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.

Copper Dust Melt Down - Trash To Treasure - ASMR Metal Melting - Copper Casting BigStackD Bullion - Розваги
Hey there all you beautiful people how are you all this week? A lot of people were asking about the dust from the 461 kg motor meltdown I did two weeks ago so today I will melt that dust down and turn it into an awesome Copper Bullion Bar. So sit back relax and check out the video and as always have an awesome weekend and see you all next Friday😁👌🏻.
First
🍻 cheers
I only found you a few weeks ago. Have been binging like crazy. New highlight of my week. Cheers.
🥰❤❤🥰
Hi, I really appreciate the weekly video drops. Look forward to watching them with the kids
I absolutely love your zero waste policy. You melt and scrape and remelt until you've extracted every last speck of usable metal, and I respect that.
I think I've figured out why I love these vids so much: It appeals to a very draconic fantasy. Fire, treasure, and a big glittering hoard. Loved it as always.
all those things without the danger of Smaug.
And the feast in between.

I swear your subtitles are like videogames loading screen tips:
"Cardboard under crucible stop Fire bricks sticking"
I love it

Has no one ever commented on this man's extensive collection of colorful and hilarious socks? _I cannot be the only one to notice the socks!!_
No, no, I noticed the socks too. XD
I love the socks.
Men might notice socks, but not comment on them.
Just kidding.
I am glad to say I am the same with my socks. I have at LEAST 200 pairs of socks plus all types of variation footies as I call them. If you’re a sock lover why not wear the awesome long ass colorful socks 🤗😁 or short. Ive got both obviously 😆
His socks are a fun touch to his vids
“babe, wake up, new bigstackd upload”
Go to sleep
Babe: if you wake me up out of my sleep for a UA-cam video ever again that will be the last time I spend the night.
Cheer babe I'm up 👍
@@ThePrufessa my wife right there
Babe you've got to let go the crash was 3 years ago, it wasn't your fault
I used to just watch these whenever, but lately it's become something I look forward to every Friday. I'm watching all the old ones in reverse now too. It was really cute seeing Bullion get smaller every week. I passed Ingot's 1st birthday recently, so he should start shrinking any time now 😁
It is just simply so satisfying to watch the dust turn into something so beautiful
These videos are the definition of Relaxing. No shouting, demanding to like and subscribe, no bullshit thumbnail, no flashy music (other then the beautiful sound of the forge). Just re-lax-ation! Love it! Need it. Want more of it!
It is just simply so satisfying to watch the dust turn into something so beautiful
Yes, but after skimming the slag like 5 or 6 times. That's the problem with dust. It's extremely dirty.
@@VenomStryker indeed lol
You've nailed it. He's turning crap into shiny. Always a good thing!
It is just simply so satisfying to watch the dust turn into something so beautiful
I know that it's hard work, but something about watching you do it is so satisfying, and seeing all the breaks throughout the process are well earned. I'm hooked!
It is just simply so satisfying to watch the dust turn into something so beautiful
It isn't work if you like doing it.
