Bullet Shell Melting & Furnace Restoration - ASMR Metal Melting - BigStackD Casting Casings

[@bigstackD]

How is everyone ? today is the day I finally clean up my furnace. I've done hundreds of melts and it's actually held up pretty well but now she'll hold up for years to come. Now if you enter the giveaway the details are in the description but just be aware whenever there's a giveaway the scammers come out of the woodwork and try to trick people into saying they have won and then get them to leave KZbin to talk to them pretending to be me and then they will ask for gift cards or delivery payments so just be very aware of who you're talking to in the comments. Anyway enough of that so be sure to have an awesome weekend and I'll hopefully see you all next Friday😁👋🏻

[@HighPlainsDrifter_2024]

I like the Skull and Cross all stainless steel bracelet. That was so hard to choose between so many great pieces!

[@PJKhardknowledge]

Real rate in India is 441INR per kg. Hence for 1.89 kgs it's 833INR.

[@budwick9240]

Question, pretty sure it was here, couple years back watched you brew some magnificent looking tea with these dried chunks of something tea came out vibrant red, I need that in my life, ring any bells?

[@rhysfirth3506]

@@budwick9240 sounds like roobois. South African herbal tea. There's quite a few SA immigrants in Aussie, same as here in NZ, so it's pretty common to find in the stores.

I gotta say, the buddha god of wealth is looking mighty and evil, mang ☝☝

[@Slywyn]

This guy is just out here living his best life.

[@MrGoesBoom]

Getting to see you take care of your equipment can be just as interesting as the melts. Thanks!

[@risefromtheash1998]

Loved the restoration and really appreciate the warnings/disclaimers you put on your videos to remind people that are otherwise unknowing just how dangerous this type of work/hobby is. Common sense isn't common if it's no longer taught so thank you for the lessons. 😊

[@PrinceAlhorian]

Considering the amount of thermal stress these forges survive, and the sheer amount of heating cycles for our entertainment, it is amazing that they last so long.

[@ahsmeg4069]

That's kaowool for you

[@villie86]

Man, the amount of residual sulfur never ceases to amaze me in these casings...

[@jaggerstephens6276]

Awesome video, quick note for anyone using Hydrochloric acid, or muriatic acid to clean parts, be sure to use some baking soda to neutralize the acid as of there is any left it will continue to eat at the metal (and also use ventilation!!!)

[@jryan3906]

Great video. Never have seen a furnace relined/refurbished before so really appreciate you sharing details. The brass ingots are terrific looking as well. I love the Silver/Gold Futhark Runes Compass Viking Ring! Thanks and please keep those videos coming! Cheers.

[@erchamojosue8530]

That furnace turned out like it's brand new, great job and thank you bigstackD Casting for sharing a piece of your world with us.

[@ogchaxzor3562]

As a 90s kid i will always have a soft spot for the bike chain bracelets. I havent owned one in years, but it reminds me of the good old days lol. Thank you for the awesome videos!

[@timothyodonnell8591]

I absolutely loved the forge restoration. Really neat!

[@darrinsiegel482]

I love the vintage pattern gem rings ... it's awesome to watch you every Friday , ive gone back to the first video and binged watch all of them to catch up .... my wife and I love seeing Ingot, and Bullion. They are so adorable ....

[@robertbeer2584]

Really enjoy your posts and look forward to fridays, great restore on that old furnace looks like new. can't say which ring I like best all are great. Give the boys a scratch for me

[@tammybrazeau1213]

Great to see a man take care of his tools. Bravo. The boys looked a little 😔 today. Bet they can't wait to be with you full time. Keep up the great vids wait patiently every week for a new one. Thanks bud

[@catthewondahokulea6515]

Awesome and thank you for the great video! Now all we need is a friend to park their aluminum plane next to your place so you can help it be formed into a new aluminum plane. Also seeing the Ingot and Bullion is another reason for why this channel is the best!!!

[@Jcscmnnrp]

I think the Aztec Jaguar Warrior ring is really cool looking. Also the restoration looked great!

[@graysonjudd6634]

I enjoy things that remind me of nature. As such, the forest wood ring and the dragon spine rings are the two that caught my eye. Simple and nature inspired. Thank you for taking us through the process of replacing the lining in the forge. It was cool.

[@mathiasschneider9113]

It must feel great to use a newly restored furnace. Especially if you restored it yourself. I like the retro simple plain square ring. Gives solid vibes.

