Melting My Toy Cars -ASMR Metal Melting -Trash To Treasure -Copper Brass Zinc -BigStackD Car Casting

[@bigstackD]

I think I found my new source of zinc. A hell of a lot easier and cheaper to purchase it like this and a fun breakdown, even if it took awhile. Heap of zinc cars melted down with some copper and brass melts thrown in and a look at last weeks crucible filled chunk. Sit back relax enjoy as theres a hell of a lot going on in today's vid😁👍🏻, but most importantly, have a happy safe weekend and I'll see you beautiful People next Friday👋🏻🤪

What's the difference between the two different coloured sands?😊

[@w.w77]

Your number 14 car I have the van and car transporter that goes with it. Pepsi Challenger race set. I also have the Dr Pepper one

[@w.w77]

Its so humid over here on the east coast. It was 27.4 °c at midnight so I went on a bike ride and it was 89% humidity. Today it was very humid. Just started to rain. Loads of storms coming WHOO HOO ヽ(^。^)ノ

[@caseywood9781]

Are you sure it wasn't just pot metal? Cheap low melting alloys that can be mass produced. I think pure zinc would be too expensive for China

[@dakotasnow5008]

Irony is in the U.S.A. pennies are copper coated zinc 😂

[@alexkor380]

From Russian. Oh, man... Thank you for the fact that your videos help me relax and just forget about this world for a while. I especially like the inserts with emojis about the “suspicious spy” plane and the humorous inserts where you try to pull out the rotor of an electric motor. I wish you to collect a treasured collection of metals.

[@GrumpyHarleyRider]

Good melt Big D! That zinc poisoning is what we used to call "Gal Flu" from welding galvanised steel without fume extraction. Back then there was no such thing as air fed helmets. I lost count of the amount of times I went home with flu symptoms. Not nice! Since Kurtis didn't upload this week, Big D gets the funds! Have a great weekend mate.

[@bigstackD]

Thanks again buddy, good chat the other day, yeah not sure why Kurtis didn’t put out one I was gonna text him but I still haven’t watched his part 8 or 9 from last week yet so I have a bit to catch up on and haven’t watched KZbin for awhile actually 👊🏻😁🍻🍻 .

[@MaxCarponera]

This new season of long videos and big meltings is extraordinaire. Kudos!

[@zelos1826]

36:47 So overheating zinc turns it into a thunderstorm cloud… that looked so awesome. 🌩️

[@jimp4037]

The cars tipping with sound effects at the end were the greatest! Made me laugh! Thanks for the videos man.

[@justinreed2861]

I think a mound when a crucible is retired is a great idea. I would also love to see it with a mirror shine

[@MrGoesBoom]

I'm actually surprised all those little toy car had an actual metal in them, figured cheap plastic for everything anymore Thanks as always for making my Friday mornings awesome! Look forward to watching when I get home from work every week.

[@sniper7.62x51]

They haven't made of zinc since Mattel invented them in 1964.

[@eatwhatthemonkeyseat8161]

You had way too much fun breaking down those cars.

[@bigstackD]

I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t a fun melt for me👊🏻😁

[@michaeljansen3540]

I love the chunk from the old crucible. It fits perfectly on that shell casing

[@ChrisPelletier73]

Your videos still bringing something new every week; fascinating stuff about the zinc oxide. Also absolutely love that copper coin and your use of your newest fanmail! I do like your idea of the frozen chunk from every retired crucible from now on.

[@catgynt9148]

If you live near a marina that does maintenance on saltwater craft, you may be able to get inexpensive zinc ingots when the sacrificial anodes are replaced. Another great video, thanks for sharing this with us. Wishing you and your family a blessed week. Peace brother

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

👍👌👏 Great tip. Best regards, luck and health in particular.

[@Ordog213]

Tip. Get to a local tire shop, and ask for their trash bin with tire weights. most of them are made from steel, but many are pure zink without much coating. I got 50kg of old weights for free and it was 15kg zinc

[@CindyWin]

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) was used as dressing for wounds in the good old days. Great video. Thank you!

[@solarsoils7368]

Okay, the toy bulldozer cleaning up the toy wrecking yard was pretty cute!

[@geo2cv6tron14]

You're not the only one for whom it brings back good memories, I even recognized certain models that I played with as a child, I didn't know that it was made of zinc, so we learn about it every day 🤩👍

[@johnryder2878]

I love your sense of humor! That little bulldozer plowing up the wreckage was hilarious 🤣🤣👍👍

[@stevesahr1752]

poor little dozer😢

[@albe8479]

you perseverance in doin such a boring stuff like separating the metal from plastic in the model is absolutely admirable

[@timothymatthews7028]

These past few vids you've practically been face timing us, calm down! Hahaha yeah man my vote is yes for the retired blanks I think that's a honorable way to go out. Thx for another great vid and perfect pours

[@tomp5377]

Wow awesome closeup of the cars melting in the crucible- reminded me of the days I spent in junkyards, finding cars rusting away into the sand. My fav was finding what was left of a roofless 77 Nova, collapsing under its own weight in the hot, hot sun, only recognizable by its rear bumper. Melt on brother!!

