Triple Melt - Awesome Alternator Bars - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure - Copper Aluminum

[@bigstackD]

I just love this melting game but todays video took a bit extra to get the final result. Three great bars to add to the stack. I'm getting a bigger place soon so hopefully I can get all my pieces off the floor and onto some bigger shelves👍🏻. Now like I always say have an awesome weekend and I appreciate your continued support👊🏻😁.

Have a great weekend bro congrats on the bigger place!

[@Welshman2008]

That’s great news hope the move works out ok.

[@IanRobinett]

While this may seem silly from someone suffering from PTSD you, Ingot, and Bullion are a source of happiness for me. So I thank you for including them in your work. What you do is something I find cathartic in my tough times and I thank you for giving me a place I can come to relax and take a breather. Forever a fan in the USA.

funny man I have severe ptsd as well and the fact asmr is not a word no one seems to care about. I get the whole silent methodical process is cool to watch but ASMR isn't a word. it is not in any dictionary but the urban one people use for dirty jokes.

[@jeremyschnupp3075]

It's good to find an outlet for that, I'm glad you've found something that works well for you

My favorite ice cooloff is when the copper bar slowly sinks into the ice and the water boils and bubbles off all the scale on top and reveals the nice red copper underneath ❤❤❤ I wish you could make more of those copper bars that got really wrinkly on top. Those are really cool!

[@Psychedelicide]

The ice block birthing those aluminium bars is some of the best footage ever captured in the wild. & the wire brush finish is class.

[@SkullerMetals]

That's funny!

[@chasehoherz5311]

Hey bigstackD Casting you may remember me from a video long ago about tin in copper and discussing the materials properties. It is with great joy that I would like to inform you that I am now graduated from the University of North Texas with a bachelors in Materials Science and Engineering. It would be a lie if I said that your videos didn't inspire me, and I'd like to thank you for putting out consistent, satisfying liquidius phase metallurgical content for all these years. I am thrilled that you've grown from such roots as 5k, 10k, and 50k, all the way up to 1.3M. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

[@Thehunter905]

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO CONGRATULATIONS DUDE AWESOME

[@BengalW]

I spend the first 30 minutes of work on Friday watching these for the last 3 months lol. You're so close to the 1 tonne mark I'm excited to see what the plan is when you get there

[@jonathannorthup5705]

[@bjh6665]

Love you're videos and content. No cussing no fussing just wholesome goodness. Very relaxing when I watch. Can't wait for the next upload.

[@Bluebirdiran]

I'll give you a little tip. There is something called phosphorous or chlorine degassing tablets which are blue in color and I don't know the exact composition but when you submerge them into the melt before pouring, the aluminum is refined and all the slag and drose is reduced back to metal aluminum. The slag that remains will look like ordinary dust. So do some searching.

[@jonathannorthup5705]

Dude sounds like a great way to reprocess the slag he usually saves 👌

[@jam2190]

Right, i think he has 2 totes of aluminum slag saved up, and it looks like a good bit of metal is still in there!!!!

[@Bluebirdiran]

@@jam2190 it's difficult to remelt drose on its own. It's a laborious process. It's best to do it with each batch of fresh melt.

[@jam2190]

@@Bluebirdiran ok? I'm not the one with humpteen pounds of it

[@SkullerMetals]

He sure helped me when I started out. Made himself available and answered my questions. Good goin' on this one - the close-up of the copper melting in ice was sweet!

[@mr.hermitsquid2694]

The fact that he helps people start out is awesome to me. He helped me as well and has answered several questions since then.

[@skater4god1]

As someone who used to work on used cars that were bought at auctions, painting vehicle components is a very common thing. Makes it look like it has been replaced recently. Some places would also tell you they replaced it and instead just paint it to make it look new. Some very shady people out there.

[@bearpawdgamr2785]

The anticipation on that ice block crush was palpable, followed by uncontrollable laughter when the barrel came crashing down!

[@sk_gamerz_2673]

Whenever this guy's video comes out I never miss to it at any cost

[@charlestuozzo4747]

Just got my devil forge in today. Still waiting on some molds and casting sand. Can't wait. Thanks for all the videos.

[@Blamoo2]

This week I've built a charcoal furnace to melt aluminum scrap and it worked very well... Thank you for the inspiration :)

[@henriquecosta5778]

Bro I just love the way aluminium acts when it starts to melt. Looks like a soft chocolate bar in a hot day, amazing!

[@tommychew6544]

I don't know if that is a trustworthy reply to answer back to! I have fallen for fake KZbin accounts coming across that way in the past! They try to tell you have to pay the shipping then work you over for all they can get!!

