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.

Scrapyard Salvage 87kg Cig - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure - Copper Brass Aluminum

[@bigstackD]

Absolutely blew through the target last week with over 100 kg added to the stack and set a new target this week. I'm hoping to do bigger melts and not just the little 2-3 kg melts so let's see how that pans out. If you missed last week's video it's definitely a long one and runs for over 90 minutes so check it out when you get a chance. The update on ingots eye is good news and hes making a full recovery from his infection and should be back to normal pretty soon the vet said. Now sit back relax enjoy today's video and I'll see all you beautiful people next Friday👋🏻😁

Hi Could you do a breakdown of the total value up until the passing 1 ton episode? And I am wondering if without the youtube channel your metal recovery would actually be a profitable business. I guess it is marginal.

100% this. Friday nights, I crack open my beer, give a big ol cheers, forget about everything else, and sink into the forge.

[@rg9833]

Its inspiring really. Every time I watch I really want to get into melting. Just grab a forge and go, and see what I can come up with. Adventures to the scrap yard, great finds, the breakdown, melting it up, and the calm pour. Its a hobby which Ive been toying with the idea of getting into.

That's definitely a fibreglass coating on the ali wire mate. It's common in many old welding machines as it was cheaper to use fibreglass to insulate than plastic and rubber back then. At least that's what my grandad told me. He is a retired boilermaker. Love the videos mate. By the way I have about 30-40 copper bushes if you are interested in melting them. I'm in Perth so it won't cost much to send to you. Have a good week mate

[@MeigetsuNoSeishin]

As much as I like the Color of silver metals like aluminum, I actually do like copper better when it comes to recycling metals. Plus it's got that pretty fire 🤩 I used to spend Hours manually stripping the coating off of copper wires when I was a teen. My dad would work a temp job helping out electricians, and at the end of each day they'd give the temp helpers the extra copper cable/wire. We lived within walking distance from the scrap yard, so while he was at work or asleep, I'd sit there with a razor blade and a makeshift grip on it and strip for hours. Used to fill a 5 gallon bucket then take it over for some extra money during the week. It helped us get out of being homeless, alongside the aluminum cans we'd collect on foot from all over the city. Some Fond memories of Father Daughter time honestly 😊

[@fostersstubbyasmr9557]

Love the big pours but looking forward to that eventual silver smelt

[@jackiemorrell2298]

Loving these long videos. Today with that stunning sunrise, your adorable doggos and their cute little chicken drumstick legs, the sights and sounds of the local wildlife, the hunt and teardown of whatever mysterious object your find, the melt and mutant slag, to the finished pieces - just perfect.

[@XPZ4701D]

Well about copper and aluminum and their conductivuty you are right. But that does only apply, if you are looking at the conductivity by volume. If you look at conductivity by weight, copper is a lot worse than aluminum, which is why it often was used on overhead power lines to reduce weight an increase stability. So if you have a weightlimitation on your product and you have not a lot of current and therefore don't have concerns about heat coming off your wires, aluminm is just the better choice. However using it in a welder, where also high very high currents are needed, it is just a way of cheaping out on copper...

[@TrevorHuisman]

You’re getting satisfyingly good at recording the deconstruction of things

[@TrevorHuisman]

If somebody followed your channel and explained how the parts you disassembled worked..I would be so happy

[@simoneurbanski7927]

Hey, welder here!! The reason for this machine and most of the other one is absolutely bc companies are cheap! The other machine looked like a MIG/TIG welding machine though, and it makes sense that spool of wire was aluminum because that’s a common metal used to weld. You’d pretty much never find copper filler metal. Love your videos btw!

[@evebrassard3105]

28:55 considering the age of the welder, that slag might just be asbestos insulation. It was popular as electrical and heating insulation back then.

[@AidanS99]

No I don’t think its that. The Melting point of asbestos is lower than aluminum. If the aluminum is liquid it should also have fully melted.

[@lawrencekurth6515]

It depends on the type of asbestos some melt at 1600f .

[@christopherbilko9243]

It is either asbestos or fiberglass. Either way don't breath it in

Bigstack D, thanks for any of your videos! Long or short brother it is truly Friday when when I get to watch your videos. Glad Ingot is doing good. Also, yes that is fiberglass. Commonly used in the late 50's to mid 70's....was cheaper and kind of did what it need to do. Have a fantasic weekend brother and see you next Friday.

