Melting Aluminum Scrap Into HUGE Custom Dragon Ingot: DIY Electro Etching Metal

[@awldune]

Very cool etching. It doesn't look as good as chemical etching, but it is GREAT that there are no chemicals to buy or toxins to worry about.

[@MonkeyTron69]

Greatest Masterpiece yet 🤘😎🤘 Excellent work 👍

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks 🙏

[@joshcarver5231]

The etching is definitely a good touch! Looks awesome

[@eleazarpyscher8569]

That is one of the nicest ones out of the mold, I've seen you make so far. Love the videos.

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thank you 🙏

[@stevenprice9327]

Clever, very clever. Always appreciated ingenuity.

[@Originaldrocks361]

Awesome video and cool etching as well!

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks 🙏 glad you enjoyed

[@Thewulf56]

That was badass with the etching, very simple to do. Looked Great, Nice Work.

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks buddy! Yeah it’s super easy to do and leaves great results 👍🏻

[@ralphmourik]

I love this simple electro etching, I should really get back to doing more of that, seems like a cool way of getting your logo on ingots to personalize them. 👍

[@ArtByAdrock]

It totally is my friend 👍🏻

[@swdweeb]

That etching was pretty darned cool. Nice job.

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks buddy 👍🏻

[@dr.rumack7668]

Quick and dirty diy etching. This one goes onto my "to do next" shelf !

[@concretesailors]

He made it look simple because he didn't show the part where it took him a couple of hours using an exacto knife to cut out the white of the dragon. That is where patience is a virtue.

[@multieyedkitten]

@@concretesailors you can ask for the cutted out sticker in the shop, where I go they use a laser machine to cut it out

[@bigredbullion3883]

Another amazing video and cast

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@jamesmendyk8546]

If you stick the transfer tape to your shirt first (collects a little lint) then apply it to the vinyl it peels back off a lot easier. Less of a chance of pulling up the fine/thin details of the vinyl. We have gotten a few rolls of the tape that where super sticky and that’s the only way we have been able to use it.

[@ArtByAdrock]

Haven’t tried that but thanks 👍🏻

[@semihdyngyldai4503]

One of the best looking ingots so far. Nice job!

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thank you 🙏

[@radioactivelarry]

Totally cool etching job, great idea, thank you.

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@weasel6three597]

Very cool! Keep the videos coming!

[@Mistertbones]

This one came out fantastic!

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks! Yeah I was pretty happy with the turn out 👍🏻

[@dancarey5794]

That is bad ass. Very cool trick.

[@nospinr.a.t.6523]

That's pretty slick! I really like it.

[@bigstackD]

Now if that bar had BigStackD on it it would be perfect other than that it’s still pretty bloody awesome. Can’t wait to try it out when you get over here in a few months👌🏻😁👍🏻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks brotha! Hell yeah we’re gonna try it out for sure 🍻🍻🍻🍻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 soooooooon!

[@ArtByAdrock]

p hopefully yes if everything pans out the way we’re thinking 😉👍🏻

[@kenny2644]

You guys are awesome. I can’t wait

[@josephsherwood8624]

This dude and Bigstackd should have a melting contest

[@ArtByAdrock]

We’ve had many already 👍🏻

[@MeltandCast]

That's really cool man, nice one !! 😎😎😎🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks buddy 👍🏻

[@TheLorkM]

Hi, great video. It's a great idea this method of "engraving." It's excellent and it seems very simple to reproduce. It must be able to work on copper, too. Thanks for this video, it gives me some ideas for future projects. See you 👍

[@garagemonstercustom6026]

amazing job!!!! the electro etching was really cool kind regards and new suscrip!

[@Thumper1968]

Very cool!

[@uspanews4294]

Another great video. :)

[@thereedededge]

Awesome! He should make it iridescent!

[@Originaldrocks361]

Rookie question....can slag be used for anything? It’s just the impurities in the metal right?

[@ArtByAdrock]

Usually I’ll remelt it back down to extract more but after that I usually just throw it out

[@cobain3695]

bigStackD Bring Me Here.. gud job mate.. nice work. ##FromMalaysia

[@LordGrift]

If anyone dislikes this....wtf else do they do that matters is?!? ...don't worry I'm waiting on your melt video....

[@jesperteilmannolesen7124]

I need to try this.. :D looks so easy but I bet that I'll mix it up anyways.. nice job. :D

[@yeagerxp]

COOL!!!!👍👍👍

[@geoffreyroberts1970]

Where do you get the etching, ( i have copper, bronze and aluminium)in this case a dragon? thanks

[@ArtByAdrock]

I made this one myself.. you could just use painters tape and cut out what you want etched. It’s just a stencil 👍🏻

[@rtube03]

🔥Very creative 🐉nice job 👍

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@augielimon7029]

Awesome brother that actually turned out so wonderful. Went to Bible Study last night buddy of mine said he was coming to Vegas only two-and-a-half 3 hours away I said man got to go see this guy that's who I mean. I made a etching tool using an intake valve from an old Briggs & Stratton engine wrapped it with an old t-shirt and do my etching that way for better surface area felt works well also. I absolutely love watching your videos. Especially the one when you made this custom mold. Would love to know the dimensions especially for the base or bottom. I know about a 5° or seven degrees draft is preferred just the size that's what I'm interested to know cuz that was the perfect thing it. greetings and happy Thursday from Phelan California.

