Very nice melt and pour! The bullion bars are looking good!!

[@itsjustme356]

nice looking ingots , I started out with steel crucible now I use clay graphite crucibles , I did a copper pour last week , I love these size ingots you made luv it sub too!

[@irishgoldstacker8018]

Amazing. You should make more videos. Liked and subbed.

[@joshschneider9766]

Good bars but preheat your molds, dust with graphite powder and cook the liquid copper at boiling for a few minutes then flux and skim. You are definitely good on this. Sweat the details and you will have a perfect bar!

[@joshschneider9766]

Also don't hang out at room temp so long and pour in a slow even rate.

[@johnbutler5208]

Wow, great job.

[@stevesrt8]

They turned out sweet!

[@scbane]

Some things to consider. 1, a good flux and flux thinner make the bars solidify without waves, and make the molten copper less viscous. 2, copper tubing is 99.99% pure, so it has intrinsically more value to buyers and collectors. 3, tongs are a great investment.

Nice work , I’ve subbed thanks

[@johnbutler5208]

If you don't mind me asking what are one of those worth ?

[@andyf1235]

what are the dimensions of your copper bars/ how heavy? They are awesome I would like to make a mold with the same dimensions.

[@tomb8847]

Just wondering what your Crucible is made of Nice work

[@piratecasting4555]

Nice big shiny bars!

[@sammyd7857]

Gee you wouldn't want to make proper lifting and tilting tools to pour it would you.

[@joshschneider9766]

Also I always wondered what would happen if you oil quenched these big bars

[@overlordp.3758]

For some reason that makes no sense to me. The value of the copper drops when this is done.

[@jeffreydouglas6002]

Have you seen the stupid prices people pay for copper ingots?

[@smokeyspock]

Nice copper bars

[@mr.mickles]

Those darn copper holes! I keep getting those

[@pirateowlfitness17]

You need to pre heat your moulds to a higher temp, and cook your copper hotter before you poor.

[@joshschneider9766]

Beat me to it. As in my home art of glassblowing think hot work hotter.

[@ALABOTTLES]

Nice bars

[@georgehollis4133]

New subscriber hear mate awesome bars

[@gabystan6547]

Thanks

[@kristianprokupek6606]

Nice. How much gas you burn for one Cu ingot? thanks

[@gabystan6547]

Hi I don't know but it takes 40 min for 3.5kg copper wire to melt

[@boneman137]

Where do you find such thick copper wire?

[@joshschneider9766]

Power cables for industrial machinery. Probably other places too.

[@williemng6338]

Respekt is alles Super!

[@GuillaumeDrolet]

[@gabystan6547]
