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.

Copper Bullion From Scrap - Total Transformation - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure- BigStackD

[@bigstackD]

Welcome back again all you awesome subscribers I hope you have had an absolute marvellous week. Today a great transformation from something so ugly to something so nice. Not the biggest haul but certainly a fun few bars to do , I hope you enjoy it either way. Sit back relax enjoy the video and most importantly as I always say, have a happy safe weekend and hope to see you all next Friday 👋🏻😁

[@rainaflores779]

Amazing pour and as usual BigstackD is the BOSS.

[@TheWabbit]

Copper was looking great as always, brass is ok but nothing beats a shiny copper bar....except maybe Gold. Have a great weekend!

[@rolandovera3562]

Hola que tal saludos desde buenos Aires argentina, quisiera tener un fundidora como ese

[@BillMulholland1]

Hey D!! Great video as always. If you do get a shredder, get one with 2 motors. Trust me. PS, the whistling in the background is distracting 😂 I keep thinking someone is around me🤣.. cheers buddy. Hope you and the family have a great weekend as well. See you next week 🤝🍻👍

[@vincedibona4687]

I’d like to see some more coins and molded castings, but I do think I enjoy the teardowns of the equipment about as much as the melts and pours. Pretty sure I ain’t the only one who digs the longer format you’ve lately adopted. All good stuff, D. Give the pups pets and skritches, as always!

[@calebrp02]

The deconstruction is my favorite part of any Bigstackd video

[@robertosaavedra7527]

Para mí debe ser un viejo lesbi@no 😂

[@VesperCadha]

ofc yes! I learn about the structure of the device... then there is a hammer blow, but at least I see something. :) ​

[@waynelevi5053]

For me it I'd the slag extract and metal pour.

[@Luzeon]

That little tiny knife is hilarious…I want one 😂

[@Klingon2468]

4 things to say today, 1 I like the brass bar best, 2 the scrap storage area looks great, 3 so still not got that vice connected to the bench and 4 I hate flathead screws aswell they are hateful things. Excellent video again this week, thank you. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@exsappermadman25055]

Flat head screws are only useful as a kid when you have no tools and can open or close them up with a butterknife, "these knives can't even cut bread anymore!"...

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

Such precise and delacate plastic removal. Truly your skills are unmatched.

[@evyats9127]

The markings of the metal on the bars are beautiful

[@trapjohnson]

That petrobond sequence was a PERFECT recreation of the speed of my thoughts when I am trying and failing to sleep while utterly exhausted.

[@DjmMik]

Little Ingot had some major spring in his step. Nice melt 👍🏻

[@bigstackD]

You got that right buddy , it’s very rare Ingot is in turbo mode this early in the morning, it usually takes him till lunchtime to get his zoomies on , and then that’s only for three minutes and he’s back to sleep for a few hours. Thanks again for super thanks buddy you’re an absolute champion. Have a great weekend buddy and I’ll speak with you soon👊🏻😁.

[@Firstordertrooper]

For a scoop for slag I use a large metal stir spoon you can probably find them at local supermarkets, awesome bars today! 🍻👍

[@SollersSrappingandDiving]

Just when I thought I knew all the tools I needed in my life, you show me another one!! Opening the tank made me chuckle!🧸 Tough question as I love brassy goodness but I'm a copper girl so I'll have to say the copper bars but the finishes were stunning on them all!! The drawing on the side of your fridge was very cute too🐾 Also loving the scrap storage👌, could do with some of that space 😂

[@Youspoonybard1]

Hi friend, I don’t comment often but I saw you comment a week ago about everything you’ve gone through. I hope you’re doing ok all things considered. Much love from some stranger on the internet.

[@SollersSrappingandDiving]

@@Youspoonybard1 it's really lovely of you to send that, thank you, whoever you are and wherever you may be💜

[@mikebarton3218]

I have watched every single one of your videos. They air at about half past nine in the UK so after I have gone shopping and done my errands I sit down with my two black Labradors and we watch from beginning to end. Thanks for putting out such consistent content. Cheers 🍻

[@62239mikec]

Great video as always. I prefer the copper bar because of working with it before. Expecting a large snow storm today in Missouri . A great weekend awaits us, let's go !

