Microwave MeltDown - Copper Bronze Cast Iron Casting - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure

[@bigstackD]

All you guys & gals out there are awesome and I'm glad you're back again for some more melting Muppet antics. Now today I clear some room and get rid of a heap of microwaves I've had sitting around for probably two years now as well as some more cast iron coins and remelt last weeks bronze bar failure. Some mix results that's for sure but the cast iron coins came out great in my new molds and I'm sure you're gonna love them. Anyway, I best be off and get started on next week's video as I'm looking forward to it. There's a sneak peek of what it is in today's video 👍🏻. Now sit back relax enjoy the video and as always and most importantly have an awesome weekend and see you all next Friday👋🏻😁.

[@NederlandBall]

Please do an Orbeez melt again sometime, with different metals! Would really love to see it.

[@leanna6226]

Thanks for making this video I have wondered what was in side of a microwave. ❤👁️👁️❤️.

[@howardgamble5623]

The alloy wire is not copper coated it is enamel coated. If it was copper coated it wouldn’t have any insulation and would short out in the transformers, motors etc.

[@Khameu]

Helping keep those sneaky drop bears grounded-cheers, mate!

[@bigstackD]

You bet! And cheers for the super thanks. I really appreciate it buddy. It means a lot to me that you like the videos enough to donate. Just saw this as I came in from starting to strip down the army generator for next week’s melt. I’m looking forward to getting the front panel cleaned up and added to my wall that’s for sure. Have an awesome weekend and see you on the next one.👊🏻😁.

[@w.ottopeck9619]

I can’t explain the satisfying feeling watching the prongs pulled out of plug ends

[@benthejrporter]

Watching this channel is a very visceral and sensual experience. I love the ice quenches. Gives me goosebumps.

[@kobalt7893]

Bigstack is so chill even birds want to hang out

[@fiatconcesionariooficial4267]

Hi.., mate How's everything going over there? Great to see a new video this weekend I thought microwaves had more metal like copper, aluminium or bronze, but each microwave has little metal The coins with those graphite moulds are perfect It'll be interesting to see that 200-kilo motor in the upcoming videos Excellent work as always Hope you have a great week Cheers, Max

[@bigstackD]

Hey Max cheers again buddy you’re a champion. Yeah I’m just starting to strip it down now. The motor itself isn’t 200 kg. The entire unit is 200 kg but there should still be a nice chunk of aluminium and Copper and no doubt some brass. Should be for a fun breakdown at least that’s for sure. Thanks again buddy. Much appreciated . Now I best get back out there and keep breaking it down so it’s ready for tomorrow’s morning melt.👊🏻😁 have a great rest of the weekend buddy.

[@raulperezgarcia7724]

You can make your own brass. You just have to mix 66% copper and 34% zinc, and that's it.

[@thomasmeyer9932]

You should just call the magpie "my little friend" because that's exactly what he is. He trusts you and that's how a friendship should be.

[@rudolphbondefangerer5513]

Just hang out a crowbar for it. We all like to hang out at the bar. Crows are no different.

Already has dogs with the names might as well name the bird the bank. Lol so you can take the treats to the bank.

[@laser-on-off]

The birds are awesome, thanks for sharing those mini-series along the main melting stuff.

[@Steelythestacker]

Seems like Slagpie is getting more and more comfortable hanging around every week.

[@leeb6864]

The dogs are like two potatoes moving around so cute.

[@bastien440]

Omg, a walking potatoes, watch out, watch out !!!

[@thegreatestdane8978]

There's a reason people commonly refer to their dogs as 'little spuds'. They are just adorable.

[@DeniseCraddock]

Here's the random comment: I love watching the copper pours the most. They go through so many changes and the colors are simply fabulous! Copper has always been my favorite metal.

[@tostastrodle1294]

My personal favorite is aluminum when the top slightly gets colder so it’s like a straw when he pours it

[@TheKildar]

I love the copper pours as well, but I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying the cast iron pours.

[@roshiwatches2767]

The steel coins cooling and making (crystallization?) patterns has been the most interesting thing I have seen in a while. I was also unaware of the carcinogen the magnetron had in it due to the beryllium. As always these melt videos never disappoint. 🙂

[@RichardStrocky]

That was very strange when you remelted the bronze bar. I've never seen or heard of that ever happening. Thanks again, your vids always keep my attention. Until the next melt.

