- Melting Brass - Keys, Casings and Bolts Into Bars and Rounds
In this video, I'll be pouring a brass bar, as well as some other brass rounds from bullet casings, brass keys, and miscellaneous nuts and bolts using my new Devil Forge Furnace or Foundry.
I absolutely LOVE using my Devil Forge on my Metal Pouring Journey!
I'm excited about smelting using my new forge, the new cast iron ingots and graphite molds, and with any luck, we'll have some beautiful bars and rounds to add to my stack.

Rob I just found a 2019 W quarter Guam going to get the whole 2019 set
bigstackD is that you? hahaha
Not quite LOL. He's the master and his polishing/stamping is amazing.
I actually thought it was bigstackD
I thought for a second has well it was bigstackd too but theres no dogs there and i lovehow the stuff came out rob good job overall 👏
@@smokeyspock He also didn't cool the bar in ice...
@@rajanrao well sometimes rob kinda does but its with water has well and theres no oce dogs but rob does rob it gives him character and we all love rob for that
Yo this is giving me serious bigstackD vibes...
brass is zinc and copper and boiling point of zinc is below melting point of copper. White smoke and green flame is zinc.
Love your melts
Definitely digging the BigStackD theme here Rob
It looks hilarious when you use the little grabbers to drop the coin molds
Those yellow fumes are dangerous. I hope you're wearing a respirator! You're vaporizing the zinc and all that yellow stuff is the residue from it. When you say there's a little bit of copper in your rounds, what you should be saying is there's a little less zinc in your rounds. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Zinc melts at a lower temperature than the copper, and it also has different densities. If you don't stir the metal before you pour it, the heavier copper will sink to the bottom, and the zinc will float to the top. That's probably why you're getting more copper in your later pours. The longer you keep the metal molten the more zinc will burn off and vaporize. Try using a carbon stirring rod, You can buy them on Amazon.
That was cool thanks for the video Rob!
The Moon Bar has two types of metal and lots of Character :)
Those look awesome
Awesome Rob
Even though I will not be doing pours like you do it is interesting to watch you do it. Thanks Rob.
The finished product looks great...nice and shiny 🤩
Wow, it looks so satisfying
I can’t wait to get one
Nicely done Rob! I like the pirates ☠ booty look.
These are cool and mesmerizing
Hmmm,reminds me,need to go target practicing..😁
Nice job Rob, can’t wait to get my forge so I can give it a go.
That was great bud. Nicely done !
Great video Rob!!
I’ve always wanted to cast bullet casings. Keep up the good work Rob!
you should try casting a flan, reheating it, and striking it, like ancient coins!
Pretty cool nice work rob i like that moon bar for sure!!!
Verry cool love the pour videos👊😁
I always love and enjoy your videos. My only suggestion is this feels so much like bigdstacks video. The Australian guy that does metal melting videos. You've got a certain way that you talk in your videos that makes them very very enjoyable. The silence is killing me!
Amazing
Everyone that is reading that right now hasn't watched the whole video.
You right
Brass is an alloy of copper and tin mixed
Still some nice pour .. sweet .. 😍
Those looked really good rob, some good control on those pours, brass is a little more difficult with all that zinc boiling off and making the smokescreen when your trying to fill the mold. The more you melt the brass the more of the zinc you will boil off, leaving more of the copper, The brass on the first bar looked a bit overheated, I have overheated brass a few times, and it starts to look like that and gets a bit stringy hanging over the edge of the crucible. Catch you on the next one.
The moon bar is cool. And I got to get one of your rounds one of these days
Nice job i like it
Very Nice RFT
I think the moon bar is pretty cool! I bet it would awesome polished! Nice work
those double shooters are still one of my favorite designs I have seen
👍cool video Rob. That’s one fun way to boil water!! Thanks for sharing. Have a good day everyone!🙂
Very cool, love these melting videos, always watch Bigstackd as well. The 2 shooters are gorgeous, a watched pot will boil...who knew
Yes!
