- A shorter video today as I melt down a heap of scrap plugs that the scrapyard didn't want. I also do a steel copper alloy bar and a classic copper bar. Another step closer to the 529 kg motor melt which should be here in 2 or 3 weeks I'm guessing. Now sit back enjoy and I hope to see you all on the next video👋😁

HOW I 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.

Just a quick one today guys as I've been absolutely flat out over here. Another kilo closer to the goal and I can't wait to get a bit closer so I can get that 529 kg motor from the 1930s that I showed a sneak peak of 2 weeks ago . All the usual bits and pieces and one of my Prettiest bars to date. Now sit back relax and enjoy today's video but most importantly have an awesome weekend👊🏻😁
Cant wait to see the day you can melt steel given the amount of steel you give to your friend
@@entity9742 You'll be waiting a good long time. His furnaces can barely melt miniscule amounts of steel. Those things are MADE of steel, so can't handle the temperatures to melt it in significant quantities. You'd need a brick lined furnace, as stone is far higher melting temperature than steel.
I think i have seen worse bars than that copper/steel one on this channel.
@@kevinbray3724a man can dream
@@kevinbray3724 im sure at some point he'll make one
On a personal level, it's really cool to finally see you complete your goal. I got hooked on your videos when I saw you make copper bars from wires in your Garage. The biggest motor ever disassembled after reaching one Million subs was so cool.
I find your videos so damn pleasing to listen and watch. I hope it doesn't end after your goal, and if it does. Im really happy to see a Dragon like you finally get the hoard he wanted
That was probably the skrippiest of scrapping I've seen you do, but _what a result._ That bar is glorious! What a transformation. 🤩
Two things learned here. (1) This guy isn't quite as much of a trained pro as I thought, and (2) Sometimes he does stuff just for the heck of it because the idea makes him smile obviously! If I had that equipment, and that room, I would be having hopefully the same amount of fun as you! 🤣
I'm so excited for the motor melt!! I don't mind a shorter one- a nice mix of lengths is good.
I can't wait either, I loved the last mega motor melt! BigstackD just kept pouring bar after bar!
That’s what she said
Yeah, she did!
I've been watching since around 300 or 400kg, and to me it is kinda funny how ever since these videos have become my go-to for things to watch during breakfast on Friday mornings. Much better than the junk that is called TV these days.
Same here! I love watching this with my kids every Friday. My son, who is 1, really enjoys the bits with the dogs.
@@zeteatcase I'm more of a cat-person myself, but I am happy that you have something to enjoy with your kids. 👍
@@ranekeisenkralle8265 I am just super glad we get to watch @bigstackD every week!
22:00 - The shine looks like it comes from the nickel content (the nickel coating on top of copper terminals). I believe most audio connectors are copper underneath with different coatings on top (tin, brass, nickel, silver, gold). I didn't notice any gold- or silver-plated ones in the bin, just the cheaper nickel-plated ones.
What an amalgam!
It really reminds me of the metal use in Dollar and Two Dollar coins - 92% copper, 6% aluminium and 2% nickel. Likely some aluminium used in the cheaper ones, and as you mention, nickel plating is very common.
Man I watch every video, sometimes I binge watch over and over. It's just calming. The birds, the outdoors, the sound of the furnace, even the clanking of the hammer on copper piping 😂. It's just relaxing 👉💯. Thanx man 👍
Yes 🙌 this guys content seriously does something for me too! Everything down to the captions is so… non invasive. It draws me in when the artist allows you to enjoy the medium instead of jumping around between the medium and the viewer like, “hey! Look at me!” Like… dude I’m just here for the creativity 😅
@@gasmatd oh I agree 💯👍. I don't wanna hear someone talk every 5 seconds. Just get to the melting 😂. But seriously, it's just a great great channel.
Another thing to note, is never pour copper ONTO ice, just a plain block of it, it'll cause a massive steam explosion. There was a guy I used to watch that melted like a kilo of copper and dumped it on stuff; he poured it onto a block of ice and it exploded and sprayed molten copper everywhere. Also, never pour aluminum into a cavity in ice, TKOR did it (from a safe distance) and it exploded too.
I feel like the general rule of thumb is don't pour really hot stuff on really cold stuff unless you feel like getting a painful and extended hospital stay...or death. Lol.
