if that's something you'd consider adding to your arsenal of tools. :) They're like $30 US - nothing crazy.

[@mazzg1966]

Wow...I didn't think I would be impressed with the ugly bastard bar, but I think it turned out really amazing...I love the convoluted pour markings on it....I think it is one of my favorites! Thanks for taking us along!! I think I like the copper bars that you polish up the best! Looking for the next video!

[@petertom829]

I love the way the copper freezes. thx for your vids, keep them coming, even the short ones during the week, they are a nice surprise

[@goldendredger]

Even if you missed a loaded round or primer nothing would happen when placed in the furnace that would hurt you or anything. It would simply pop if just a primer and if an unfired round it will simply split the side of the brass casing with a simple pop. Not even close to the noise of a firecracker. Nothing to worry or be stressed about.

[@catgynt9148]

Considering his hyper awareness of steam explosions a live round would probably make a big splash. Let’s skip the airborne liquid metals.

[@ThelmaliaSilva]

This is honestly one of my favorite casts I have seen you do! I’m 36 with 2 kids and have done everything from woodworking on my lathe, to making coin rings, but have never tried out casting metal.

Yes for the last few months I’ve put the dogs at the end of my vids . That way people can just click away as 95% of my viewers Don’t really care about seeing them.

Hi from Washington State. My favorite to see poured is copper. So cool when it goes from gray to that beautiful copper color as it cools. Wow!

[@davidbarnes7617]

Funny, there was a point in the video where I was wondering about whether the process would require breathing protection, and BOOM, you were there in your respirator lol. As far as what types, aluminum is so satisfying to watch due to the reflectivity of the molten bar before it cools.

[@demoniack81]

Call me simple but I really like lead. The fact it melts so easily, it's so easy to clean up, and the final product is so unreasonably heavy compared to any other metal (with the exclusion of exotic materials like tungsten) makes it really stand out imo.

[@Dragonoo1990]

In my humble opinion this is not ugly , the dark groves in the bar making it so unique , the only thing ugly in this bar is the bottom part (the part poured in to form the bar) , and the joint between the 1st and 2nd pour making it looks awesome.

[@Ratten86]
