Cheers matey 🍻😁👍🏻

Yeah a couple of them were pretty shitty but thats my own fault for being lazy and not burning out the paint in the mold. i thought the lead would burn it all out but apparently not.

unfortunately with all the spring set ups in locks and such a small opening for the key it would be practically impossible to do this. Although in theory its a cool concept. 👍

You don't know until you try

Hey there matey I tried the lead on an old padlock (I have heaps) and the lead did as I expected, it just pooled up in a ball on top of the key chamber and none actually seeped in 🤷🏻‍♂️. Maybe a job for mythbusters ?

Thankyou my friend 😁👍🏻

Yeah i was getting inundated with people concerned about the note burning. I wish i had that kind of money to do that.

Cheers buddy 🍻. I’ll make some thicker bars with this mold in a future vid👍🏻

Heck no mate I can barely afford these fake ones let alone a real one , but in all honesty my friend I wouldn’t even burn a one dollar bill if I could afford to I got more respect for money than that👍🏻😁

@@bigstackD how do you even afford the forge then? Lol I subbed a few days ago but I have enjoyed watching all your old videos!

Scott Gall nobody would ever do that are you crazy I cant even afford 100

It’s fake mate

Do you get more money for melting it or is it

Yeah I’ve seen some people try cast glass but I’ll stick with my metals for now bro . Glass is too messy .

Yeah I tried an it kinda worked I just needed some rough Edges or some overhang for the tin to hold to the brass. Although if I didn’t stamp em the tin would’ve probably held fine👍🏻

Cheers bro 😁👍🏻

Cheers

Yes they are quite trim. The good thing with this mold is I can make them as thick or thin as I like 👍🏻I’ll be making them thicker in future video😁

Matt M . Have you watched Alumitube a lot of his weapons would be classed as a no-no where I live . What have you made? And also be sure to let me know if you ever upload any casting or Melting vids😁👍🏻

🤣yeah mate I here ya question time wen ya ready to pour. We have kids in my street and I swear they know exactly wen I’m just about to pour as they’ll start riding up n down the bloody street making a big racket 🙄🙄, so I just have to wait till they bugger off or everyone will be listening to them screaming in the background as I try to pour . Where do you live?

bigstackD Casting Wot ya doin Mista??? Why ya doin it Mista?? How do you do it Mista??

Cheers bro 🍻🤘🏻

Eh 🤷🏻‍♂️. At least the good thing is I can remelt them over and over and over again👍🏻

They definitely would be better I think if the molds were a lot hotter . The first 2 that came out where pretty shit as I recon the paint that was left in the mold May have been a factor . Although the mold did get hotter as I progressed so that definitely helped. With this particular mold I can add thicker pieces of U Channel to the already welded bits to make bars what ever thickness size I want so that’s good. I’ll do some thicker brass or copper bars in a future vid for sure. I should be able to use the lathe tomorrow night so should get a few blank coin molds ready for ya👍🏻😁.

bigstackD Casting that’ll be awesome! Yeah those molds seem like they’ll work perfect especially since you can make them any size you want 👍🏻

Cheers matey! But please be careful and remember safety first👍🏻.

bigstackD Casting yup. I have some protective gear coming in the mail

yeah i know my friend but ill probably keep all my big bars even if its just as a door stop. If i ever sell it on eBay ill just ad a link to this vid so they know what the hells with the 2 toned color. 😀

Yeah, if they are remelting the 2 toned bar for their project, that no problem. Brass do contain a trace of tin.

Sorry I don’t have the means to cast such small detailed things like coins and rings also I have no zinc left to make more Nordic gold☹️😒

Right, because you pit it on the bridge of your nose and pretended to be a lifeguard, got it :P

VerifyVeracity I’ve seen those videos where they cast about a dozen or more bloody huge bells these things like you said take 100s lbs and they bury them in sand to cast them . It was a while ago but it was a bloody big job .

Yeah the good thing is i can just cut another piece of U channel and make the bars what ever size i want and just clamp it on . Ill definitely do some thicker bars in a future vid👍

You know me mate I’m always up to try something with a high failure chance, I’ll definitely do copper in this mold in a future video👍🏻. The good thing about this mold is I can cut new U Channel steel and simply clamp them on for a thicker mold if I want 😁

Yeah mate the good thing with this double mold is I can just cut some more U Channel and make the molds thicker by cutting to what ever size I want . Just clamp it up and I’ll be good to go . I’ll definitely do some thicker bars with this mold in a future vid👍🏻.