@@crichards037 *It's not the cold, it's the moisture.*
@@reverendtfg6802 Lol yeah, you're absolutely right. My brain was on the one track of *really cold = ice*, which by definition is moisture lol. But you are absolutely correct - thank you for correcting me! Especially when it comes to safety things like this, it's incredibly important to be providing accurate information! 😊👍
The guy at the start of the video is me 😂
@@fetchitnowuk did you get any serious injuries from the explosion?
I've often wondered what would happen to a copper ingot if you slowed the cooling process down by putting the mould back in the furnace and letting it cool down over a longer period. Good video today.
That would be interesting to find out.
You’d get huge grains
I genuinely do not know this. Can you put a mould into a furnace, melt the metal in it and take it out ? Would that create a bar or a mess ?
The molds are made of carbon I'm pretty sure they'll just burn
@@CaedmonOS oh, now I understand, thank you
The metal in the rca cables depends on the brand of cable. Each company uses different metals to make their plugs. Some use gold some use tellurium copper with rhodium plating. It’s basically whatever metal mixture the company finds gives the best audio/video connection
Two that I would put money on are cadmium and chromium for plating.🙂 🏴☠
I think most people would have just thrown everything in and let the plastic burn off. Those of us who appreciate, on a global scale, having fresh air and clean water appreciate your efforts. Thank you, from Olympia, Washington, USA
👊🏻😁
That was a beautiful bar, probably a little silver, tin, mostly copper and aluminum. It sure came out nice!
I cant wait to see the motor melt, those are always my favorite. You're so close to a tonne so I'm sure it will be soon enough.
Audio "chinch" plugs are commonly outfitted with a silver coating, and, in certain instances that prioritize enhanced quality, they may boast a layer of gold plating. It's noteworthy that the most premium iterations of these plugs are frequently constructed using these metallic materials.
Mostly aluminum guy. smh
@@MrAnderson5157 More likely the tin and lead from the solder, as there will not be much aluminium in those plugs, more chrome than anything else, which will alloy with the copper.
They are unfortunately mostly made of aluminum. It is cheap and does not oxidize. The cheap rca's are AI primary. The color is the copper. AI primary copper alloys come out that yellow color. The small amounts of solder, that which doesn't become dross, is negligible.@@SeanBZA
"High end", which he did not have really, will have some other alloys but again in very small amounts. What he had was mostly aluminum. The middle of the road quality rca's will merely contain more copper than the cheap ones.@@SeanBZA
Get him to stick a magnet to it. AI or copper should be difficult to stick a magnet to, Tin is magnetic.@@SeanBZA
I look forward with so much anticipation to my Friday morning fix of metal melting goodness. Thank you for feeding my addiction bigstackD!!
Seeing Ingot bark was so cute. ❤ He sounded ferocious at 1st in the slow mo. 😂
After watching your videos, I'm excited to start my own channel, you're great
You are almost there!!!
That was one solid steam explosion lol
Loved the bars and the bulldog barking and turning into a chihuahua barking LOL
Taking all those apart is real dedication. Not sure I’d do it but yay to you for not giving up. 😊
Great video mate. A pewter one would be lovely to see
I love how shiny the mirrored bars are.
Good one Big D! I'm wondering now just how long you are going to tease us before you jump 1K! I'm envisaging a kilo a week haha The bits slowed down and sped up with Ingot were funny! I did a sped up bit in one of my recent videos, pissed myself laughing at it.
Have a good weekend mate!
Probably next year. The next few videos will be re-melting of deformed coins and ingots. Cheers!
Hey buddy thanks again for the continued support I really appreciate it. Yeah after todays video I'm at 998kgs so next weeks Beskar bars will take me to 999.9kgs😉 so im sure that'll trigger a few people😁
🤣😂@@bigstackD
Thanks lilstackD.
I love how you artistic side comes out in your videos! Great job as always..
nice finishing to those bars! thank you for sharing the adventure and information 😅.
I dont mind the shorter video. That mirror bar is gorgeous. And woohoo so close! Cant wait to see the motor melt!
After the 93 mins I was expecting band aids on every finger 😂
That mirror on the brass (?) bar was gorgeous. 👍🏻
I _always_ love copper… 😍
That steel alloy bar? “Thanks, I hate it.” 🤣
I find that when my hands are sore, holding an ice-cold beer can help with the pain. Not to mention the medicinal effects of the alcohol. Take care brother.
