After watching farm craft, I remembered why Big is the only melting channel I subscribe to. It's actually so much more entertaining NOT hearing someone talk, and then there's always the dogs, we love the boys!!

mid 70's my dad (an engineer) was working on a site next to an abandoned mill due for demolition, full of old machines and wiring, so he asked if he could take the wiring, and at the time no-one was bothered or seemed to know the potential value of it, so he brought home masses of it, spending night after night in the garage stripping it with a stanley knife. He made enough to take us all on holiday and buy us all new tracksuits amongst other things. I dont know if i could have been bothered myself knowing the time it took him, but he seemed to like doing it and got a kick out of 'free' money i suppose :)

"These holes will ad character" I say the same thing about the rust holes on my truck. Lol

I LOVE this video! You show us that anyone can melt copper and how to do it safely! I love the creative part of video with buying electric stripper and the boxes and planes, that was awesome. Again, thanks for sharing!

I watched it upside down to give it the real Australian look.

Ah mate… when you said you were doing a video on Strippers, I got all excited. I grabbed a beer, some popcorn and my 3D googles. You can imagine how disappointed I was. Then I saw that gorgeous green flame and it was all worth it. Nice one mate!!!

First time watching. The ingot wall at the end made my jaw drop

My family owns a scrap yard and it gave me a little ptsd watching you strip that wire down. God they made me strip wire day after day for months before they let me have at it with the fun big machines. Thanks youtube algorithm now I'm gunna have nightmares all night haha

9:59 "Press 'X' to Take All" *You are overencumbered*

Laughed my ass off at the wire stripper being ordered mailed and shipped. Great editing!

After binge-watching this channel the last few days, I think it's safe to say that watching the hot metal melting the block of ice is one of my favorite parts of these videos! Love this channel so much, and I'm so glad I found it!!

I worked for a company that did a lot of electrical work, We saved all the replacement and offcut wiring and stripped it in our spare time. That got turned into a nice Christmas bonus for all the workers.

Man! I love that last gaze to your treasure...I don't have the infrastructure to melt all the wire that I have...but I don't want to drop it in the garbage.

I used to do this as a hobby back in 2014-2016 so much that when all said and done I made about $400 i lied to myself and said it was for money but really it was therapy stripping the wires and spooling them up. I could have done 100 other things to make more money but for me, it was satisfying to do and helped with my stress and medical conditions. Don't expect to get rich but as far as a hobby goes at least this one pays for itself as long as you keep your copper #1 and wait to sell when metal prices are higher.

All elements have a varying level of electrons, the electrons are arranged in layers around the nucleus, the first layer contains 1 electron and so on. When exposed to extreme heat, copper has an electron that likes to jump up a level and remain stable for a while but will then jump back down to it's normal electron layer, this jump causes the bright green color we see as its burning, various other elements will do this, but violet and blue flames are the hardest to achieve because they require not only extreme heat but many electron layers, meaning a heavier element. The same applies to fireworks in this case, the same method of super heating an element will give off that bright color we see when it explodes. Just a little Chemistry knowledge to help understand the natural process. Hope your having a wonderful day!

FINALLY youtube recommends me one of your older videos where the DIRTY LITTLE STRIPPER made its first appearance!!!!!! And little Ingot is so tiny here! So cute. And we finally see the consequences of forgetting to put cardboard between the crucible and the firebrick hahahahaha.

HEY YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE DONT FORGET TO WATCH MY AUSTRALIAN THEMED VID🍻.lots of redback spiders great bushlands and awesome beaches you won’t be disappointed 😉😆👍🏻 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qa6cdbOl28vNh6s.html

I thought you were gonna try melting it unstripped, lol. Probably would make you abandon the house from the smell of burning plastic.

Just saw this for the first time, fantastic seeing the difference between then and now. You've....... Evolved !!

That shelf full of blades, and assorted metal bars and coins you've made looks awesome.

Awesome man! I just did a scrap run yesterday, $596.23, I try and clean and separate it as much as possible but some of it is just so much work, I’ll definitely be looking into the electric stripper you got there. It all adds up, I just keep my eyes open for anything of value while I’m at work, my wife thinks my scrap piles look awful but when I bring home $600 she doesn’t mind the look of cold hard cash! Lol. Great channel, I subscribed instantly, love it!

wow, I thought you were just having fun but after seeing your stash... I know you are making a backup plan lol

That's the fastest FedEx delivery I've ever seen in my life. 😁👍

My dad and I stayed in a Caravan while digging a new storm drain on Boston dock England..the wasteland we parked on was where an old factory had stood and we came across the 2inch supply cable still buried in the ground. Every evening after work dad would dig out the cable with the JCB and I would cut into 1 meter length.. Every weekend we would go home with the van full and almost popping wheelies from the weight of wire 😂we spent a 6 weeks on the job..my dad had an old fella boil and strip the wire..god knows what they made from it but dad wouldn't tell me and I only got £50 for my trouble..but it was one of the best times I ever had just me and the old man..and I wouldn't have had it any other way. 😊so glad I have that memory now he's gone.. P.S. I'm a plumber by trade now and still keep every piece of scrap. I must invest in a smelter and start my own bar shelve..love it 😎

7:03 Inserts tab popping sound and holds up unopened can.

