Scrap Pump Teardown - Copper Brass Aluminum - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure - BigStackD

[@bigstackD]

Hey there are you sensational subs how are you all today? In today's video I melt down what I was told is some sort of a pump and I'm not exactly sure what it is, if you know let me know. 3 melts in this video and some awesome pieces to add to the stack. Another long one today but next week I'm hoping to do a shorter one but I always say that and it never happens. Anyway have an awesome weekend enjoy the video and I'll hopefully see you all next Friday😆👋🏻

Thanks BigD. Have a smashing weekend. Can you do some precious metals melt?

I've not seen a video of yours end up too long yet.

You have a good one too, mate. 👍👍🤪🤪

For anyone curious, a fire ban basically means that, everything is too dry (aka lack of humidity.) and the risk of a fire going wild is quite high. Meaning that a fire ban is usually put in place to prevent people from accidentally causing large scale fires that get out of their control. Not everywhere experiences this kind of thing, which has to deal with the humidity factor. Anywhere close to like water, will always have enough humidity to keep fires within control for the most part (aka harder to start.) Also it's often issued during warmer weather too. Meaning if it's like, a fairly toasty summer day with no humidity whatsoever, like that of a desert... Then yeah, no fires if there is any form of dry brush around. Doesn't entirely mean you can't go starting a fire. Just means, be extremely careful with the fire, and try to keep it as small as possible. In the case of smelting... the heat alone coming out of the furnace could cause dry brush around the area to catch fire potentially if that heat were to drift enough to the side. Anyways, gotta appreciate BigStack for taking responsibility by not smelting that day, and also for giving us a three in one video practically in terms of metals melted in a single video.

[@beholden_to_ducks]

We have burn bans in the US as well.

[@neonhomer]

Here in Florida, a burn ban means no open fires....

[@fionagibson7529]

I’m honestly kind of surprised that this is the first time we’ve seen this (as far as I can remember) and that we’ve never heard about fire permits or restrictions. Especially after the wildfires chewed through Australia.

[@w.ottopeck9619]

I stumbled onto your channel. Your videos captivate me. It’s all I can do to keep from binge watching. I’m hooked. About the fire ban. I have my share of fire ban experiences being in Colorado, USA. Here that includes smoking out doors. It also includes anything that creates SPARKS like the cutting wheel on your grinder… that’s a no no fyi

[@othername1000]

So where you live a burn ban means “Carefully start a small fire”?

[@HeeroAvaren]

"Cardboard stops fire brick sticking to crucible." Oh yeah that's the stuff I came here for.

[@sirpanda5962]

you know, aluminium melts used to be my favourite. but after this video, i can confidently say that copper melts are my second fav :)

[@MicMadness]

I melted copper for the first time a month or so ago(took 18 months), and it has quickly become my favorite. It is so cool to work with and watch in all stages. I’ve only been doing cans for aluminum, so it is what it is, but the copper is special.

[@alanharney5278]

Many thanks to your fabulous Aussie water bombers. They have been here in Washington State the last two years during fire season, helping immensely to put down forest fires. 👍

[@GKM6600]

I remember just a few years ago you weren't even halfway to your goal and I would spend the little time I had enjoying your melts. Now, you're almost there! Keep it up man and thank you :)

[@FT4Freedom]

Bigstackd, u must be a genius. You have some time to do this and live your life. Bro. The longer I live, the more people humble me. And your camera work and editing is tops. I see u do multiple angles and never catch the other lenses. Very creative. On top of it all u r organized. And the script is great, full of humor and nothing wasted. Every shot has great composure and meaning. Holy cow bro. Next level. I've watched tons of your stuff.

Surgically precise as always. Thanks for the content and edits. ❤

[@Terra-Quattuor]

If you've not tried it, for industrial grease/grime on your hands, try pumice sand soap. I knew a lot of mechanics who keep it on hand. I remember using it way back in Auto shop. That stuff was FANTASTIC! Took the caked on grease like it was nothing. Also did a lot to soften my hands, which was a surprise. I think you'd live it for grimey melts like this one. Either way, I am quite relaxed and enjoying this right now.

[@vicferrari9380]

I use a face scrubbing soap with those tiny scrubbing beads in it clean my grime hands. It cleans amazingly well! I'm surprised the wife unit can wash her face with it. I do it all the time. It's called ( invigorating facial cleanser) at Target or ( Clean & Clear Morning Burst Cleanser) at the expensive stores. It's only draw back it they are finding those little scrubbing beads in fish now because they go right through the sewage treatment facility and into the ocean.🤯

[@Duewester]

Dawn dish washing liquid and salt.

[@Skru057]

Lava soap is legit, I used to pull and ship hydraulic fittings all coated with different oils for diff metal(brass/steel/iron/etc.) and lava works on all of them

[@Terra-Quattuor]

@skru_ball Lava was a great one! I used it a few times, that liquid soap with the pumice. It's really hard to find the dry powder, though, that's the best for making the hands silky soft after all that grease. But Lava was still a great one!

[@Terra-Quattuor]

@@Duewester hmm, I should give that one a try, I've got that grittier Himalayan salt, should work.

Can I ask what fire bans are?

[@jubba90able]

@@cosm1c_moonl1ght15 when it’s so dry and temperatures are high and things can catch on fire really easy

[@michaellindsey1543]

@@cosm1c_moonl1ght15 I live in Northern California USA and fire bans are an annual event here. When it is dry, hot and windy the government orders a ban on all outdoor fires. This usually includes gas powered equipment and off road vehicles as a spark in dry grass can burn down thousands of homes over vast areas.

Love the crystallisation as the pour sets, you doing great work with the filming and editing mate. Skinks are awesome as they will help keep the bugs down a bit!

[@abarton1978]

I love the Goonies theme! I look forward to these videos every Friday 😁

[@Coffreek]

Sorry if this has been answered, I'm one of those feckin Sparkys, and I couldn't resist. Looks to be a hydraulic reservoir pump. Drain the oil and you should find a pressure pump of some kind that was connected to that motor, as well as threaded ports somewhere that are labeled "inlet" and "outlet", or somesuch thing that tells you where the hoses need to go. It gets connected to a hydraulic cylinder for things like opening and closing discharge gates on aggregate storage bins. As for the motor itself, I'm from the States, so I don't want to do too much guessing about it.

[@robertgolden1080]

Your disassembly. You have the precision of a skilled neurosurgeon. Fantastic video Sir.

That's funny I am also in Indiana and always watch the stackd lol. Why is it aluminum always has slag but copper and the others hardly ever do?

@@victorvirtue1203 It's because it's not pure aluminum, it's got all that paint and plastic coating on the inside.

Funny enough, I found your vids because I had a large amount of scrap sterling and wanted to melt it but ended up watching a bunch of extraction/refining videos. KZbin thought I might like your videos (I do) and popped a bunch of your vids up in my suggestions. That being said extracting the silver will be a chemical process so you will need the chemicals, a heat source (I don't think your furnace will work), and a fume hood or I guess you could try open air with your respirator on.

Yeah the boys will hunt anything they can they are fearless. they’ll try take down dogs 5 times bigger than them If we let em🤦🏻‍♂️.