I hate that I wasn't watching these from the beginning. I found you at about half way between 500 - 600 kilos. I found it very exciting to see you pass the 600 mark. And now I'm getting jacked to see you almost passing 700! I look forward to these videos every week. I'm with you until the end!
I wanna see it the whole lot melted into a massive ingot
same xD
I found him at like 500k subs wish I was there from the beginning to tho
I've been with him since he had about 40k followers and seen every video, it's worth the watch, I promise you! Especially the progress in quality and technique!
My dad had talked about this channel and I didn't really pay it any mind until it popped up in my recommended one day and then I started binge watching. All I watched for almost 2 weeks straight was BigstackD and slot of time I had free. 😅 The copper melts are always my favorite. I enjoy when he gets fancy and makes a mold but nothing beats a bar of shining copper. 😊 Glad I got in when I did, though! I can't wait to see what happens at 1 tonne! 😎🤙
Good one big D! I’ve tried melting dust before too and it’s crazy how much dross there is to skim. I have a theory that it’s actually oxides forming because of the large surface area of the small particles. I think if you could heat and melt without oxygen present you would get a better yield. So a crucible with a tight fitting lid and a little charcoal thrown in to use up the oxygen. It’s an experiment I’ve been intending to try for awhile. One of us will try it eventually. 😂
Induction Furnace experiment time
Use smaller amounts of dust to start the melt with a lid on the crucible then add more dust gradually to the liquid will help cut down on the dross
You are correct, it's oxides. It's probably already too late to prevent their formation after the metal is dust, however. Copper (I) oxide will decompose to oxygen and copper at 1800C, so you could get it up there and burn off the dross and recover the copper. I'm actually not sure how possible that is with these furnaces.
@@dansands8140 The dust needs to be covered by charcoal dust to prevent oxygen pick up and molten metal need to be covered by carbon black
As a foundry man of 15 years I can tell you that We never remelt dressing waste for this very reason...we just collect it and sell it by the ton to be reprocessed at the proper facility’s.sometimes a new kid will try to fill in the gaps on a freshly loaded crucible lol.it takes forever to clean after that.more dross than metal at the end of the day
I just realised today that I’ve always looked at Australia as a country where it’s never windy or that it never rains, don’t know why buy here we are.
Some very nice content you create, keep up the good work.
Happy days 🇦🇺
I love that you don't seem to let anything go to waste. I also love how you log every bit of what goes into a furnace and what comes out, including the mass lost to dust from sanding. I've been subbed for a while and can really see how well your editing skills have improved!
And another of these highly therapeutic, soothing and yet educational vids! Melting solids into liquid and watch them freeze again, those gorgeous green flames from the copper, the cold shower of the iceblocks, and of course those lovely mugs of Bullion and Ingot....
All excellent stuff to ease our minds into the weekend 😀👍
Cheers from Holland!!
Best comment ever. Cheers from GA, USA