[@medicbabe2ID]

I'm your neighbor in Indiana and waiting for the festivities to begin ❄️

[@tinydancer7426]

Send some of the snow to Maryland, will ya? Last weekend we got gypped. I think I saw a total of 5 snowflakes mixed in with the rain.

[@LordandGodofYouTube]

This is the first time I have watched since you blew past the 1000-kgs goal. I thought at 1000 kgs you might cash your bars, show us how rich you are from cashing in, and how you are moving on to bigger and better things while making a life-sized statue of Ernie Dingo, but nae, you just made my blue balls bluer.

[@kevinchaddock8557]

Here in Cali, I look forward to these videos every Friday morning. I'm not sure why I'm so addicted. I don't work in metal, never thought about it, just ran across your videos one day (almost a year now) and I was hooked. My wife thinks I'm crazy, I say it's a calming way to start my weekend. Great video, but I'm wondering if all the 10mm got away, haven't seen them in awhile. Oh, I like the brass, it's always one of my favorite melts along with the Nordic Gold.

[@paulseidel5819]

I like the copper no slag and an essential element for life and industry. Nice fence too.

[@michealfarley9423]

Don't fill it too quickly 😂😁😂😁 you mean it not already? Keep up the great shiney content!! And the happy puppers!!!

[@GrumpyHarleyRider]

Nice little melt today Big D! The copper and brass bars both look good in their own way. Have yourself an awesome weekend brother. 🍺

[@bigstackD]

Cheers buddy, thanks again my friend. Have a great break and catch you when you get back 👊🏻😁

[@neila2953]

The heating elements are normally made from inconel or incoloy, very high heat resistant material. Great videos 👍

[@bigstackD]

Thanks for the info!

[@ryanglidden2051]

Everything adds up even that little brass. Overtime in a glass jar it will become one day a melt saving those little pieces. Always a good habit to have. Never leave anything behind. 🍻

[@user-yp1eo8dd1y]

Не перестаю следить за каналом не менее двух лет ! Работа с горячим металом завораживает. 🫶

[@fareast_bricks6456]

Я смотрю уже лет 5. Вроде одно и то же, но все равно залипательно..

[@williammaxwell1919]

Nice "pettite" melt! Loved the patina on the tank... but sadly, all good things must come to an end.

[@firepinto]

I liked brass, though I wear copper stuff. Since learning about Nordic Gold on this channel, it is my new favorite. 👍

[@OMNIDON2000]

BigstackD, is it nearly as relaxing to do this, as it is to watch this?😸

[@madelienet8588]

A great traditional part of my Friday evening here in New Zealand to watch your awesome videos. I have watched you for many years and I absolutely love it all, Thankyou From a subscriber across the pond

[@jamesb1717]

That coin was a great cast. Got to be pleased with that. 👍

[@ChrisPelletier73]

Thanks Mr Heighway! Yay Friday! it’s currently -35C in Calgary….i need some Western Australia! Damn that tiny knife made me chuckle!

[@ShannonMD306]

Love watching the videos. It is 2 am in Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦 when you release them.

[@foxfirecasting3702]

Go Canada! BC here!

[@travismorton9857]

Alberta here.

[@ShannonMD306]

@@travismorton9857 Surviving the cold? -51 in my town today.

[@bwaldo1]

Really digging those periodic table bars.

[@Ziangal]

Good 1:37am, good to see ya D, love watching these copper melts. Enjoy your weekend.

[@ocupmoc]

you went oldschool today with the ice crushing and residue collection, love it! BTW very gentle removing of the plastic 😁 Always love to see you work 🤘👍

[@bear1245]

I’d have watched a fence build vid 👍🏻

[@grantlouw3182]

Nice polish on the ingots, great work on the fence and good to see nice healthy snacks for monkeys!