[@bigstackD]

I appreciate that

[@NormanconEVE]

Oh I don't know why I haven't watched these in so long. I used to watch them all the time, best bits of KZbin and then I just got preoccupied. It would obviously appear that you have moved since then and what is an absolutely gorgeous location. Love these videos. Please keep them going.

26:51 That slag has got to be a fibreglass or asbestos wrapping. Asbestos has a fusion point of about 1500C. Fibreglass softens and begins to degrade around 1200C.

[@darkbreed]

fibreglas is melting at 600 till 800 anything that melts or degrade above 800 degrees is asbestos and in rare cases a glas carbon/fibre compound but this is always black from start on and cause huge smoke during melts.

[@Dan-TheOracle]

ooooh top point. its not "fibreglass" as that stuff burns away to nothing at those kinds of temps as its mostly plastic. being that its probably a welder from the 70's or 80's its probably some kind of asbestos.

[@darkbreed]

@@Dan-TheOracle right and this makes it really dangerous, not only that he poluted his area with asbestos fibres by cutting it with the grinder (the melting is not so risky because the fiberes stuck mostly to the molten aluminium), it is a big healthrisk. This is why you should know what exactly you are disassemble and melting, electromotors and transformators from the 70's,80's and early 90's can contain a lot of toxic stuff.

[@kamiochambless2590]

Yikes :O

[@Dan-TheOracle]

>"right and this makes it really dangerous" not really to be honest. i mean yes its better to keep away from it but there are plenty of areas in australia where the stuff is naturally found on the ground. even people who worked in the mines were usually completely fine despite breathing it in. its also been in things like brake linings for decades so is literally in "dust" on every street you will ever walk down. >"t is a big healthrisk." its actually a tiny health risk generally but to the 1 in 1 million people it harms its really bad for them... to the other 999 thousand its no risk at all. its the old M&M risk thing. if you had a plate of 1 million m&m's and you knew one of them was poison would you try a single one? i mean, probably... @@darkbreed

When you decide to discard a crucible, can you please heat it up and put it in a bucket of water? If it is dangerous of course don’t but if not it will be nice to see it shatters.

[@kennethwallace3108]

Not impossible if done safely maybe use a platform that hinges down when you pull a rope that pulls out the pin and then the crucible can fall down in the water

[@janieriddle6068]

More than likely, it's fiberglass sheeting around the aluminum, which is why you had more slag coming out in strands. It sucks but you're right on companies using lesser grade than what's supposed to be used. Love the boys, melts and by the way, could you send me that Breakfast for in the morning please? LOL :-) Have a great weekend BSD 😀

[@Heymrk]

Pretty sure that's asbestos.

[@russellashburn6268]

I think at least some of the aluminum in the coils was to save weight on the adjustment mechanisim. I doesn't hurt that it is cheaper but it may have had the primary purpose of being less weight.

[@bulfin21]

And why do you pre heat the molds?

[@ashcraft555]

And what do you do with the steel, rubber and plastics you don't use for melting?

[@HE-pu3nt]

Pay attention, he tells you every video to put cardboard between crucible and firebrick. Damp moulds = boom. You should do a youtube search on molten aluminium/water interaction, bugger me they can be violent. Everyone thinks aluminium is really stable and safe, but that's because of the aluminium oxide on the surface of all of it. Once you melt it it can be as reactive as magnesium.

[@lunar_order]

Cardboard is what he uses he says it in some of his videos

Definitely need a jar, high height for metal drops perfectly formed That could be very fun to add this in a small treasure box side to the big one ❤ Cheers from France 🇲🇫

I recognize an @altguild notebook cover when i see one. Very nice.

I just wanted you to know, that watching your videos eventually inspired my to make my own little scrapping hobby, taking apart electronics, extracting copper from the wires, harvesting individual circuitry, and completely taking apart things to their base materials. I actually have an agreement with my local humane society thrift store, and they offer me entire boxes of old out-of-date electronics they can't sell, for me to take apart on a monthly basis! Doing this, I now have multiple pounds of pure, raw copper, and a cheap little dinky smelting rig my friend bought me. (I also have a handful of brass, lead, and an arm-full of alluminium, in the form of heat sinks extracted from circuit boards) If you like, when I finally get it all going and cast myself a big ol' ingot, and chop it up into smaller ingots to send out to all my friends, I could send you one too, if you wanted, as a token of thanks for inspiring me.

