Just a public service announcement. This guy isn't "making silver". He is removing copper from sterling silver. You need thousands of dollars of scrap to do this. Not a hater, just pointing out that you can't build a cell and get free silver.

[@sreetips]

Correct

[@barberjr1742]

Since the sterling silver is a refining material that he uses in his refining of gold, and this is a byproduct of his work, and he can turn around and recycle his refining material for additional profits for his business, I don't understand the public service announcement lol I think we can all deduce that you need base materials to eloctrolitically refine pure silver from, and that it isn't just coming from the void. Thank you for your incredibly pedantic and utterly useless disclaimer.

[@xa9590]

@@barberjr1742honestly I’m glad he wrote that and was searching the comments for someone to explain what was going on.

[@ChandaB775]

Thank you for the explanation. I just couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that he is “growing” silver.

[@essexfarmer9610]

It always amazes me when you melt the beautiful pure silver crystals and it changes form to its equally beautiful silver liquid form and then to its solid form which reflects the light like a mirror. Our natural elements on this planet are a real gift.

[@fieryvale]

Some of our elements are stunningly beautiful, for sure. Then of course, there's the really dangerous ones, and the really ethereal ones. All are amazing in their own way, I think.

[@tywebbgolfenthusiast8950]

2 observations I have made watching sreetips videos: one, you never “waste” anything. Even though you might be justified in throwing some by-product out because of the small amount of recoverable metal, you don’t. Used filters come to mind. Two, you always slavishly follow protocols. For example, taking the silver bars out of the anode basket, you always use the forceps, instead of using your fingers. Good discipline!

[@harryzero1566]

I'm at the age where that tinkling electrolyte required a visit to the bathroom.

[@damiansullivan9728]

I've been watching his videos for a long time, I have learned a lot, I think I'm almost ready to start a refinement of gold from jewelry, which will give the the opportunity to start a silver cell, getting nitric acid is a bit tough it seems, not many if any places cary it on hand

[@GoldenAura32]

​@@damiansullivan9728yes, this does seem to be an issue. i havent had much luck prepping myself. what I might have to do is make some via other means. i cant justify buying a couple gallons if i don't end up getting into the hobby.

[@Steelythestacker]

I too have been bitten by the silver bug. I absolutely blame Sreetips and a couple other KZbinrs. It's a good affliction to have though. I am starting small just experimenting for now and not trying to refine any huge quantities. I am dealing with only silver for now, I don't feel comfortable playing around with gold and possibly making a very expensive mistake. As far as nitric acid, I just started out by buying 10 one ounce bottles from Amazon. They also offer larger bottles at better prices. It's more expensive than quantity yes, but like I said, I'm starting small. You can also get quartz stir rods, beakers, ceramic wool, basically everything you need from there. I'm sure there are many other places as well. I hope to have a cell up and running by the end of June. Good luck to you if you have a go at it, and stay safe.

[@Madlintelf]

This has to be one of the most satisfying channels on youtube, you waste nothing, everything is a closed loop. That is one big honking bar of silver, it's gorgeous!

[@TroyRubert]

“Pure silver crystal” goosebumps every time.

[@darrellsmith5395]

Senior Chief, that's amazing. If I had the money I would have already bought what you have and would never get rid of it. 👏 👏 👏

[@D_A86]

The way you said, "If it doesn't sell, i get to keep it," sounded like you really want to keep it 😂😂😂

[@sreetips]

I’m starting a stack of 2 kilo silver bars.

[@johnwilliams8818]

That was my take too. All that work to grow and process it. It must become a part of you at some point. I've done business with JMB for a few years now. 😇🤑🤣

[@Morgan-cn5fk]

That’s why they set the price at about double its true value.

[@sreetips]

Actually, the price is only about 1/4 of it’s true value.

[@Morgan-cn5fk]

@@sreetipsyeah I saw that you explained that in another comment. Good man I wouldn’t sell it at the current spot value either.

Fun fact: The Sreetips family has been providing silver to the Helsing family for generations 😂

[@jonasgeez2140]

[@DanielWillems1995]

For Sreetips Try a pasta sauce ladel/scoop combined with the scraper to move silver across from the stainless steel bowl to beaker until it gets a little lighter. Don’t want to get sore wrists and or risk dropping kg of silver everywhere!

[@danmatsav]

​@@danger3_255 That's a great idea! Hey @sreetips ! Got any way to cast some high purity silver bullets? I bet they'd go over REALLY well at the eBay store

[@romar1581]

Thank you for showing the time lapse of your silver cell.

[@bill-hunter]

There's something satisfying listening to the crunch of the silver when you scrape it out 😊

[@TheFutureisTheFuture]

I think you went past the limit of what is doable in an easy way by one person. Nice work! Beautiful process here...

[@TheAzrai]

Yeah it looked a bit dangerous at the end there. Having another person on that last step (pouring) would be ideal.

[@JohnDoe-fd6wf]

That silver looks amazing. You are really perfecting your craft! Great job and thanks for the awesome entertainment!

[@canonicaltom]

Pretty awesome to see the impure silver get eaten in the cell. Love this time lapse. I don't remember ever seeing this before.

[@canonicaltom]

Also, I wonder if you couldn't scoop out that silver with a stainless spoon, once you've got it scraped down.

[@sreetips]

Probably could

[@looweeg4229]

First of all I'm glad you followed the idea to drain the cell with a tube instead of lifting the whole thing. Second, a small good quality plastic shovel (IE sand toys) could pick up most of the metal without the bowl being in the air. Also I'm sure we can find a better way to rinse the silver. I'm thinking to start by puting the silver in a fine mesh seive rincing with tap water, first then when it's somewhat clean, using distilled water like you usually do. A serious foundry setup would melt this amount of silver in less than 10 minutes. Could be great for impure silver shots as well. What a fantastic harvest that was. That melting silver looked incredible.