I love it when you show the temperature on a cold day for you. Your coldest days are still warmer than half the nights in spring here, nevermind winter time. I still get a little kick out of the difference in temperature tolerance that people develop in different areas of the world. I lived 1,500 miles farther south than my hometown for 11 years, and never developed Any tolerance for hot weather. So what feels nice and comfortable for you, is an absolute oven for me. And cold to you is little more than light jacket weather for me. 😆
Mate, you have more patience than me. All that work for little reward. 😂
Not a long-time viewer, but I'm surprised you just melted that stuff down without knowing what metal was in it. I'm getting close to starting my own melty metal hobby, and I wouldn't want to accept making alloy bars like that..
Then again, I guess there's no real way to identify or accurately separate the metals from stuff like that without some slightly beefy chemistry equipment.
I may not watch your channel often, but your videos have always inspired me to want to start making my own ingots.. And I finally have the setup and material to do it.
If you like, after I make my very first bar, I could set aside a chunk to send to you, as a keepsake. A token of appreciation for inspiring me to recycle old electronics for metals and other bits.
#5 Hello from Seattle WA ✌️🦊👍
What you might have there in the first melting is Nickel Silver. I think it is used for audio joiners. It would explain the colour.
I would have to agree. The "higher" quality audio connectors will use silver solder instead of lead-tin. It does not take much to make a difference.
Bit of trivia knowledge for you, jewelry show case mock rings 0f 90-95% brass. Most are coated with other metals, gold, silver, platinum, etc. The "generic " yellow-gold bands on display are typically a mix of copper, silver, tin, and nickel. Learned this from an older jeweler when getting my wedding rings.
@@jaxjackson4100 Cool, yeah when I taught Jewellery at a High school we'd use Nickel Silver plate to make rings etc with. It comes up nice polished.
maybe a slight bit of chromium in there too
I'm curious about the metal in the plugs as well. I always thought they're nickel-plated, or some sort of nickel alloy in there somewhere.
@MattExzy if you mean the iec plug ends, those are generally brass alloy. Though, that means there could be several metals to choose from. Including, but not limited to, tin, aluminum, lead, zinc, nickel, and more. As well as any combination of. Plus, some non-metals like zirconium, phosphorus, and arsenic. After all, we do have crystalline yttrium aluminum garnets.
*** note that I am not a metallurgy person in any way. Some information stated could be inaccurate, been a while since I looked at any source material. Please check more reliable sources of information.
Another great video. Thank you for showing us the danger of copper in ice water. That explosion will soil anyone's pants
I was wondering what you did with the plugs. Can't wait for that 500kg motor melt.
such an extremely sharp siccors✂️wow... i coud'nt wait up to today! thank s alot for still broadcasting yorself😂
whoa.. that doggo is a beast in slow motion! 🙂
You teasing us so hard with this 1kg per week, I can't wait until you hit your sacred goal with 1000kg.
And can't wait until new big as hell motor melting.
I see your temperature is 14.4C, obviously spring is around the corner there in Australia. Here in Canada, we are just still in the midst of summer, gonna hit 40C with humidex this weekend(Labour Day) Mind ya, was 7C last night. Crazy eh? Love your channel, cheers from London Ontario Canada.
This is a good start to the weekend - the mirrored came out nice, and it's always good to visit with Bullion and Ingot 😁👍
You really put the work into this one
So much cutting work
Looks incredible, amazing bar
That copper steel hybrid reminds me of when Homer loses weight and ties all his loose skin behind his back with clips. They look so amazingly beautiful from one side and then you turn them over 😂
Feels so strange to be so early! Greetings from Canada mate 🇨🇦 Love your videos
Those golden RCA plugs (Monster Plugs) - you show stripping a sky blue one at the very beginning - are gold filled; one of the main sources of gold in my refining hobby
Ingots barking at the end of the video was epic! He sounded like a male lion in slow and a chihuahua sped up! Thanks for the laugh!
my favorite channel and in my opinion the BEST channel EVER, TY D for sharing ingot and bullion with us as well as your craft. this is my weekly therapy I KID YOU NOT. TY
I really like the highly polished stuff, but that pure copper looks great when it melts and pours. *chef's kiss*
Love watching these and beautiful yard!
