- How to melt aluminum cans at home... by melting metal in a fire pit. This is aluminum, and I made a small yard token.
It's really cheap and easy to do with a foundry. I'm only going to do this a couple times for fun, so no need to pay for expensive gear for me.
Watch out, because with #BillandTed3 coming out, things are going to be even more stocked! - Розваги
Or fer 🦊 sake, here: I edited out the heavy breathing. ua-cam.com/video/HCEs0mT0opA/v-deo.html
To much Keanue stoken you up?
@@billhennen978 I gotta be careful.
It’s ok lol I forge too and it gets realllly hot most of the time
How much time spent to melt one soda can. And in this video how many cans you used
Man I don't like to be like this but please be more careful, it looked like you used wet sand, you can cause an eruption like that, and wear molten aluminum on your face. A couple other things, wear fr clothing, including actual pants, and be careful with that steel can, they can warp fast and cause the bottom to pop and throw slag every where.
Sounds like a young, carefree Darth Vader. Who knew he was into recyling!
See people, if you're going to troll the breathing you need to be witty like this...
well darth vader was already burnt in the first place plus everybody gangster until the kid who melts metal shows up lmao
Best comment! Darth Vader 2022 woke asf! Thank you for the insight!
i have a complete set of forging things. yet, im here seeing some random guy doing things the hard way, yet using a small to none budget. goodjob
That’s the hard way? It’s a steel can in a fire dropping aluminum cans into the steel one, how’s it get easier?
A leaf blower works really well stoking the flames 👍
I feel like when people say "Don't try this at home", they are talking to people like you and I, but we do it anyway. Thanks for sharing, awesome pour! Soo stoked for Keanu!
this is soo good, i tried this instead of using my crucible I bought for $300 and it work just as well, no waste of propane, just wood and wind on fire, saved soo much money not using propane
This is what we call a good UA-camr, heck he even sings a wonderful song in the start of the video!
I appreciate your silliness and for teaching how to melt aluminum at home. Thank you.
Why is he out of breath the whole video
Asthma?
Just bad microphone placement is all. I just got the mic hooked up, this was one of the first videos. Annoyed the piss outta me when the mic slips but I'm not exactly putting out pro grade stuff when I shoot diapers out of windows or slap dead muskrats with a paddle that hit my kayak... Stay safe fellow metal melters and have a great day!
@@thealicemonster9217 amature hour on the mic setup. 🤬
@@megoingfast lol Well at least it was not a bad medical condition.
wait my reply to this got deleted. I don't know why or wth I even said because its six months ago and its a hearted comment but still got deleted? again I posted it six months ago and so I don't even know what I said.
I burned a hole in my a can.
Edit: I burned a hole in another can.
Have you tried getting a new CPU fan? Firefox is causing it to overheat
Bro wtf@@joshuatremper5026
Sweet. Now I can take a aluminum trinket home after camping instead of 3 black bags full of cans. Sweeeeeet
there you go. may as well. then after a summer, take em all to the scrap yard and go camping again
Dude thanks for prepping me for blacksmithing
NOT CLICK BAIT! IT IS REAL!
Ok, yes. I already commented. So? Excellent VIDEO!! TOP DRAWER, SIR!
Best video ever! I didn't know you could melt aluminum so cheap!
I built a charcoal foundry and I use a tiy can. The charcoal can also be used to purify slag and candy wrappers and most steel crucibles are one time use only so you are basically using not only the cheapest but the more efficient way too! Electric arc and coal could reach a high enough temperature to even melt steel.
1:18 you can use also an air pump
i did not anticipate a single bit of this video when i clicked on it lmao
I just came across this video, I have been metal casting for some time now, this brings me back to when I started before I was on UA-cam, thumbs up and subscribed 👍👊
That went into directions I didn't even know existed.
The gun shots in the back ground were a nice touch...
That Keanu macaroni art is flawless
Wait, a campfire really gets hot enough to melt aluminum?????
Huh. Neat ಠ_ಠ
This man wore a motorcycle helmet to record this video
True story.
With a video this good, you deserve more subscribers.
WISH I WOULD HAVE CAME ACROSS YOUR VIDEO BEFORE I WENT AND BAUGHT A CRUICABLE LOL THIS WAS GREAT IDEA WHO KNEW IT COULD BE SO SIMPLE AND EASY THANKYOU
This is the guy you want as an grandpa
How to melt aluminum at home
Don't try this at home
So many people do, but UA-cam needs a disclaimer per policy. Probably best to not try in a hotel lobby, though.
I've tried it dozens of times. Burnt many an aluminum can but never melted one. Even with bellows (leaf blower) to get it hot as possible.
This was just the video I been looking for 💪🏽excellent work and explanation. The Keanu reeves was a bonus 👌🏼 🙌
I feel that since this video was made, Keanu Career really did Blossom. It was synergy, I assume.
I remember when I had my first beer 🍺
Thank you for this video I'm going to try it friday!!!
You are funny! That is why I kept watching
This was a sweet video bro.