I’ve never had the slightest interest of melting metals so why am I binge watching most of your videos?😂 So satisfying to watch👍

The Dog Yawning and seeing the machine work was the best part

I had a great gig back in 2011 with a small local scrap yard to strip their wire with my equipment. Even after paying a helper(12/hr) I made really good money. They had been hoarding wire for years I wasn't even close to finished when I moved on to something else. If I remember right copper was at an all time high

You have inspired me to get into smelting. Your shelves are GORGEOUS.

The most clear Coper I've ever seen!

Love your videos man! smelting therapy 😌 I don’t know if you know this or not but don’t be afraid to tap your mold while the metal is still liquid to avoid those crevices and bubbles on your ingots. sorry if someone already told you this. keep these videos up !!

All I can hear is "Honey! That crazy neighbor is at it again!" being said off in the distance.

He owns electric stripping machine. That is the only answer I need.

I understand the satisfaction and artistic value of casting your own copper ingots. But if all you want to do is sell stripped copper for scrap value, why waste the time and the fuel costs by melting it? Scrap metal merchants will take it as a block or as wire, so melting it isn't necessary. In fact, if the wire is clean and free from any plastic or oxidized residues, they sometimes pay a higher price, since copper wire is guaranteed to be of the highest purity. Melting it down into blocks actually introduces impurities (not just on the surface), so your cast blocks won't be electrical grade any more. You could mitigate that by melting it in a ceramic (alumina or magnesia) lined induction furnace rather than a fuel-burning furnace, which would introduce fewer impurities. Or you could try electro-refining, which is how copper is purified into electrical grade industrially. This is easier than you might think: Make a solution of copper sulfate or copper nitrate to use as the electrolyte, use a sheet of pure, clean copper as the cathode and any lump of impure copper as the anode. Immerse both and pass a direct current through. The electrolyte acts as a transfer medium for copper ions, which are dissolved from the cathode and deposited on the anode as long as current flows. The electrolyte is not decomposed or consumed by this process, so can be re-used as much as you like. Most metals can be refined this way, if you can find a soluble salt of the metal to act as the electrolyte.

People Always miss the critical step of smashing a block of water ice with the finished ingot. It confirms the correct mass, density, and increases thermal and electrical conductivity by ten to the power of minus 15 percent. Great job Bruh, err, Mate!

The spider was protecting your loot from thieving flys they exist I promise there out there

Mate. You're bloody Australian! We can never have too many bevys after a solid effort. Great job as always!

First ASMR recycling video ever seen. Satisfying.

I've been a "scrapper" for years and have actually made a living at it from time to time, and "depending" on the type of wire, yes it pays to strip wire. Smaller stranded is not advantageous, like regular retention chords, lamp wires, speaker wire, vacuum cleaner chord, etc) too time consuming to be profitable (just scrap it as insulated). Also, melting it to make ingots is not advantageous either. The cost of materials to melt it would ear you profits.

Love how you value our resources! Big thumbs up!

Damn good idea! My husband and I recycle all the time ( scrap ). We buy unstripped copper #1 and clean it then sell it back to them for clean price! Doing it for extra income for years! We make 400$ on a good week ($300) profit. $200 profit on a bad week. Never really any less than that. We have had some rough weeks! We use our profit to buy more un-clean copper. Strip it sell it back for a profit.

Loving the night time shots. So pretty also the sounds as well of the metal sounds like oil heating in a pan. I've not noticed that before in a video.

I love the editing very well made , no boring voices , just facts ,and statistics

9:57, this dude stacked all the items he collected in his gameplay in a single location, most unwise

"When Melting during the day you can't see the nice green" Yes copper burns such a pretty green flame. FUN FACT: copper powder is added to make green fireworks

Your level of scrap saving is satisfying 😁

Every man goes through the blacksmith stage and I love it

This guy had so much fun with crafting systems in games. He does it in real life. I don't know if the value of that shelf is crazy high but it's value is probably more stable than any countries currency. Well done.

This is quality content my dude 👌

Dude, you deserve a like and a sub... Awesome video and editing!!

I installed alarm and fire alarm systems and it was a small company but they were just leaving the excess copper wiring behind and i made so much extra money. i would strip solid wire with a homemade stripper and just trade in braided wire un-stripped since it always meant that there would be one to many layers on plastic to mess with(unless it was some thick Grounding wire). The one day a week i would spend 3-5 hours on the wire would add up to cover almost all my monthly rent and utility bills. I would have worked there for ever if the business didn't go under after 8 years( the fact that they weren't smart enough to save the extra wire should let you know why they only lasted 8 years). Even if your lazy about it turning in copper wire with plastic still on it can add up to a nice free vacation or 2 each year. Also recycle places have a rule about not being able to just burn off the plastic in the U.S. and they could normally tell because copper would be "dirty" but a trick i found out from an old timer was to save the wire that wasn't easy to strip and wait till winter and make a fire burn the plastic off and wait like 30 seconds out of the fire and throw the plastic fee wire into the snow rub it around a bit and it would come out clean enough. I don't know if it had to be snow and cold , but i tired it with just water before and didn't work so idk why snow made the diffidence.

