  • Hey guys how is everyone going on this nice laid back Friday? Today is just a bit of fun to see how much aluminium is in this 5ft ladder my friend gave me to melt down. I got a great haul of bars and skulls from this ladder to help me on my way to 1000 kgs. Once i actually hit that target im really not to sure where to go from then but itll take me a few years at least so im not going anywhere soon. For People that want to help support the channel without donating can do so simply with a bit of time so i tell them by allowing the ads to play through this will help out alot and that’s how I make a bit extra revenue and the good thing is more revenue means more giveaways👊🏻😄. A better way to support the channel is play one of my playlists on your computer before you walk away from it and let it play through that really helps as well but don’t ever feel as though you need to watch the ads if you don’t want to simply skip them and move into the video it’s completely up to you and I understand if you don’t have the time to do so👌🏻and like I always say if you like the rings shown and used in this video be sure to check out the description where you can get 20% off the already discounted rings using my code and if you want to try your hand at melting yourself you can buy the burner on its own or the whole furnace set up and I can organize a 5% link for you off the total furnace price just email me on bigstackddddd@mail.com 😁👍🏻.

    HOW TO MIRROR FINISH A BAR
    I start with an 80 grit flap disc on my angle grinder then I use my drill with 50 mm round sanding discs . I start with 150 grit then go through the following Grits 240-400-800 Then once I get to the following Grits I use a small squirt of WD-40 1200-1500-2000-2500-3000. The WD40 helps to lubricate the discs and stops the sanding disk binding up with the metal powder . Then after that I use my buffer wheel on my bench grinder to get a perfect mirrored finish on it??????.
    ****************************************************
    STEEL FOR MY FRIEND
    I keep all my steel and cast iron pieces and I give them to my friend and once he gets about a tonne from me and his own collecting he takes that to the scrapyard and sells it then he buys some beer and comes over to my house and we make a night of it.
    No My friend doesn’t have a UA-cam channel he just scraps metal in his spare time.

    How are all my awesome subscribers going on this quiet laid-back Friday I’m experiencing? Happy and healthy I hope. Today nothing too exciting just melting down a ladder as my friend upgraded to a bigger one and never uses it so what better way than to melt it down and stack it on the shelf😁. I hope everyone enjoys the video as the bar in the picture came out absolutely awesome and there’s also extra bars and more of the skull coins so check it out. And most importantly have a happy safe weekend my friends and see you all next Friday we’re hopefully I can do a Halloween themed video if all goes as planned👍🏻 Now if you wanna help support the channel just by donating some time simply allowing the ads to play through this will help out alot and that’s how I make a bit extra revenue and the good thing is more revenue means more giveaways👊🏻😄.

      I like the way that he takes melted ice, and turns in back into ice ingots to cool the liquid metal. I like the format, I like seeing the dogs and get a kick outta the ingot on ice thing, and it makes me happy when he sits down after a 'hard' day at the furnace and has a nice refreshing Aussie beer, in front of the flag.

      Lol, more like drop to their knees under it. A gold bar alone is nearly 10 pounds, that's a God dam sack of potatoes. There's a reason why we have so few restrictions at the plant for forging Gold bullion, a solid mass of 87 pounds of gold is a lot harder to steal than in the movies.

      I should mention that the stuff is so dense compared to its surface area, that even stacked evenly in the back compartment of a van, you'll break the axles trying to fit those 87 pound ingots in there up to 2000lbs.
      And if you drive faster than 60 kilometers an hour, those bars are all sliding out the back without a reinforced steel frame/door.

    @An_Average_Arsonist 3 роки тому +9

    Working with aluminum is especially annoying, its prone to cracking, warping, and creasing if you try to forge an ingot.
    this is because as the core cools, aluminum is so light its prone to form an internal convection current, as the hot liquid cycles with the "cooler" liquid ever so slightly. It warps, cracks or creases the dam ingots, which is why industry aluminum prefers to store them as drum spun sheets.
    You can get around it by finishing the cooling process with an ice bath, but too soon and the ingots crack, warp, of fuggin crease, and too late, you may as well have done nothing at all.
    (creasing is when the internal separate hot and cooler liquids get to the semi solid state, and one side becomes fully solid 20-30 seconds before the other, the still liquid side pushes on the solid, and the solid forms ridges on the bottom of the ingot.)
    The irony is that aluminum is best stored as an ingot since the larger its surface area the more material will oxidize in reaction to the air, which makes drum spun aluminum significantly more brittle when reforging, as the impurities (aluminum oxide) tamper with your output.
    The only reason we even work with this hellspawn is because of how common, durable, light and resistant to corrosion it is.

      @bigstackD  3 роки тому +5

      Yes I have answered it quite a few times but I don’t mind answering each time as I get that many comments New subscribers that aren’t quite sure why I don’t. I simply can’t melt steel because the furnace doesn’t get hot enough and even if it did all I would do was make a bunch of steel coins and then I would probably never melt steel again. I really have no interest in collecting anything in steel but steel coins would be pretty cool and I would need to cover them in clear acrylic spray paint so they don’t rust but that’s basically the main reason. In the future I will definitely do a steel alloy where I mix steel with aluminium or copper or something else to see what that ingot looks like but for now I’ll just continue what I’m doing👌🏻😁