[@ralphmourik]

Most of the Zinc I melt comes from wheel weights I get for free at a local tire center. Toy cars are usually not just Zinc but an alloy called Zamak, a Zinc/Aluminium alloy. I've been collecting toy cars like these to melt at some point, found some during dumpster diving but still don't have many, maybe I should just buy some cheap bulk ones. That Zinc oxide looks white as snow, don't eat it (duh). Fun fact: Titanium oxide is even whiter and is the basis for most things that are made white like paints and dyes and also toothpaste. Friend of mine works at a refinery/factory where they make "white" 😁 Hope you find the source of the nasty smell and can get rid of it. 👍👊

[@konstantinpobedonotsev5589]

Loved how the aluminum dome turned out! Thought it was gonna be shinier though 😂

[@lizardhollow]

Love the smash up! Clever to use the dozer to clean up and love the 3 “gongs” at the end. Always so entertaining!😊

[@Zyrukie4300]

Coffee, bigstackD and a beautiful sunrise when it’s -2°c Friday couldn’t be any better

[@anthonyrussell2221]

I think you should do that every time you need to retire a crucible. Maybe next time you could do a mirror finish on the flat side. Great video as always, keep up the good melts.

[@d4rk0v3]

still have my favorite childhood toy cars too. A lot of classic muscle cars. My favorite of the collection is my model of a 67 light blue Chevy convertible. My Grandpa had the actual car, and when he lived in Richmond, Virginia, one of my core memories with him is riding around with him in that car with the top down. He often took my brothers and I for ice cream and lunch at the arcade over at the mall. Every time I look at that model car version, that memory plays in my mind. I will love it forever. RIP Grandpa. Oh, and yes, the top comes off, and it rests on its own little stand next to the car. Though this model isn't a toy, it is 1/15th scale all metal with real leather interior upholstery. The steering wheel works, the mirrors adjust etc. The lights all work, even the brake lights and turn signals. The windows roll down and are made of glass. He built 3 of them, one for each of his grandsons, and left one to each of us in his will. There was a note in the box it came in that read "Mint chocolate chip, Sonic the Hedgehog." That was my favorite flavor (still is) of ice cream and my favorite arcade game. Those were core memories for him too. It is in a protective glass box now on display next to my favorite picture of him. Thought I'd give some more context.

[@savvynyx7156]

Omg, I saw "car meltdown" and I thought, "omg, he actually melted a freaking car..."

[@djboogy3985]

Ahh I'm sure he'll do it one day....maybe if he buys a new car someday he'll melt the Jeep 🤣

[@Choujifangirl]

@@djboogy3985 you would think but a lot of today’s cars are mostly plastic and steel so there’s not a lot for him to melt

[@dicedillinger6835]

New level of respect for Stack. I'd still have my fav bicycle from childhood if I could.

[@JM-hc2gi]

I thoroughly enjoy your melt videos and appreciate your thoughtfulness, attention to detail, very efficient manner in which you recycle, and sense of humor. So a sincere thank you for adding an on-screen timer for the dogs bit.

[@timsmith9645]

Awesome copper coin and zinc bar thanks for sharing bigstackd

[@bigstackD]

You bet

[@whitetop11]

My son would cry over these cars, his a big collector of dye cars. Love the Maggie's as well visiting

[@markbyers9762]

So much work. You must really enjoy your hobby! You know we do!

[@LobsterMat]

I'm not sure 3DBotmaker would approve of the cars being melted down but I appreciate the quality of your videos and especially your sense of humor. Thank you Mr. bigstackD!

[@FrancisUnson]

I am hooked on the storylines and subplots that the commentators announce during and in between the races of 3DBotMaker!

[@MoonKnightH8]

Whenever you retire the crucibles you should definitely do that crucible mold thing, next time in copper or brass or if possible Nordic gold. Love your vids 👍

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

Zincs awesome for when you want to catch small details.

[@brettlejeune7009]

I actually liked the over hanging sides on the zink. It made it look cool and unique. It had a muffin top

[@Davidslabofficial]

That zinc Block came out Gorgeous 😍

[@SuprDav87]

My father told me many years ago, “Growing old is inevitable, but growing up is optional.” Love that you played with your toys before playing with your toys. The dozer got me, 😂 Stay young mate!