The most cleanest pour i've ever seen in this channel

Ngl, this clip definitely had an awesome personality. So much so, it made me a subscriber.

His metal hoard is so satisfying to look at

Back in the late 50’s my electrician father worked as a general foreman on some large jobs. My job was to scour the job site for scrap, and maybe not so scrap copper wire. He saves it up and every year he would cram it all in a 55 gallon drum with some holes poked around the base. Poured a quart or so of kerosine followed by a match. That wire burned off clean enough to suit the scrap dealers. Probably not very environmentally sound but very effective.

Pretty similar price in this area right now. And it IS worth it to me. I don't cast bricks from it, or use a machine, but it's DEFINITELY worth my time. I do employ pulleys and a similar stripping method. And I've had ideas for making my own machine out of scrap material using a drill motor for the pulling. I don't like buying anything if I can fashion it myself. Re-purposing is always on my mind. Keep up your videos man. Always enjoy them.

another great video! look forward to next friday

Night shots look mint. The wire stripper parcel coming to you was funny too ! 🤣

don't know how i got here but this is strangely relaxing to watch.

this is a calm version fo how to basic in my eyes

Strip. Strip. Strip... Oh wait, this isn't the tube channel I'm looking for. ...Carry on.

Every time I realize that setting up a forge in my apartment setup is a terrible idea, another of your vids pop up! That copper bullion is worth so much more than its weight.

I love this guys dog. Always just chillin

Dude you are cool as hell. I could watch this all day.

You have to factor in the cost of all the meth required to want to strip wires.

Nicely put together video this was nice work!

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos for us to enjoy.

Just started watching these videos, does this guy do this for profit or is it just a hobby thing? Whatever it is it's hella satisfying to watch.

My mate used to be an apprentice sparky, the boss would make him strip cable with a Stanley knife if there was nothing to do. Took hours to do one roll but the price they were getting from the recyclers was worth it

9:56 The ending was epic... Legit brotha! this is interesting! awesome and entertaining vid

So relaxing to watch your videos, thanks!

Sweet bar! I’m sure that new stripping machine is much better than the old one 👍🏻 trying to knock off the fire brick reminds me of something stupid I would try and do 😂😂 good job bro! 🍺🍺😄

You know when you ask the question is it worth it I'm thinking he'll know and then I saw how f****** clean it was inside your Berner you can see the bottom incredible I've never seen that hell of a job

Dude you kill me 😂. Love your videos. ⚡️🦄⚡️

Sending unstripped cable to the scrapyard is literally a rip-off here. Seeing your videos is inspirational, I'll definitely be stripping the thicker cables from now on! And, if I ever get myself a forge, melt ingots out of them! 😁

You're just waiting for the world to end and back in the stone ages with all those bars 🤣🤣

Heard those spiders in Australia are so tough they take your girl...lol

Love these vids. Watched almost all of them

That fedex edit was hilarious man really enjoyed it😂🔥

Just found this dude on KZfaq. Watches most of the videos and I loved it. Great content, and nice editing.

You must know Srg Forge like s your videos. You have hard work with very good humour

I had a neighbor who worked at a marina. Scrap copper wire was dropped in the dumpster and he would take it home. When spare time came around then he would strip the insulation off. It is spare time when there is nothing else need be done that produces income. The insulted wire can sit there until he gets around to it as it does not go bad. He did not melt it down into ingots and sold as is.

My father used to strip cables for hours and hours. Stripping the insulation off, then taking the copper to a scrap yard. He'd also collect the aluminium soft drink ring-pulls (They used to be strewn all of the place, footpaths, roads etc, back then). And he never got much money for the hours of work. I am talking hours and hours, staying up most of the night burning wood/coal and power for a few quid!

I heard that in America, stripping is easier. BTW: for those that are new to this, that green flame is copper oxide and is toxic to breathe. It's pretty as hell, just vent it away. (Copper is commonly used in fireworks to give it the green color... Or Colour, if you prefer.)

Is it worth it?, HELL YEAH you mold a dope ass plate armor with it!

Always enjoy your videos,thanks for sharing.

Loved the Guy ritchian montage.

Cable copper is much cleaner (99.9%) than other copper from wather and heat lines (sometimes under 80% copper)... Make sure you sell it as high grade copper...

gees is that your retirement fund at end?🍻

Love the sense of humour in the editing.

Was having a tough day, this helps a lot

It's a lot quieter during the night, I could hear that "Snap, Crackle, Pop" sound coming from the crucible as you poured.

Metal bars are sexy to look at, starting to understand how people went "gold crazy" back in the day

what an amzing vid! Never thought about making bars....great job mate!

That was some fast shipping 😁 I enjoy your videos

Sells copper ingot... Heads back down to tattoo parlor...

Definitely worth it considering it's scrap gathered free ...

Wooow...I like your'e shelf at the end with all the metals and stuff on it

Came to comment on this video for the GAW because this is the first video I watch and then the addiction started 😂 and now I have a forge of my own
