I get a lot of questions about how much Aluminium cans does it take to make a nice big Ingot so today lets have a look . Ill melt 400 aluminium cans as I know that'll be plenty and lets see just how many are needed for this big beauty. And while I'm at it let make that Ingot Shine😉. Also a heap of Copper/Solder skulls for the Manly Pink Safe 👌😁!
Anyway sit back relax and enjoy the video and remember if you Feel like supporting the channel it wont cost you a cent and that is to play one of my playlists on your computer before you walk away from it and let it play through that really helps as ads will play and watch time will go up . Watching ads definitely helps but Don’t ever feel as though you need to watch the ads if you don’t want to simply skip them and move into the video it’s completely up to you and I understand if you don’t have the time to do so👌🏻😁👍🏻.

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.

So I’ve had quite a few comments of people starting on their melting journey and they’ve asked how many cans they need to make a decent sized ingot so today that’s what I show. I make it a little bit bigger than usual, but it came out spectacular as you can see 👌🏻. Also there was a heap of Copper skull flats for the manly safe. So sit back enjoy and I hope to see all your beautiful people next week👋🏻😆

@vincedibona4687 Ай бұрын

I am still at the “propane torch/stainless bowl/low melting temp metals” stage, but maybe I will work up to a real furnace one day! 😅

@V8HiluxZX6R Ай бұрын

I know cans aren't the most efficient way, but limited for options in the UK. I'm still at the hording materials phase and have already got several boxes full of random day to day aluminium cast offs such as cans, food trays/casings etc... I imagine when the time comes all of it will make a couple of very small bars 🤣 the a mates dad kindly donated his knackered old gear box casing from his old van so I should get plenty out of that. Also another mate got a new kitchen put it so had a nice bag of copper wire from his old kitchen that he sent my way. Every little helps 😁

@rickshaw3005 Ай бұрын

That new mold would make for a nice block of copper or brass..

@engineering_noob1260 Ай бұрын

question: is it cost effective to throw the cans in like that or melt them in your "open furnace" (the one with frequently forgotten holes in) and remelt the "drips" in one go - just curious

@AlbiniusCristi-zm8vb Ай бұрын

144 regular clean cans with pickling salt will produce 1.5 kgs of poured metal and 300 grams of slagg. I lose only 20 percent by weight and the slagg I pull off has basically no metal in it. CLEAN AND CRUSHED. Really crushed I flatten mine with a 35lb dumbbell I drop it on them a few times while holding it so there is very little contact for flame oxidation. Less to remove. Also cook it long don't dip too deep when skimming. Skim stir it up to the side skin it. I do all my skimming in the furnace so the metal doesnt cool. If it cools it won't fall out of the slagg and back into the liquid in the pot. That's how I lose only 20 percent. Most videos people tend to lose 30 - 40 percent. Good luck everyone. Thanls for another awesome video "D" !!!!!

It's silly, but I love watching the cans pop as the residual moisture evaporates... What can I say? I'm easily entertained. Seriously, though, I do look forward to your videos every week. I'm not one to do any melting myself, but it's fun to watch. Sometimes the stuff you're breaking down is so random that I wonder where you get it all. I mean, HOW many weed wackers did your friend collect?! I also enjoy your sense of humor, which comes through pretty clearly even without speech. 🙂

That aluminum bar is beautiful! Nothing looks as nice as high polished aluminum. What always gets me is how nice copper comes out though. It's so grungy and ick after poring, but just a wire wheel and it too is a beautiful thing! I hope the wildlife around your place appreciate how good they got it! I adore how Boullion bounds out of the house, like "good morning world, wassup"? And Ingot strolls out like "who the hell turned on the sun"? And of course his morning rug belly rubs! Adorable monkeys! Have a fantastic weekend, and thanx for another great vid!

@PlasteredDragon Ай бұрын

Since you have to run your car anyway, it might be more efficient and consume less fuel if you you laid out the cans in two long lines perhaps each between 2x4's and then just drove over them with your car. 2 lines of cans laid broadside to your front wheels would give you 100 cans in about 10.8 feet, 200 in 21.6 feet, 300 in 32.4 feet, 1000 in 108.3 feet. You seem to have a lot of space available. Dunno if it is worth it to try but didn't know if you had ever considered it. Just a thought. I dunno if it would be risky to the tyres.

I've been thinking about a kind of crucible for processing a lot of cans quickly. Like something shallow with a spout so it just pours right into a mold as it melts.