So, with the tank freezing that's a sign you're pulling too much to quick, get a bigger tank or a manifold to pull off of two tanks simultaneously, it will also burn more efficient. 😉

The third pour was a nice shot with the dark background and light of the copper. And still loving the side view of the ice !
It’s just simply awesome watching you break and melt stuff down. It’s also jaw dropping seeing how much you’ve accumulated on that shelf!
Any person who loves their animals the way you do is a very decent good hooman in my books! Love your videos!
I absolutelly love how you don't waste a single drop of anything really ! It is SUCH a refreshing change of pace from so many others who waste so damn much

Windy stormy day outside, perfect day to melt some copper and watch Goodfellas in the garage 👍👍👍
One of the few channels I give a thumbs up before I even watch it.
Wow, I just discovered this channel a few days ago, and I'm loving it! I love how you are so meticulous in your cleanup/recycling efforts while also being highly efficient in organization and planning. Also, Ingot and Bullion are adorable :)
Congratulations on 325 episodes mate!! Love the content, makes me feel inspired. Always enjoy watching you melt.
I like when you do the copper wire melts cause it’s almost no slag and looks smooth in the crucible. :)
I always love a bigstackD melt … this was another good one. Took me by surprise when I saw the Vegas Knights T-Shirt (singlet in ‘down under’ speak) then yet another surprise with a magical instantaneous switch right in the middle of sanding/polishing, with what I think was a Golden State Warrior T-Shirt! Cheers from West Coast USA
Every time I see Sackboy it makes me so happy. God I miss playing those games. Great video as usual!
It looks as if metal powder tends to grip on to various other elements while reducing itself into finer states. Thank you. Informative.
Thanks for another awesome melt. Your reuse technique is great. Not only the dust but even the water. So many people would have just dumped it. Your the man BigstackD.
What a lovely ingot! And that ASMR ice crunch was (chef's kiss).
i would say you transformed that dust nicely. also love watching the metals solidify
Hmm need to get you a 'switchable' magnet, which can be 'pricey' but would help with a bit of the mess (although the plastic and magnet in it works well for near free also!!)
Nah. It's not expensive. He's got everything to build an electromagnet there in his garage. A coil of wire, a large steel core, and a battery charger it all it takes. OK, BigStack. Here's how to build one. Wind several hundred turns of insulated wire (14-18 AWG) around a large steel core. Leave some lead length at each end of the winding. Cover the core with a ziplock (or make it fit into a plastic cup or something). Attach the ends of the core to a battery charger and you have an electromagnet. Bonus! Put one of those pushbuttons you find in an industrial enclosure in line with the coil. Contacts in those switches should be able to handle 20 Amps. You only need a 5 amp charger.
@@icondonnied I don't think he can withstand melting those cables and coils, bro...
There are switchable permanent magnets too.
It is just simply so satisfying to watch the dust turn into something so beautiful
I love all the melt downs you do there very relaxing to watch. 😊
Gettin all fancy with the camera work
An interesting experiment to run to possibly get rid of the casting imperfections, would be to heat the graphite mold to a cherry red then pour the copper into it. I think the cast quality in your previous video's were better when the mold you were using for multiple casts was a dull red colour. May help? Great video as always!
It is just simply so satisfying to watch the dust turn into something so beautiful
Loved how the bar sunk into the big ice block.. bang! Transformer explosion!!
I’ve watched this video at lease 3 or 4 times. Something about the dust videos, scrap metal or slag ones with no music and no talking are awesome. 😃👍
I'm so glad that youtube recommended your videos to me a few weeks ago. I've been watching it all the time. Thanks for the quality content, I love absolutely everything of it! Keep up with your amazing work, you are awsome. And sorry for any grammar mistakes 😅 Hugs from Brasil 🇧🇷 🍻

Great video. Can’t believe how much of a pain the dust is to clean up
Loved seeing “The Basement Yard” playing in the background. One of my favorites too.
Thanx for a great pour!
But a dusty one for sure!
Tried a few times, and then success!
Came out fantastic!
And the clean-up was minimal :O
Thanx for a great vid D! :D
The Boys are sniffing the bar and thinking and saying to each other "can you imagine when he hits a tonne all the food and toys he's going to buy for us!" Those faces looking at you when you turn around, strait ham's man.😁 Another awesome Friday video, Thank You BSD!
Yeah watch the adverts like me

When you smashed that ice block with a brick, I swear I heard some guy saying "woooooow", only to realize at the third time hearing it that it was probably just a cow mooing. Nevertheless, another great casting video.
That may have been a crow actually
@@someoneudontknow3709 I thought cow as well, but who the hell has a cow in a nice suburban neighborhood like that?
@@bobfisterburger1085 Crow, a bird that males that "caaaaaw caaaaaaw caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw" sound.
What a morning, rain and 57 degrees (14 C ) here in Michigan. For the first time ever instead of watching a BigstackD video within an hour of its release I'm 5 hours late. ( slept like a baby though) It was almost like I knew it would be a struggle to get that copper bar into the proper form without deformities throughout! But in the end it is BigstackD and the copper bar emerged eloquent and Lustrous
Polished to perfection! Another great melt Video!
Have a great day everyone!
I love this melt and bar in particular because you cleaned it up on all sides instead of the usual leaving 1 ugly side. Always wondered why that was.
Please do a small chest of gold (brass) coins. Would be epic to see.
He can make some nordic gold. That looks awsome as well.
I thought he already done that 🤔

