A huge thanks to my parents who collected these cans for me the past several months ! Also thanks to www.baller.be for supplying me these T-shirts (only Belgian and Dutch people will know what these mean :) Soon there will be some 'PressTube' Merch also !! Who would buy PressTube Merch?

Me: “That’s at least 6 kg.” Him: “3 kg.” Me: “What… Oh wait, that’s aluminium.”

Now you can make an iron pickaxe

For future reference, when making massive ingots like those, you might try dusting the inside of the mold with a little powdered graphite. It'll help the mold release the ingot.

In the US scrap cast aluminum is about $0.30 per pound. So 20 lbs of aluminum is worth about $6 in the US. It's not about the money is about what you can make with it which makes it more valuable. Paint is very cheap but fine art in a museum costs substantially more. It's all about what you do with the artistic medium that counts. People will pay much more for a car pulley or a toothed gear than the material it's made from. My point is it's not the scrap that's valuable it's what you do with it that matters most. Thank you for your video. I absolutely love your grinder and foundry setup. It's a high quality setup and one you should be genuinely proud of. Great video, I learned a lot.

Your videos are so satisfying to watch. Also, I really appreciate that you use the Internation System instead of the English System. Do NOT let them change you.

Me: Where is the ice? Freshly casted aluminium ingot: Gone, reduced to atoms.

Mooi Nederlands shirt, vind hem leuk😎👍

These projects probably take so much time and effort yet you still put videos out on schedule plus they are quality content and that is why I am part of the notification squad of you're channel. P.S. keep up the good work.

I very much enjoyed this video. I also have made a home furnace to melt aluminium and brass. I have found that a small amount of table salt helps separate the dross from the aluminium for a significantly better yield. My experience has been that the dross, when hot, has an ash-like consistency and is very frangible after it has cooled. Thank you very much for posting these videos.

You are honestly one of the best channels on KZfaq :)

That is one beautiful ingot my friend!

The casting vids are back!! Best videos ever!

Looks like nearly 50% in volume is slag, plastic lining, paint and lacquer. Nice ingots and good video.

I did this once as a teenager (I’m upper teens now, but that was lower teens). My friend and I started a giant fire in their backyard, and melted a ton of aluminum cans and a bit of foil to increase the purity. We even used an air mattress air pump to give the crucible more air. Their mom thought that we had meant a few pieces of paper on fire when we asked, and not a homemade forge. We had 10 gallons of water on standby in case something went wrong (when we put it out, the 5 gallon bucket wasn’t enough, so we had to use the second one). Their mom actually let us do it when she found out! She just supervised us afterwards. That was an interesting day.

That shredders got be the best garden toy you can have I could play with that all day everyday it's awesome and satisfying to watch

I really admire your work

that's a lot of slag. think you could get maybe half an ingot more if you purify that!

Thanks for the video to satisfy the BASE LINE OF HUMAN DNA of creation+restoration+construction etc. I don't have any kind of stuff to do these things BUT ,,,,, Now , I think I am doing these things , through your hands. Thanks again for your valuable videos.

Very cool to get to see this in action. Good stuff.

Nice video, not clickbait like I expected

Já estava com saudades desses tipos de vídeo. ❤

I don't know what it is about this video but I love watching it over and over again I guess all I can say is that it is awesome 👍 keep them coming 👍

By seeing a hole with a hell hot flame I’m already sure ima enjoy dis. Also the crushed cans/aluminium material looks cool

I have several comments. First, the aluminum in can form is valuable as scrap, (To make new cans.) A better thing to melt would be to get ond pistons, heads etc. The alloy from the castings will give you stronger castings for your project. Next, if you would have made smaller ingots, you could have just re-melted them next time. By making ingots bigger than your crucible now you have to chop them up before you can melt them.

ik ben geen Nederlander omdat ik dit spul heb vertaald, maar ik wil zeggen dat dit een geweldige video is

I love this content because you make me very happy

Those aluminum ingots are sweet!

We loved your channel

If you still have one of them send it to DemolitionRanch so he can make a video

This is the FIRST Video I have seen where someone shredded things and actually used what was left of them to make something else

Toffe t-shirt. Ik ben een bear!🐻

You should put your mold on top of your furnaces. You will get t a better ingot no air bubbles

Your videos are so satisfying .... I watch then again and again ...- love from india.

It’s amezing that shredder did not get overloaded with all these cans,but it was cool to see that shredding & melting process, too bad you could not fill in the entire block atonce but still it was cool to watch it👍

ThIs is my fist video of yours that I’ve seen and I have to say I’m already a fan

I wish I had the stuff to do this coz this is awsome!

