You will get a much cleaner casting if you will preheat your graphite mold to a higher temperature (red hot) before pouring the gold. Any great variation between mold and metal temps (even just a slightly cooler mold) will cause cold casting issues in the finished bar. Also best to keep full heat on the poured metal for a longer period to help extend the molten state to allow the metal to fill all of the voids. Not real important for simply casting for scrap, but does produce a much nicer finished bar.
Wow, the gold bar is impressive but the discipline (and steady hands) you exercised to complete this long process is even more notable - congratulations.
Okay, my heart skipped a beat when you handled that industrial size beaker with a small fortune in solution... "I'll just pour this through the funnel" he said...
A very enjoyable series of videos. Kept me coming back each time , which is a good sign of any production. I'm glad it turned out so well. Thanks for sharing your time and effort👍
Most of the chemicals are quite cheap and not hard to buy locally. Only the nitric acid either costs much of anything or is difficult to get. I once asked senior chief why he uses HCL instead of saltwater to precipitate silver, and he said HCL was more convenient. So HCL must not cost much of anything either. You can get some stuff cheap from overseas (urea, sodium metabisulfite) but that may not be worth the trouble. I doubt that he used more than a few dollars worth of electricity. So it is all about your labor, the price of nitric acid, and how cheaply you can get karat gold. To make money, you have to get bargains on the gold. When you buy stuff from folks you have to cover the times when you buy stuff that turns out not to be worthwhile.
That was very neat watching this series. I loved the look of that bar how the cooling layers stood out like that. I bet it was an experience holding that thudder in your hand
Great video once again sir. Respect for your dedication to your followers, I really enjoyed this series. Great work and hard work payed off with a beautiful big bar. 🙏
I'll never get tired of seeing the SMB hit a big batch of chloroauric acid! Almost looks like an atomic detonation upside down, including the little lightning tracers from the surface. Congrats on a marathon refining project!
I love the way this gentleman is meticulous in explaining the process so thoroughly that even though I am not conversant with chemistry, I am able to grasp what he is explaining. Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you, Sir. Lots of love from Rwanda 🇷🇼.
Great job man, I've learned alot from watching the whole process through all 5 videos. Thank you very much for all the hard work you put into this series. And for taking the time to explain and educate us. Keep doing what you do. Much Love & Respect...👍
Wow. Surely some what was I thinking moments. Really great job being patient, solving problems and explaining so well. Absolutely beautiful final result. Impressive.
I have a question about shipping and transport of these precious metals. How are they shipped? Do you use USPS, FedEx or UPS and do you acquire insurance on your packages in case of lost or theft?
IRS can't touch assets and as he already paid for the materials to melt it to that level, I would say this would be tax free....you cannot tax something of this twice.
Outstanding. I have been waiting for this final video!! I know in part 3 that you said you would get 100% of your silver back. Loved to see a video and numbers, and yes I've watched your silver cell videos. I'm just curious on this one batch. Thanks again!
I love all your videos but this was truly amazing. What a task to make that bar. I was glued to all five parts of this and watched it until it was all over. I appreciate your content. I'm learning a lot about my new hobby. I bought that book you referred to as well. Thanks!
That's a lovely bar! You always say that precipitation is your favourite part, when refining my first bar I found the melting and pouring of the bar to be the most satisfying to me :) Also, people might not realize, but that must have been a lot of hard work! Including the recording and and editing of the video, which substantially adds to the time it takes to refine the gold!
That is an understatement. For the viewer it must look easy. But its a Giant pain getting everything ready to shoot and make it happen like you want. I pour 110% into production and editing. It takes a toll on me and I’m an absolute mess for a day or two after I get the video posted. Especially if I’m up till 3 or 4 am. I may appear calm and in control during the video, but I edit out all the cussing and illness when something messes up. Comes with the territory.
what test do you do with the silver cell to ensure it’s high purity? i enjoy all your videos and i want to start a silver cell of my own. thank you for sharing your knowledge !
I could really feel how you felt when filling the crucible with the powder....a tense moment, exciting.... amazing how tough gold is....no wonder it's valuable.
I clicked the first video out of interest and ended up here. What an incredible process and result, made even better by your East Coast accent narrating 😃
Hi there, awesome video, just a piece of advice, to get a shiny bar, first melt the gold and pour it into a large bucket of water so that the gold will become granulated. Once granulated, put the granules into your mould and then remelt the gold in your mould with your blow torch, the gold will have a shiny surface once it reaches melting point and then let it cool slowly down, it will look like a bullion bar.
Sorry about my previous comment on the gas I just noticed it was 3 years ago. Important tip my good friend, turn your acet and oxygen down or remove, but always turn the acet off first and you won't get any ruff surface. Fast pour will do away with the layered look on the side of your bar. Spent most of my life with a touch or stinger in my hands. Love the knowledge you bring to the table sir.
