Hey guys how is everyone this week? Super simple video with some corroded copper bars, everyone loves copper and it’s definitely one of my favourites to melt. Sit back relax and turn your brain off for the next 17 minutes and as I say in my description have a great weekend and I’ll see you all next week👍🏻😆
No words needed. No controversy. No politics. Just good old fashion hard working, playing with metal, heating, big boy toys, and beers. Playing all day long.
I love reciprocating saws. I once had the pleasure of demolishing a commercial greenhouse while working a summer job when I was 18. I took that building down in two days using a Milwaukee Sawzall, a Bobcat, tinsnips and a 10 lb. sledgehammer. I twice narrowly escaped serious injury because I no idea what I was doing. Good times!
There isn't a beer brand on earth who can figure out if a big burley tatted metal maniac with an angle grinder, two pugs, yellow socks and a My Little Pony ledger is not at all, or quite exactly, the stereo type they want associated with their brew :P Though come to think of it though... Tuborg Gold ads usually play into the surreal...
if anything we should have heaps of metal at this moment of time considering china isn't trading with us perfect opportunity to get some good high grade aussie metals for us to use
@@southaussiegarbo2054 dam that's crazy I remember when steel in fl was $13 $14 a a ton everyone was scrapping it blew up then died down real quick tho lol. But I got a bunch of copper I need to strip tho right now in fl where I'm at coppers $2.13 clean number 1 copper.
I get out enjoyment out of 1:10 “Crucible” clearly spellchecked before putting it in whilst using the word 1000x times over. Thats the spirit and the fact you have kept that for over 800k subs is insane! Keep being you, keep being the best!
Most people think Friday is the end of the week, for me its the start of the weekend and THIS is the right start I needed, no Boss yet, cuppa T and a Biscuit...Bliss!!!
Just found this channel a few days ago. I love it. both in the ASMR sense and the metallurgy sense as well. clearing the slag and making molds. all the little things. Got a new fan.
Cheers matey I’m glad you like it👌🏻. New videos every Friday at the same time but depending on where you are in the world it could be the middle of the night, and be sure to check out what you’ve missed only when you have some spare time as there’s definitely some good ones back there👊🏻😁🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
I smelt gold as a living in a gold mine. I reccommed you use some flux such as borax, soda ash and silica it will reduce the amount time the metals take to melt down and protect them from oxidisation.
@@hakapik683 That bar was $34 worth of copper and only a couple dollars worth of gas to melt it. But, as already stated, the money comes from the video itself. Definitely a worthwhile endeavor.
I have thought about copper and brass. The board I was going to make it out of oak and cedar. I have just not settled on a theme. Of course my dream board would be silver and gold with a dark walnut with a white oak. I'd have to have Big Stacks money to pull that off.
I have been binge watching your videos. All amazing. Must take a lot of time in editing as well as the work itself in melting and casting. Incredible what you share with us
With over a thousand comments and more than 3/4 of a million subs then I doubt if are able to see even half of the comments! But I just want to say how proud I am to know you and thru Ewaste Ben we met when you had less than 20,000 subs! I've been able to watch you grow to this magnitude in less than 3 years!! It's quite incredible!! Have a Great Day My Friend!!! P.S. I hope if you do see this that you'll know who I am because I did change my profile picture!
I just want to let you know I've been a subscriber to your channel for a little while now but your videos are one of the best highlights of my entire week, I make it a point to try and keep what I'm going to guess is the same beer as you have around to cheers every time I watch your videos. I just wanted to say thank you, and to let you know that I appreciate all the effort and thought you put into even the simplest videos. Wish you all the best and happy melting.
Simple? Simply brilliant! Nice work bruv. Whenever you do a copper melt I always look to see if you can duplicate that rolling effect in the crucible you got several videos ago. Thanks again for the time and craft brü. Slaintè
So this guy's collection is probably worth somewhere around $2-10,000 USD, which is quite a chunk of change. But the real goldmine is always in adbucks, as he's no doubt made hundreds of thousands of dollars by making these videos. Smart man.
@@commanderpeacekeeper937 Depends where you are. For instance, in a village in Africa, what would they want to use that metal for? $2 is being generous
@@perrybb2 your right, but on the other hand, they would be able to use them as throwing implements. knock out a few tourists.... worth its weight in gold....literally
Hello there big stack, today i have done my first polished aluminum ingot it turned out pretty good not as cool as yours though but im still a beginner, tomorrow i will be trying copper again if the weather permits, wouldnt of been able to do it wothout your inspiring videos! Keep it up brother! I look forward to future melts!
@bigstackD Casting I as well am expecting a furnace this week. Mainly for copper but did you and Matthew here use borax? Research says add a teaspoon to prevent oxidization. I'd rather reach out and personally ask somebody who's done this than rely on the internet. Any tips as well I in advance thank you.