[@d4rk0v3]

A cool thought. All of those bars of metal you're forming, every last one of them, are made of material forged in the cores of stars. In essence, you have a room with more than 1,000kgs of condensed stellar fusion byproduct.

[@canonicaltom]

I definitely prefer the copper over the brass. Also that coin really did turn out nice.

[@OMNIDON2000]

Truly, the Metals Maven, of our time! Keep stacking!

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Sackboy and a cold beer?? Inside the tank???? Heh heh heh heh!!!! Nice!

[@bigstackD]

I know right !! Who would’ve thought ?

[@joelepack938]

I love the orange colour of the hot metal when you pour it. Very cool!

[@timsmith9645]

Awesome video nice copper and brass bar's and zinc coins thanks for sharing bigstackd

[@jubba90able]

I’ve always loved them little bars for some reason. Just the way they shine when they are mirrored really fascinates me

[@snezzles278]

brass melts are becoming my favorite

[@visualartsbyjr2464]

Copper be my favourite. More so before you brush it… love the red tint.

[@normajeancaballero7959]

I think I enjoy watching you disassemble the item more than watching you melt the metals. Either way, your videos never disappoint.👍🎦👍

[@grngrss265]

As I sit here and watch this, its 101° warmer there.

[@gene_takovic57]

That scrap storage will be nice to have. Keep the big stuff ready to go for future videos.

[@Ms11chris11]

Love my Friday morning video , Great watch as always. I love that little knife , that little guy is awesome.

[@Zyrukie4300]

A day late and a dollar short is what I would have said if I was here two days ago. Here I am three days later than usual. Keep up the great content and be blessed and be encouraged !

[@michealklonowski5267]

nice copper and brass pours the zinc coin came out nice.

[@danielcarter305]

You always have very interesting thumbnais for your videos. Sometimes, I get confused and think there are thumbnails for something else.

[@Doppelganger333]

Copper bars look really 👍🏼 cool 😎

[@Sharlenwar]

Man, I wish I could do this. It's a matter of where and how when I'm stuck living in condos. Thanks for the content!

[@OMNIDON2000]

Beautiful pours!

[@donlandenberg8126]

Always a pleasure to see what you're cooking up next.

[@jasonsummit1885]

Glad you uploaded, it's too cold to go outside here. Our high temperature was -5.5°C.😂

[@robk1310]

One thing I don’t remember seeing you make, is a bunch of red brass bars. I’d really like to see that. And a comparison of red brass bars with copper bars and yellow brass bars.

[@OMNIDON2000]

Me too.😊

[@martinedwards4522]

love copper!, my favorite semiprecious metal

[@nobodyknowsforsure]

2024 looks like a year of great melts. @11:22 - Nightmare fuel 😆

[@WestBasketball]

I used to design cartridge heaters - thats most likely 304 stainless or incoloy depending on how cheap they went. The white powder is MgO. It is generally swaged with the heating element in tbe middle, and then bent to shape. They sometimes come with brass pipe fittings on the end so look out :)

[@crlawrence6359]

Gotta love that new furnace smell 😍

[@jamespierce7723]

I enjoy the tear down damn near as much as the melt . Thanks for great entertainment .

[@larrymullenax8990]

Storage area is going to be nice, good job

[@shermantripp5246]

That's a cool new toy stackd always enjoys a good copper meltdown in the morning keep the vids coming and have an amazing weekend 😊

[@josephcormier5974]

Thank you for once again sharing an incredible video with us we enjoyed this emensly and look forward to every Friday six stars brother

[@locolunch]

A new furnace, an ice melt, copper freezing. What a year so far!

[@jeremywilliams1835]

Putting the beer bottle top on sack boy was perfect

[@killjoy987987]

The key to storing scrap is organization,bulky stuff takes up a lot of space

[@animered1986]

Have you ever picked up your packages dressed-up in the face paint? Or had a delivery when your painted like that? It looks awesome. It's always a pleasure to see that face paint. Its really cold where i live - wind chill added its -46C here with a high of -20C in the afternoon + 60CM of snow. I bet the heat is not so bad now

[@djveloxity9488]

By far the best content I’ve ever seen. Your my favorite and I can’t wait till next Friday! Cheers and have a good weekend

[@LILMAW131XAMLIL]

Thanks for another AWESOME video!