[@sidcolwell7479]

Watching the glow of the furnace at night. Mesmerizing. Do more. With all your friends junk your going to be busy.🇺🇸👍🇦🇺

[@wannabescrapper72]

I have one of those cores but didn't know what it was. I just found it at the dump and grabbed it because I saw the copper inside. Now I know what to look for to get more. Thanks, and really enjoying these melts. I assume I'll be an expert soon, just like my wife is an expert doctor from the internet.

[@mattyal9347]

Lol! You're the only melter out there that can make melting ice a point of interest!😂

[@MrSpecialSpe]

I'm here because of the socks! And the completely insane tension that quickly rises towards a foreign object (steel barrel) breaking the picture by smashing everything !! beautiful..

[@MakoRuu]

The internal rotor (the thing that you threw into the forge that looks like teeth) can be pried open from the center assembly shaft. But it requires a tremendous amount of force.

[@bigstackD]

Okay good to know mate👍🏻

[@MakoRuu]

@@bigstackD Good luck, sir! I enjoy your videos. What are you going to do when you reach 1 ton?

[@bigstackD]

I’ll keep going I just wanted to have an achievable goal that I could get to over the next year or two. Plus I always wondered what 1000 kg of bars and coins would look like. I’m hoping to get to about 999 kg and then to go over the thousand kilo mark by adding 50 or 60 kg in one video👍🏻

[@MakoRuu]

@@bigstackD I believe in you!

[@pixelpuppy]

@@bigstackD I constantly worry that your shelf or foundation will break from all that weight!

I was watching a bunch of restoration videos before this, and in my half-brain state I was watching going "Well, this guy certainly is bold with dismantling this, and-- oh god he's ruining it!" Then of course it clicked and suddenly I was very much in destruction catharsis mode ;) Thanks for making another Friday a merry one! Cheers!

Well, that's ONE way to get copper out of something like an Alternator!! 😃SO Cool!! 😃 Great job as usual, BigstackD!! 😃

[@olliecherpuzi5045]

This channel is awesome. What a great way to show off different melting points too. The copper melting out of the aluminum, the steel looking almost untouched even after aluminum melting. Great work.

[@Myth_Incarnate]

Always love the mirrored bars but the brushed look is honestly my fave. Also, only 151 pounds to go - gotta melt 'em all! 😁

[@cruisinkruty4405]

night time pours look awesome

[@trirycheman]

Watching Smokey and the Bandit. Nice.

[@benthejrporter]

I love the postscript with The Boys and that little aluminium fragment. I remembered it.

[@steveaubinofangers7391]

Daaamn!!! Sweet camera shots on the ice spin and ice melts with the bars in the same spot complete with a finish, Amazing.

[@robsterTN]

I love a good copper melt. I’d like to see you cast something again soon. I like the videos of things like the Dredd badge and such.

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

Great Job Sir.... As a USA Viewer, that gets me every time... Driving on the wrong side of the road, a backwards Grand Cherokee with the wheel on the wrong side..... I usually watch your work early in the morning, and I'm just waking up.... So I always get the "What am I looking at?" for a second.... Heh heh heh!!!

[@JsStack]

Awesome tear down, melt, and pour. The bars look great. Congratulations on getting a bigger house soon. You definitely need more and bigger shelves. Love seeing boys. Great video. Can't wait to see what you do next week. Cheers 🍻

[@yaboyblacklist2431]

Another fantastic melt. I would love to see you make some more German silver or aluminum bronze.

[@chrisbrown-bg4gf]

Another cool video! I work 7 days a week but your videos give me a reason to look forward to Fridays. I like how different metals "freeze". Copper looks like a dried up river bed and aluminum looks like a bread loaf then it collapses in the center. Looking forward to seeing you hit the TONNE mark.

[@rhysfirth3506]

Interesting that it's alternators today. I've been passing an old alternator lying in the carport and thinking about how it'd melt up. Maybe in a few months once things settle down here on the farm I'll get a forge. There's a LOT of misc junk in a farm yard that could get melted.

[@lewisrichardson4483]

When you started with ‘my steel scrapping friend’ I got excited think I would get to see him melt some steel.

[@linn1934]

When you're smelting, do the neighbor kids want to come over and watch? When I was a kid I wold have tried to watch for hours. Cool stuff man!

[@ericcartrette6118]

Okay, this was hilarious to me. Exactly when you said the sun was back out, it started pouring rain here. 🤣

Cheers Mate! Love when the keg crashes down.

[@captainsinclair7954]

My three (actually five) reasons I watch these videos. 1) My potential interest in this hobby. 2) Your boys. They’re even cuter than my Quacken Troop, which is like 10 or 12 ducks strong. 3) The Actual Content 4) BigSNACKd moments 5) After-melt drink. CHEERS! 🍻

[@Dalorath]

@11:11 Did the point where the steel was half exposed to air, accelerate the cooldown process? Perhaps having an air medium next to the water medium next to the body in question, causes an acceleration of energy transfer when at the correct ratio???
