Dumpster Diving Huge Copper Haul - Trash To Treasure - ASMR Metal Melting - BigStackD Copper Casting

Hello you awesome people out there in KZbin land how are you all today? Now a lot of people will probably think these pieces i find were planted but i can assure you this was just a great find. Like i say in the video i just cant understand why anyone would throw this cable out??? Well it worked out for me as i had an awesome huge bar to add to the collection and i had fun melting and pouring as Copper when heated enough will pour like water . Now if only i could Figure out how to get rid of the holes i would be happy. Ive tried super heating the mold , Having a flame on the copper while pouring , Pouring on a vibrating mold etc . Oh well not to worry i love all the bars i make . I hope you all enjoy the video and have a great weekend and ill see you all next friday for some Sand Casting Swarf . If you don’t want the Merch but still want to support the channel Simply donate some of your time to help support the channel just by allowing the ads to play through this will help out a lot and that’s how I make a bit extra revenue and the good thing is more revenue means more giveaways👊🏻😄.

HOW TO 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??????.

[@bigstackD]

Hey there all you beautiful people how are you all today? Doing great I hope. Today is one of the simpler melts where I go through a dumpster after a heap of work was done on a local site and honestly when you see what I find you’ll think this was a setup but I can assure you I had no idea this was there. The good thing is I made a nice big bar that’s a very welcome addition to the stack, to sit back and check it out let me know what you think in the comments and have an awesome week . I’ll be doing a couple of sand casting pieces next Friday so hopefully I’ll see you all then😁👋🏻

Reminds me of bad old days when I used to work at a warehouse, full with cables. The parent company would tear down buildings and bring tons upon tons of old electric cables, engines/turbines/electric stations and piping to our warehouse. We'd strip them down, prepare, bag and sell them. We used machines like one at 2:03, or/and something that was put together by ourselves. In this video, cables are cleaner then baby's ass, but what I used to work with, was devil's outhouse itself: cable layers (rubber, in between strands, coatings) were basically glued together with some kind of thick, dark, dirty lube that was sticky as hell. Add dirt in a mix and you'd be so dirty by the end of the shift, that your overalls would be gleaming in the light and almost hard as metal sheets. You can imagine how much stuff there were in old soviet buildings that were being demolished. Our company would get nice profit. Tons upon tons of copper, aluminum, lead, steel (cables were wrapped in thin steel sheet, we had to manually unwrap hundreds of meters of them), even some brass stuff. Add -20℃ or +27℃ during the year in that warehouse, low wages, useless and angry bosses and you get a recipe for work related depression :D It ended when owners of demolishable buildings realized they should take out cables themselves, before selling the whole object to our parent company... I do sh*t work today as well, but it is MILES better then stuff back then. I'm now a stage technician at a local opera (lots of manual labor to load, unload and build show decorations) and I even get an occasional small, utility roles during theatrical shows. I'd say nice change of pace, LOL. Thanks for a video, and cudos to those who read my blabblering. Just felt like sharing. P.S. The "Dogfather" shirts made my day.

@@mattbanks3517 you know there are reasons why we use copper instead. Yes conductivity wise aluminum is just short of copper and can replace copper in situations. But the material properties of aluminum is far inferior compared to copper, it is more brittle which makes it hard to use thinner Al conductors. It expands more than copper under heat which causes problems in homes built in the 60's as Al wires would get loose over time. However aluminum is used often in thicker gauge wiring as it's far more economical compared to copper and theres less concerns regarding the aforementioned problems.

