  • Melting Silver - Making Hand Poured Silver Bars at Home
    In this video, I'll be melting some silver bullion (Generic Rounds) into some more of my RFT Channel Bars, using my new Devil Forge Furnace or Foundry!
    I am still an amateur when it comes to pouring and stamping as I only get a little practice every other week BUT I love trying my best and it's always a lot of fun.
    Hopefully, you all enjoy this pour video and don't give me too hard of a time. :)

      Can you explain why when you pour the liquid silver into the mold it becomes sold right away while the silver in the crucible stays liquid the whole time you’re pouring?

    • @lukelennon548

      a trick: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

  • @phunwithphiphi8055
    @phunwithphiphi8055 3 роки тому +54

    You might want to try cleaning up the crucible and removing surface slag with carbon rod before poring, also heating the molds to red/yellow hot give the air a change to escape before the silver cools eliminating voids on the bottom of the bar, finally if you tap out the bars onto sheet rock no danger of scratches or dings so no need to polish. Hope that helps and keep up the good work.

    • @OfficiallyRetired
      @OfficiallyRetired Рік тому +4

      is that why my bars always have little holes and cracks in the bottom? i heated up the mold but not till it turns red or yellow

    Nice bars! In would also like to make some silver bars. I have a devilforge, exact the same you have. But I think I will use an electril furnace/kiln for silver. I will also prepare a pouring setup with a burner hitting those moulds while pouring. Give them a small tap while solodifying will give them some nice ripples, just the way I love them! I will also need to invest in a tumbler to get them as smooth and shiny as possible. Hopefully one day when I build a new shed or buy a garage box I will start melting silver. Just subbed 😁👍👍👍
