HOW TO MIRROR FINISH A BAR
I start with an 80 grit flap disc on my angle grinder then I use my drill with 50 mm round sanding discs . I start with 150 grit then go through the following Grits 240-400-800 Then once I get to the following Grits I use a small squirt of WD-40 1200-1500-2000-2500-3000. The WD40 helps to lubricate the discs and stops the sanding disk binding up with the metal powder . Then after that I use my buffer wheel on my bench grinder to get a perfect mirrored finish on it??????.

I don't know why KZbin recommended me this channel, but after watching several of your videos I can tell the algorithm knew what it was doing, this stuff is great.

I feel the same way lol

[@Jakob-j7y]

you're totally right. enjoin' every episode....

[@ZGorlock]

"Never add cold metal to molten metal" Good on you to put these tips in there. I was melting some aluminum and thought my metal was dried already but it was laid next to the propane tanks which condensed water on them and they got wet. Luckily no major injuries, just lost a bit of hair which grew back. Make sure to wear your aprons and eye protection!

[@MoreDuckies]

Sincerely glad you're okay. I've seen those "wet charge" videos and they are scary! I couldn't fathom it being in my own space with my own equipment. 😱

[@LamanodeManolo]

But then on the retry of the failed piece he adds in many bits of copper straight in the crucible with molten copper. Are those preheated or what's the deal?

This video hit home for me because of the goonies plaque, literally this past Monday morning at work my best friend and coworker had brought in a Big goonies poster that was framed that he said he had found in the dump and he hung it up in the shop, so Tuesday Our boss saw it hanging up and wanted him to take it down and he didn’t take it down, and on Wednesday morning I received some bad news that my best friend and coworker had went to sleep Tuesday night and never woke up.

It’s great to see that Goonies key. That’s like, years and years ago “my furnace is a propane cylinder with firebrick” BigStackD era. I love it.

[@alexdaman.]

The Goonies love has just elevated this channel to my #1. That was my generations first teen/coming of age movie and, my all time favorite film.

[@andreasfr1]

My favorite metal to see melted is copper! I also love the way it looks after it's dunked in water or ice, but before it's polished! The black and reds and weird orange-y, it's the prettiest!

[@metallicasnake]

Fantastic work as always. My favorite metal is aluminium. A couple of bits: the green flames are something wholly unique and exciting, the large bar is great to see, melting a solid piece of brass is mind-blowing, and you have the perfect antidote to a cold day, a thousand-degree fire! Thanks again for all you do.

Absolute gold to measure the temp of the beer with the Infrared Thermometer. Outstanding idea. Obviously, each time you actually touch a beer to feel how cold it is you up the temp. Each degree counts (Unless you are English of course)

You should check the back of the fridge to see if there are any colder beers than the ones up front. I would imagine that all that colder ones would be found there. Just a thought!. Thank you for the idea of getting a devil forge. Got pretty use to aluminum and am about to step it up a notch and do some copper once I get my new molds in the mail this weekend.. Mmmmmmm copper!

[@Heymrk]

If the fridge is working properly, it shouldn't matter where inside it the beers come from.

[@ThePrufessa]

Everything in the fridge on the same shelves is the same temperature. No idea why simple minded fools think things at the back of the fridge are colder than the front.

[@ThePrufessa]

@@maga2024ever no it is not. That's a complete myth. The whole fridge is the same temperature.

[@ThePrufessa]

@@maga2024ever the colder air is at the bottom of the fridge. You have no idea what you're talking about. If all the beers are in the same shelf then they'll all be relatively the same temperature. There won't be any huge difference between the back and the front. Stop believing in old wives tales and do some research to stop making yourself look dumb time making stupid comments.

[@thechad8997]

@@ThePrufessa Anyone ever stop to think about where the cold comes from, it makes it colder in that area. The coldest part in my fridge is the top right directly under where the source of the cold is. I'll get bottles of water that are frozen there and nowhere else in the fridge. Nice try on saying all parts are equal temp though.

The gloves remind me of a place I used to work at. One very large room there was a liquid fat tanks and they kept the temperatures at 130 degrees. That was the room temp, the tanks had to stay fluid. I was working nearby and needed a ladder and recalled there was an aluminum one in that room, so I absent mindedly walked in there and grabbed it, turned and walked nothing as I screamed a bit and let go of the ladder... frikkin thing was 130 degrees! I saw you wearing gloves, and reach in to flick a tab in and couldn't help to think a move like that with no glove would have turned out much different. Safety is so important, make it a muscle memory
