Melting Copper Wire Into Copper Bars

[@TreasureIslandCasting]

I love the copper as well. Very nice video again. You made some beautyful coins and bars! Best greetings from Treasure Island!

[@HeinrichsMade]

Thank you so much! I really like how copper looks. The pieces came out great!

[@nickitoff9629]

Thanks for sharing! I have the exact same furnace. My first mold pouring will be this next week. Starting off with aluminum first. Really enjoyed your video. Very nice work!

[@HeinrichsMade]

Awesome have fun and be safe. Wear PPE! I started off with aluminum too.

Youre at a very beginners level, im glad youre enthusiastic. Keep practicing and maybe one day youll be competent my friend 👍

[@HeinrichsMade]

Beginners level? I'm definitely not an expert, but have been doing this for a few years. I wouldn't say I'm a beginner.

[@z9ao7v]

@HeinrichsMade oh it was horrible, uneven equipment surfaces, not heating equipment up properly, exploding copper due to negligence, horrible casts, cheap quality equipment...I could go on and on but I can't because I had a stroke from watching that video.

Also what Ppe do you recommend getting

[@HeinrichsMade]

face shield, leather boot covers, a filtered mask, and leathers for your body and arms

[@Reddit_talk003]

Do I need a casting flask to begin or could I diy it with a wooden frame? Also could I use any metal tool for the hammering of green sand?

[@HeinrichsMade]

i tried doing it with a steel container, but the metal eats away at the steel. It is best to use a clay/graphite crucible.

[@Reddit_talk003]

Can I reuse the green sand if I used it once? If so, what will you have to add?

[@HeinrichsMade]

yes this sand is 100% reusable. You just have to reintroduce water to it for it do clump again. I have a video I made in the past on how i mix my greensand.

[@Reddit_talk003]

Why don’t you just drop the ingot in? Would that create a different outcome than the slow insert?

[@HeinrichsMade]

No it wouldn't not

[@andyschwarm]

Where did you seal the wire?

[@HeinrichsMade]

I don't understand
