Melting GLASS Bottles Into A Huge Glass Ingot AND Coins - Melting Glass At Home
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- In this video I'll be melting down old glass bottles and turning them into a giant glass ingot and custom coins. I tried a few different molds to melt the glass into. Graphite molds were tested first and they seemed to hold the best detail over the clay molds that were made next. The glass was broken down into tiny pieces and melted in the kiln.

It would be interesting to know the heat temp. and time, and the cool down schedule to relive internal stress to prevent shattering...
Here’s an idea. Get a bunch of bottles of all different colors smash them together and melt them. If you get a good balance (say 3 clear bottles to 1 amber bottle) you may end up with nice amber swirls in the coins.
Yeah man, you knocked it out of the park with those graphite mold coins. Those would look phenomenal hung from a leather or hemp necklace.
Thank you for the extra video 💪
A quick extra bonus video to keep you all entertained! I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching. See you all again on Thursday 👍🏻
Hello Adrock, you can teach how to make a graphite mold for aluminium please i need one but, i dont have money for buy please 🙂
Damn Adcock I'm surprised how good they turned out, great job ,would love to see u do some more things like that with glass
I plan on it in the near future.. I have some ideas already just haven’t gotten around to it yet 👍🏻
Never seen that kiln before... Is it new? Plz send link to it if possible
Great stuff mate that was awesome I wish I could get a Kiln . They came out great I was very surprise it’s just a shame the extreme heat of the kiln Much the same as a furnace will break down graphite molds super quick . 👊🏻😁🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thanks brotha 👍🏻 yeah the graphite is destroyed after about 2 uses 🤷🏻♂️ oh well 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Great idea with the clay, Pretty much primitive . Cool idea
You could have ground down the graphite and use them as a mold release like BigstackD does.
That's a good idea
I mean if he needs it he would he sell molds so he has a lot
Those are really cool looking especially being made of glass
As a man who hates his job ( I work in a glass factory), I am impressed! Great work!
They look absolutely awesome.
Maybe try clear or light green or blue glass
😊
Awesome artwork. Could you let me know what is the name of material for the molding
You have your hands in all types of melting stuff - cool! Stay safe.
Hello. Great job. But here is a few ideas to have fun with glass melting. Use clear glass but when the glass gets to the melting poing. Sprinkle blue or red glass tinny pieces and watch them melt. Or use a darker glass for eyes mouth. Before you put the main body of glass into the coin molds
Now that was different, I'd love it if the coins had a small hole in them so you could hang them up and make a little wind chime or just hang them on the wall or something. Very creative, and a nice way to upcycle the bottles.
I’ve always thought that glass ingots were real
And they are!
Well that was different, very cool indeed
Another idea. If you get clear glass and mix in some colbult. You will have that blue glahss they use to use in the past
I know the crucible don't have any wax in them like pencil graphite, but do they still mark paper?
If they do, I bet you could make some epic art out of those scraps
Fun!!
Dude where ya been!!! BTW, check out "Thewulf 56". He did something you tried a while back, think you might like it.
Cool glass coins buddy!
That ingot is pretty dope too!
I think you should try to make a set of your own shot glasses!
Shouldn't be too hard to make clay molds for that.
Thanx for a great new idea for videos Adam! :D
Thanks buddy! I think that could be a fun thing to try and do for sure 👍🏻
Nice !!!!!! 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
Craftsman!!
glass wont stick to stell
Super awesome I was like how is he gonna do this? No way... dang wowzerz look at that 😳... awesome sauce!!
Absolutely love it! I was thinking of trying it in my furnace but didnt want to destroy my crucible...
Well done on those graphite ones.. there's a heap of potential there.
Thanks for doing the glass melt, looks amazing.
Very cool Adam!
How hot does it have to get in order for the glass to melt? I wanna try this now after seeing this awesome video. You always have the coolest stuff going on in these videos bro.
Glass melts between 1400c - 1600c (2500f - 2900f). The electric kiln is nicely controlled. Glass needs care to control it how you wish.
A well built wood fire can be around 1100c (2000f). Not hot enough to melt glass, but enough to make it "slump." That is to say, a bottle will flatten in the hottest part of a campfire, or crushed glass might "slump" into a form.
annealing is the key with glass - a long slow cool down process to let the glass crystals align. otherwise weeks or months from now for no resewn glass will just pop. Used to stretch coke bottle with a kiln back in collage, could get them close to 2 feet long - was fun and everyone wanted them. till they started to shatter because we cooled them down to fast when we tried to speed up the process. It was our professor that figured it out.
I was expecting this from you or bigD, now it's done.
Glass melting.
Keep it up Adam!
nice ...cool to see a glass melt also
Bravo
Very nice change of pace
Could you use those molds for metal
The glass melt was a real nice diversion from your norm & I really liked it. I'm curious: how many pours can you get out of a graphite coin mold before you start seeing a loss in detail? Am guessing the ingot molds last a lot longer since they have smooth sides.
This was fun, you should do it again some day.
Amazing how to melt things
Hi, please share at what temperature you melted the glass and for how long you put it in the oven?
I love your videos man keep up the good work
A man of many talents! The glass came out great!
ADAM THIS WAS A VARY INTERESTING VIDEO TOTALLY DIFFERENT and that Kiln u got is 1 of the new toys I seen in last weeks video they turned out vary nice I like how ur doing different things instead of doing only 1 kind of melt is there anything u cant do lol 🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍🇨🇦😎👍
What type of clay did you use and what was the pink liquid you painted on, please? Very interesting process 😊
That was very fun to see! Wish i had a kiln like that to make some glass art. I might use an old crucible one day to melt some glass in the furnace though 🔥🔥🔥
Cool ingots, thank you for the awesome video
Glass Ingot was cool, but could you shape it? or would you just use it to melt to make something else?