[@tomp5377]

That was great at 5:19 , I was making bulldozer sounds 😅

[@Polsnulspace]

Great video as usual and great seeing 3DBotmaker on in the background. Another one of my fave YT channels. Peace from Scotland!

[@josephpedone2004]

The novelty Lincoln coin brought back childhood memories, visiting the Philadelphia mint and Independence Hall 😎👍

[@The_Meme_Fox]

Probably the most unique melt yet! Great job mate, I always wait for you to upload every Friday! 🍻🫠

[@Vault57]

39:15 With that much zinc oxide, you could add some mineral oil and make your own sunscreen. SPF 10,000! This was some interesting and useful information about zinc.

[@rickypsencik5947]

Awesome video again, be sure to stay cool and hydrated.😎😊

[@jimrustle643]

BigStackD is a true man of culture; he watches 3Dbotmaker's King of the Mountain. Much respect to you good sir.

[@TommiMakkinen]

Love that you also did a spot of promoting 3DBotmaker's King of the Mountain videos...

[@volleygirl1013]

I'm so excited you showed what it looks like if you just leave the metal in the crucible and break it out. It is so cool!! I would love to see you cure the metal in it when you retire other crucibles!

[@johnarmenta2199]

Awesome video, my friend! At first I was thinking "NO!! Don't melt the cars!!" Then you broke them with your bare hands, and my mind changed instantly. . . . "Yeah - melt them. That's a better fate." HAHA!! See you next week!

[@FrankBissio92]

I have to admit that I felt bad when you destroyed those little cars because it reminds me of my childhood. But when I saw that they were very fragile and that you saved the best ones, everything went away, jejejejeje. Big hug from Argentina 🇦🇷👋🏻💪🏻

[@colinrountree4325]

Good to see some warm Oz sunshine, from a freezing Scotland!👍

[@michaelslaughter4874]

Your favorite childhood car looks like a lore friendly grandfather of Lightning McQueen😂😂 Great melt! Now I gotta go find all my old kids toys and disassemble them for metal!

[@BadComedyReviews]

An accidental discovery on part now your are one of my top channels listen to while sleeping and studying! So satisfying!

[@bigstackD]

👊🏻😁

[@angrylittlespider4593]

Love the commemorative crucibullet idea!

[@seanfoltz7645]

I love working with zinc as it's totally casting on easy mode.

[@MeganFoxx426]

Score with the toy cars, But I always thought that diecast cars were made from Manganese rather than Zinc. You learn something everyday I guess. And it's good to see Ingot and Bullion are happy and healthy. Those puppers are adorable.

[@jam2190]

YES definitely need to make more of the crubile eggs!!!!! Especially to go on top of those shell casings!!!!! Maybe make them so they fit down it it a lil ways, to make them look ready to use!!!!!

[@LILMAW131XAMLIL]

It's truly Friday, happy December brother! Enjoyed your video as always.

[@Weazel1]

Great melt this week. I honestly felt that you should have kept the first brass melt as it was, though. If you had flattened out the pour plug and used it as a base, it would have made for a unique statue.

[@curtishatch149]

Thanks!

[@bigstackD]

Hey there my friend cheers heaps for the super thanks I really appreciate it. You’re an absolute champion. Have yourself an awesome weekend 👊🏻😁

[@silverlicious2086]

Great content. Been watching your channel for a long time now. Cheers from Cincinnati, USA

[@DigemDeep]

Talking about your childhood cars, my dad had an auto junk yard back in the 50s. When he salvaged as much as he could, he would scrap them similar to the way you did the plastic car. He would puncture the gas tank with a pick, throw two or three old tires inside it, then maybe a cup of gas and light it and burn it out. He did this on Mondays so the neighbors knew not to hang out any laundry. The next day, after it cooled down he seperated all the burnt copper wire, all of the die cast metal ( door handles, side mirrors and hood ornaments ) and cut the car into 6 separate pieces. That was how they scraped an auto back then ( at least in the country ). Now they just crush and shred them. It’s amazing how your burning of that toy plastic car brought back this memory. I was a young boy back then. Thanks for that memory and the video.

[@shoutdowncreative2705]

not EXACTLY what i meant when i asked if u'd ever melted down a whole vehicle, but i'm excited to watch and see where this goes!

[@ashcraft555]

"You ever melt a whole vehicle?" "Oh, yeah, mate - dozens of 'em!"