[@aidenavalon6315]

My favorite ring is the leviathan cross stainless steel ring! This video was super interesting I love it! As I've been watching you I've always been curious about the process for cleaning out a furnace and I'm glad you give us little peeks into the nitty-gritty of smelting and casting!

[@plasterman215]

Your new place looks awesome lots of nice room to do your thing. I dont have a favorite. Just enjoy the videos you put up every Friday and have not missed one. Keep up the good work.

[@stephaniearant6258]

My 6 year old son and I watch this every Friday night. He loves this, and he’s learning so much! Your video is part of his bedtime routine these nights and he looks forward to it. Thank you for putting these videos out. It really makes a difference for him. I can’t tell you his favorite part because he’s probably enamored with it all, it’s probably the dogs, but he knows why you put the cardboard under the crucible every time and tells me. So, thank you for teaching him something that isn’t a video game ❤

[@alastairwheadon9785]

Thank you bigstacksD Casting for your weekly posts, another great video. Very useful and informative videos. They inspired to make my own furnace out of scrap finds an old gas bottle, cocktail shaker, leafblower and BBQ coals (It actually worked, managed to melt copper). Eventually I saved up for a 10kg Devil Forge (amazing bit of kit). It has bought me many hours of fun melting and learning how to cast. Love the new workshop.

[@wammyz]

You have some excellent boys, glad to see they'll be coming to be with you again. I love the Sugar skull ring with the skulls in its eye sockets, but the flying dragon ring is a close second. Thanks for sharing your meltdowns with us.

[@andrewkeith192]

Hey bigstackD, love your videos. The consistency and quality of content really isn't seen much anywhere else on youtube these days. As for the giveaway, I liked the dragon spine stainless steel ring. Cheers!

[@dariusznewill7354]

Świetna robota 👍 Ładne pieski 🐕 🖐️

[@DicedIceBaby314]

The chain bracelet you tried on is my favorite. Thank you for all of the great content, and congrats on the new place!!!!

[@reverendlarshassler245]

Thank you for showing the cement portion of the forge restoration. I always had questions about that. The st-benedict-stainless-steel-cross ring in black or the coin ring is really nice. Not really what alot of people are into but i think its extremely nice. Thanks again for yet another awesome video....... Cant wait until the next one.

[@sarahguynup6946]

I'm loving that green eye ring. Seeing you recoating that furnace was pretty sweet. My husband and I watch your videos every Friday.

[@emelfia]

So glad the boys will be with you soon! 🥰 The jewelry is all so beautiful! What fantastic craftsmanship! The celtic flying dragon is so cool but they are all gorgeous pieces of art! 😁

[@vincentcloud]

You video are very calming. I like that you showed how you maintain your equipment. I never know what was in the forge and didn't know some products existed. Very informative.

[@Kenzie.]

I would love another massive motor meltdown, it's super satisfying and I've seen your old one probably like 20+ times. Love the videos, keep up the amazing work 😀 edit. I like the wolf tooth stainless steel beast pendant

[@athikokk]

me too

[@janieriddle6068]

Me three 😀

[@gavindebree9011]

Always look forward to seeing your melts every single week. Saturday morning. Peace and quite and your melts. But hey lets not forget get coffee. Can’t wait to see the new melting area come together and just amazing how you brought your furnace back to life for another many rounds of melts. Have an awesome week.

[@firet1019]

it's very interesting to see all the things that go into melts and stuff, from the actual melts to the cleanup to the restoration. My favourite ring is the Tree of Life Stainless Steel Viking Ring the Silver and Gold Variant. keep up the good work

[@jeffgagne6439]

This is my much needed zen time each week. Really digging the Thor’s hammer braided rope bracelet too. Thank you!

[@esshamm6732]

Love your videos, can’t wait to see the boys at the new place. Excited for another Nordic gold video, also the Eye of Providence stainless steel spinner ring is amazing.

[@kori_snw]

Thanks for another giveaway! That Futhark Viking Compass ring is amazing! And I loved how you had to trick Ingot into eating the cucumber. 😂 I'm always surprised at how much dirt is in the bullet casings. Anyway, thanks again for another awesome vid!

[@pollyseip]

Love it when you melt casings!! I’ve been looking forward to the forge restoration since you mentioned it a couple few months back. Nicely done!! And a silly useless side note, a recent weigh in was 1,977. I took note because that’s my birth year and my birthday happened that week.

[@brookedearing7551]

My boyfriend and I love your videos! We watch everytime one comes on! The videos are so relaxing and the boys are beyond cute! Love seeing them every video! My 8 year old granddaughter (who watches since she was 5) and I also say "Thank you for saving the planet every melt you do"! I love any of the Celtic or more unusual pieces of jewelry. Keep melting on my friend!!!!

