GIANT Aluminum Ingot From OLD Crutches - Melting And Etching Metal At Home

[@jasonthomas7069]

That was an ambitious flip. Awesome work.

[@joshcarver5231]

Excellent video man! Keep up the good work

[@roland4240]

Seeing Bigstacks popularity rise from burning down his house, Adrock breaks his legs in order to gain access to aluminum crutches

[@kristym1459]

Great video!! Always fun to watch!!

[@mr.h4646]

Awesome video!

[@fb___4255]

That was a great one! Keep it going, you deserve the best.

[@jamesmiley5727]

Safe to say, you have perfected the art of aluminum. Well done bro. Love the fire in the hole reference.

[@mem4021]

This is the first time I noticed your signature at the bottom of the mold. It’s a really neat effect on the raw ingot. I like the etching too. It gives the ingot new, more professional look

[@joshuabonner4058]

Hope you dont need crutches anytime soon. Awesome video as always

[@elicohen8089]

hey does a 2kg crucible fit soda cans? starting out this wonderful hobby myself with a devil forge : )

[@lauriepenner350]

Adrock is placing the ingot on his shelf when he trips and sprains his ankle. "If only I had some... Aw, dammit...."

[@jamesway5036]

Very nice. 👍 I have a couple crutches I have picked up while out driving and a lot of other scrap also. Hopefully in the next month I will be able to start melting down what I have. Keep the videos coming. I look forward every week for them 👍

[@MrHutch]

Great video as always. Can’t get enough of these

[@LanguageofWreckage]

It would be super cool to see how much each crutch weighs in pure aluminum!

[@WessCastings]

Hey great videos keep it up man!!!

[@Charlielizard]

Hard to believe that you can get that much aluminum from an armload of crutches. All the way around: perfect job. Etching is the icing on the cake. Thanks for posting. 👍

[@thesusboomerroblox6516]

I mean they are durable and aluminum so it’s definitely thicc

[@frozengrapes1178]

Thank you big stack an Ingot for the good shows you produce and I like that every Ingot and every coin and everything he casts has its own signature fingerprint like a snowflake good work

[@allenhenry1113]

Wow didnt think it was that much weight in crushes! Lol

[@madduck692002]

That was cool to watch the aluminum pole circling the drain!

[@ralphmourik]

@ 1:30 , FYI for people watching: See sparks while grinding? ... not Aluminum.... Iron/steel 👍 Nice ingot!! I'll be making loads of those when I get that mold too 👍😋👊

[@ralphmourik]

@@clambroth1923 Over there maybe, my scrapyard does take ingots, but they are not getting mine :D I like my pile of shinnies!

[@bigredbullion3883]

Great video bro

[@tylerkrug7719]

That must be difficult trying to balance all your hot items on top of those little fire bricks. Have you ever tried using Hardie backer board as a fire proof surface? I have vermiculite boards I use, I think there meant for kiln shelves, Hella more expensive then Hardie backer, I've been meaning to grab a sheet

Oh man I work in a hospital and see tons of those things in the trash every week, I wish I wasn't so far away I'd ship them to you!

[@ArtByAdrock]

Haha I’ll pay the shipping.. send em my my 👍🏻

[@thesusboomerroblox6516]

Ik like at least sell them because I know those ain’t free unless it covered by something

[@nicolec6852]

About time for another shelf? 😄

[@ArtByAdrock]

Yes it is 👍🏻

[@hasanalkumaish6940]

Nice idea... salt and water i will try this one

[@DKW-Biker]

Another great ingot !!! Thanks for sharing.

[@leotalaska2888]

I use a log splitter to crush the aluminum flat and it helps break pieces apart to length without cutting.