Very cool!
Yay u did it ,thanks bro
Nice. Something different.
The first batch of glass coins look awesome
next time try with all colored glass
Those came out looking awesome
That's so cool never seen glass melted like that, your video are some of my favorite . I look forward to them so thank my man and HAPPY BIRTHDAY by the way!!
Thank you 🙏
for the graphite molds you want to use lampworked glass and not kiln fused glass, i have some graphite molds that have lasted 1000+ uses with lampworked glass and dont lose their form or off gas. kiln firired glass is hard to get tight detail rather than pressed hot glass. you should give it a try if you already have the kiln and molds, you just need a proper glass torch
Pretty cool video
Beautiful work, great to see how molds are made.
Pretty cool man
Interesting. Would like to se the light Shine through. Would be cool to se å lot of glass coins,in white, brown,Green, blue,red etc backlit in a window,to se how the light Shine throu an casting light on the wall or floor.
How cool
THATS AWESOME!!!!! WAY BETTER THAN MY LIGHT IDEA!!!!!!!
That was a pretty cool change of pace. Interesting to see what you can create with the right equipment. Appreciate you sharing the video and it turned out very well. Thanks again and stay safe.
Looks Great! I'd like to see clear and green glass!
that was awesome
Россияне тут есть???))). Всем привет и не болеть!!!)))..........
That's pretty cool!! I think I like the big glass ingot the best!!
Have a GREAT Day!!!
Sweet glass coins! Something new
That’s cool 👍
Nice, something a bit different this week! And confusing my poor feeble mind, I know it is a bonus, but its not wednesday!
Dang man that’s awesome
Those turned out awesome!
That was great! Please more glass!
Bet that would look really cool with green or even blue glass
Cool video, always wondered about melting glass
That’s awesome! That was an excellent idea. I like seeing you try new things. I’ll have to give this a go
I'd love so have some of those coin molds for my own forging I only use the standard ingot molds
awesome vid!,👍 have u ever tried to make a sphere in your kiln?
Something different for a change! very interesting there Ad. another great video there. Keep up the good work and Stay safe.
It would be nice to have some information about anything that’s going on. Heat , time etc...
That was really cool Adrock.
Totally thinking outside the box brother. Does the first I've ever seen. Love everything you do man. I'd love to get my hands on one of those glass coins. Greetings from Phelan California.
Well, guess I'll go grab a beer too!
Awsome video like the diffrent video my friend
Good work, but what was the temperatura that melts Glass?
Can you please tell me the machine name and cost , please reply
It’s a Kiln
What make and model of Kiln are you using looks sweet
Maybe the graphite ones were better because you had more glass powder in them, allowing the fine particles to melt faster and flow into the crevices.
Really cool. I always enjoy your videos.
Have you had any luck finding a mold material that holds the detail like the graphite, but without being destroyed so fast?
Clay will work the best if you can get a good mold out of it. It doesn’t break down like graphite does
Really cool. I have never seen glass molded like that. That furnace is awesome! Will that one get up to temp to melt copper and brass?
I like the glass ingot and thank you so much for the bonus video i dont know how much if a gussle oe so it would be to do the editing on the videos but i would image it would be a pain in the butt
I would like to know kiln's power consumption. I bet it is quite expensive to run this at home.
I’m not sure exactly what it is but my power bill doesn’t even change when I run it for 10 hours a day. I would guess it’s like leaving the tv on all day and not turning it off 🤷🏻♂️ not expensive at all
you didnt say anything about the cooling down period in order to keep it from shattering. Nor how high you had to bring up the temp in order to melt the glass
Thanks for the bonus, maybe some folks will be satisfied now. Lol
How's the dismantling of the aluminum yard art going? Can only imagine what the neighbors are or will be saying. Stay safe brother. Thanks
Try a more green or red or mardal
Next try some colored glass , maybe colbot blue
Hey this is something I would really really like to try and was wondering if you could tell me what kind of "forge" you were using to melt tue glass
What was the cool down time?
Those first coins came out better than I would have thought possible!
Did you have this kiln the whole time or is it a new acquisition?
I SURVIVED THE GREAT ..... XXXXXX XXXXXXX (toilet paper shortage?)
You can easily sell those and fetch a couple thousand dollars in cash for it. Turning bottles and household appliances into money is very good.
Never seen glass being melted like that before, cool!
Would clear glass remain clear? Alsorts of fun things spring to mind..lenses, cubes, prisms etc. You could smash some drinking glasses and make some drinking glasses!!😆
interesting turn of events, glass! The clay moulds had no powdered glass, possible loss of detail. How about different coloured glasses, and refinement of starting material, and fluxes.. Nice job, that furnace most of cost a few quid, stimulus cheque?
Chris Fryer uhm does he really have to report to his followers IF he got the stimulus check and how he spent it? I think that’s kind of rude. The dude is trying to build a reputation of his own an NOT be like everyone else and try diff things. He had a homemade burner forever. That goes to prove he don’t have money to just blow. Maybe he has earned a little extra from UA-cam to be able to buy something new to invest in his channel. Sorry but I can’t stand when someone seems to focus on how much someone makes or how someone spends their money.
@@latessaallison1228 Are you on your rags love?
Chris Fryer oh how gentleman of you... lol... most def not just stand for what I believe in guess your not used to that 🤷♀️😉
