Nordic Gold Orbeez Sculpture - Making Nordic Gold - Metal Orbeez Casting - The Growing Stack

I did a quick melt today for my 100th video...
I made Nordic Gold which is 89% Copper, 5% Zinc, 5% Aluminum, and 1% Tin. I stripped some copper wire and used some scrap copper pieces for the copper portion, some zinc scraps from previous melts, some aluminum scraps from previous melts, and some tin that I had previously purchased just for making Nordic Gold.
I hydrated about 100,000 Orbeez, melted the metal alloy, and poured it into the Orbeez.
I hope you enjoy this video as much as I did making it!

I hope you all are doing well, and I hope you enjoyed this short but sweet melt. This is the 100th video of The Growing Stack! Since I started this little idea I had of wanting to melt metal and share my experience with the world, I guess I never really thought I would see this day. While it’s nothing truly special, it’s definitely a hallmark for me to realize what I’ve made and a launchpad to see how far I can grow it. I love you all, thank you for everything so far, and here’s to the next 100! 🎉🍻🥂

I was wondering if you can do a metal casting of the ARK from halo if you can that would be so cool

[@rickypsencik5947]

I bet it would look great in an aquarium. 😊

[@OGHumorBot]

Congratulations on 100 great episodes! Here’s to the next 100!

[@user-yu1lr9hn2i]

This turned out amazing!!! I love❤❤

[@gonzalez7805]

I just saw a video where a guy melted aluminum with a fresnel lense from a projection tv ... Could be a game changer for free smelting...

[@KrakenCasting]

I saw someone call Orbeez castings "vegan anthills", can't think of them as anything else now. 😂 The Nordic gold came out great!

[@TheGrowingStack]

@@KrakenCasting That’s good stuff! 😂

[@johndeyle153]

WOW! That is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen you do. I have so many questions. Amazing work on the video. I just have never seen that before I don’t recall. Nice work though!

[@lisazdankiewicz8846]

I love Orbeez lol Okay, that is so freaking beautiful !! You are the only person that I ever see using Orbeez. I think that turned out fantastic !! It has been so fun watching your stack grow ! Thanks for sharing !!

[@TheGrowingStack]

@@lisazdankiewicz8846 Thank you Lisa! I love you more than you know, thank you for growing with me, and growing the stack with me! I couldn’t do it without you!

[@MrJames0825]

Congrats on 100 brother, that turned out cool!

[@TheGrowingStack]

Thank you my brother! So good to hear from you!

[@sinakaedwards2009]

Love these!!!!!! always nice to see a new video from you. an interesting idea I have is to 3D print a like 5x8 rectangle that is like 6mm thick or so, then in the middle of it have a raised logo of a band or a jolly roger. Kind of like a little metal flag. I figure you might be able to cast it easier than a mold casting.

[@sinakaedwards2009]

Dude, I came up with another idea for a mold casting. You could do 3 medals like the Olympics. If you can 3D print them. You could use Nordic Gold, Aluminum Bronze, and some form of silver for the other one. Just a suggestion but the idea of Olympic inspired coins or medals would be cool.

[@empirefinds]

Awesome brother

[@agentid36]

Could be interesting casting the same into a bucket of ball bearings. No water-orbeez trapped inside, still a nice color contrast.

[@lesliek3794]

Those always look so cool. They kind of remind me of the ones done by guys who pour aluminum into ant beds. What I don't understand is why the Orbeez don't melt? burn up? Yeah, I know there's water in them, but melted metal is a heck of a lot hotter than the water. Anyway, great video!

[@Sphendrana]

I really like how it looks when the orbeez are still inside it. Like little gems! I wonder if there's some way to stabilize them so they won't shrink. Maybe casting in resin? Is that possible with orbeez?

[@ShroomDay0117]

I dont think I ever noticed before now but..... Is that a Slayer tattoo on your forearm? If it is, thats AWESOME!

[@TheGrowingStack]

It is! I grew up on Slayer! Nice noticing! SSSLLLAAAYYYYEEERRRRR!!!!

[@zazz69ed]

Hey my friend !! How are you?? staying cool I hope. Another great video!!! Love the orbeez stuff.. ,akes really cool designs..turned out great... do the orbeez that are stuck shrink and fall out? was curious. Well I await your next video and be safe out there in the heat and doing the melts!!!!

[@TheGrowingStack]

@@zazz69ed thank you brother! I’m good, trying to stay cool, but Arizona is brutal this time of year. Yeah, the ones that get stuck dehydrate and fall out(especially in this environment) and the sculpture is left perfect. Glad to hear from you and I hope all is well with you!!

[@davidmccleary5540]

Since the melting temperature of zinc and tin is so much lower than copper, how does it not vaporize before the copper melts. Always wondered.

[@shadowlol1160]

I was wondering if you can do a metal casting of the ARK from halo if you can that would be great

[@JimFinlayson]

Very cool video. Congratulations on the 100 episodes. Do you have to worry about the zinc boiling off before the copper begins to melt ?

[@tmntleo]

My main issue with orbeez is I don't understand what they're for XD Like what do you do with them now?

[@TheGrowingStack]

You can drain all of the water and let them dehydrate and they shrink back down. Im not sure how many times they can repeat that process though.

[@nckmccauley28]

Do you do all the instruments for the custom music?

[@richardabkstorm9009]

Why are the vids so far in between?

[@TheGrowingStack]

I wish they weren’t, but life gets in my melting way more than I’d like it to. Believe me, I’m trying my best to do what I love and make more melting content as much and as consistently as I can, but sometimes work and “life” derails me from what I want to do weekly. I am working on it though I promise. Thank you for sticking with me!!
