Huge Horse Shoe Melt Down - Huge Aluminum Block - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure - BigStackD

My friend called me and said he had 40 Aluminum horse shoes to get rid of , He said I should melt them down into 1 big block so I thought why not . I melted them down into smaller ingots then got 2 furnaces going to make sure they were all molten when I tried out my new Mold. The biggest bar I've made but definitely not the heaviest . An awesome big mold but less than half the size of my biggest mold which I haven't tried yet . Now as usual sit back relax and enjoy todays video my friends.

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.

Is it weird that I was TOO excited when you revealed your new mold? And when you put it away, I was like, "AND HE'S GOT A BIGGER ONE!?" I legitimately felt genuine excitement!

[@andrewmorfett4192]

I would suggest - no, actually CONFIRM, - that you were not alone. I, ahem, also experienced a frisson of unexpected delight upon espying the second, unmentioned new mold. I, too, live in a state of suspended excitement for the day that that new item of equipment is unveiled to us all. A joyous day indeed awaits us all I suspect. Roll on. Roll on!

Interesting. I didn't even know horseshoes were made from aluminum. I've always seen 'em made out of steel so I was confused when this vid first began. But I did a quick google search and, I'll be darned, they do have aluminum shoes. Apparently they're more appropriate for less impact/lighter worked horses so like show horses and the like. Trail horses, ones that work on asphalt, etc need the heavier steel.

[@cruisinkruty4405]

race horses use aluminum shoes

[@l.mcmanus3983]

Apparently they can also be good to used during winter.

[@markfryer9880]

I learnt something new about horses today! Aluminium horse shoes.

[@nutgone100]

I’m glad you said it, you saved me a job. I remember watching the village blacksmith after school when I was a kid, he often shoed horses. I’m really not that old, this was in the 80s & the old forge closed down soon after. Probably one of the last in the area. Most farriers round here are mobile these days.

[@Zer0_._]

I have a whole mess of scrap copper wire I'm getting ready to mail to him. That giant mold would be awesome for it.

[@brucewright5061]

How about casting something you use all the time? A nice bottle opener. You will probably need to use aluminium bronze to get the strength for the device. I love seeing the pre-processing. I thought you would take out the nails first, but you surprised me by not. Keep up the good work, I look forward to your videos each week.

[@bigstackD]

yes mate I’ll be in my new shed in a few weeks and I got myself a nice hobby kiln so I’m definitely gonna start casting some more intricate pieces or useful pieces and not just bars and coins but apart from that nothing else will change everything will be the same they’ll still be all my usual bits and pieces usual dogs usual beers just a little bit more toys to use and make stuff with👊🏻😁!

[@webneko9842]

For anyone curious, if you do email him, he does send a ton of really helpful information for getting started, things to look out for, uncommon information, etc. He is a lot of fun to talk to. I love this new hobby and a large part of that is bigstackD and his videos.

[@captainjerk]

Big ol' block of alli today! Looks great M8! A horse wouldn't want to wear that as a shoe! Boys look healthy and happy! They certainly enjoyed the snack you gave them! The dog next door is envious! LMAO Thanx for a great vid D! :D

[@Mr.G69420Bro]

My brother, I have been melting for a few months now and finally have my technique down. This all came from watching your videos. I made a silver/copper mix today that looks absolutely beautiful. I cannot wait to polish it tomorrow.

Horseshoes (and horses that throw them) have been a bane of my existence, awesome to see Mr. StackD the anti-farrier inject some catharsis into my life on a Friday. Cheers, my friend!

[@Celebmacil]

Doing a custom 3D printed stackable "lego" block to sandcast a mold out of would be pretty neat. There's a variety of blocks, so you could decide what might be the most interesting size ones, but I'd think that 1x2 and 2x4 bricks would be pretty cool. And then over time with different materials cast with them, you could stack them and build something out of it in your hoard! It'd make for BigStackindeeD!

[@duckman5290]

Looking forward to all the brass casings being melted and poured into the bigger and longer mold you showed at the end. Prost :)

because of you bro i started melting 2 years ago. haven't got my sand casting down just perfect yet. The fact you waste nothing is commendable. If you wasn't so dang far away id send you a forged aluminum engine block to melt.

That's funny. I just brought 4 five gallon buckets of those up from Florida with me. Planed to melt them! 😍

Haha. An ingot so big the ice goes on it. A copper or brass ingot that size will be something to behold. I hope we'll see it someday.

Love your channel, thank you for all you do. Just have to comment on when you showed your outdoor temperature at 15 degrees C, perfect! Here in Canada it's currently 33 C, 41 with humidity..... ya, it gets that hot here as well. Anyways, keep up the great videos and as always, Cheers from Canada.

[@Wolf3685]

Just a tip, you better inspect primers and deprime thoses shell casings prior to a melt. You dont want any unexpected pops/bangs when you melt them down edit: Visually inspect them for any light strikes, because someone could have a light strike thinking it was a bad round, and just pull the bullet and dump the powder; then placed it in the brass bin. This has happened to me after policing brass at a range for reloading, and well I had an unexpected pop when I was depriming.

[@YzerWings]

BigStackD should have its own channel. Looks good!

[@RyanTaylor228]

Now it's time to make a HUGE copper one!!! Awesome video as always, I look forward to Friday mornings.

[@Talynwolf]

I'm excited to see more jumbo sized ingots from the new mold

[@richardchamblee965]

Would love to see another huge engine melt like the one you did a few months back, before you hit your one ton goal. And also, would love to see more bars from this mold, and the even bigger one you teased in the video. Maybe a Nordic gold shiny bar? Also, is it close enough to your goal to melt all the slag, powder, and extra castings to make the final push to the end? And, you gotta do all the raw stuff you have in your garage, like the brass bullet casings, etc. And, one last thing, when you hit your goal, would love to see a list, in the video or your pinned comment, of all the castings, and their values, along with a final tally of total value.

[@ke4qpf]

Aluminum is a cheaper option for shoeing horses. Shoes are usually made out of iron. They're heated up to a glow to hammer them out on an anvil to better fit the shape of the horse's hoof. After being nailed in, the farrier will file the fronts to flush them up to the hoof wall. The leather inserts you found nailed in are for horses that had a bad sole, either from puncture or abrasion that the shoe didn't lift high enough to avoid. The foreign object gets embedded in the frog of the hoof, and the insert pad is there to prevent further damage and allow the sole of the hoof to build back integrity and strength.

It's call Big Dog Complex. My Yorkshire Terrier had it. She stood down a German Shepard, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, a Weimeramer (spelling). She couldn't be bothered with smaller dogs. Guess they weren't enough challenge. Interestingly enough, those big dogs were sissies really, the all ended up tucking their tails and cowering behind their humans.
