VERY nice vid! I was scrolling through a list of brass casting videos, and very glad I picked this to watch for my evening entertainment tonight! Appreciated seeing the different 'raw materials' you used. I pick up brass when it presents itself, also copper, and would like to start casting ingots at some point. I am retiring from my job in early 2019 and will have a Lot more time for fun stuff then! Also appreciated your replies to commenters re: the various grits you used to get that bar so very perfect, the composition of the spoon you used, etc. I've collected quite a bit of brass connectors and parts, bullet casings, also "micro-scrap" plug ends, electrical components - I should weigh it out sometime, but it all adds up, in any case. Thank you for these presentations! I appreciate you!

I never use Borax . Well I’ve maybe used it twice in my last 30 brass melts and as I’m always melting the dirtiest of the dirty scrap brass I’m forever skimming crap off aswell . I personally have never noticed a difference when melting my scrap and using Borax🤷🏻‍♂️but maybe once I start dipping into melting my clean ingots and bars I’ll try it again and maybe that’ll give me different results 🤔🤙🏻

This is insanely awesome! You should stamp 24k on the top or something... =) Some of those brass pieces look like those I dig up metal detecting every now & then... crusty as can be and a file is the only way to tell what material they are. I dug a solid brass threaded rod about 1.5" in diameter & 12" long this past summer... just about deafened me when I detected it. Thought it was lead at first due to the weight... hit it with a file & couldn't believe it was solid brass! If you wipe the polished brass with shellac, it'll keep that bright finish for a long time as the finish is invisible, but prevents air from getting at and tarnishing the metal. (I do this with my lathe tools all the time - works with steel as well as copper, brass, etc.

I've been watching your videos for some time. Every video I watch on how to build a Foundry it's only good for aluminum and such so of course I have to ask. How is yours made? I have so much brass just sitting in the corner of my reloading room because I just sweep up all the brass that is laying around when I go to the range even if I don't have the gun that uses the casing.

Gas bottle furnace kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6rRZXVni7upd6M Beer keg furnace kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3vdlmaGmpKoqaM New devil furnace kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGGui3qEl8SWhK8. Also if you were to purchase the devil forge similar to mine I would highly recommend getting the smaller burner aswell as then you can control the heat a bit easier when it comes to melting brass as you don’t wana over heat brass , the big burner it comes with is freaking way too powerful but perfect for copper and aluminium bronze , ive even melted cast iron with it 👍🏻

BigStackD - love your videos. I would like to know what brand and model of IR gun do you use as I noticed it goes above 800C (1400F+). Mine only gets that high which is fine for aluminum but not some of the higher melting point metals. I do have a bench thermometer that goes to I believe 1800F but have only got it to 1700F. I use a type K temp probe to measure the heat of the furnace. I would like to get an Ir gun like yours to measure the metal in the crucible.

Man has a hobby. An a lot of time on his hands. Nice collection copper, brass and lead. Needs to take time rebuilding his smelter waste of heat even for a hobby and pushing that we should recycle. Making a full size twenty five gallon smelter. The one you have waste heat that could seed up the smelting process if it held the heat a bit better. But you are a brave nut to be working with dangerous conditions. Please be careful. You are handling projects that are above the level of the tools you presently have. Using a short slag spong to remove slag at that distances with those gloves. I'm not sure you are the braves man I have ever seen or the craziest.

Yes my friend I understand your concern and I could do with an upgrade on my safety equipment I really need to stand back when removing slag and adding things to the Crucible.

I have a full face shield and industrial respirator I just need to upgrade on my gloves and some tools. Yes you are right I seriously need to consider rebuilding my furnace properly that’s for sure👍🏻

What is the LxWxH of your ingot mold, looks like u used a U angle and welded 2 flat pieces, on each side. Did u weld on the inside. i would like to make one for myself. Tired of using muffin pan.

Yes I used steel U channel bar I cut the ends on an angle to give the gold bar look and welded some steel flat bar on the ends . The base of the mold is as follows 135mm x 60mm The top opening of the mold is 150mm x 70mm. I bent the sides of the U channel bar out before welding and all welding was done on the outside so is not to show up on the ingot. If you live in Australia I can send you some close-up photos but unfortunately if you’re in the states I can’t send pictures through my phone and I have no other social platform apart from KZbin to share things😉👍🏻

Is your crucible an old gas bottle with fire bricks in it? I have a steel bucket with plaster in it but it takes way to long to dry and doesn’t last very long.

Just to heat it quicker but with the new furnaces I use I don’t do that as they are way too fast to melt metals 👌🏻😁

Nice gold bar :) 42 C outside is really hot! Today we had from 0 to +2 and it's enough warm weather for December :) Good idea to use "100 bucks" to start your furnace. When you're making a gold bar you can't use anything else except $100 :):):)

Get a mineral oil bucket for the steel mold. When it is still red hot like that quench it in the oil to retain its strength and prevent fracture

Hey buddy ita me again. Iv just got a propane burner and bottle with some gas in. It does work but i want to be sure im doing it all correctly and you seem to be the guy to talk to. I can get it lit and fired up however do i turn it off at the burner itself or at the bottle as iv heard it should be done at the bottle ? Whats your advice buddy. It would be nice if you could do a small tutorial on how you light your burner. Achieve the rite flame for smelting and then shutting it off.

Here’s a link for the burner I use he does a tutorial for the burner. Also I always turn the gas off at the bottle as I never like to leave any gas or pressure in the line 👍🏻. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6enq2t3hZd4brM
