At 15:40 when you stepped up to the bucket, I expected to hear a zipper unzip, then pour the water in 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great video brother!!! The bar looks great!!!

Awesome brass brick brother! (Try saying that 5 times fast 🤣) In all honesty, I hardly use borax on brass for the sole reason that it is an alloy, I have no idea if it matters or not, just my own preference. Love the bottom side finish, how long did the cleanup take from start to finish? Great job brother as always! 🙂👊🏼👍🏼🍻

[@SJWCASTING]

Thanks brother! 🤣. I bought the bucket, I’m using it😂. Don’t know either if it helps a lot. Thanks man! I think about an hour of work, I took my time on it😉. Thanks brother😃 and thank you for watching!!👊🏻🍻

[@Scrap2Cast]

@@SJWCASTING I’m sure it helps, just don’t use too much of it especially with copper. Makes the copper look discolored from my experience. It also clings to the crucible. I never clean my crucibles as that’s just material left for the next melt. That and I’m a lazy caster 🤣. Good show my man, keep the vids coming!

[@SJWCASTING]

Oh no, I’m never using it for copper no more😅. I know, shit’s tough🤣. Haha, I try to keep the crucibles as clean as possible 😉. Haha🤣. Thanks bud! I will😁

[@ktc3619]

I like this so much. I hope i have the time this year to start it by myself to produce ingots. I collected round about 800 kg on copper wire over the last ten years .... what do you think how long it need to mold it 😬

[@SJWCASTING]

I’m glad you like it😁. What!!! 800KG!!!😱 I’m jealous!! It depends on how much you can melt everyday for the next year😂. Is it all stripped?

[@ktc3619]

@@SJWCASTING yes of course 😉 The Last 250 kg i get from a wrecked 6meter long cnc mill It taked me over one year to strip all the wires ....

[@SJWCASTING]

@@ktc3619 damn😅. I thought I had lots of wire🤣. So you plan to make it all into ingots?

[@ktc3619]

@@SJWCASTING Sure I think so. My zinc are in ingots, this was eine kn a fire barrel an i have 105 of them but it is not enough for copper

[@SJWCASTING]

Oh wow😯. Keep me updated when you start melting the copper😁.

[@rafalkrawczyk1426]

Dont like brass but movie is nice ;)

[@SJWCASTING]

You don’t like brass?😱 how come? Thank you!😁

[@donl4914]

I already said it. Nice Ingot!!! More for the stack!!! Not a lot of shrinkage!! but again it's Messy Brass... 😆😆🔥🔥 Time to fix that scoop!!! Add some handle to it. 🥄

[@SJWCASTING]

Thanks brother!! Oh yeah, almost 400KG😁. No indeed, haven’t thought of that!!! I know, thinking of making one myself😁.
