Now today is a big addition to the stack. I was very happy and quite surprised with just how much Copper I got out of this old beast. A lot of blood sweat and tears in this week's video so I hope you enjoy it but most importantly I hope you've had a great week And you have an amazing weekend. Thanks for the ongoing support. I appreciate it every time you tune in. Take care BSafe and speak with you all soon👋🏻😁. And hope to see you all next Friday🫠

Expect to see my wife and I every Friday. We come home from work and get cleaned up,find a bite to eat and cuddle up to the lovely sounds of that beautiful copper being poured into those molds. It's become a ritual now for a couple years. We absolutely love and enjoy the channel my Aussie friend. Our favorite part is all of the many critters you have running around as you melt. Thank you for bringing a little piece of Australia into our lives, one day our dream is to come visit there and see all the crazy wildlife and everything else it has to offer. Thanks for all your hard work to entertain my wife and plus the millions of others that get joy from watching.❤ God bless and stay safe 🙏

Yeah mate, all good buddy. Thanks again. You’re a champion. Hopefully all goes well on your end next week you get some new toys then I get a new old toy that’s gonna be pretty cool , if not not to worry but you never know. Hot as hell today probably 90% bloody humidity the entire day than when I’m just about to mow the lawn it starts raining so I thought bugger it ill mow anyway , then had a flat battery on the ride on jumped it off The Jeep started mowing, blocked it all up threw a belt and now it’s sitting in the middle of the property getting rained and it won’t start 🤦🏻♂️ a nice cold beer would certainly help that situation out👍🏻. Have a good weekend buddy. Catch up with you soon.

I also wonder that orange would it be a temp heat to temp poured and quenched at learning the process still always loved working with wood and steal. Cause it would be cool if you could create it like the fools gold. Cause when I start making medals for my nonprofit discgolf course would be cool to pour "gold" medals cheers 🍻
@bigstackD9 күн бұрын
Mate, if you wanna pour the best looking golden colour simply do 95% Copper 5% aluminium by weight. Put them in the crucible together and melt away. There won’t be anything to worry about , no flareups no problems at all and no dramas like you will get with the Nordic gold. This mix I mentioned above just give it a stir Before you pour , skim the crap off the top and pour away mate and you’ll get a golden colour even better than Nordic gold. It’s just aluminium bronze but with a different percentage and it’s almost as strong as steel so if you ever get a chance to do it I highly recommend it because you will love it

Hey Mr. StackD! Another great vid! Those blisters though...eek! If I could make a recommendation I'd say get some better work gloves. Those rubber dipped woven fabric ones are great in a pinch, but as you've learned are good for getting a grip on tools and handles, but not gripping stuff directly and twisting. See if you can get your hands on some Mechanix gloves or similar with leather or neoprene palms. Great for manipulating stuff and dedecent life to them. Spend the money on a good pair. You'll save in the long run since you'll buy them less often. I also found Ironclad HEATWORX gloves that are great around the forge with silicon grips that let you pick up still hot ingots and molds (not red hot fresh, but still oven hot/boiling hot)

G'day, mate. It's great to see a new video again this Friday. You worked hard with that engine; your hands looked pretty damaged at the 20:00 mark, but it was worth it to get 33 kilos of metal for your pile. Was the brass you got from that engine a small amount for making a coin? At 1:20:45, it looks like ingot is sniffing around under the tub for some metal ingot. Excellent work, beautiful ingots. Hope you have a fantastic week. Cheers, Max.
@bigstackD7 күн бұрын
Cheers buddy as always appreciate it matey. Yes ingot is always digging in that bath for some reason I think he just has a bit too much energy to that he needs to burn off. Unfortunately I can’t walk him as much as I want to as in summer it’s way too hot even at night and they would overheat Which isn’t good for Frenchies. Yes my hands were absolutely destroyed at the end of that video that’s for sure. The brass I took off wasn’t enough to do even a small half coin so I just put it aside for another day. 👍🏻😁. Thanks again buddy. Have an awesome week.