Cool idea and method.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏽👍🏽
New supporter here from NZ
Amazing presentation. Thank you 💕
Bro you deserve a like and a sub, thanks for making life easier 🤘
This video helped me a lot and also made me laugh alot 😂 great video bro I didn't feel like buying a kiln I made my furnace from clay I harvest
I'm actually sitting outside in front of a fire and just have to try it lol .I got it to melt now let's see if I can pour it
I tried a wood fire with a hole in the ground as insulation and blew tons of air into this with a tunnel to make it work. It didn't. You are just lighting a wood fire without anything else and they just melt like nothing.
Time Factor - 2 hours to burn up those logs, to get half a can of ally.
His fire was better exposed to air currents, also relative humidity affects temps.
leaf blower for stoking does wonders
Your energy is great lmfao, great you tube potential 💀😂💀
Dude this was so cool, such knowledge
I did this with tin
Im happy with the results
You made me laugh and I insta subscribed XD I'm hoping to play around with aluminum someday and I appreciated this video! Thanks for the fun time!!
Fascinating! especially the Flamingo!
Most excellent video!
Yeah, having many of both and knowing their melting temperatures I was wondering if it was possible to do that. Now I know... Thx.
I found it funny and very easy to do. I’ll subscribe
This is so much more than I was expecting to get out of this video 🤧😩😂
I would probably just make ingots tbh... investing in a mold for it would also be good, as that would be better for making them... in my case. I don't have steady hands at all lol. Didn't think a campfire would get hot enough to do this. Seems I will be able to melt cans soon :D
And the more ya toot the better you feel, so let's have beans for every meal🤪☠
But do you love the patriots?
Very awesome video. I loved the Keanu macaroni art bit
Awesome Work..Sir..
U son of a.............................................................................genius👌🏼
You can tell it's America: The neighbour is letting rip with part of their firearm arsenal.
You can tell it's America: that's actually 2 neighborhood arsenal clubs in the area you hear all day every day.
loved the note "increase waste consumption". definitely consumed some soda waste in this video.
Chuck Norris also destroyed the periodic table with the element of surprise...
This video is excellent
Great video 👍
4:23 spot the Bob Ross
The most likely reason Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer is that the cancer realizes something was able to make Norris cry. Death by fright follows.
You could also use a blow dryer.
Can I use beach sand instead of dirt?
Look my husband dose this all the time but instead of useing a tin can he uses a stainless steel cup for metalling aluminum and as for the fire place the can in the center of the burning log to get an even heat
This is so cool
Nooo. It goes like this “beans beans good for the heart, the more ya eat the more ya fart, the more ya fart the better ya feel, that’s why you eat beans for every meal”😂😂 papaw use to say this all the time.
Other version: "beans beans musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot, the more you toot, the better you feel, so eat beans with every meal" lol lol
Quick question when your smelting aluminum what could you add or do to ensure .999 percent aluminum?🤔
Thanks man
You've just gave a VIP idea
Thanks
Very Good!
Thumbs up for the awesome sponsor
This is really easy and good for me
Is the bean can long lasting or something
Interesting tips safety feature if you put baking soda all over the place it'll prevent the Sparks from catching other things just in case you do some forging
Good call. The unexpected things u learn in the comments. May help near my quench oil. It's just under the forge...🤦♂️
Thank you my friend ✌🏻👍🏻
Point break!!!! A classic 😊
Greatest video on UA-cam
WOW THAT IS AWSOME😲
Imma fr buy a cast iron pan w a good handle thats in a shape of a bar and thats it man be making aluminum bars for days
Homeboy sounds like he just ran a mile before filming
Ty got a antique peice of equipment and I should be able to cast a replacement missing part
Awesome brother
I admit, lack of Keanu was my problem.
Next time make a square in ur sand as a mold it will come out better shaped I do this all the time
I came here to learn about melting my own aluminum but I found gold instead
thank you so much
How long does it take for the wood melt the aluminium in the can
Far out , the mind really wanders .
YOUR AWESOME
Thanks
Weldon, please what did you add to the cans to dissolve it quickly
Remember to breathe when exerting ones self don't hold your breath you'll pass out right in the fire and then the bucket and hose are useless if you are not conscious to use it.
What are the canned food made out of?
Me and the cop that I'm sitting next to are discussing your video by the way
I'll give you a heads up dont use water to put out a metal fire or to cool metal down. Unless you're standing a good distance 👍
How easy would it be to sand something like that down and/or polish it
Him: Don’t try this at home. The title: How to melt aluminum cans at home
Very entertaining and useful video. How is that aluminum so clean? Did you scoop out the dross before the pour?
Nope.
Filter it with a spoon or fork when pouring.
what was the crucible barrow made of?
Steel
did you mix any chemical to melt that or just a heat only ?
Are you holding the go pro between your top lip and nose?
Only chuck Norris tears can do that lmfao
did you take the plastic off the inside of the cans before you melted them?
Will this work with old scrap gold!
