Melting Silver - Making Hand Poured Silver Bars at Home

Melting Silver - Making Hand Poured Silver Bars at Home
In this video, I'll be melting some silver bullion (Generic Rounds) into some more of my RFT Channel Bars, using my new Devil Forge Furnace or Foundry!
I am still an amateur when it comes to pouring and stamping as I only get a little practice every other week BUT I love trying my best and it's always a lot of fun.
Hopefully, you all enjoy this pour video and don't give me too hard of a time. :)

[@icyhotryan9339]

Rob when are the rounds safe to touch?

[@GrimesFinds]

I have really been wanting to make one of these videos for my channel. You in Dallas area?

[@codycast]

Can you explain why when you pour the liquid silver into the mold it becomes sold right away while the silver in the crucible stays liquid the whole time you’re pouring?

[@lukelennon548]

a trick: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@zachariahmarcellus8456]

@Luke Lennon definitely, I have been using Flixzone for months myself =)

[@phunwithphiphi8055]

You might want to try cleaning up the crucible and removing surface slag with carbon rod before poring, also heating the molds to red/yellow hot give the air a change to escape before the silver cools eliminating voids on the bottom of the bar, finally if you tap out the bars onto sheet rock no danger of scratches or dings so no need to polish. Hope that helps and keep up the good work.

[@OfficiallyRetired]

is that why my bars always have little holes and cracks in the bottom? i heated up the mold but not till it turns red or yellow

[@akuma3373]

@OfficiallyRetired yes, the mold needs to be glowing red hot.

[@ncprospectors]

I'd take any one of those bars. Even the rejects. Heck, that just gives them character. Nice job.

[@geometricart7851]

I guess you'd have to get an injectable mold to really get them precise.

[@zplates]

Interesting how quickly they solidify from liquid in the molds. Your technique is getting very smooth - well done! Would love to see the stamping process.

[@newbamaguy8523]

That one looked triple stamped on the top point! The even more elusive trippled die!!!

[@michaelhargis7036]

Each bar has its flaws and blemishes but that's what makes them unique. And who can't appreciate a DDO or get mad about one? Great video.

[@geometricart7851]

I think you need a vacuum forge to get them with mirrored surfaces like the pros use.

[@RavenHawkCoins]

I'd rock one of those bars in the background to go w mr RFT round.

[@RobFindsTreasure]

Thanks brother! One of these bars SHOULD be at your house!

[@ksnative785]

[@lisandrot01]

Cool video but I would’ve really liked to see how you polished and especially how you stamped these.

[@RobFindsTreasure]

I have other pour videos that show that but I agree that I could put it into more of them.

[@studlord9970]

100 years from now, there will be hobbyists collecting only ingots and trinkets made by You-tube scrappers and melters, and the "RFT 2oz ingot #38 DDO" is going to be the holy grail of ingotology. We have witnessed the birth of a legend.

[@PapaKryptoss]

Oh yeah silver. I love to watch silver being poured

Love the DDO.

[@t.n.o.8606]

I will own one ..ONE DAY lol .. lovely pours

[@thaovannguyenle9690]

I'm new to the channel and I just want to ask some questions. Why do we melt the silver coins into silver bars? Isn't that the coin has more premium value than the bar???

[@jonasgrumby7336]

Rob - how about an answer here?

[@PHUCKyoutube689]

A few of those rounds carry a pretty high premium. However he is making bars that will sell for a pretty good premium themselves. In this situation he messed up but normally he would probably get more selling the channel bars then he would get for generic rounds. This is what they make .999 shot for or even a generic kilo bar.

[@thaovannguyenle9690]

[@SilverWatcher.]

[@theoutsiderspost4982]

It actually cost more to cast those bars. Because you have to use energy to melt them with propane. Then you have to make sure you have the tools to stamp them and polish etc. etc. You are basically doing what a bullion maker already did

[@Coinfingers]

Would love to see the stamping process

[@thechill7978]

You da man! Thanks Rob for showing such a cool demonstration🤘 It's pretty BadAss!

[@statcam1090]

Is it just me or is there something primal about melting and pouring metals

[@icyhotryan9339]

Rob I hope you stay safe doing these and when will u do a metal detecting video?

[@coyotewacker]

Hi rob ,,great vid .. was wondering Do you use carbon in your molds to keep the silver from sticking,, I have to do it with my lead pours ,,jw ??

[@HDDynalowrider]

The voids on the bottom of the bars is from the gases built up in the metal from the propane..electrical furnaces dont give this issue when pouring silver. But I think it gives the bars more character..I find it easier to pour from a smaller crucible but that's just me.

[@Caveman_911]

Love these melt and pour videos 😍...and the “imperfections” are what make these bars/rounds even better...the end result is natural and has your signature on it. Thanks again, rob!

[@robertimler8283]

Probably using a pair of channel locks would give you better control of flipping your molds. Probably be faster too

[@RobFindsTreasure]

I have a pair and I was too lazy to grab them, but yes, you are most definitly right!

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Be careful, being lazy causes you to get hurt. I had a friend who poured hot metal with sandals on he had to have two toes amputated because he was too lazy to put on hard shoes.

[@ECP]

DDO is collectible 😎😉

[@rickross1185]

To save a lil bit of time and less resmelting. I'd grab a minimum of 6 molds. So once your crucible crazy hot, you can do more pours/ ounces per smelt. Etc. Just sayin is all! ✌️

[@jasonsummit1885]

You might want a torch on a stand over your bar molds to make a prettier finish and keep the oxides from forming on the top while pouring.👍

Nice bars! In would also like to make some silver bars. I have a devilforge, exact the same you have. But I think I will use an electril furnace/kiln for silver. I will also prepare a pouring setup with a burner hitting those moulds while pouring. Give them a small tap while solodifying will give them some nice ripples, just the way I love them! I will also need to invest in a tumbler to get them as smooth and shiny as possible. Hopefully one day when I build a new shed or buy a garage box I will start melting silver. Just subbed 😁👍👍👍
