Nice job brother, i still work on my furnace. Good look bars.

Ben, you should get a mint stamp to personalise you bars. I think you may get some value added. After all you are a celebrity!

You should invite bigstackD over for a copper melting collaboration. In his video history he shows how to make a set of tongs that grabs the crucible lower down instead of at the top edge. He uses the same furnace you do. Here's hoping for a great scrapping year for you Ben!

It grate to know now that you all good I stared to get worried as I had not seen any videos lately thanks for letting us know :)

If i was to pour, I would be so proud of this pour, and like you say, we will allways make mistakes, that's the learning curve, great video great pour, I really hope the people and animals in Australia are as safe as can be, my thoughts are with them, as always keep them coming 👍 👍 👍

Glad you are ok!

Glad to hear you are safe from the fires . Good the copper isnt smoking, you have enough smoke there already. 😃

hi ben good to see you back again we were worried about you all the fires ect glad you are safe and keeping well keep them vids coming ben we love them take good care ben cheers for now

Glad to hear you’re safe from the fires!

Well done Ben, not to bad for being out practice. Looking forward to the next pour.

So glad to see you're ok....very sorry to hear about the bad situation happening over there!

Your garage looks immaculate!

Glad to see you back at it. With the fires going on in Australia I hope you are doing well. Best of luck and stay safe. Keep the great content coming

Still good after so long.

yayy you did a melt. good work.

Yay! Been waiting for this. You were the first KZfaqr I found when looking for copper melting. Thank you, Ben, you're rocking my world and I love your narratives. Anyway, I have a furnace forge (still in the box) and +/- 400lbs of Cu waiting for the heat. Thanks for teaching the art of TV retrieval. Like @David Galloway says, a collaboration with BigstackD would be a great video. You talk, he drinks beer, eh?

I was wondering if you were ok from the fires, glad to see you're back at it #Happyscrapping

Nice to see your videos again.

Do more of this kind of video excellent keep on scrapping wait until the next video watching from the UK 👍👍🇬🇧

cool vid Ben you know after brushing your ingots you can keep that shine just by spray it with transparent lack, and one more thing as your using your file if you pulling the file towards you it does almost nothing to file off some material you need to push it away from you that is the way all metals file are made you need to push away then file will do the job, small hint but try that and you will see different happy scrapping my friend 👍😀👍

GREAT VIDEO BEN CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR OTHERS MELTING VIDEOS, I WATCH ALL YOUR VIDEOS OVER AND OVER KEEP BRINGING THE VIDEOS DUDE 👍👍

Enjoy watching your melt video’s!

Hi Ben! Yellow brass would be cool to see melted. But any metal will do! Its just fun to watch the process. Happy New Year to you and all the viewers!!

So happy you are ok

I’ve just made two identical to yours .thay turned out not bad .just bought the devil forge .awsome bit of kit .good inspiration you are to me Ben and I’m bang on it here in the U.K.

Hi Ben : I enjoy your channel, glad to see you pouring again.

Mate the shed looks great concrete floor and a clean work bench Well Done & Happy New Year.

Hey Ben love your vids and i hope that you are all OK and I hope that ever love ones are ok and out of danger from the fires if there,s anything that I can do for you, all you have to do is ask so God speed and I will be praying for you and all of Australia

Very beautiful video. Hopefully we'll see some more copper bars from you, greetings Turkey,

Looking at my eWaste Ben poured copper Australia while watching this vid...awesome!

I enjoy these videos Ben

Good to see your doing alright, keep it up old boy, cheers from London.

Great stuff 👍 your garage looks clean haha 😋

Kitted out like Ned Kelly ...lolol awesome video thanks Ben

Nice . Been looking forward to this. Garage is looking good too.

Enjoyed the new content

Hi Ben, Recycle Specialist again, I wou like to recommend you watch BigstackD Casting and sreetips, it might help you a bit.

Loved watching this beautiful turn out

When street scrapping and you see a BBQ check the gas bottle. I haven't bought gas in years and I BBQ 2 or 3 times a week

Hey Ben, you should consider streaming some scrap out sessions on Twitch or KZfaq (Id go twitch, you make more $) if you can. It would be another way to earn some extra cash doing what you love. You already have a dedicated fan base. A video or two letting subscribers know you're gonna give it a shot and i bet you make partner inside a week or two. Plus it gives you a great opportunity to interact with the most dedicated of your subscribers and even network with other scrapers! Let me know if you like the Idea, Thanks Ben.

Good job 👍 Ben ,

awsome video ben ,, i pray for australia ,,i'm supr glad your safe ,,BEN . bless you ,

Hey Ben! I would love to see you do a brass bar, just to see how it looks in comparison to pure copper bar, if you don't mind the effort.

Oh and I really love the bars, no worries there mate! Good job on them 😍 as it was 1 year ago not bad. Keep them coming 👍👍👍

Good to see you melting again!

Great job on the melt Ben! Very interesting watching the pour master at work! LOL

These are my favorite videos of yours

Thought this was bigstackd until you started talking haha

Ben it’s good to see your good with the fires down there and where did you get you furnace I’m trying to start making copper bars

Great trick BEN thanks

Keep the copper videos coming

You can make different copper shapes by using sand casting with a flask.

Great video keep it up!! New year new videos heck ya! I'll take the small one lol its beautiful!