[@mikejohnson8792]

Watching you do these videos is like poetry in motion. Mesmerizing the process of refining.

[@ArielleViking]

Wow! What an amazing and beautiful harvest. Absolutely stunning 👍🏻👍🏻

[@marktyler3381]

I reslly appreciate the hard work that you do so that I can watch your hard work. Thank you! Silver cell refinement has been amazing to wtch.

[@thebarryman]

Watching the blue electrolyte get siphoned out of the bowl to reveal the sparkling white silver crystal was magical!

[@jacobforrester9827]

Very cool visual effect. I agree.

[@Ben-nb8ss]

Don't understand trying to sell at $50 a ounce when an ounce of silver plus buy premium today is around $30 a ounce. Am I missing something here?

[@sreetips]

Here’s what’s missing: I really didn’t want to sell it because I know when silver gets to a hundred bucks then that bar will be twice as valuable. So, if I do make a sale, then I’m not going to let it go for the grossly undervalued thirty bucks (with premium). If I can’t get fifty, I’ll just keep it. Time is on my side. Hope this helps.

[@Ben-nb8ss]

@@sreetips I see that makes sense. Understood. What did you start out with in the silver cell to make the silver?

[@sreetips]

I refine gold. I use sterling silver, that I buy at estate sales, to refine the scrap gold. I recover the silver from that, melt into shot, and run it through my silver cell. The cell converts the impure silver (about 980 parts per thousand silver) to high purity four nines fine (9999 parts per ten thousand) pure elemental silver metal. The impure silver is added to the anode basket. The anode basket is suspended in the silver nitrate electrolyte. I pass an electric current through the impure silver. The silver dissolves, passes through the Dacron filter, travels through the silver nitrate electrolyte, and deposits on the stainless steel bowl (the cathode). The bowl is connected to the negative pole of the power supply. The process only deposits pure silver on the cathode. So I’m refining the impure silver, into high purity silver. When it’s full, I harvest the pure silver crystal, put it away and forget about it. Then I repeat the whole thing again.

[@fredrichardson9761]

Wow, that is an awesome result! Amazing to see the silver crystal in one single huge bar. The bar is another beaut! 👍👍

[@user-ky7dn4qw3s]

Its absolutely beautiful. Love watching you work!

[@Sanzus2]

The cell is a monster! Been waiting on this video for a few days now. Spectacular result! The deposits at the bottom of the cell were thicker than anything I could have imagined! Great looking bar as well! Well done sir, very well done!

[@LexYeen]

Siphoning off the electrolyte instead of trying to lift and pour is a seriously big-brain move!

[@stevebuczek]

If the torch flame is yellow/ orange.. youre carborizing too much you need to use more oxygen to tune the flame out to a more blue flame or just barely white flame. It takes time to get used to your torch setup and to really dial in the amounts of O2 to Acetylene But this new silver cell youve made is just brilliant !! As always I really enjoy watching your process

[@markmayer2029]

Congratulations on a fine refine and pour. Looks like Sreetips is the proud father of a fine piece of bullion.

[@gfhrtshergheghegewgewgew1730]

ok that timelapse is amazing, really shows how much the cell is eating through the silver

Good stuff as always....Always amazes me how so much silver never looks like it is as much as it is.

[@HE-pu3nt]

Wow. To get those blue crystals in the face of the ingot, I bet that only has 30-40 ppm of impurities (99.997 - 99.996%). That's a credit to your precise technique and determination.

[@apveening]

Close to five nines.

[@Notwokenorant]

Heisenberg.

[@amandaposey6099]

An ice scoop would be handy for transferring from the bowl to beaker. At least until the bowl is light enough to handle more easily.

[@apveening]

I would recommend emptying the bowl in a fine strainer (over a large beaker).

theres nothing better than the finger prints of a poured bar. its a beautiful thing. melting silver is such a satisfying chore. i always want to melt my silver down just to melt it but it would be pretty inefficient to just melt silver bars into silver bars for no reason lmao

[@zombiecats7742]

the time lapse at the beginning was so good!

[@sreetips]

That time lapse was near the end of the run with the filter clogged and current flow, and therefore silver consumption, was slow. I’ll do another from the very start with a clean filter and it should much faster and more dramatic.

[@d00mg4ze]

I think the thumb-nail paired with the warning at the start is low-key genius.

[@kyzercube]

Sreetips, have you ever considered using coin molds? Just the idea of buying some small wooden chest and adding some pirate décor and casting pure silver coins would be freaking awesome!

[@dizzious]

Can't wait to see the slimes refining from all this silver you've been processing!

[@disgruntledtoons]

Electrolytic refinement of copper--which is done on an industrial scale--also produces anode sludge, but like you, they keep the sludge; it contains silver, gold, and platinum-group metals, as well as base metals (which at the scales involved are still worth extracting, if for no other reason than to keep them out of the waste stream). Anyway, $4200+ at today's spot price, not bad for a day's work.

[@rustybritches6747]

$3500 for $2000 worth of silver? I would just assume go buy 2 kilo bars from hero or monument, they have very low premiums on those size bars they also come with a serial number and a stamp from a reputable refinery so they are easy to resell. I'd be interested and I know you have a lot of time but $50 per oz is way to much, it could be a very long time before we ever see that money back, silver is finally just starting to come to life again after years and really it ain't much especially if you consider it's supposed to follow gold and gold is on fire.

[@Cabiotube]

My friend, it seems to me it has become time to start thinking about some production streamlining. a collection, wash and and straining station would be relatively simple and would make your life easier along with decreasing waste. Also a smelting forge large enough that the crucible could hold 5 pounds of your elemental silver would make things so much more efficient. Cheers!