Nice
The bolts you used were for electrical connections and there are many grades and in saying that have a higher levels of copper in them.. Some higher end lugs may even contain a percentage of sliver and even more exotic connectors have gold. One of the factories I worked for poured sliver, gold and platinum into round pigs and then extruded them into wire for manufacturing electrical contacts.. But they always smoked their molds with an Acetylene torch for a better release. But yours seem to be dropping out pretty easy. Love your videos and keep them coming! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah I get Silvertip electrical leads from a friend of mine who works in the business. It's a lot easier to take the silver off with an acetylene torch then to smelt it because of the steal that is attached to get far hotter than the silver. But there's one thing you can look forward to Silver and Gold will not evaporate. You can boiled gold at 5173 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature of the surface of the Sun is 9800 degrees Fahrenheit.
Love watching these kind of videos. Would love one of the pirate rounds. You have skills bro!
Let's go!
That was a good use of those .45 ACP brass. They were all picked up off the range.
👍⚪👍 very nice brass 🎆🔥🎇🍀😀💥✳️
I thought the moon bar came out cool good job
Nice I gotta get me a forge
Two words, Graphite Mold
Rob, It looked like you had a few Red Brass bolts that went into your mix, Red brass is a mix of brass and Copper. Probably where the Copper came from.
I melt brass in the devil forge no problem. Had a lot of trouble with aluminum. Maybe temp was too high? Brass really sticks inside my 2kg cast iron mold. A 3 pound bar was reduced to 1.4 pounds after I kept grinding it down. The "air pocket" went over an inch into the bar. Probably a noob pouring error? Good vid. Thanks.
That's correct too high of a temperature brass melts at 1650 degrees Fahrenheit. As aluminum melts at 1221 degrees Fahrenheit. That's a difference of 429 degrees Fahrenheit. The best way to get your aluminum to melt evenly is to time your heating of metals. Then you will know how long to leave your aluminium in the Forge. Most poor pours come out looking like Moon bars because the temperatures are wrong LOL just ask ROB.
Hey RobFindsTreasue what do u use to edit your vids
Brass the poor man's gold. 2nd amendment yes!
It was cool to see how you stored your pennies in the last video. How do you keep your world coins? In jars? Or in albums?
Where can I buy coin molds like those or similar?
how long do you cook the liquid brass after you've added the borax?
Rob I saw someone who drove by my house who looked just like you. You must have a doppelgänger in Minnesota 😂
LOL - could be!
I see an officer in my city a lot and he looks just like Rob too!
Dose rob have a secret twin we don't know about lol
One question please, Do you remove the spent primers first?
Not if they are spent. But I check all of them to make sure they are of course.
Brother as Always I love what you do and your Videos !! I recently started pouring copper and some other metals :) and I am looking for places to get some good molds ? any suggestions ? Thanks Again Rob !!
I make sand molds but I also pour figures and but you can get molds at Walmart believe it or not. A 30 Oz mold runs you about $60. I also use OTOOLWORD, they sell good Gold Silver and graphite Ingot molds for about $33. Amazon has free shipping. Rob may offer that through his Amazon account. You have to be very careful not to use gold and silver Ingot molds to melt copper and brass and aluminum because the temperature differences what will happen is you warped the sides of your molds and they will look like hour glasses.
If you noticed in Rob's video when he was pouring brass into his silver and gold molds the back of them were white that's because the temperature of brass is too hot for the molds that he was using.
Thank So Much for the very helpful info for a beginner !!!
If I had the money I’d take the moon bar
What did you use to pop out the primers?
its crazy how fast they solidify, one second they are molten being poured and the next second you're dropping them out of the molds.
did you sell these bar ?
I was glued to the screen. I Love smelting. My uncle taught me back in the 1960s when I was a boy.