An excellent series and a brilliant conclusion, I'm not surprised you had a buyer so quick for that bar... they know 100% it's the real deal right there - awesome work and a well deserved payout for you and your better half for her efforts in collecting all the raw materials used - Thank you Sreetips :-) Now the challenge what to post next..... might be hard to top this one :-)
Mr. Sreetips, even though you mention painful parts of the process, for me was another MAJOR learning opportunity. Specifically for the cases I still have excess Nitric. My prentice level of experience, combined with all that come together, I never take the time to process the gold with SMB. After 5 min I consider failed and put solution with other "failed" batches to be reprocessed. This again was straight to a large question mark I had and mistakes I was making. THANK YOU!
Nice result mr Sreetips. I appreciate you turned up the volume a bit, by the way, although it might still be a little bit louder in my opinion. Also, I keep wondering to whom you entrust transport of your bullion? I mean, who could be trusted to transport such a valuable item as this heavy gold bar? I do wonder how much the refining process costs, but I think in the end, that doesn't really matter since you refine precious metals for fun primarily, and costs are not so very important in that case I would say :) Either way, well done!

He was going for that breaking bad at home look
Spent the last 3 hours watching this entire process. I have watched most of the newer episodes and you have come a long way. Great work!
I also just did the same thing lol. Just realized it when I saw your comment. Pretty good way to spend my life.
That’s an awesome name
Wow, the gold bar is impressive but the discipline (and steady hands) you exercised to complete this long process is even more notable - congratulations.
What a ride these 5 episodes were! Such a satisfying end to all that hard work. As always, great work!
Absolutely grate man. Right to the point. Very good methodology for the novice to understand. What a beautiful result ❣️.
Congrats! Great series of videos. Watched all of them, excellent and stress-relieving as well!
Great series of videos with a brilliant ending well done sreetips great work !
Fantastic!!! Thank you for taking us along with you . You really nailed it this time. Well done.
Really enjoyed this series, thank you, kept me looking forward to something all week.
Okay, my heart skipped a beat when you handled that industrial size beaker with a small fortune in solution... "I'll just pour this through the funnel" he said...
Great work, congrats.
Apreciate that your mistakes are shown and mentioned, makes this valuable to everybody wanting to learn.
Thanks
Awesome Job! It's extremely interesting to watch you do this whole process. Thank you, for taking us along for the ride!
A very enjoyable series of videos. Kept me coming back each time , which is a good sign of any production. I'm glad it turned out so well. Thanks for sharing your time and effort👍
"It was a VERY unpleasant experience!" - until that bar is poured my friend.....great work.
Cant remember the last time I was excited about a video coming out. Great videos keep up the good work.
Amazing job!! Thank you, for filming and sharing your video and the process with us. The wife and me absolutely love you and your work!
I low key love how you have Sreetips written on almost everything in your shop. Love the vids. Keep it up!
That was pretty amazing stuff. Really fun to watch. Congrats on the completed product
I'd love to see a break down of the cost for the raw materials (karat gold, chemicals, etc etc ) and labor vs. the value of the bar today.
This! Also add in the power consumption on an induction coil for 5 hours etc. I bet it adds up
Me too.
It's all down to how cheap you can get the raw materials (jewelry).
most of those chemicals are made on industrial scales so can be procured inexpensively
Most of the chemicals are quite cheap and not hard to buy locally. Only the nitric acid either costs much of anything or is difficult to get. I once asked senior chief why he uses HCL instead of saltwater to precipitate silver, and he said HCL was more convenient. So HCL must not cost much of anything either. You can get some stuff cheap from overseas (urea, sodium metabisulfite) but that may not be worth the trouble.
I doubt that he used more than a few dollars worth of electricity.
So it is all about your labor, the price of nitric acid, and how cheaply you can get karat gold.
To make money, you have to get bargains on the gold. When you buy stuff from folks you have to cover the times when you buy stuff that turns out not to be worthwhile.
Gold looks so weird in that form. Looks like dirt or mud! Awesome work, God bless
I cant even imagine what it must have felt like when you first picked up that bar. Wow!!!
There is nothing, absolutely nothing, like holding a chunk of pure gold in your hand
This is THE 💣 💣 💣 💣
@@sreetips Amen!
Any size, from a tiny speck in your gold pan, To a big natural Nugget around 7 ounces. It all absolutely amazing.
You can see why this stuff drove prospectors half insane. It's making my mouth water.
That sponge in the beaker was one of the most beautiful things I've seen ! But then the bar was Stellar. Awesome job !! and Well done Sir !!
Thanks!
That was very neat watching this series. I loved the look of that bar how the cooling layers stood out like that. I bet it was an experience holding that thudder in your hand
Oh that's great. From now I'll call this smartest scientist mr. sreetips by the title of
"THUNDER HAND SREETIPS" 👍🏼
You are a patient man. You explained everything very well! Thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Thanks!
Great video once again sir. Respect for your dedication to your followers, I really enjoyed this series.
Great work and hard work payed off with a beautiful big bar. 🙏
You are the coolest dude on UA-cam! Great video! I really want to get into gold refining
I'll never get tired of seeing the SMB hit a big batch of chloroauric acid! Almost looks like an atomic detonation upside down, including the little lightning tracers from the surface. Congrats on a marathon refining project!