BIGGY FANTASTIC JOB MATE. I always enjoy the dust melts but why so much slag from the dust
👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦👍😎🇨🇦
Ingot and Bullion, laying in the lap of luxury, lmfao!! The one, the only, the legend, BIGSTACKD!! Thank you brother, for your awesome videos and hard work to entertain your many, many viewers!!
At 10:50, it sounds like a kookaburra bird was saying "Wow!", when you smashed the ice block.
Actually it was an Australian Raven, we just call them Crows, The strange thing is I’ve got Five massive trees in my neighbours yards right next to me and I’ve never once caught the laugh of a kookaburra. I’ve been walking with my dogs daily for the last year and I’ve only heard a kookaburra maybe four times in a year which is crazy. I live right next to the bush so I would think I would hear them all the time but apparently not🤷🏻♂️
With the current (10/15/21) spot price of copper over $4 USD, it would be interesting to calculate the total value of all the copper you have accumulated so far.
G'Day to my Aussie friend from a Yank in Napa, CA!! I continue to be fascinated by your skills and knowledge of smelting. I cannot wait to see what happens when you hit one tonne!!
We come every Friday for the melts *like* for the ice block smashes and we stay for the puppers!! 🐶👌👌
Those molds you have appear to have smooth sides and bottoms, so why do most of the pours end up with those imperfections in the sides and the bottom? I would think that they would be as smooth as the mold. If it's because of impurities, is there a way to remove all of the impurities before you pour?
He's already taking out the slag as best he can. Another reason is air being trapped and irregular times it takes for the change back from being molten
@@MrTohawk *nods* from what i know about metallurgy all of this is accurate, also if i have this right it is very hard to get a perfect bar unless you have some fancy industrial grade equipment, or atleast with some it is aluminum seems to be easy if you ignore the dent that forms due to cooling shrinkage
edit a solution could be hotter metal so further above the melting point, and the pour, flow rate, where it lands in the mold ect
A lot of it is shrinkage and some of it is from boiling that puts pits from the bubbling in the bottom. Sometimes a tiny bit of moisture isn't burned out of the mold so it'll pop and leave a cavity. I'd like to see how federal foundries work and what they do to negate it when it comes to national bullion stores.
It is just simply so satisfying to watch the dust turn into something so beautiful
Its just the air being trapped, it is an extremely irritating thing that happens which can only really be avoided with powerful industrial grade vacuum chambers or you know... casting and recasting until you get lucky I guess havent seen the former done by home based casters yet, have seen the latter tho lmao
Bigstack just a idea from someone who doesn't melt but it seems like when you go to pour the molten metal and it hardens and you have that gap on the bottom that you dislike. Maybe it's from when you preheat your molds and that spot heats up more than the rest? Just a thought it looks to be in the general area all the time, try evenly heating the mold and see if you can get it to pour right more consistently
Gotta love that putting the cylinder in water warms up the LPG. Then again it's at -150 degrees.
Love the content, beautiful work. Thanks for sharing your art.
How do you get a bar with a perfectly smooth surface, no freeze lines or anything?
Do you have to cast a larger version first, then trim it down?
It is just simply so satisfying to watch the dust turn into something so beautiful
Its just experience, using the right mold, keeping the copper at the right tempeture, heating the mold before pouring etc, but no he doesnt cast it large then trim it down
Random question, is that mannequin staring at you the entire time you work? (16:00) Second question, does that freak you out? This is a fantastic video regardless lmao
It is just simply so satisfying to watch the dust turn into something so beautiful
i look up to you i do casting and much more just like you. im only 16 but i also just atarted my channel and been doing metal work for 4 years now. thank you for teaching me so much its such a blessing i was al your videos
Looks about time for another shelf support... Keep it up! Been watching for over a year now, never missed a vid.
I wonder if there's a world record for most smelted metal bars in one day 🤔
Yeah I wonder as well...Read more
Two questions as someone who has never used propane before:
1-Why does the gas bottle freeze?
2-Why is it an issue?
1. The propane tank freezes due to massive amounts of gas being released from the container. The release lowers the temperature inside the tank.
2. That is a problem because it can slow or stop the flow of propane from the tank. Putting it in water warms it because the water is warmer than the tank and water has a resistance to temperature changes.
Liquids expanding and turning into a gas usually causes tons of heat loss (kind of like how sweating cools us off).
If it freezes, it doesn't want to flow.
At least that's what I heard my subconscious say while I was dissociating while looking into a mirror.
@@brokemage1395 Thanks!
@@ILEFTCAPS0N Thanks!
@@DGF2099 Propane is not as bad for this as butane. Propane has a boiling point of minus 42 C, but butane boiling point is only minus one C. I remember a butane camping stove being almost unusable in cold weather.
I am happy to see this video. I have about 20 lb of copper dust, and adding more each day, from cutting transformers and stators. I have been trying to figure out how to clean it and melt it.
Wow - that Cooper Dust gave You a Great Melt and gave You a 1kg Bullion Bar - the Boys thought You give them Food and NO you showed them Your new Bar - ha ! Another very Successful Video - we love it and Blessings from us in QLD !!!!
It’s a fascinating thought hw investors pull through this in the investments space When stocks n coin at a time Inflate and deflate without notice, lol for me I would have had a cardiac arrest longtim!!!😂
urgh 🥴 I see comment mention’s on hw people grab multi-figures monthly as income in invstmts even in this crazy market’s always winds me down to ask the question like “How”, becoos it all seem like the same story frm a book.

