HOW I 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.

WW1 Bronze Bayonet From Scrap Metal - ASMR Metal Melting - BigStackD Casting Trash To Treasure

[@bigstackD]

Hey there all you beautiful people how are you all? Today something a bit different where I replicate a bayonet I have had for awhile. Came came out pretty good on the second attempt and I'm quite happy with this piece but no doubt there will be some mixed opinions. Anyway enjoy the video have yourself an awesome weekend and I'll see all you sensational subs next Friday😃👋🏻

I've been doing great bigstackD, hope your life has been going nice and I can't wait till you reach your weight goal! Love your vids!

[@olivierpuyou3621]

Hello Mr BigstackD. For the pieces of armaments found from the Bronze Age and the experiments of experimental archeology (reproduction by trials of ancient methods) that the blades of great lengths were cast with a vertical mold and not with a horizontal mold. Gravity surely having a say. Maybe next time try this method. Have a good day.👍

[@Marin3r101]

[@frankmurphy5]

Thanks to this channel there's no chance I'll ever forget that cardboard under crucible stops firebrick from sticking, and I don't even melt stuff.

[@carolmorton7213]

Yesss!

[@MrGibbie2210]

Approximately 5,000,000 Pattern 1907 bayonets were made in Britain during World War I. The makers were Wilkinson Sword, Sanderson Brothers & Newbould Ltd, James A. Chapman, Robert Mole & Sons, and Vickers Ltd. The X on the Riccaso was a bend test mark… there were presentation ones of these which bore the 1907 date mark and are extremely rare. You have number 528 of 1000 …. Please don’t polish it.

[@yaboyblacklist2431]

In other words, the bayonet he has is very rare and (potentially) very valuable. Sweet.

[@tonyandjackieholmes9546]

Interesting - where is the X and can you shed any light on the other marks - was it issued in 1917 or 1923 Are the other stamps arsenal marks?

[@richkh]

The '17' stamped over the '1907' indicates a 1917 manufacture date. The partial symbol over the '19' is perhaps an '8', so the actual manufacture date would be 8th month 1917. The fact it's stamped with GR indicates it was made during the reign of King George (1910-1936), as opposed to Edward (1901-1910).

[@finoman100]

In other words, put it in a safe place and DON'T do this again..lol

[@ScrewyGirl]

Great episode! You are quite talented and always entertaining. You're quite the artist. Even the ones you consider failures have character. I hope you continue to do this. As long as you do, I'll continue to watch. I would never ask you to do something like the Buster sword, which is a 6-foot-tall, 2-foot-wide monster sword (but really awesome), but anything to do with Final Fantasy VII would give me a "squee" of delight. Maybe the wolf symbol or even the main meteor-planet symbol. Would love to see that.

[@justanothermeltingchannel]

Something you said is bothering me. “…I’m a melter not so much a maker.” You’re wrong. While the elitist gatekeepers of foundry work love to rag on people who “just make ingots,” you have shown millions of people around the world the joy that comes from this hobby of melting scrap metal and making a shiny bar, with sprinkles of castings thrown in, and there are hundreds if not thousands of us who finally took the steps to get started in this very hobby because of your videos, me being one of them. Your video style is impeccable, it has a clear structure from start to finish and is consistent in its storytelling. You are a “maker,” you “make” people happy every Friday morning when we see the notification pop up that you posted. You “make” entertaining videos that help goofs like me stay organized in my head so I can continue to learn about melting and casting. And us dog parents love the chance to see Ingot and Bullion, so you “make” us happy to see how much the doggos love you. Just my two cents. Have a great weekend D.

[@mazzg1966]

Whew that's a ton of work...the casting and melting and videos...Keep up the great work we appreciate you letting us into your world!

[@SimonKenton-md4mw]

+I was stationed in Okinawa back in late 1950's/early 1960's. I munched on those octopus 4-5 days a week. Made me hungry seeing them again. Thanks! Love your vids. Keep them coming. I'm a country boy in upstate New York.

[@tonyandjackieholmes9546]

I love bronze imagine how the Greek and Persian armies must have shone. I though that it came up really well - everything I've seen on casting swords the pour is done vertically.

[@donaldlembo1263]

What a really cool project. Thank You!

[@olivierpuyou3621]

Without being an expert I would say that this bayonet looks a lot like the English bayonets model 1907 of WW1 . I write this with reserve. Greetings from France.

That bronze bayonet looks lovely! Looks like some kind of ceremonial version of the real thing...

[@RewanHelvetius]

don't know enough about the first bajonet but the one that you had on the table is the "Swiss army bayonet m57" that goes on the Assault Rifle 57 and was first issued in 1957. they made about 740000 of them. quite interesting to see one has traveled so far :D

[@Chaos89P]

The first one apparently goes on a short-mag Lee Enfield.

[@masterrserch3971]

EXTRA Awesome video today! That dagger at the very end def looks like a fun one to do! And I think we can officially start the countdown.... ..... .... ... .. ........ 12.....

[@shawnwright4129]

That bayonet you drew at the end, I have one exactly like it. I want to say it's Swiss, but I might be wrong. It's been a while since I've looked at it. It's in my basket of "real" (not the cheap ones you get from a flea market) knives that I have collected over the years. I love me a good copper pour. It's like pouring Tang.

I see some comments complaining about this being an antique etc. People should know that there are likely still millions of these in circulation and they cost around £60-90 and can be found easily both in street markets in the UK or online. They are not rare at all and were mass produced as cheaply as possible. Nothing to worry about damaging or breaking.

So happy you're finally making something out of my favourite alloy (at least, among the ones you're able to make), proper copper/tin bronze. I always find myself shouting at casters, especially those who specialise in weapons, like Alumitube, "Make it out of bronze, FFS, at least it was a material that WAS used in weapons. You'd have been unlikely to find an aluminium sword... I know you're hardly likely to find tin while scrapping though, so I guess that's fair enough.❤

[@bigstackD]

Very true an aluminium blade would break on any type of hard impact so at least ornamental aluminium ones look good at least. I reckon I’ve been through 1000 scrap bins in my time and I have never once found Tin unfortunately . I need to get all my Tin off eBay and it’s certainly not cheap👍🏻
