Melting BRASS ALUMINIUM & LEAD with a handheld Propane Tank Metal Casting

[@jerryspencer2811]

PURE SKILL! Love these old videos and its awesome to see how far youve come and its fun to wonder what youll do next 🤔😂 Bigger furnace. Bigger ingots. New designs. Maybe even make screens to replace the ones you melted 😂 Possibilities are endless.

[@Kaaskop84]

That first brass heart looks perfect mate! Looked like fun working with that torch. 👍🏻 amd suddenly aluminium looks a lot more difficult. Looked not so watery...

[@aflamaflam8382]

Good evening I would like to know the temperature degree of the flame of your blowtorch ? please 1300 ?

[@hulkgaming7190]

Matey, Love you Very Much, May God bless you with more❣️

[@kodyyonk5965]

🖐️ you make it look easy and fun!

[@thelawdoc8029]

Do you suppose that small amounts of brass or copper could be melted with a torch directly in the mold- without use of a crucible?

[@bigstackD]

Yes it would be very easy to do but with such high temperatures it would dramatically reduce the life of the mold. That’s why we don’t put graphite molds inside the furnace as they will break down way too fast in those extreme temperatures and you would probably shorten the life of the mold by about 90%👍🏻

[@omega8062]

Day one of watching, commenting, and liking every one of your videos

[@lorenzamucci]

You should start casting hearts again!😂

[@newbiegaming6090]

After all the teasing... Finally some hearts! XD

[@cptrikester2671]

Great test info & results.

[@sartoviski]

I love your videos.

[@deathineyes]

Very nice video, but can you tell me how much Aluminium I can melt with propane-butane torch without foundry ?

[@joshuadavis2965]

I like how small the metals are u are working with in this vid. I think i will try to melt and pour some in a bucket of water so i can easily get that 1% 5% 5% for the Nordic Gold. I can do the 89% copper no problem

[@bigstackD]

Cool buddy just be careful and remember safety first have fun 😁👍🏻

[@ryryr7]

Do you know if altitude has an effect on melting times? Obviously at very high alt. It would but what would 4000ft effect?

[@bigstackD]

Matey I have absolutely no idea although I wouldn’t think it would because the inside of the furnace has its own atmosphere and at those temperatures I doubt the thinner oxygen would be a problem you would just have to open the choke up a bit more to let a bit more oxygen into the furnace👌🏻.

[@amberpapamber2718]

Can you do a video showing what happens when you pour different metals on different items. Like what happens

[@tonymusto8494]

What brand and model torch? I was using a bernzomatic 8000 and using brass shavings and my brass won't liquify

[@floriscaes7604]

Hello, Great video! I was wondering which type of propane tank you used? Do you have a name or brand I can look up? Thank you!

[@chriskeegan2906]

Hey, could I bother you to inform us how many oz. of brass was contained in those 2 hearts (my guess is 4-6oz.), how much propane did it take to melt that much brass, were you using any oxygen, and what type of torch is that. Many thanks.

[@chieffilipino9133]

What is your mold made of? Is it something that could easily be customized?

[@bigstackD]

Yes mate it’s a graphite block with a heart shape engraved in it, you can buy graphite blocks off eBay and if you have a Dremel or a Drill Press you can grind out different shapes or make a personalise coin mold 👌🏻😁

[@bluefernlove]

Did you use any sort of flux with the aluminium? I've heard borax will make it oxidize and light salt should be used instead. Haven't tried it though.

[@kateschuman6745]

Can you do bronze, brass, and silver??

[@yelagriz]

Will commenting on all 250+ vids get me a solid chance in the giveaway? I love your videos 😁😎. Ingot is my favorite pupper on the tubes!

[@adanalicea8096]

You added borax to melt aluminium? I tried once but I got lots of oxide.

[@bigstackD]

I really had no idea what I was doing back then ,although I still not that switched on wen it comes to melting metals. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@KagedBooks]

do you have a video on your burner?

[@bigstackD]

Sorry mate no video on my burner although I do show it closer up on my keg furnace build video 👍🏻. I bought it off eBay 😁

[@KagedBooks]

cool, i'll check it out

[@TheKeishana]

Hey dear ,could i use my map pro gas to melt the brass too? .Thanks alot great vid.

[@bigstackD]

I Couldn’t see why not that should get just as hot if not hotter although it is almost impossible to melt large brass pieces With handheld gas bottles but smaller ones can be done although it will take time👍🏻

[@TheKeishana]

I see well i want to melt small amount for my jewelry casting , has a little amount of money to spend so if you dont mind, could you give me yourr best torch advice that would get the job done. with minimal stress thanks alot.

[@simsesworkshop1546]

When you cast hearts in lead, will it be hard bend it? i have a lots of lead and im thinking i will try to make some stuff out off it :)

[@bigstackD]

Nah mate these particular hearts are thick enough so you won’t bend them by hand but maybe you could twist them a tiny bit with 2 pairs of pliers 👍🏻

[@simsesworkshop1546]

Ok thanks for your reply !😀👍

[@bigstackD]

No worries mate . I don’t recommend touching lead too much and always wash your hands b4 touching food or your face after handling the lead. But I can’t really say much as I started making lead into stuff b4 I progressed to brass n aluminium. Good luck mate and always preheat your molds also make sure any lead you add to the already molten lead is free from any moisture or you’ll very quickly experience a steam explosion. Sorry if I sound like a teacher but I have a lot of younger viewers watch my channel 😁

[@simsesworkshop1546]

😀👍

[@domino52o26]

Love me some fresh cast bullets

[@bigstackD]

Mmmm bullets 🤤🤤🤤

[@susanserwatka931]

The aluminum gave you a bit of a hard time when you were pouring huh? This was a good whole back ago.

[@urjnlegend]

what is that heart mold made of, graphite?

[@bigstackD]

urjnlegend sure is buddy graphite . Available on eBay.👍🏻

[@dantheman4065]

Nice, I too like the I wonder??? As always Thanks for the great video. #BigstackD

[@pheenix42]

How's that possible with a handheld torch???

[@bigstackD]

Alonzo Branson the experts recon temps of up to 1995 degrees can be reached with these torches apparently 👍🏻thanx for watching buddy. classroom.synonym.com/temperature-propane-torch-5911.html

[@pheenix42]

Well...if that be the case, I have learned something, good sir. Myself, I have only ever seen aluminium and brass melted with a furnace of some sort.

[@empereur-onyx]

Nice

[@simonb6437]

Amazing

[@wohelfycopper7943]

So cute

[@bigstackD]

😁👍🏻

[@ephraimt1]

LOVE IT! ♡♡♡

[@bigstackD]

Good to see you’re back my friend I hope you have a great year this year👍🏻😁

[@ephraimt1]

@@bigstackD Cheers mate. You too!!

[@830jps]

This is best to start like that. And not a 10kg furnace

[@PracticalOutdoorist]

Cool !

[@bigstackD]

MetalBeeps Outdoors no hot very hot 🤘🏻

[@rsz90182]

That worked

[@bigstackD]

😉👍🏻

[@bzzemm]

Thanks for the video, but please at least put a sheet of metal on top of your wooden table... Believe me you never know when shit decides to say hello

[@draculafire4870]

Need one plz😍😍

[@bigstackD]

Maybe 1 day🤷🏻‍♂️

[@darkmerchant1]

Gave you a shout out in my vlog

[@bigstackD]

+darkmerchant1 Thanks matey any help is appreciated what do you vlog about🤔