Aw another copper video thank God I've been waiting for another copper bar video absolutely love this video alsome video 👍😀😎✌️

Hheey... We miss the street scrapping videos.. :)

I watch BigstackD casting, an Aussie, as well and he can really clean his bars up nice so they do not oxidize. Im not sure why he is holding on to them for but he also sends out coins to patrons of his channel. I know my scrap yard really hates to take home poured bars, too many that are not 100% copper or brass. Maybe a metalsmith who can turn it into decorative art or something to that effect.

Happy new year from Queensland

Thank you for this great video! :D

Great video bro

Bars look good mate the only reason behind those "layer" lines on the bottom of the bars was due to lack of heat because the copper grains didn't have sufficient heat to meld together before cooling. But that's not a biggie because you said yourself you were mucking about with the pour and its only cosmetic.

Love the copper melt

It might cost a bit, but have your logo and Ewaste Ben together in a mold! Or... it'd be hard and take some practice but you could try your hand at sand casting!! That way you could make your logo out of Styrofoam and pour the copper or brass right into that!! Although brass has so much junk in it, it's not as easy as copper!! There are so many things you could do!! I wish I lived down the street from you, I'd help you get the sand casting started!! Even strip some wire for you!! If I could afford a plane ticket I'd fly there and work for free for a 2 or 3 weeks scrapping and helping you get a bunch of copper ready to melt!! Have a GREAT Day!!! P.S. I offered my local coin shop to work for free to help him sell and to learn what I can as well!! Hoping to start doing that soon!! When I love to do something like scrap or work with Coins I'd work for free!! Hope ALL goes well with you Ben!!!

put your molds beside the melter so it wont cool as much

Here is a diffrent video also fun to watch i understand what u say its art every ingot is unique next time u can maybe melt my granulated copper just to see how that turns out

That a clear garage have any more video of you doing it

your the best u doing more vids like this i love it

I don't mind the smoke, but I can understand from your point of view 😂 Was a while ago I watched a video from you. You were the one that hooked me on scrapping, and thus collecting free copper 😁 you are still awesome!! But please be safe with melting. You wear an apron while pouring that is great! But I would advice to wear gloves when putting in metal in the hot crucible. Also getting a no 10 crucible with like 4 kgs of molten copper out of the furnace with some hinge tongs made me shiver! I would advice to use a proper lifter tong for that as I seen my crucible crack with a hinge tong. Furthermore why don't you put the ingot molds next to the furnace? Seems much more efficiënt 😁 What a nice stack of copper 😍😍😍 thanks for the video 👍👍👍

👍great video some dice shaped moulds would be nice copper cubes?👍

Nice vid Ben, how about brass. Keep the vids coming.

Hi Ben, I was wondering how you separate the copper from the aluminum in those copper stackers? Nice to see you pouring copper bars again.

Great bars Ben If u spray your copper bars with clear coat lacquer they will stay shiny And you could try making a green sand mould for your Australia ingot Would b great if you made more melting videos 👍

btw one tiny bar is on the way to you sir tiny 100 grammer hope it will be there soon 👍😀👍

HEY BEN YOU GOT A BAG POWER COPPER IN MAIL 11 MONTHS AGO THAT WILL BE A GOOD VIDEO TO MAKE IN YOUR ELECTRIC MELTER. 👍👍

Really interesting seeing the process that’s for sharing. Would love to see how much you get with a big melting day.

I would like to see you made some brass bars

NICE!!!

Nice job

Also a nice radial pattern on the bottom of the large ingot

Nice copper bars Ben, you should sell them on ebay , Thanks !

Nice melt down vid

Glad you are ok Ben the fires not by you i take it .

Got a jeweler mate that can advise Ben. Not sure if green sand pours would work but could be worth a try. maybe. Close melting point to cast Iron which uses sand casting as a default. Aluminium you can definitely cast in sand and needs 1/2 the temp. Take care mate. got to catch up soon.

you could add 10% pewter to the molten copper, to make a bronze, which would cast smoother and you could make more detailed castings. plus it would increase the scrap value of the copper

hairspray will preserve the shiny copper colour. and then you can wash it off with water if need be

A question to Ben, Are those bushfires near to you? Here ( in Finland ) the news gives us picture that hole Australia is going to burn down...

Ben have you watched Big Stackd Casting brilliant you tuber

Ben have you ever scrapped out a macintosh 512 or 128

The have a polisher for a drill .that u can use to polish the bars and make a lil more money than what you have been making

Hi mate just started watching your video and was wondering how do know when people are putting out the scarp outside?

use tongs to feed it

26:50 what about an oily coating? spray-Oil like WD40? this should prevent the oxidation

Hi Ben, welcome back. I have a quick question. What would you value a kilo of mixed IC chips at for scrapping? I've got a guy making some offers but I'm not sure if he's trying to take advantage or not. Just looking for some round numbers, nothing specific. Thanks Ben.

Aye graphite molds are crazy priced for designs. You could try delft clay/petrobond casting is how I got round it. Get some silicone cake molds with designs and cast with wax or epoxy then use it for the delft clay 👍

How do you cut off the access pieces of copper, when you over pour?

Just you all know I use xylene I have a bucket metal bucket I keep xylene waste so I dip my candy copper in there removes the lacquer

I'd be thinking sand molds. Check out Navajo sandcast jewelry at some point. It's not absolutely perfect and looks better that way.

Just curious where you buy your molds?

Where are you in relation to all the fires?

I believe what you are referring to is called pyrolysis, the plastic film turns to a gas

How how long does it take your furnace to heat up?