why is watching a dude turn solid stuff into a liquid, just to make that liquid into a shiny solid so entertaining
Well I learned how to tell the difference between a good pour and a bad pour and I’m now able to tell what’s better, love this channel
Love the smashing of the ice! Everything else really. I subscribed after the first vid i saw a few weeks ago. Awesome stuff! Thanks! Health and happiness!👍👍
That ice melt! Pure satisfaction, 10 out of 10!
(The bar turned out amazing too)
I came across this video randomly on UA-cam but you're definitely getting a like the amount of attention paid to your puppies! 🥰
My Friday morning fix!!! I made my wife watch it this morning. 530am our time.
Back in the day I worked in a hot glass studio. We would use Argon gas in a torch set really low. We would "smoke" our molds creating a thin layer of carbon in the mold. Nothing ever stuck when we demolded
Having a rain day on a Friday and starting it off with Mr Big it don't get any better than that
that "done melting, time for beer" shot tho!!! 10/10 cheers ozzy!
The Copper dust is a lot more work. I thought it would melt quicker and be easier to melt. But it wasn't. This is where you can see that you are very skilled at doing this kind of work. Thank you for sharing.
Wow...that is a ton of work to refine dust! Looks like the ultimate recycling program...:)
Your work very2 best!!.. I am so happy to watch your our videos.. This all knowledge for me.. Thanks man..
Drilling the hole into the ice gave me a good chuckle
Welcome to bigstackD. Where NOTHING goes to waste.
Love the fact that you reuse almost everything. Nothing of value goes to waste. Cheers
Copper is the best metal, it has so many uses.
Right there at the door to 700 kilos! So close to goal! Should I be this excited for metallic ingots? Depends on who you ask, but if you're asking me, turning scrap into beautiful pieces of art and near pure elemental ingots is awesome! Keep it up, Bigstack!
I know you gotta do you man, but I wish would keep the flaws on those bars, that’s what makes them so beautiful and unique. Either way though I love your videos, they’re a nice way to relax.
I eat my dinner watching your channel.
First thing I said I wanted to be in Kindergarten was a blacksmith. Grew up casting metal in a foundry & ended up a glassblower by trade.
Close enough, I guess?
I keep falling asleep during this what an interesting life mr d
I was watching this guy back when he had 400k look how far my boy has come
For some reason I always love to see the glowing powder from the sanding grit.
Your box naming scheme is very entertaining
Woah, these "flying camera scenes" is pure gold!
I got to meet a french bulldog yesterday, almost same colors as Ingot, now I understand why you have 2 and love them so much.
One think I wanted to recommend to you (also cool party trick) when you go on camping trip bring empty tin can, put in fire, when hot enough it will melt aluminum cans like paper and by end of long drinking night got a nice slab of aluminum ready to forge up!!
Man I loved the sound effects in this one
Love your stuff
An other nice addition to the stack!👍🏻 great job!!