Okay, here's a surprising thing brass is not a metal it is actually a crystal. An alloy of COPPER and ZINC, in proportions which can be variety into achieving rare variety mechanical and electrical properties. Depending on how much you mix of each replaces the atoms and creates different densities. The smoking at the beginning is a sign of high zinc content very toxic. The reason bullet brass is the best is because it is used to make bullets and it cannot explode in the chambers so it has to be more pure atom content. You cannot escape the copper. There are really two different types of brass property one is called Indian brass and the other one is called Chinese brass. It is known as the poor man's gold.
Texans love it HOT !!
Interesting watching the whole process....not for the faint hearted🤔
Hey Rob, I was wondering if you get your own spent bullet shells or do people send them to you. I have a bag of spent 5.56 rounds i was saving for something but never got around to it. Could i send them to you and maybe get a brass round in return?
Both - I have some from my own practice and others send some in. As long as they are spent, I could do that for you - and as long as I get to keep some for my trouble.
@@RobFindsTreasure yeah they're spent, still have the primers in them but i can remove those before sending. if i could get one of each round design from this video you can keep the rest.
@@RobFindsTreasure I forgot to mention before but i'm out of town for work and wont be home to get those bullet shells to you for a few months.
I prefer to hear you talk when making melting videos you are a great talker.
I know - I just have to yell practically over the sound of the furnace. I could also just do a voice-over...
Am I the only reloaded thats cringing right now?
Sir, some questions, please: 1) if I buy the microscope do I still have to buy the camera? Or can I just use the camera that in actuality is the microscope? Will it take pictures? 2) If I do have to also buy the camera you have a link to, it's unavailable at this time. Do you have an alternate? Or, is this really not necessary since the microscope has a camera built in?
The microscope is all in its great I bought one myself
@@sliver770 So just that one, sir? Nothing else?
Cool video but why? Unless you have groupies they are pretty much worthless. Right? They aren't worth anything after they are melted correct? Definitely can't scrap it. I'm really just curious as to why people are doing it. Not trying to sound negative I'm really curious as to what the benefits are. I hoard non ferrous metals but keep them in their found forms so I can recycle if ever needed.
25th! Yeaaaah!!
Would copper make it smoke and be a dirty burn?
I always thought that you could mix copper with brass, since brass is an alloy of copper.
Have a GREAT Day!!!
brass is mostly copper. His alloy just broke.
@@GigsVT I've never seen brass do that. Of coarse other channels are probably editing anything strange like that. I've never worked with molten metals of any kind but I've seen thousands of videos. Thank you for your reply, I don't get that too often here!
@@shaneyork300 it always does it to some extent. Stirring like crazy and solid pool of flux and a slightly reducing torch flame helps. Also try not to overheat... Lots of zinc smoke means you are boiling the zinc out.
I should add another strategy would be to make a small melt of pure copper and then feed brass into it stirring a lot. That way you can melt the brass under the surface away from air.
4:23 lol
brass junkie... dat funky munkey...
Balloon knot bar.
Have you ever watched Big Stacked D channel ?
🥇🥇🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏆
BOOM! 💥
Use graphite power, they won't stick
Looks like some of the key pins could have been copper or grease
we're still having a severe coin shortage in Jacksonville
You won't have to worry about that the federal government has announced today that the mint will be producing 1.5 billion coins per month the makeup for the hoarding of coins but that means that we won't find any silver because it's all hoarded.
@William findspennies
There will be less of a chance to find it because of all the other new coins
I hope that you got to empty those bullet casings yourself and they were not just given to you. I love me some range time.
Do your neighbors hear the noise of the forge and come over to see what's happening?
First boom 💥 Edit: Actually second 😂 🥈
😂😂😂😂
Close!
Asmr style lol
Good for a late night relaxation video I guess - LOL
@@RobFindsTreasure could I have you make a brass RFT bar to buy. I can't quite afford a silver one being in a adult group home on just SSI
Lol you think that’s a lot of brass 😂
brass is an alloy -zink and copper