:)...I remember when you first got that forge...She's earned her keep, that's for sure! cheers!
why do i want to see every bar made sanded and polished to that shine !!!! 😄
It’s always a good time watching the forbidden fanta being poured
I cant be the only one hopeing thay giant skull is going to be used as a mould for getting over 1 ton. Awesome video as always, give the little chaps a "good boy" from all of us!
I've been hoping the exact same thing!!!! Imagine that baby in polished nordic gold... 🤤
@@squirrelorama exactly the material I was thinking as well!
They're having a great time ripping around in the yard
4 more kgs, man! The moment is finally coming!
Well done Mr Big Stack much kudos .....I myself couldnt be arsed xxxx
I watched this for far longer than I thought I would
I absolutely love your treasure trove. And your lil pupperinos are absolutely adorable. I can't wait to see you hit your 1 ton goal.
Another great melt, glad that you kept doing these videos, you're close to the 1 tonne goal!
Thanks for sharing with us.
Love your channel, I watch every Friday morning. Please keep doing the "BigSnack" part of the video. You finding your snack in weird places is super funny to me. You have a good sense of humor. Thnx
LOL...I was just thinking that cutting away all that plastic must have killed your hands! The second I thought that it poped up on the screen! I'm sure no one envoys your task.
I just want to thank you for the dog count down timer!
Those boys look so happy
man, i haven't watched your vids in a minute. Looks like you upgraded to a lil slice of paradise
I was away at my holiday property. Mobile data signal is random (at best) there so I had to wait until today to watch this. Absolutely worth the wait. The mirror finish on that bar is fabulous! 4 more kilo's and goal achieved!
Nice, another couple of masterpieces to your collection!😜👍
Wow so much work, thank you mate, beautiful results.
The last couple of videos, no ice block? My favorite part man!
Sorry about that mate I’ve had a few parties and the ice keeps getting smashed up and used but I’ll make sure it’s in the next video👊🏻😁
@@bigstackD brother as long as the ice is used for a good cause I'm good with it! Party on my friend
@@davidroberts9330 🤘🏻🤪🤘🏻
What a beautiful & serene property
A chilly day is what we need this summer in arizona thisheat wave is absolutely insane
Haha i thought it was lego from the thumbnail.😂
Nice bars👍& love the dog barks 😁
the final slowmo makes him so brave ! don´t think i ever have seen he running cheers !
I loved how Ingot marked where you make ingots! 😅
They turned out beautiful. So close to your target now, very exciting
The dogs are always a nice break 17:26 nice zoom sounds
When BigStackD levels up to melting steel, it's GAME OVER.
Patience of a saint
Absolutely gorgeous property. Good on ya son.
Was a very informative video about melting safety but… my favorite part was the frenchies @ the end!😉👍
I'm just glad you're OK after pouring the copper into the ice water
Actually mate it wasn’t me that did that it was one of my mates, he was very lucky. He did have some burns and stitches and if you check out the description there’s a link to the original video and the aftermath video that he uploaded 👍🏻
@bigstackD Yeah, Ijust watched the one he showed what his leg looked like after. I thought it was you, I'm glad he didn't get hurt too bad, but I did see he did have a lot of safety equipment on also. Years back, I was doing wreath welding and almost burned myself by not having an apron on (I miss those work pants )
Love the sound of the furnace
The steam jacket at 11:40 is fasicnating!
Always loved watching the channel , I try to scrap when I can but I can't do the whole melting process like you can
Incredible video as always 👏👏
OMG, that steam explosion was NASTY!!! 😳
It was interesting to see the difference in viscosity of the copper-steel alloy from just pure copper. That stuff poured like engine oil.
Awesome video beautiful bar's especially the mirror bar beautiful thanks for sharing bigstackd
11:22 - Wow that poured like Jell-O! 🤣
Cute they are! And lovable!!👊
love your vids. Keep up the good work.
Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲
I've been watching this channel for a long time and only now I realized why it's so hot in Australia!)
Good job man!
Those dogs are the absolute best. Please keep melting and tending to dogs!
I wish for cold days like that. But no its summer all year round here.
Alot of those plugs are almost allways silver or gold plated.
I felt my arthritis watching you cut up and peel open all those plugs.
Man I’ve thrown a lot of those ends in the shred pile .. my yard won’t take them either .. wish I had them now 🤣👊🏻great show as always