[@tylerkrug7719]

That crucible has seen better days, lol

[@Thewulf56]

Nice bar. Been sneaking moms crutches again. Lol I was thinking the same thing as Ralph on the sparks. Love the etching. Keep up the good work 🍻🍻🍻👍👍👍🐺

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks 🙏 yeah that pole was steel. I just threw it back in the recycling pile 👍🏻

[@TheHearseAroundJimThorpe]

I can’t stress how badly I wanted to do this when I was on crutches.

[@donniebrown2896]

People that have not experienced arm pit rash have no real idea why you say this.

[@thesusboomerroblox6516]

@@donniebrown2896 I never needed to use them for way to long I mean they are uncomfortable but never to the point of this bad

What the Hell Arock !! When u ask to borrow my crutches I thought u hurt yourself 😋

[@ArtByAdrock]

Oops 🤣🤣🤣

[@sirmack3262]

Hey I'm planning on meeting some aluminum as round stock and square stock for projects on my Mill and lathe. Are those ingots porous inside? Is there a way to make them like billet aluminum?

[@ArtByAdrock]

They are not porous. I would assume they would machine just fine

[@lauriepenner350]

Does the boiling water bucket damage your plastic lawn?

[@moosescrapper5928]

Great video! Quick question, I have been searching for the drill bits you have with the sanding pads on them, where do you get them and what are they called? Thanks!!

[@ArtByAdrock]

I get them off Amazon. Look up “Coceca 2 Inches 100pcs Sanding Discs Pad Kit” 👍🏻

[@billsonic1036]

Are the white blocks the plaster of Paris?

[@clintdoolittle1576]

ADAM that was AWESOME viddy and its ALWAYS a good day for MELTING lol love the big puff of smoke at the end of the pole and the damn pole going in circles not once but twice that just killed me for sum reason. So I have to ask this. You waited for people to come out of the hospital and you stole their crutches didn't you lmfao I'm just kidding lol well I sure can tell ya you have a 1UP on Biggy and that is the Etching looks way better then stamping it well I'm done till next Thursday viddy 🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks buddy.. 👍🏻

[@kerhy7666]

7:32 this is the most important part if you want hard ingot with tough core .. look at BigStackD last video he put that ingot on the ice block again and core couldnt get hard and whole ingot broke... So keep goin and your ingots will never broke 🥰

[@reginaldwigglebottom4731]

Cool video. What do you use for a vinyl cutter?

[@JWsCoinsandHobbies]

Is the solution the same to etch other metals? Like will it work on other metals?

[@ArtByAdrock]

Yes it will 👍🏻

[@JWsCoinsandHobbies]

@@ArtByAdrock thanks!

[@Farkles1]

Outstanding perfection. Great video 👍🍻🍻

[@Slide100]

Nice job! Question though, are there different grades of aluminum like there are for steel? Or is it all just the same stuff, no matter the source?

[@TheHearseAroundJimThorpe]

Slide100 there are definitely different grades. For example in the iPhone 6 remember the bending it was 6000 series aluminum. Then apple learned and upgraded to the 7000 series aluminum.

[@donniebrown2896]

@@TheHearseAroundJimThorpe a few more, cast aluminum like auto wheels (most desired) cast engine parts, extruded aluminum, aluminum cans (easiest to find) Another KZbinr found out alloys the bad way, aluminum magnesium, magnesium is a big no no in home furnace casters

[@Sebastian-lu8en]

Hello, i have a question, melt aluminium is toxic? molten aluminum releases toxic fumes??

[@konstellashon1364]

Does it matter which node of the battery is on the swab?

So, you are very ambitious and i enjoy watching your KZbin channel and if you don't mind me asking where you are from?

Well I think you know what I'm gonna say, great show, and by all means don't let Mom see this, she might put two and two together. Lol be safe brother and enjoy your weekend

Everything I melt pretty much comes from friends 👍🏻

[@clearnews7344]

You wasted too much time showing cutting up, melting too many pieces etc. No one cares. Short 2 quick cuts and move on. You get trapped a lot in your vids showing too much non important crap. Cool projects but 12 min vid can be 5 min and just as informative