[@dylanbruce1046]

I have been waiting for a full treatment video for ages, worth the wait compared to others. Also I am not sure how I have not found that site yet, the Celtic knot / compass bracelet is fantastic. Keep the vids coming please, it's the only way I can experience a dream hobby currently, haha

[@Pacosworld78]

Great video. Planning on melting and casting in a few years. Watching your videos is the next best thing. The vintage dragon scale stainless steel bracelet looks awesome.

[@SJWCASTING]

The restored furnace looks so good now! But it reminds me that I need to do that myself😅. Those small ingots start to grow on me after seeing you pour a couple of them. They look awesome! Great job! I’m a big fan of the “ archangle saint Michael stainless steel ring “ the silver/gold one in particular😉.

[@akripper6248]

Was awesome to see how the forge is lined, thanks for sharing! And I'm liking the Bear Claw Stainless Steel Viking Ring.

[@thomashowe855]

Did not know how much i needed a bigstackd restoration vid! Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it.

[@glennhenry6907]

Great video as always. It never occurred to me that it was stainless steel wrapping the furnace. For some reason I thought the inside was more of a foam material, so I learned a lot. As for the ring, I suppose you can't go wrong with a St Christopher ring.

[@greenflat259]

Really cool video as always! Didn't exactly know how the furnace was without all that matting, so nice to see as well. And my favourite ring of all is the Futhark Runes Compass Viking Ring, the gold and silver version, it just looks like straight up treasure lol

[@Chief_390]

I’ve been looking forward to the re-lining video! Love watching your weekly uploads every Friday! My favorite Ring is the VINTAGE VIKING RUNES STAINLESS STEEL RING.

[@grayraven9927]

i like how the furnace turned out looks brand new keep going i love how calming the smelting is (i like the stainless steel eagle claw ring)

[@marycolleenfoley2235]

I love that this video shows how to mantain a forge instead of throwing it out and buying a new one. These are great skills to use over and over in ones shop. Love that you are showing them for others to see. Another great video. I love the meaning behind the Cage Skull Ring in sterling silver how it stands for rebirth and building a new spirit.

[@salbrancaccio7042]

I see Ingot was being a little finicky today. Thanks for such awesome videos. I look forward to them every Friday. Would love to see another motor or big copper melt or something that you have to take apart with lots of aluminum and copper. You're a pretty amazing person. Where are u hiding your snack next week? I like the Anubus stainless steel ring.

[@QYXP]

Honestly one of my favourite channels on KZbin, been watching since around my 250kg in the stack and loved every video since! Can't wait to get to the tonne!

[@janieriddle6068]

Always love the uploads with the boys 🙂 Ty for showing us the real deal on the forge re-lining. It was awesome! I like anything that's forged. A Ring.. Pendant anything It's all very nice stuff 🙂

[@Alex-lc6vi]

I really like the one below the big box of skulls to the left. It’s got 4 rings in it and a chain. Like the designs on em. Thanks for the amazing vids man. Keep it up.

[@gus89able]

Its great seeing the stack grow! Getting closer to target now, interested to see what you have planned to take you over the threshold! And i love the dragon scale bracelet

[@syktv45]

Thank you for all of your videos that you share with us every friday. I love watching you in the evening for a relaxing metal melt. As for the ring choice, Fenris-wolf Stainless Steel Viking Ring looks great!!!

[@11PhinPhan]

Been watching for three of your coating videos so far 🤘 always look forward to your videos every Friday and of course Ingot and Buillon when they show up 😁 keep well

[@11PhinPhan]

Holy crap and I just saw that you’ve only got 99 kilos left till your goal! Congratulations!! 🎊 🎉 can’t wait to be watching when you reach it

[@juliemcgowan1236]

My boyfriend and I watch your videos with our daughter every week! We really enjoyed this week’s video. My favorite ring is the Thistle and Thorns stainless steel ring. We look forward to your videos every week and it’s nice bonding time. Our daughter is 3 months old and my boyfriend works 50+ hours a week. We’re working on moving into a new apartment and nothing is a clear routine except when we sit down every Friday to see your upload. Thank you so much for your content!