Something I saw on another channel (It might have be The Backyard Scientist) was pouring molten aluminium into a container full of water and Orbeez. It created some really cool sculpture type thing. Could you try that with a load of different types of metals, please? Dropping the aluminium and brass into the bucket of water reminded me about it.

[@bigstackD]

I actually did orbeez a few months ago with square orbeez but it didn’t turn out as great as I hoped but I will try it again with the round ones as I would love to do a nice big copper orbeez statue 👍🏻

Hate that the ice cream man never makes his way out to the new place. Always loved that gag haha

[@josephpedone2004]

Currently 65°F here in Philadelphia and misty rain, good day just to relax and watch BigStackD 😎👍

[@michalledick8281]

Such a wonderful day for smelting. Have a great weekend. See you next week.

[@devanclements3]

The outside setup is awesome for when it's not too hot out

[@donniegraybeard9620]

I enjoy those 10 seconds of beautiful sunny Aussie back yard shots, BigStack. Keep’em in my guy. And the dogs too.

[@andymitts251]

You may not like having so much of it, but aluminum is my absolute favorite melt to watch. I love when things are unexpectedly aluminum

[@GeminiStars]

I enjoy all your melts, but you're right that copper is just better. More satisfying. That color! It's moltenness!

[@michealklonowski5267]

yes i did see the motor melt that was a project and a half for one man.i am glad you didn't get hurt with that one .i have moved those and bigger and they are hard work getting them apart for repair.

[@chrishahn3834]

I've had a pile of aluminum and copper ready to melt since February but I just haven't been feeling it this year. :( Thanks for giving me something to watch in the mean time.

[@aShadowInBlue]

There exists such a thing as copper-clad aluminium wire. If that's what you have, you could probably roughly separate the materials with good temperature control techniques. Likely, your first melt would be high purity aluminium, and the slag would be a copper/aluminium alloy.

[@mysticwolf2842]

That slage looks a lot like it could be asbestos or something like it. Fiberglass would burn almost completely off, but asbestos it somewhat heat resistant and that's what it looks like. Be very careful around d that stuff. Love these melting asmr videos, the last one was great.

[@KirkHermary]

How does it look like asbestos? I've handled asbestos many times in many different shapes and applications. I have never seen asbestos that looks like fiberglass.

[@mysticwolf2842]

@KirkHermary it looks like the same stuff that was used on many of the older ships that The navy and COAST GUARD had. Those ships had asbestos covering the cables, the same tubular stuff, it was used in and around the big motors as well as the cables.

[@brmamabrma4723]

Because it’s now October it would be cool if you made a skeleton made of different metals ex. Brass arms, copper ribs, aluminum skull, zinc legs, and a Nordic gold spine

[@hoopsm6106]

As always I love green flames and copper! But the drops in the water turned out really cool.

[@woopimagpie]

Good to see the AEG tools. 95% of the quality of the red or teal brands but for 70% of the price. And if you find yourself on a building site they won't get pinched because none of the tradies are use them. The 5 year warranty is pretty hard to beat, not that I've ever had to take one back, they go forever. I've got an old drill/driver with a 2AH battery that's now 9 years old, still working just fine, I've built 2 shops worth of shelving with it (over 100 shelves) and I have NOT been nice to it (it's been dropped, overheated, hit with a hammer, used as a hammer, left in a hot car for days, drowned in a ditch full of dirty water, it's pretty banged up) but it refuses to die, even the battery still works fine. Unbreakable, the Toyota of tools.

[@matthewtrott9498]

Hey just want to say, new to the channel, love watching very therapeutic for me, also my dog loves to watch because of all the cool noises plus she loves watching your dogs get treats lol. I had brain surgery months ago and stumbled upon your channel and it got me through my boredom while I healed. Doing better now and still enjoy keeping up watching your channel. Thank you. From Cape Cod, Ma

[@NeoN-PeoN]

That's crazy. I'd have thought fiberglass would melt before aluminium did.

[@annajamieson4969]

I enjoyed the other large big dismantle and pour from last week. Always fun watching you reclaim good metal and repouring it.

[@blythetretick7081]

Love the classical music going to and from scrapyard, store, etc. The sound editing is just great, blue parts et al!

[@danielcarter305]

Do you think that's what BigstackD really listens to in the car? I bet he listens to heavy metal and classic rock most of the time.😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@doc3379]

LOL, I love how your diesel Jeep sounds like a cam'ed out V8.