I miss drinking coffee... I quit about a year back when I got sick flinging out how much I needed it and how much worse I felt because it. Good old caffeine, I was drinking 12 cups in 1 hour for years with sugar and cream added too them. Lost weight and feel better now however mmmmm coffee. Love the video great as always and the green fire looked really cool too
Sorry but you weren’t drinking coffee. You could call it “cake” with coffee. 😂 Too sweet too creamy. No wonder you lost weight. I guess you are American. You guys don’t really know coffee.
Thanks bud. I haven't poured any copper in quite a long time. Silver has been keeping me busy. This gave me a fresh idea for a pour. Thanks again eh. Beware old 40's pennies, LOL.
I’m glad you like it my friend and welcome aboard, I’ll do a new video every Friday. And when you get some spare time definitely check out what you’ve missed as there some pretty good ones back there😁👍🏻
Turned out pretty good, laughed when you taped the koozie to the beer and i even watch all the ads cause you're a youtuber who deserves it, keep it up and thanks for the video.
Will you please put that polishing wheel out of it's misery 😂 Frame it and mount it on the wall in recognition of it's length of service. And then buy a new one 🤣🤣🤣🤣 As always, big love to the boys! x
I really enjoy your channel, but especially love the sand casts! I know they're probably a big pain in the ass but from what I can see the end result is always so much more rewarding. Thanks for doing what you do and sending you some of this cold air down from Atlanta.
The secret is out. Here in NC, people are constantly getting busted for breaking into businesses...especially restaurants and abandoned buildings looking for copper. Every other day it is in the news.
Drug addicts aren't that intelligent if they were they would realize all they have to do is put an ad up online saying free scrap removal and next thing you know you're flooded with messages many of which are offering items that you simply have to take apart to get quite a bit of copper. Same goes with catalytic converters there's a lot of people out there who have junk Vehicles they just want gone no need to go into a parking lot with a battery-powered angle grinder and risk getting arrested or even shot
Hey Bigstack! Me again. Sorry for being a bit late to comment, friend. Anyway, i hope you're doing well, and your family too. Thanks for posting another video for us, i speak for all your fans when i say we look forward to this every week, so keep it up! Goodbye for now, friend!
At this point I’m wondering when you will fabricate a vehicle, structure, or suit of armor from the contents of the shelves, or if it is some sort of retirement plan. What’s the endgame for that target 1 ton collection?
são 5 da manhã aqui no brasil e eu me encontro aqui nesse vídeo, muito bom por sinal... amo seu canal e seu conteúdo, sempre espero por mais vídeos seus, só acho que você deveria fazer mais uns suportes para suportar o peso das prateleiras de cima, igual como fez em baixo, porque já esta envergando bastante kkkkkkk ( it's 5 am here in Brazil and I find myself here in this video, very good by the way ... I love your channel and its content, I always hope for more of your videos, I just think you should make some more supports to support the weight of top shelves, just like you did below, because you are already wearing a lot kkkkkkk)
Great how-to video that I can work with... and, I'm from Texas and occasional beer breaks during work are also mandatory. Another reason I like Aussies!
Great job this week. Your editing keeps getting better and better. As a sound guy I am curious of what your setup is for audio. I will be setting up a large high quality sound system up in a few weeks and look forward to playing a few of your videos on it.

I smelt gold as a living in a gold mine. I reccommed you use some flux such as borax, soda ash and silica it will reduce the amount time the metals take to melt down and protect them from oxidisation.
from what l read 40 years ago.....
those chemicals reduce the gas bubbles that form while pouring.
So l agree with Engineer
Are there different fluxes for different materials? aluminum, copper, silver, gold?
Thanks for sharing great video oh and I love your dogs, they are too cute
He collects precious metals and monetizes the refining process, this individual is an absolute genius!!! :D
No precious metals. And he spent more on gas to melt the copper into a bar than the scrap copper is worth.
@@hakapik683 I think he means the UA-cam video
@@hakapik683 That bar was $34 worth of copper and only a couple dollars worth of gas to melt it. But, as already stated, the money comes from the video itself. Definitely a worthwhile endeavor.

@@gedhuffadine1873 you seems to need more English lessons.
How many times have you looked at your neighbours caravan and thought "Hmmmm, I could melt that!"
It would be a broken down caravan, I’m sure it would be more like, If only I could melt that!
Imagine making chess pieces made out of aluminum and out of copper.
@Miloš Đošić
As they are being forged, perhaps a hot sticky mess.
I have thought about copper and brass. The board I was going to make it out of oak and cedar. I have just not settled on a theme. Of course my dream board would be silver and gold with a dark walnut with a white oak. I'd have to have Big Stacks money to pull that off.
that would be neato
3D print them in PLA, should come out nicely with some heat. Then put in the hot metal.
Oh snap badass idea!