Yeah I still get regular abuse over people thinking there real🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

@@bigstackD It's actually sad to see things like that I bet. You say like every other video that they are fake but noooo it's the Internet so you are offending somebody. Kids these days...

🤘🏻👍🏻

Interesting idea but i wouldn't have the mold to make it or a crucible with enough volume to make one that fits.👍

bigstackD Casting ...well you could try making a plaster mold of a blundstone boot, use that in the green sand box to create the impression, then pour in the brass. Most of the brass will fill the sole and not much would fill the rest of the boots form. You could try a small version first by using kids blundstone boot as a test to iron out the mistakes that might happen. Obviously it wont be solid cos yer gonna try put your foot in it(not the kids boot, maybe yer big toe will fit). Would be funny to threaten people with a brass boot up the backside.

Ugly bastard aye 🤔😉

bigstackD Casting I was honestly expecting you to have a shaved head

Actually a few months ago I shaved my head completely bald as the hairdresser wanted bloody $24 to cut it 🤨🤯🤯 . It’s a bloody haircut not surgery, I spent the money I saved wisely and invested it in my local bottle shop😬🍻

bigstackD Casting what's a bottle shop?

A Pub , tavern or Bar . 🍻.

All in good time my friend👍

Thanks matey. Check my other vids some are a lot better than this one😁👍🏻.

bigstackD Casting haha yess

Thank you my friend I really appreciate that😁👍🏻. The answer to your question is yes %100 yes , the reason mine don’t turn out perfect like the movies is cause I always melt scrap metal and that always has a heap of impurities in the metal I melt . After I get the impurities out and remelt the bars or coins I already have it would be almost pure brass/copper (or what ever I remelted) . The way to get the bars perfect is easy you just need to spend sometime on them . I normally use a 80grit flap disc to smooth them out then go with sandpaper 240grit 400grit 800/1200/2000. Then after that I hit it with a buffer wheel and the bar will come up like a mirror. Obviously if I didn’t use scrap metal I could get mine perfect . Tomorrow night I’ll release a video with a nice big bar I made from padlocks 🔐 and other scrap and sanded it good . As you’ll see it’s not perfect but it’s pretty close.😁👍🏻😉

Thankyou my friend 😉😁👍🏻

Cheers for the idea my friend 👍🏻😁🍻

😀👍

bigstackD Casting why buy it from the store when you can make it on your own lol

Aluminium maybe but brass and copper I highly doubt, they take a fair bit of kick to get them to melt but ide be quite happy to watch you try if you ever up load it👍🏻

Malcom Straziovitz I think that you would find that the camp burners would Not produce the required amount of heat from the flame volume. Camping equipment is designed to work at restricted pressure from the regulator between the gas bottle and the burner(s). You need to look at getting a higher or variable regulator and a burner that can deal with the volume and heat. Camping equipment is designed for light weight and won't cope.

Yeah mate definitely not practical at all especially if I was doing this for scrapping ,but I’ll eventually remelt these when I run out of scrap and use for future casting projects , on this particular time once I was ready to pour I turned the furnace down low and only had it running for additional maybe 10 mins max while I poured the 5 bars 👍🏻. As this is just a hobby I’ll never take my metal to the scrap yard and I don’t mind spending a few $ here and there on me bars , they only sit there slowly pulling my shelf out of the wall but I love em😉😁.

Go to eBay type in “infrared 1050” and it’ll bring up a huge selection just make sure you get the one that goes up to 1050°C I got mine for about $30 AUD

Well I’m glad you do mate👍🏻

Borax 1kg from bunnings $9.40 if your in Australia. Yeah i definitely needed the respiratory mask this time as there was a heap of smoke and fumes coming from the brass.

I would much rather do a weapon or heap of coins then a waffle mold . Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love waffles I just have a heap of other things I would want to cast first my friend👍🏻😁

Yeah matey this was just a trial run on this mold, ill definitely do some tweaking if i use it again. 👍

Thanx matey. Where do you live?

Do you live in Kolkata?

i live in surat

it is in india

Yeah right, stormy here now but I bet it’s hot over there in Surat this time of the year👍🏻

Yeah they were just quickly put together to see how they worked I didn’t get the finish on the bars that I would like but I will definitely try them again in a future video I might even try and engrave some lettering on the inside of the mold so it transfers to the ingot and try again with copper next time 😁👍🏻

As a welder I find these brass slats very useful welding horizontal cracks in steel. Im going to make some for myself!