[@72eagle]

Rule number one is taking care of your tools, and I often wondered what was needed to maintain the forge, but you answered that for me. Thank you! Love the vids and love the recycling. I really can't help but wonder what will happen when you reach your goal! **Edit** Love all your rings and bracelets, size 15 is hard to find lol, but love the fiery dragon viking bracelets. Hope you have a great weekend and hope to see the puppers in their new home soon

[@TravisCarlson]

Wife and I love the video. Interesting to see how you take care and replace the lining. Love the rings. Also, my students love to watch you on the free time Fridays, in my computer lab.

[@pshellien]

Excellent vid as always. Very many thanks for the great work and time you put into these. Is good to see you managed to take the crows to the new place too 😂😂 The Tree of Life stuff is great as matches in with my ink work too So very tempted to start melting and casting myself….think I will have to start small though

[@JamesSkellington-xj8nn]

Really cool first ingot in your new mold . And love the restoration of your furnace too .👍👍

[@fierceflyer5]

Great video, beautiful area to video your craft. Really like the Vintage Dragon Scale Bracelet as well as some other item.

[@IMBShappie]

Very cool stuff on that site. I really like the Viking themed stuff, especially the Celtic Hammer Stainless Steel Bracelet. I love the design of the little hammers, they're sick. They remind me of the one somebody found recently metal detecting and made news.

[@lukasethan6429]

Super dope. Been following for years, just now starting to melt stuff down. Thanks!

[@lateefcarrere1649]

I usually watch your videos all the way through, but today, all the time I spent cooking for Thanksgiving caught up with me, and the sound of the furnace gave me a nod. But I came back when I heard the ingots getting cleaned up. ASMR really works, lol!😁

[@konstantinpobedonotsev5589]

Love how you’re always recycling things for your melts, and love how you save even the dust for future melts! Keep up the great work!

[@NorthFlPicker]

Great informational video when a furnace restoration is needed. It’s impossible to pick any one favorite item from your store… but thanks for the knowledge either way. When I put my burner in and put the wool around it, I cut a strip aluminum foil and covered it just for added security, it’s held up well and hasn’t moved at all.

[@scri33le]

Great video. Furnace turned out wonderful. The jewelry site is really nice. I liked the sterling fist of fate necklace & the 9-tailed fox ring. I had a friend that passed whose animal was the fox and I know she'd think it was pretty rad. Thanks for the great videos.

[@barryjack3025]

Nothing better than to start off the new studio/ workshop with a good clean and refit!

[@austinphilapy5040]

Awesome video! I want to ship you some beer from the big KY lol I’d like to enter the giveaway as well and pick the green gem ring!

[@bigstackD]

No worries at all buddy. I get alot of people from the states want to send me beer but it’s easier and a hell of a lot cheaper if they just donate a few dollars and when I’m at my local liquor store I can grab one or two of what the person wants to send. They’ll just need to check that it’s available at my local ‘Dan Murphys Bunbury’ store before they let me know the name or donate any money. And I’ll usually grab their email and give them a thumbs up picture holding the beer in the shed or with the boys so they know I didn’t waste it on silly fruits or salad😁👍🏻

[@508Magnets]

great job fixing up the furnace! i would have to say that the growling direwolf ring is my favorite

[@Smith.S.E.]

Wow. I havnt been watching much KZbin lately, that treasure room is a huge upgrade from the old shelf! Great stuff as always big man

[@xyzabc4574]

I wish I could upvote twice for the furnace maintenance. This is a GREAT video that I wish I had when I was setting up my first devil forge.

[@anonymousmouse2889]

Ahh, exactly the same RCBS mold i had for casting lead and zinc ingots. They worked good, pretty easy release without any parting dust.

[@nathanwright8598]

Great video. I love restorations. Pretty much any of the Viking rings were awesome.

[@DigemDeep]

Tumbling your brass in a crushed walnut medium will clean it up a lot and may eliminate much of the slag. Folks like myself who reload cartridges like the ones you are melting do that to restore them to a new look. I use an old motorized ice cream maker that I tilt 45 degrees to keep the brass and medium from spilling out. The walnut medium seems to last forever.

[@unclecheese3388]

great vid as always, it ain't friday without BigstackD and the boys! my fave ring is the Gothic Tribute Gem with the black stone. SO cool. Much love and good luck everyone!

[@katieturner2761]

We love watching what you will be melting each Friday!!! Enjoy your shows.

[@juliewardman7520]

I had no idea re-lining a furnace was so fascinating! Thank you for that. And the jewellery on the gthic site is amazing. Choosing one would be tough but I think the Rudder Stainless Steel Leather Marine Bracelet would be perfect for me in Scarborough with its rich marine heritage....although it is a Viking town so....who knows!