[@JoDidntHearYou]

@@roshiwatches2767 that was really so cool to see, wasn’t it!

[@randymarsh9935]

Beryllium was only used in the high watt commercial microwave ovens. Not the standard 1000 to 1200 watt residential microwaves.

The beer out of the microwave with the angels singing was hilarious! 😂😂😂🍻

[@TheClblflame79]

As an appliance repair technician watching you tear those microwaves apart is cathartic. Thank you.

[@ScrappinLou]

So glad to see how careful you are with those ceramic parts on the magnetron! Thanks for another great video!

[@timothywallace9664]

Love the look of the cast iron as it 'freezes'

[@travismanuel3739]

I honestly didn’t think that the cast iron would come out that good. I think I might have a new favorite. The way it froze in the molds. Awesome

[@LILMAW131XAMLIL]

Cheers bro, I / we Appreciate you! Thanks for all the content and the AWESOME pours!

[@LynnStillabower]

Great entertainment on disassemble. ICE SMASH!!! Way to go Mrs. Bigstackd. The way to a man's heart is through the stomach!! Glad to see Magbe enjoying the birdbath. Your pours looked wonderful. Thanks for the satisfying entertainment!! Still your number one fan...Lynn.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

I woke up and decided to watch your new video instead of going back to sleep. It is now 4:41 am, and the video shows you clearing up and sorting things sfter the melts for today. I am loving your new coin molds.

[@CanisAnubis]

It's kinda crazy when I realize that it's gone from your winter/my summer, to your summer/my winter, to your winter/my summer, to your summer again and my winter. Feels like all of those episodes watching as things get hot/cold/hot/cold feel all fresh and recent, yet it's been well over 104 episodes, and that's 104 weeks. Though I've been watching the channel for longer - it's just nuts to see how smoothly we transition through opposing seasons yet it all feels so recent.

[@brianb.2398]

Even though it doesn't work as a microwave anymore, that last one looked like it made a good refrigerator!

[@clintonwaters3280]

Those cast iron coins look so good. Seem to come out even better than the other metals. The cooling of them looked wicked on this video. Great job!

[@macrofage1551]

I love the holy music for the beer discovery. {{{Achievement unlocked}}} [You've found a hidden fresh beer] 🤩✨🍻✨

[@treehuggermc]

thank you for taking the time to feed the animals. ordinarily i don't care about birds, but you seem to have a special relationship with them which makes me happy and jealous at the same time. good on you sir. love your videos

[@greensun5998]

Really love to see some silver casting in those coin moulds.

[@mortenhenningsen940]

Great video today. Love those coin molds. Think the cast iron ones came out great. The mettede iron looks cool when it is melted.

[@robertclark523]

Your videos are a delight. Thank you for keeping us entertained.

[@bigstackD]

Appreciate that!

[@brandonlesly5051]

This channel was the first place that introduced me to love of the sight of molten copper. Now, that cast iron is beginning to elicit similar feelings. Your videos have permanent altered me, sir.

Hi, from Spokane WA, USA. I'm guessing that with all the things you disassemble, you will never have to purchase a sheet metal screw again. Have a great weekend, and I look forward to next week!

[@robertlangley258]

I don't know why watching this man work at when I can't/don't sleep well but it is oddly satisfying as hell. Now I look for his videos.👍👍👍👍

[@slimturner9711]

That was a great hour of entertainment, thank you. Now starts the clock again, 167 hours till next weeks video. Thanks for bringing us along 👍

[@nathanieljames7462]

Interesting maths.

[@slimturner9711]

Thanks for spotting that. Never was good with numbers 😅.

[@slimturner9711]

Actually I think it's 164 hours

[@slimturner9711]

166hrs. Hope I'm correct this time 😅

[@richardscott6173]

Melting aside, the breakdowns are just as much fun for me. And the fun little story arcs, such as the fued between the crows and magpies, the spy planes, the BigSnackD, the hilarious 10mm saga, and of course the Monkey business that makes this channel so fun.

[@patrickschoenpflug]

Those molds are great and are producing beautiful coins great video 🙏🏻👏🏻😃👍🏻❤️

[@matthewshivers9235]

Random comment: love that you included the temperature of the melted cast iron. Dang that's hot! Cool watching the cast iron freeze.