[@augielimon7029]

Ingot

[@ArtByAdrock]

Thanks buddy! Yeah spell check sucks haha but I knew what you meant 👍🏻

[@robertlagasse4281]

Ok, now that right there is nasty sexy.... Yes, that's a description.... Meaning sexy in the nastiest way...

[@moosescrapper5928]

sweet! would that electro etching work on copper?

[@ArtByAdrock]

Yes it will 👍🏻

[@henge3d724]

Love eeet! 👌👍

[@darrellfrenzel8524]

damn that looked sweet, should think about making some medallions and selling them online, could probably get a good bit for one.

[@F4collector]

that is so cool . . . thanks for filming and posting -Tom f4collector

Your video told me to subscribe...I’ll do what I want, when I want. So I subscribed.

[@electromagic3111]

Don't chase people. be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people, the ones who really belong in your life, will come to you and stay.

[@kumaraguru4163]

Please use glove when do cutting and casting. Your safety is more important. Great video as usual. 👌👌

[@JWsCoinsandHobbies]

Now that is cool!

[@zangzangbar1743]

When you took out the paper It was ALL white and, when you applied It onto the Al ingot It was Black!!? Could you explain? Thank you and parabéns!!!!!!!

[@ArtByAdrock]

Its black vinyl, I cut out the everything you see that is white 👍🏻 aka the negative space

[@smokeyspock]

Sweet where do I get some of thoses stickers I can do the rest myself I just what to know where I can buy thoses stickers from please

[@ArtByAdrock]

I make them myself

[@smokeyspock]

@@ArtByAdrock oh ok thanks though

[@raiderzilla3882]

bad ass, bro

[@thecritics1out887]

What has do you use for the Devil forge?

[@uncle_thulhu]

Wow! I would have expected a hell of a lot more slag than that...

[@xavatheraverx]

Can I ask how did you print out the sticker? Did you have to cut out all the details by hand with a craft knife, like a stencil? 🤔

[@Trix469]

Here I was thinking the paint was going to to produce a ton of slag...bit it so didn't... weird.....next project....custom etched 1911 grips

[@jameshaney8468]

That is cool I want that

[@chemicalspore]

does paint and other surface coating agents become slag?

[@ArtByAdrock]

Yes.. it has to be removed due to oxidization

[@nightwingzero8905]

Nice one

[@geoffreyroberts1970]

Where do i get "Electro Etching Metal?" Cool!

[@ArtByAdrock]

Any metal will work 👍🏻

[@benblis4179]

Was that lite salt you used?

[@ArtByAdrock]

Yes but any salt will do.. as long as it helps conduct electricity 👍🏻

[@imeltz813]

Yo art what psi do you use your propane tank at? I just got an propane tank, any safety tips?🍻🍻

[@shocker7100]

Great vid as always. I'm going to try some casting tomorrow. I have a 3D printer now and going to give it a try.

[@fadedmovedchannel5814]

[@nickeldime3867]

That a Amazing pour. I would like to get a sticker made with my design that i have. Then get my design trademarked

[@kenny2644]

Great casting. That’s one beautiful block of aluminum. I have a small channel about rc cars and drones. I like doing all kinds of stuff and am considering taking up casting as another hobby and addition to my KZbin channel. Do you think I should and would you help me if I got stuck or needed advice? I currently buy storage units for a living and end up with tons of metal for free. Thanks for sharing. I’m hooked on yours and bigstackd videos. I’m super excited for the collab and can’t wait to see what you guys do next

[@ArtByAdrock]

If it’s something you want to do I say go for it and yes I’m always here to help others. 👍🏻

[@nickeldime3867]

Thats easier than having a die made with my logo. Gotta love it.

[@ipconfigearth102]

Can you share the cost of melting and the equipment cost?

[@ArtByAdrock]

About $3 in gas and $100 on equipment. Give or take if you purchase or make yourself

[@ipconfigearth102]

@@ArtByAdrock after spending 100$ and then every 100 cans cost 3$ Gas, and sell for 4 USD or how much? This is just a hobby or inspiration for recycling since recycling scams all over the world? (inclined to openly donate or start something) - since you measured the weight, saw the price is 2$ per KG. or accidental creativity? Loved the visuals.

[@coolelyful]

Where is this Arizona?

[@ArtByAdrock]

Yup if that’s what you think? Or you can read my bio and figure out and watch my videos 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@coolelyful]

I only watch this cuz I'm bored what do I care what who writes in their bio
