Lots of vids on making a melting furnace. It helps with storage and makes it economically worth it. Keep the dream alive.

[@madmattsbucketlist385]

Lots of people enjoy this. Melting and creating ingots or art. Yes expensive but if you enjoy it, then it's priceless to you. I remember watching a video about melting, i think it was aluminium cans. They worked out they had 40% dross waste. I assume that means the cleaner the ally the less dross. Good series of melting different metals. Question is.....what is next? Thanks both really enjoyed.

[@ratdetecting4780]

Nice one shaun..... don't lose the passion! The only problem with aluminium, is that you have to skim off the slag before pouring. Try getting lead out of bullet projectiles. Its a win win, as you get to recycle the copper too

[@josinora]

Enjoy watching the mini episodes. If you will do bullet picking, please use a bigger sieve, a bucket and a shovel and do not pick bullets by hands. Wear dust protection due to lead dust contermination. Best place to find is a shooting range ;-)

[@strangescience3414]

Love your sense of human😁thanks for sharing.

[@tonycstech]

This man: let's melt aluminum. Aluminum: let's melt some human.

[@federicogalvan686]

Hey guys sorry I haven't been watching your videos crazy times but I'm back awesome video like always I watch the other videos later you guys stay warm

[@irishgoldstacker8018]

That's absolutely amazing. I did not think that would work. Aluminium is very strong. Fantastic.

[@jodiyoung5578]

Keep doing what you have fun doing. Love to Cassie and William.

[@kiamthekiam6966]

Great attitude young man!!!!

[@mylarhyrule904]

A few firebricks could go a long way with this setup…. They really help raise the temp and also add a layer of safety!!

[@johnnyellis4987]

I enjoy watching theses videos iam going to try to melt brass copper and some other stuff thanks for the video

[@FlyToSardinia]

Hi, could you tell me how long does a 1 lt map gas bottle last?

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

awsome ;) now you need to melt tin and lead ;) awsome video

[@Freeisbetter86]

Good idea!

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

@@Freeisbetter86 ;) then the cirkel should be completed ;)

[@JohnnySwedishScrapper]

as a former instructor in sefldefens and combat, i know how to complete the cricel multi times, soon you are have done your last poor man melting ill do an video ;)

[@thebro5820]

Just discovered your channel. I like seeing this kind of video. I like know what just an open flame, no furnace, can do. I got two furnaces that I do various project with. Just never played with it.

[@mehowshorts]

Good job as always, Awesome video 👍👍

[@leadbadger9543]

It's not really the metal fumes you should worry about, it's more the plastic liner and the paint that gets added to pop cans. Nasty stuff. Nice project, and yeah, if it's fun its worth it. Also Al is not a metal found in nature so setting a block aside and/or saving it from the land fill might be a good thing.

[@Batman-lg2zj]

Actually aluminum is nature

[@leadbadger9543]

@@Batman-lg2zj don't 'well, actually ' until you do your homework, chin strap. Here is what you get with a quick Google Aluminum was born out of science. Aluminum isn't naturally found in the Earth's crust. It comes from bauxite, which has to be processed to get aluminum. What this means is that it required the efforts of chemists and engineers to bring it to life. The cap of the Washington monument is aluminum because it was the most precious metal of the time. You have a lot to learn before you go around looking for people to correct on the Internet. I expect a 4 page report on my desk by Monday on the history of and process of refining pure aluminum.

[@dutchlizardgaming7269]

I like your idea of "try and see" I subbed, can learn a lot from these! tnx man!! Keep rocking!! 1 question how did you make the nuggets? they look cool cheers from the Netherlands

[@JTBivens]

I plan to set up a small forge to run on wood and a bit of air flow. Not wanting to have to spend money on the fuel to melt it. I have a friend that passed away a few years ago. He would have loved this so much. Hate he is not around to play around with all of this with me.

[@timwerner7769]

Enjoyed the video. I too have started to melt metal in my foundry. Which is great for making ingots, bars and even smaller “muffins” from a muffin pan. But i have issues poring the right amount of aluminum in my coin molds. So i got a small crucible bowl with the small poring tongs and I’ll give that a whirl. It I can control exactly how much metal I use and have better control with my pours this way - then I should be pumping out these coins often. Thanks again for the inspiration!

[@GabrielMeneghetti]

Hi, how did you get that mini forge?

[@jc_hz4196]

Good job, I wanted to try this myself and saw this results in a good melt. I will try this but outdoors I don’t have a shop. Good video though.

[@goldiesincity8005]

I love your video's , your always so positive good energy , did you make that crucible or did you buy it and where .

[@genkidama7385]

i cant even afford that expensive-looking poor man's crucible. all i got is a lighter and a table spoon.

[@rubyboy99]

Is that a expensive blow torch? Mine is s s £20 one..

[@oldmate1695]

I’ll pay you $20.00 AUD to say aluminium the proper Australian way

[@PropGuru702]

Never! Aluminum is what's on the periodic table of elements. Y'all are savages lol I vote for the original spelling being alumium though lol 😆

[@oldmate1695]

@@PropGuru702 Were just trying to get by my man Skippy the bush kangaroo is the real savage

[@hajii124]

Let the tip of the flame hit the metal, pull your torch back some. The tip of the flame is the hottest part. Because its mixed with oxygen. The blue parts seem hotter but only because its pure gas, the tip of the flame is yellow or orange. Yes, but thats just due to the oxygen intake of it. Super helpful video though. Please keep it up! :)

[@Survivalist-of-war]

Do you have set up vid of the crucible?

[@SaintMysterio]

Thanks this help me alot

[@ungzheenedd2273]

Where do you get your crucible from?

[@androbolaareospace9602]

is it an pencil torch

[@MissCanadian]

Im glad it work for you good job

[@peacefulscrimp5183]

Great video 👍 If you ever wanted to make your own part , this is definitely worth your time, and the pop cans you see laying around on the ground are worth more than anything the recycling center will give you for them. 💥💲💵💚💵💲💥

[@ruebenmikoch]

That black stuff is aluminum oxide and other oxide and it won't melt with that torch. You just gotta scoop it out of there

[@112358miau]

Maybe I can melt aluminum in an "even-poorer-man" way to cast a ring im starting to sculpt on wax. Thanks!

[@Urthapunchline]

I WATCHED THIS VIDEO AND BOUGHT 5 TANKS AT 20 BUCKS EACH AND PROPANE IS HALF THE PRICE AND PROPANE BURNS AT 3060 degrees give or take Mapp gas burns at 3160 degrees give or take but over 3000 degrees is more than enough since aluminum melts at 1200 degrees great video and helped me lots but propane works just as good and not to one up this guy cause he’s cool but I’ll be making a video with descriptions of how to do it

[@joshgagnier]

I use that same torch but my aluminum turned to ash :/

[@davidlong5639]

Nice video 👌 how much u think that all weight?? Because doing work on scrap matter of the cash and change trust me I no I do this everyday

[@davidlong5639]

How much u think they weight out 2 on what u melt down

[@Freeisbetter86]

lol about a pound :)

[@ReactionTV6]

What was your room temperature

[@ralphmourik]

Next up: Zinc, Lead and Tin 😋👍👊

[@soapmouthproductions8954]

Lead will melt

[@possumandmeee]

Hmmm look like silver to me..will aluminum turn your finger green if you make a band out of it?

[@Freeisbetter86]

nope it doesnt tarnish like copper or brass :)

[@handduggraverdronline]

You can use butane