[@brandonmccarthy7660]

Great you had Maggie and grounds keeper willie at the end. Lol

[@Stylowy103]

I love this channel. I have very stressful life and this make me relax.

[@mikosdanes]

Omg that cast iron pouring and how it seals up.. love it!!! Do more of cast iron melts please. So cool to see

[@kulesa]

looking forward to watching this ! happy friday, everyone.

[@pork_nachos]

Whoa the patterns in the back of those cast iron coins as they froze were psychedelic! That was a super cool pour!

[@t-race6023]

Cheers to you MrStack you're the best 😍

[@stuartwright1587]

You dinged one microwave so hard you knocked the beer out of the beryllium. Loved the cast iron coins. The new molds are awesome. I like watching the cast iron freeze. Gets a bit foamy looking at the last. As always, thanks for a great ride. Wifey takes great care of you! Cheers.

[@PhilipRomeo69]

Hello Big great vid as always. Best wishes to you and yours. The sneek peak looks interesting . Cheers 🍻

[@MEGQuilts]

The cast iron coin pours were really different. I love watching the metal freeze, and that has completely different contraction patterns than any of the other metals you do. Neat! I'm also loving the coin molds with history. My dad is a coin collector, but these are far more ancient than anything he's picked up.

[@brianr7023]

I've long loved watching you work with copper but I'm beginning to also really like the cast iron. Those coins from your new molds are very handsome! But I like it ALL, and am most thankful for these weekly ASMR sessions. All good!

I love those new coin molds. The cast iron coins looked amazing

[@ScoobaSteve451]

This has been the video I didn't know I was waiting for. I've got an old microwave collecting dust in a storage shed, and lately I've been wondering what kind of melty goodness it has inside. Now that I'm home from work it's time to settle into my favorite chair with my 90lb boxer/pit in my lap and enjoy BIGSTACKD's latest video... one question, is it "big stacked" or "big stack d"?

[@JoshuaOFloinn]

Your copper pours are usually my favorite, but the patterns in the cast iron you poured were amazing!

[@bigstackD]

Cheers for the comment, mate. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

[@nathanieljames7462]

Gonna go ahead and be that guy, and only because I used to believe magnetrons were incredibly dangerous myself, but beryllium is expensive and exceedingly rare to find in microwave ovens. Better safe than sorry but also not worth any worries after the fact.

[@RollingRoadEFI]

My eyes got really wide at that part...

[@chrisnelson6686]

Who would have thunk, the cast iron was beautiful and the copper wasn't. Thanks!!!

[@phoenixsemorata9476]

Those cast iron coins came out stellar, they had really interesting swirling patterns while still in liquid form too! 😮 I'm glad you made it known about the toxic carcinogen in the microwave part as I have that piece saved for when I eventually get into melting, valuable info to know!

Next year looks to have some exciting developments in store: the shredded, possibly a granulator and maybe an inroads into silver recovery. All the very best. Mike

[@bigstackD]

Cheers Mike, appreciate it buddy. Yeah mate I’ll keep up with the weekly Vids for sure. If the week gets too hectic I’ll just have to put out a short video but I always try to put out 45 minutes minimum as the longer format videos certainly help the channel 👌🏻 and allows me to buy more beer 🍻 🫠

[@talonlund8098]

I don’t usually leave comments but you asked for one. It’s awesome watching you do what you do I like how clean your place is and organized Keep it real waiting for your next video. Peace out from Utah.

Appreciate it mate, thanks for the comment! Any time you leave a comment or a thumbs up or a thumbs down it shows channel interaction and it certainly helps so cheers buddy 👊🏻😁.

[@vernonhall6939]

Here are some ways to remove silver from electrical contacts: Twist and cut: Twist the contact to separate it, then use side cutters to grab it Silver dip: Remove the shell from the connectors, dip the contacts in a silver dip, and shake off excess dip when the tarnish is gone Hydrometallurgy: This is an eco-friendly and inexpensive process for extracting silver from waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) Controlled cathode potential electro-deposition: This method can quickly and quantitatively separate silver from copper Nitric acid: This can be used to refine silver, but it requires a lot of nitric acid