[@AnthonySmith-hr2kp]

I thought the coin turned out pretty cool. Love the copper, but the brass turned out nice too.

[@michalledick8281]

Beautiful video this week. Copper bars polished is my preference, Thanks for a brief mind vacation. See you next week.

[@claywest9528]

I like copper the best, but brass is nice too!

[@LucillenRory]

I usually catch your videos straight away but not this time.. Great video as always - and i have to say i just love that tiny little knife.

[@DiscordC]

What is a water heater element made of? Water Heater Elements 101 An element is the part of the water heater that physically heats the water. They typically have a black, blue, or silver threaded head and are composed of stainless steel, copper, or incoloy, these are high temperature and have a mush higher melting point, much higher then your forges are capable of.

[@brandonobaza8610]

Bronze, I'm guessing? 😁 By the thumbnail, I thought you discovered some rare metallic form of Bromine.

[@Mrshoujo]

The "waste" slag from your melts are abrasive oxides and if you had the means, you could pulverize them into sandy particles & make abrasive sandpaper with it & even at different grits. Just an idea.

[@rickypsencik5947]

Awesome video again and enjoy the warm weather, we here in Texas have a Blue Northern coming this weekend with lows in the lower teens to upper single digits, maybe. 😊🌬

[@508outdoorcooking]

i love this show i always watch till the end ❤❤😍😍👌👌

[@derkrebskandidat8911]

Kupfer ist so ein wunderschönes Metall...besonders auf Hochglanz poliert...oder in flüssiger Form

[@7thsluglord363]

Some day I hope to get a melting crucible and make my own bars. Always enjoy these videos.

[@prinzandyvonheidelberg4812]

The American Coin is wonderfull! And The Brass is perfect!

[@konstantinpobedonotsev5589]

Love seeing even the dust collected and saved!

[@jasonbenoit2277]

love the periodic inscriptions and the side view of the ice melting. I thought you would drop off the steel, instead of making a shed to house it......please drop off...please :)

[@bigstackD]

Don’t stress buddy, the steel I won’t be housing for long. I will probably wait another month and then get rid of it depending on how much I have there. I don’t plan on housing the steel for very long at all. I just want to save up about 500 kg and drop it off at the scrap yard, which I will film. The scrap storage area is more for all the pieces that I’m going to take apart at a later date and not steel on its own👊🏻😁

[@benthejrporter]

That's one of your best ice quenches ever. I didn't know copper turned black when it was hot, after it cooled from glowing temperatures, until I watched this channel.

[@snipersquad100]

You should make a vibrating plate for those coin moulds.

[@TheRch123185]

Copper bar by far. It’s the best looking metal whether it’s polished or out of the ice.

[@IAmGeeSnap]

funny how i didn't notice the deterioration of the old furnace until there was a side by side of the old and the new wow what a difference yes yes you do need a shredder i concur release the kraken i mean funding immediately lots of interesting camera angles today :@) loved the up close shots of the dirty lil stripper lol nice job on your storage area build anvil overkill lol everything came out great but i preferred the brass today

[@andrewrossi7164]

Both bars are great, but I prefer the copper, great work mate 👍

[@Only1Shadow]

Heating elements are typically stainless (or possibly Inconel but that's expensive) cladding around ceramic insulation and the actual heating conductor would be a Nickel-Chromium alloy

[@KuulSHep]

Hope you melt the Mixed Dust and Mixed Slag now that the jars are full in your next video.😉

Nice copper and brass bars mate 💪🏻. The heat is tremendous there, here in Argentina we are exactly the same and on top of that we have been hard storms in a large part of the country that has caused flooding and destruction, luckily there was none of that where I live. I have so much material to melt but I am still looking for a foundry and the necessary elements. Big hug from Argentina 🇦🇷👋🏻💪🏻
