Hey there once again all you beautiful People ? I hope you've had an amazing week. Absolutely terrible weather over here raining pretty much the entire time I tried to melt but after six or seven melts if I remember correctly in this weeks video, we finally got there. Another awesome addition to my favourites shelf as you'll see at the end of the video, a great Indiana Jones idol coin made from zinc. A few dumpsters I went through and definitely got some trash to treasure on this lot. All the Copper cable came out of a domestic rubbish bin so that stuff was going to be buried in landfill so I'm glad I saved it from that. A lot of melts and a lot of fun even if the weather was terrible in today's video so sit back enjoy and I hope to see you next Friday where I'm thinking I'll do a update on the full stack value as well as a heap of metal melting as usual. Anyway, enough of me writing this novel, take care and see you all soon. Hey, and if you want a midweek melt, let me know and I'll see what I can do👊🏻😁.

Howdy from America! Thanks. I was just going back through some of your older videos because I figured it was too early, but apparently I'm right on time. Edit: coming back to answer your video question. I'm between jobs because my family is about to move. I'll get a new job when we settle into the new house. And I think I'll go back to school and finish my STEM degree. It's itching at me still that I haven't finished it.

Probably would be a good idea to take a magnet along when looking for something to melt. Maybe just keep one in the glove compartment just in case.😉

I wouldn't mind watching a shorter Midweek melt ( 30 minutes or so ) either way it's the Friday start the long weekend melt I look forward to! Those pups are living the life! I'm medically retired though I am at retirement age now, I have about the same amount of titanium in my back as you have from the copper melt. I asked for bionics, but US heath insurance you know.... Watching the water hit the boilng point and a touch over was oddly satisfying!! Have a great weekend everyone!

I’ll tell you Man on the weekend I reckon we got 20 hours of rain. It was absolutely crazy. Luckily I’m on a small hill or would be in a bit trouble. The land around here is basically clay so it doesn’t absorb water very well at all. Means it’s very wet in winter and in summer It’s as hard as concrete and likes to crack when it dries out, at least in summer of the bloody parrots bugger off 👊🏻😁.

But ya, I’ve been watching your videos since way before you moved in your old house. I’ve been watching for probably close to 10 years now!

I’m gonna put a poll out tomorrow or the next day and see if anyone wants an midweek melt this week. It won’t be anything long just 10 or 11 minutes I’m thinking maybe make a heap of Copper pieces for the safe👍🏻 Anyway buddy, I’ll let you go and I’ll catch up with you another time. Take care 👊🏻😁.