[@gfy4dsny]

Love what you do. I never miss a week. Can't wait to see the new melt space. For the giveaway I'm drooling on that volcanic rock stainless skull bracelet.

[@cristyvaughn3178]

Loved this melt! Have a large 5gal pail of casings to do myself. These videos help me make sure I do it correctly. My favorite ring from the site is the Freemasonry spinner ring. My grandfather was a mason so I always find anything with their symbols intriguing. Love your videos!

[@heresy_fnord]

I've been waiting for the forge resto vid. You've done a lot of work to the new place and it's looking fantastic. Still loving to see Ingot and Bullion are getting their lovin'. 99 kilos to go!!! The Black Turquoise Patterned Stainless ring on the website is pretty damn sick.

[@Baphonet000]

It is always a pleasure to see someone do things well and you are certainly one of them. You even take the time to warn about scammers and care about the people who participate in the giveaway. Congrats on the well done work Without a doubt, for me, the best ring is the one with the futhark compass. I love vegvisir!

[@exidy-yt]

Wow, I thought you would NEVER get around to re-lining that furnace, but I certainly didn't expect the full makeover job. Well done, it looks fantastic! Can't wait till it's re-virgin melting!

[@fit_father_4568]

So many many great pieces, but that Indian Warrior Bear Head is 🔥 What amazing work! That tribal chief stainless is definitely a must have as well. Fairly new to the page. Thanks for the awesome content brother 🙏

[@spacecoaststacker8448]

That forge cleaned up nicely! I think the Viking stuff looks pretty nice. Hopefully you got some new custom 3D printed pieces ready for sand casting soon.

[@xylusirl1527]

I love the coiled snake Steel ring. I love things that look a bit different and I'm into the natural vibe!

[@rebizzle2149]

It's so cool to see how you give your furnace a new lease on life! My personal fave from the website is the classic Celtic bracelet with the double leather braided cords.

[@jamesh5460]

The gas / smoke coming out of the forge was very cool. Awesome effect from the heat.

[@fshagadelly]

Glad I got to see you restore the furnace. I've been waiting for that! I like the Anchor Compass Marune Ring

[@Matt-zf7vz]

Watching your videos is so so so relaxing. Such an inspiration to the artists out here. The humor you include is well placed without saying a word. Your pups always bring a smile, please give them an extra scratch behind the ears for me. THANK YOU ! ! ! Cheers & ears my friend keep up the great videos. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@xWaffyxx]

Watching the restoration on the furnace wants me to get into smelting so bad. Always love the great content! The Simple Cross Stainless Steel Decompression Spinner Ring in black is a simple but very nice-looking ring.

[@SangosEvilTwin]

Love seeing the furnace maintenance! Will definitely be a help if I ever get one for myself. As for the giveaway, it's a tough call for me between the dragon bones whip bracelet and the Viking crow head bracelet. I'd be super thrilled to get either.

[@mikeockler7121]

The cool dragon claw stainless ring is SIIIICK!! Man there's so many awesome rings on this site! Thanks for the content, brother!

[@MichaelTemplar2]

Seeing the rebuild of the furnace was cool to see. For such few parts it pumps outs amazing melts week after week. I'd have to say AC tiger stone bracelet or any off the spinner rings. Oh the plaque doc mask is kinda sweet to. But any thing with runes is gonna be a winner. Keep er lit big man lovin the content

[@thenightone]

I loved seeing the forge restoration, very interesting. As far as favorite ring on the site, would have to say the Dragon Spine ring is my favorite. Intricate without being overbearing.

[@hikmetbensusan7795]

Thank you for all of the great content, and congrats on the new place

[@zchats]

This makes me want to never melt bass casings lol but I love watching you do it! What a task. Great job on the furnace restoration too.

[@MechDad77]

Happy late turkey day BigstackD.. I love everything you make but I have to say the claw skull ring is one of my favorites . As well as the red lines viking ring. Love your videos keep up the amazing work .

[@DavidD-lr4dk]

I never miss a Friday video, Love em. Love the new place. I can imagine how peacefull it is compared to the city noises. I used the link to go enter the contest, but I'm old and get confused pretty easy. LOL I'm still loving my Devils Forge. I poured just a little bit yesterday because I can't go to long without melting something. It works so good, and molten copper is just so danged cool looking. In the way of your jewelry, I have to say the chain link bracelets, and any wolf jewelry. From Montana ya know. Wolf country. Keep up the melts and stay safe.

[@geoffdahl696]

I found your channel about 2 months ago and watch every friday (except these last 2 weeks as I was away) its a great way to end a week
