That first "biscuit" you made I thought looked really nice. I was wondering about what it would look like adding softer metals (such as copper) to the mix, so the softer metals would fill the gaps and create an interesting pattern.
Awesome! Maybe next time you can try brass screws and bolts? I think these are softer and don't have the coating so they should bond together pretty well! :)
@@godfreypoon5148 it’s not very inventive and it doesn’t have any deeper meaning whatsoever. It’s also easily mass produced- so no, I’d say this is not art.

I thought about that also. I probably would need to make hardened tools to avoid making new tools for every 5 pieces but if there seems to be demand I think it could be good idea. We are launching new merch soon anyways and something like this could fit there nicely.
@@HydraulicPressChannel Don't be so harsh :D Hex is still pretty good. Philips/Pozidrive strip out like crazy, but they work at least once and your screwdriver doesn't slip out all the goddamn time unlike slotted screws. Fuck slotted screws.

I only just found this channel a few days ago and i have been binge watching all your content including the one from Beyond the Press channel. My only experience with Finnish people speaking english was seeing Kimi Räikkönen and Valtteri Bottas in Formula 1. lol, good stuff, totally subbed

Just shy of 3 MILLION people sub to a guy who's sole reason for being on UA-cam is to crush random stuff in a Hydrolic Press... What a time to live in!
I love how when he slaps the slab, it just sounds like a mosquito hitting a brick wall. So solid.. To be honest, if I had that press, I'd squeeze the shit out of everything, it would be a science class every day.
Love the channel. You should have tried heating up the screws and bolts after the first press and pressed it again. Creat a more solid piece with less air holes
Btw, maybe if you push the crushed stuff out of the mold-thingy you could let them fall on a piece of foam. This way they won’t immediately break if they’re a bit brittle
I don't know if it's an artifact/byproduct of the camera, video processing, or lighting, but they seem to have an awesome electric blue glow. If they have a blue color like that in real life, like a lot of comments say you could probably sell them, it's downright beautiful.
Agrees with comments about clear epoxy, that would look even more epic!! Kinda feel sorry for the pink monsters butt, that's gotta slow it down some LUL
Not sure if this would work, may be too many inclusions in the billet. But maybe you could collab with shurap to make a billet this way for him to then make a knife with.
Oh hell yes. I'd vote for a mix of everything, nuts, bolts, washers and screws to make a good damascus. Maybe heat the stuff up before pressing too? shurap is pretty good working billets with a lot of air in them.
Very cool little project man, I think.you found that kinda off the wall niche video that is like that ASMR stuff because it's just really interesting to watch and see it crushed together also I think those pieces are super co looking and could be turned into some type of modern metal art. Interesting video for sure do more please.

You could make a bunch of these, coat them in clear epoxy, and sell them in your merch store for paper weights!
I'd buy one. (If Amazon offered free shipping from Finland 🇫🇮 to USA 🇺🇸)
I had the same idea. Looked at the comments... And there we go... I would use it as a door stopper... And I would for sure order one as well.
Or coasters!
Good idea:)
Or a trick Ice Hockey Puck to amuse your friends and family.
"That is, like, metric shit-ton in specific terms" I always enjoy hearing professionals using industry terms
Three hundred and thirty nine million eight hundred twenty seven thousand Pascal. Nah, even more. Very practical unit.

I thought...did he actually say “metric shitton”? Hilarious 🤣
I've waited so long for the metric shitton to be recognized. iso ftw
For all the Americans: a metric shit ton is about 10% bigger than an American shit ton. Hope this helps. :)
I can confirm..... That's something people say a lot o.o
Awesome! Maybe next time you can try brass screws and bolts? I think these are softer and don't have the coating so they should bond together pretty well! :)
"pretty well" I believe you meant to write "pretty gud" ;-)
@@fewwiggle Pretty gud indeed! :)
I agree, there's loads of things they can try, copper plumbing joints, nails, etc.
A big bundle of copper wire might be cool too
Needs to have the oxides stripped or it won't weld. Mix with different brass and/or copper alloys for an interesting pattern.
"There's only 0.1 mm gap so that's tight AF"
Wasn't expecting that.
AF = Auto Focus?
@@Scynthius137 is that a serious question? Lol
The best use of the expression when you think about it.
This is also a metric unit. Like the metric shitton.

Finnish accents are great

- finnish pronunciation of weetabix
I think you could sell that. Make a line of decorative or useful things pressed out of tools.

Even better, coat them in resin as well.
@@GrantGoodwin993 ew no more polymers, the ocean is almost at equal weight of fish to plastic.
Good idea though.
Yeah I was coming to say the same thing, maybe spray it with shellac or something
Maybe seal them in apoxy and raffle them off?
Epoxy resin, vacuum chamber, then machine/polish the faces?
This channel really needs the 1000T press. It would be really interesting to see this experiment with that amount of force.
@mijuo roui I agree. Peter does some cool projects
Add in some brass and copper. This will serve as a nice “glue” and will add color. Encase the puck in Lucite for safety and add it to your merch!
Brass furniture screws would have a chance of melding together.
“Hey, that’sa pretttyy goood!”
I think this could be sold in a modern art museum auction LMAO
I hope some of those screws/bolts crushed were flat head drive (slotted). They are so annoying so we have to deal with them!