[@edwarddeitman1195]

HELL YEAH 3DBotmaker !!!! my other Favorite /channel R.I.P McClyde

[@jason3421]

I love what you said about what metal fume fever feels. That reminded me of how my mom once described botulism (food poisonning) She said, "You feel like you're dying and you're afraid you Won't." xD

[@andrewrossi7164]

When you broke up that crucible the metal chunk looked like a giant bullet, liked that you left it that way mate 👍

[@rozsmith369]

Mini wrecking yard. Awesome vid as always. Always lovely to see the boys.Have a good weekend 👍🏻🇦🇺 cheers 🍻

[@DGF2099]

Can we all agree that 3DBotmaker should get some love, since they are on the TV?

[@25vrd48]

Another lesson on melting and casting metals . Cool video

[@w.ottopeck9619]

Another great video! I like the idea of a “door stop” from last cast of crucible. Shame to melt down the cars but is better then throwing in trash. I remember getting massive headaches from welding or cutting zinc coated steel, back then they didn’t tell you it was bad, same with lead…

[@T0myTune]

Wow, very interesting seeing the zinc oxide! weird stuff... Great video! keep 'em coming :)

[@ricecake3707]

I love how the penny turned out

[@wicked.mainah5994]

Another good source of zinc. A lot of wheel weights are zinc now, instead of lead.

[@davidhammons800]

Ahhhhhh, my Friday night zen! Thank You

[@hjzurc]

Looking at the big chunk of aluminum you got from that old crucible and I thought it would be cool to see you make a big sphere!

[@sk_gamerz_2673]

This guy just destroyed all the small kids dreams to buy car like this

[@bigstackD]

These cars are bulk produced Chinese crap buddy, so these things shouldn’t even be allowed on the market in my opinion, and a lot of other peoples👍🏻

[@curtishatch149]

Great melt this week,thanks a lot! very entertaining 🔥

[@Juan_Doooh]

That lump looks like a great way to retire a crucible. May have to do one in silver.

[@irishsakura1]

That penny turned out AWESOME!

[@tomokovlog8567]

Love the bonus content at the end

[@CamHanlan]

The Flattening was so great.

[@Mrivera61]

Was kind hoping you would polish the crucible piece too. Great video BTW.

[@Tsukihito]

I was just thinking the aluminum blank looked like the top of a large artillery round. It's a good thing you had a large casing for it.

[@travisschaefer5286]

I absolutely love that Penny!! I am melting about 25 lbs of copper and hopefully another ~40 lbs of brass this weekend. You have me the idea to mold my 5oz silver quarter like you did the penny! I am nervous because I’ve never made a mold before. Also I don’t want to mess up the silver round. But that looks so bad ass, I might just have to try it 💪🏻 This was a great video!!!

[@eliotmccann2589]

A crucible cast is a great way to commemorate the service of the piece. Lovely idea!

[@Jakob-j7y]

hurray- today WITH cheers😂🍻🍻

[@dicedoomkid]

This reminds me of when I was a kid and me and my older brother would destroy our hot wheels cars to make a junkyard. Also fun fact zinc oxide is used in a lot medical stuff and as a white pigment.

[@seagull_king]

Had mixed feelings for a moment 😂 I like cars but I also like melting metals

[@davidetognon655]

3DBotmaker on tv y love it!!!

[@limeroundup]

The zinc oxidation was super interesting! And I guess you basically made baby powder?? Amazing

[@Therandomuploader22]

Great video!

[@MNeel63]

that dinging noise is SOOOO satisfying

[@juandelospalotespalotes7455]

Excelente!!!! Muy buen sentido del humor!!!!!

[@CVLova]

i dont know why but 3:39 had me laughing for a good minute 😂😂

[@GeorgiaDogScrapper]

Another great video, love the animation with the cars. I will be on the lookout for the next video, until then stay safe

[@gasconnade9863]

I think this is the earliest I have ever seen one of your videos!!! Have a great Friday!

[@MakingStuff]

I liked the miniature car crusher.

[@bikeracelegend8253]

No, you don’t making stuff

[@AdmiredDisorder]

lol boy I hope no avid collectors saw something incredibly rare in there

[@FastLaneLyfe]

Diecast collectors everywhere are shaking their fists at you Big StackD!!

[@carbomaniac4020]

I don't think it is that bad. Since he said they were mostly chinese brand cars and I'm sure even diecast collectors like me don't really care about them

[@Ziegen-Sauger]

The mold used for the Zinc bar is the standard mode for my collection. Rarely I make coins or use sand molds because of my lack of skills. Also, I collect pure metals - I try to find novelties on the marketplace (like molybdenum for example). I also like to melt consumer metals (like pewter) and standard industrial alloys (like red tombac)

[@franciscosandiego3026]

great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲

[@earlwidmeyer2654]

LOL .. WOW. I asked about you melting down dinky cars like 3 months ago.. That Tamper was hilarious!!! I was expecting the sledge or the cinder block but not the Tamper.. Great stuff!! Cheers, Earl