It’s interesting how the copper is heated so much that copper ions fly off and make the fire a different color

[@sixtolavalle343]

It’s crazy how immediately it happens too

[@lorenzostransportvlogs]

it's to do with the electrons. when you add heat, they get 'excited', so they gain energy and jump up energy levels within the atom. because that state is unstable, the electrons jump back down to their ground state, which releases the excess energy as photons, which results in the flame changing colour. copper's normally a green-blue colour in the flame test. hard to see here, but at around 6:00 you can kind of make out the greenish colour. also, they have machines that show the full spectrum of the frequency of light each individual electron releases, it's pretty cool stuff

[@jamieyork3874]

Nerd

[@logancook5261]

Copper is a very cool element

[@MinecrafterRedstoner]

@@lorenzostransportvlogs And to add on top of that, the amount of electrons and the quantum level that they're at will make the colour vary. That's why a copper flame is not the same colour as a strontium flame, because their electrons quantum level aren't the same (valence), so the energy to excite the electron from these two metals is not the same, thus the different colour. The more energy it takes to excite the electron, the more the colour of the flame goes to blue, and vice versa for red (see the spectrum for reference). You can actually guess the colour by the quantum number of the valence electrons of the element. The lower the quantum number, the higher the energy, because the electrons are closer to the nucleus, thus harder to excite (more energy required), explaining why strontium is generaly red and copper more on the green side!

most satisfying ice block melt yet!

[@cg_xiii]

The ice block scene did it for me.

[@serenitykitten1726]

I love how nearly every video we get to see the doggos.

Those socks, your dogs, the unicorn notebook ily.

The best melt through ice yet. Love it.

Going to be honest. I thought copper would have been worth more than it is. I learnt something new today. Great video, super relaxing to be honest. For the first time, the YT algorithm suggested something great!

[@mkglocks1059]

Haha all his boxes are labelled with shit "sanding shit" and the other box just said "shit" been watching this guy for ages and always amazes me and love the content

[@fr33kSh0w2012]

well yeah in Australia we call stuff shit, WE say "this shit" "that shit" "other shit" or "Here's some other shit I forgot I had"

[@JasonBoxClimate]

score. I used to strip copper as a kid (dad was electrician)... good money~!

[@justRICHTOFEN]

When he first took out the cooper, I was like it must be cooled off right? Puts paper on it, instantly catches fire and melts. Me: ah

[@Kantizon]

Came looking for gold but I found something better. Thank you KZbin algorithm!

[@Neeverseen]

That was the coolest ice block action to this point.

[@pingerboy69]

That my friend was one lovely neat copper pour aye !!

[@kdtrimble]

Putting that hot ingot on top of the block of ice was very satisfying.

[@goldenpun5592]

I always thought that copper was very beautiful. the color and shine of it.

8:01 - coolest ice melt today! also commenting for YT algorithm.

[@mustardmyhero928]

I’m actually glad I watched this because I didn’t know that the wire brush bristles break off like that, thank you!

[@kdwaynec]

Yes, they go everywhere. I briefly worked at a place and had to wear my hooded sweat shirt one day because it was so cold. I was picking bristles out of it for days. I actually found one about a month later.

[@gmo4641]

Haha killer! The duff beer in the fridge 🤟

[@tragicx4075]

14:12 that is one strong shelf.

[@magmaapex3218]

I use to do this back in the good ole broke college student days except I would skip the whole melting it down part and just taking bags full of copper wire to shops and making some nice lil profit

[@yamamastes]

Yeah, same. Dad is an electrician so we always had wires around the house. If i remember correctly, our biggest haul was around 200 kg of pure copper wire.

[@abbemartensson3850]

They made a way bigger profit buying it cheap

[@captainoates7236]

Why would the scrap value of a bar be more than the bare wires?

[@1staryelpreview915]

@@captainoates7236 because it’s been processed a bit. They don’t have to mess with all the loose bits of copper as well. I’m not sure if this applies, I guess it depends, but it’s always cheaper to transport 1kg of copper in a bar vs 1kg of copper wire cause you can pack way more

[@lmaoroflcopter]

Most places won't accept melted down copper. I'm amazed this guy makes money doing it.

[@heights__3209]

Not sure why this popped up on my recommendation page but now I want more.

Great Video!! Bullion is almost the same size as Ingot !!! I love how they are with the metal!!

[@biski212]

I love the dogs so much, I always look forward to seeing them in the next video, keep up the great content 👍

[@kdwaynec]

I ran across a short clip of this on reddit. I thought the chunk of metal was iron. It polished up nicely, definitely not ugly!