😉😁

Ok cheers mate 👍🏻

Yeah buddy I just use a normal bbq gas bottle (propane) although i need a bigger regulator on it so the gas comes out with more pressure 😁👍🏻

bigstackD Casting Thanks I've been thinking about doing larger projects with different types of metals, so far I've only melted aluminum and steel (out of luck and a lot of charcoal)

Cool bro not sure if you have seen my newer vids with my new furnace but that thing is friggen scary powerful😲👍🏻

I can’t melt steel in my furnace but my suggestion would be probably 2 burners . If 1 burner can create 1300 Degrees then I’m assuming 2 should hit the 1550+ for steel melting, that’s just a guess though.

Yeah shes not the thinnest crucible but being t his thickness i get quite a few melts out of them before they fail so i wont complain. 😀

bigstackD Casting yeah as long as it works that's all that matters I use old propane tanks like little miniature camper ones it works great the metal fire extinguisher but they're so hard to find

John Ortitay I have a heap probably 10 or 12 empty handheld butane torches And will eventually cut the tops off them and use them but I’ll probably only use them to melt aluminium as I would be hesitant to try brass or copper. What do you melt in the ones you use?

🤣😂. Yeah I always wondered if your phone or what ever just goes apeshit with the notifications 👍🏻. I did that to Adam a while back he had a bit of a giggle 😆

@@bigstackD I laughe dmy ass of when 100 :hearts: came through! LOL Adam is a great fella! :D

Yeah we talk daily me and him 👍🏻

@@bigstackD Hell yeah! You 2 get along great! I hope I see a nice stack of silver coins soon! Maybe a belt buckle as well? LOL

captainjerk belt buckles are way outa my paygrade bro I struggle to make a square fukn doorstop🤣. Silver coins is a definite 👍🏻

1.) 🤣😂😅 2.) Kiwi Shmiwi this is Australia flag Buddy 🤘🏻🍻👍🏻🇦🇺

bigstackD Casting hmmmmmm........ [never fail down under test] AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!

Oi Oi Oi 🍻

darkmerchant1 The way to recognise the Aussie flag is the Southern Cross and the Star of Federation beneath the Union Jack

that was sick

Cheers Chris 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻

Cool I love me some tats 👍🏻

Yeah worked a lot better than expected the good thing is I can add thicker pieces of U Channel and just clamp em on to make the bars what ever size I prefer. I honestly don’t recon the flux really does anything 🤷🏻‍♂️. Maybe it needs to be put in at the start so it melts with the metal and attaches to impurities and helps bring them to the top ? Who knows. I’ve had a million comments over the last year of people saying flux ,use flux ,why didn’t you flux. I just stir the molten then skim and do that as many times as I need and that works fine . Also a lot of people probably don’t realise that you can quite easily pour our the clean metal under the dross/slag and if your careful nearly empty the whole crucible of the good stuff while leaving all the crap behind. ( I should really practice what I preach) eeehh no rush I’ll just keep plodding along.👍🏻.

Nah i havnt yet matey but when I fix my shelves in the next month or so I’ll be definitely weighing the complete collection and I’ll be keeping track of value and weight of anything added or removed from then on👍🏻😁.

Yeah Bro keep it up 🤘😀🤘

The good thing with this is now that I have the base made and welded I can attach different halves of U Channel steel to make the molds as thick or thin as I like👍🏻

🤷🏻‍♂️Yeah your probably right that does sound like something I would write. I got A’s in Math but only C’s in English. Clearly from my vids you can tell I failed science 🤫

I have to watch myself when it comes to using the word 'there' when I mean 'they're' or 'their'. :) www.grammar-monster.com/easily_confused/there_their_theyre.htm

I know right 🤷🏻‍♂️tricky little buggers

VerifyVeracity over there, I have their food, they’re cool

I know I get regular abuse over burning them 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@bigstackD the only way i could tell was that the blue strips weren't reflective, or it could have been the angle.

hopefully it becomes general knowledge so people will leave you alone

yeah they have pink Chinese writing on them but I Fold the notes as to make them look real, I started doing that when I wasn’t getting as many views but now that views picked up a bit maybe it’s time to pull back the curtain 😉.

nah its just a background noise matey my suburb is scaringly quiet so i add it in .

bigstackD Casting nahh like outside of KZfaq

bigstackD Casting because I didn’t see any of these tools in your garage

Oh ok , I’m actually a plant operator on a large industrial site I’ve been there for 20 years it’s a great job , long hours but very easy work👍🏻

@@bigstackD ahh so you do a bit of everything

Yeah I just wanted it to look pretty 🤷🏻‍♂️these big bars I’ll probably keep as they are but the smaller ones I’ll reuse👍🏻