Hello you know about the electropolishing for gold ornament
Can you tell me something about electropolishing in Gold ornament which chemical used in electropolishing gold ornament
I love the way this gentleman is meticulous in explaining the process so thoroughly that even though I am not conversant with chemistry, I am able to grasp what he is explaining. Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you, Sir. Lots of love from Rwanda 🇷🇼.
WOW!! Love your videos buddy. You do amazing refining work. Keep them coming!!
You must really be able to feel the weight difference with 25 oz (!) of gold in that aqua regia...! Great series, Sreetips!
Great job man, I've learned alot from watching the whole process through all 5 videos. Thank you very much for all the hard work you put into this series. And for taking the time to explain and educate us. Keep doing what you do. Much Love & Respect...👍
Thank you, master
Wow. Surely some what was I thinking moments. Really great job being patient, solving problems and explaining so well. Absolutely beautiful final result. Impressive.
Nicely done always enjoy watching your videos. Excited to see what you do next!
My husband watched this without me while I was at work. Rude!
I have a question about shipping and transport of these precious metals.
How are they shipped? Do you use USPS, FedEx or UPS and do you acquire insurance on your packages in case of lost or theft?
I would like to know this also. You would think insurance on this type of shipment would be costly but i have no idea how that works
USPS registered mail
Amazing! Absolutely fun to watch. Thank you, Sreetips!
Love watching your processes. Learn a lot and love watching that shiny gold at the end!
You are going to be in the history books!!
Heck you already are in the history books!
Sreetips is in his own category!!
Have a Great Day My Friend!!!
Was it my device or was this video lost for about 4 hours??
That is amazing! I wish I knew how to do that.
watch his videos over and over . That is how I learned . His videos are the best on you tube . The only thing I do different is I use a little mercury
Incredible job sreetips! This was an amazing series to watch and wow what an end product, appreciate all your hard work!
Sreetips amazing work! This series was amazing. Congratulations on the wonderful job you have done.
This is alchemy 🤯
Alchemy is turning one material into another, this is just purification
This is the best part, the part I like the best. You took brown sugar and made a gold bar.
I feel rich, as I have a big bag of brown sugar in the cupboard.
Hahahahah lol
I've been watching for some time now. Your channel is fascinating!
I couldn't wait I was so happy to see this post great content and thank u for ur service
***IRS enters the chat::👀
😅😂
haha shhh you'll spoil the fun
@@lazyjackass77 🤭🤭🤭 I didn't see anything...😁

This is beautiful. Soul educational! Thank you!!!

It was really a pleasure watching your gold purity processing series. I learn a lot from it. Thanks.
Rarely does one video convince me to subscribe, but this one did! Thank you.

What a fantastic demonstration of knowledge, determination and skill! This was wonderful to watch. Thanks!
*sreetips* Just blown away, you sir are indeed the Grand Wizard ... Thank-you so much for taking the time to bring us along. God Bless.
I really enjoyed watching this series! Thanks!
Looks good brother! Are you going to do a silver recovery video from this process?
I have finnaly started the recycle business and I hope I can do this some day. Always great videos. Thank you.
Fantastic series as always. I really liked the close up shot of the gold powder at the beginning.
It is quite the thing to look at
Congratulations. I enjoyed the adventure. Thank you for sharing
Bravo!
These videos are incredibly fascinating. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing the process!
I highly admire your professionalism and your willingness to share your knowledge in detail. Thank you Sreetips.
I was excited to see this video was out, congrats! By the way, nice watch.
Great job, congratulations on completing the project. Bill
I just finished watching this group of video. Wow! Congratulations on a job well done. Impressed....
what test do you do with the silver cell to ensure it’s high purity? i enjoy all your videos and i want to start a silver cell of my own. thank you for sharing your knowledge !
Fantastic set of videos, Iv learned so much about gold I knew absolutely nothing about.
Great channel. I love when you talk about mistakes, that sometimes happen. And no big deal.
You make it look so easy. Lol.
Congratulations! That was fun!
Love this kind of stuff. Thanks for posting.
not a clue from the start ,but you got me hooked ,learnt alot
I could really feel how you felt when filling the crucible with the powder....a tense moment, exciting.... amazing how tough gold is....no wonder it's valuable.
Lovely 5 part series, thank you sir!
Nicely done! Totally worth the 5 videos!
You went off air a few hours ago. I thought you decided not to air this video. Glad to see it back.
I love hearing your excitement when you dropped it in the water haha I would be too if I made that myself. Thats so awesome! Congratulations 👏
Excellent presentation. All 5 have been brilliant.
These big bar videos really bring in the views! Good stuff as always.
Is this an expensive hobby to get into?
I clicked the first video out of interest and ended up here. What an incredible process and result, made even better by your East Coast accent narrating 😃
I used to do silent movies with text
Thanks for making the videos !! Very interesting and educational !👍
Beautiful bar of gold! Would love to see you refine actual nuggets straight from the Klondike. Great videos, thanks.
Great videos. I really enjoyed this. Just one thing, what's the name of your channel?