This video earned you hundreds of times as much money as the metal could ever be worth though.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm deliriously tired and cannot focus, but that bear tshirt is the best thing I've seen all week. I need one. Great video.

Am I the only one that finds all of his videos relaxing?

Did you weigh all the cans together before?

Je komt uit 🇧🇪 ik vind jouw een leuke KZfaqr

Great video!

Awesome work , thanks for sharing

This is so cool

In Germany you cant do this..or better said it wont make sense. In Germany you get 0,25 € for a can if you bring it back to the supermarkets.

Might as well call me grape I’m so jelly of your shredder for processing the cans!😂 Sweet setup. 👍🏻

when I see your video I'm too satisfied because of your forge sounds great and make more and more these kind of vdo lots of love from india

2 favorite maschines in the video

Aren’t you spending more money on propane gas than the value of the aluminum? Excuse my naive question, I really don’t know

I’m going to make some metal from aluminum cans and pennies at my dads ranch tomorrow. Thank you for showing me how :)

its getting harder and harder to find cool videos on youtube. this was a cool one. very interesting

He made $22-$25 of those bars. But hey you can buy more cans now.

I respect that you spelt aluminium correctly

I never thought I’d see the day that I would find shredding and melting cans relaxing 😂😂. This is so cool.

Ok...I LOVE your accent...So... It's like silk! 😍

Wow what a cool video

Where does one buy a shredder like that? Also, the furnace?

this was very satisfying to watch

Nice set up. For some reason I find this rather therapeudic.

I took some cast aluminum in to sell and the value was less than the loose cans per pound I took in.

Need about 100 of thos ingots to make som good armour in Skyrim

At 8:04 I could swear I saw an Innova DiscCatcher in the yard. That is awesome! Disc on, brother!

Idk how but its satysfying af

Aahahahaha legend, ik ben een bear😂 en ik ben het bang bang saapjen😂 hou van je videos bro

Sjiek 😮 nu heb je geen blauwe vuilzakken meer nodig 😂

The slag removal is also very satisfying to watch

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO

Me: Hell is not a bad word You: Oh hell no! You said a bad word!

U T-SHIRT IS GENIAAL BEN, Ik ben een bang bang sapjien en zou graag nog eens een casting video zien! ;)

I can’t believe I haven’t found this channel before!

Really a great job love your videos

Nices Video

Je bent Nederlands kom ik nu pas achter

Hey if you let your aluminum harden a bit more between pours would they break apart if you hit them with a hammer? If so that would be like the little 1gram gold/silver sheets that break apart.

Great video thanks! :D

Dankzij de reacties weet ik dat je belgs ben ga door met youtube je doet t goed💪✌

Wouldn't layering the ingots like that trap impurities in the middle?

Where I got this full foundry with all equipment except propane gas cylinder and 1kg aluminium collect in how many cans want to do it

I'm curious what do you guys do with the ingots once you're done with them

Probeer serieus te blijven, het vertalen van de gewichten naar Imperiale eenheden is zinloos en wordt in 99% van de landen op deze Aardkloot niet begrepen.

Ik ben een bang bang saapjen, en ik ben een beer😂😂😂

I need to upgrade to a gas furnace! My charcoal one can only get so hot. Nice video

You can lessen the amount of dross if you put flux in with the aluminum shavings ie. borax soap or table salt.

Also imagine how much money it took to keep that fire going

Also HOLY ALUMINUM THATS ALOT OF CANS

Je maakt zo'n goede videos!

I showed this to a friend. In Australia, there is an aluminium can buy back at Woolworths. Apparently there are about 71 aluminium cans in a kilo. The can-buyback would give you $7.10 for those cans. BUT a kilo of aluminium at scrap merchants would only give you $1.25 for a kilo.

Very interessent :)

Scrap solids of aluminum in area when sold brings about .70 cents per lb. 22.4 lbs you got there is worth 15.68. New plate costs about 3 dollars a lb. cans when returned to a store, brings .10 cents each. You 100.00 there and turned into 16 bucks only. In your area, you must not be paid much for "bottle returns" Nice video very interesting. Thanks.

Haha lekkere video man ga zo door

I seriously need to get into aluminium casting.

I freaking want to do this now lol

You should make a full solid aluminium can with it

I used to do this with a simple campfire. Would build a sort of "oven" area in the wood\fire and just throw the cans in. After a few months I would scrape off all the ashes and pull out a huge lump of metal from the bottom

Very satisfying

awsome video! what did you do with all of the can tabs?

This is what I call recycling

For a person from Belgium your English is very good

I'm interested in that flaming cage behind you. You made that or where did you buy it from? Thanks
