Cody the only person who's anvil gets more expensive after he buys it

Cody rolling gold joints

1:15 Cody is one of the few people that you don't question that he has a pill maker

I swear Cody just has a blowtorch in arms reach 24/7

Cody's out here rollin gold blunts

welcome back to cody's anvil.

>Gloves for math and gold >screw it for everything else

The rubber glove rubbing against the gold foil is pure hell

Honestly I love your nonchalant way of handling gold. Like it's extremely expensive but you treat it like nickel or tungsten

Cody is the type of guy to design his own vacuum suit just so he can go into a vacuum chamber and refine gold

Platinum is really interesting. The first people for sure to knowingly work it were Incas using a powder based process quite similar to this one. If you do end up processing platinum into a solid piece using this technique, it will hearken back to the first platinum ever purposefully worked by human hands! Neat piece of history.

Nice work! Warm-hammered ("beaten" gold/silver) techniques like these were used in ancient times to make gold leaf only a few micrometers thick, for covering statues and temple relics. It was done in sections, making bigger sheets and cutting out specific shapes or smooth areas from the best part of each sheet to build up the gilding. This is particularly effective for images of "Spirit creatures" covered in geometrically similar scales or feathers. This is referenced in the Old Testament and traces farther back to ancient Sumerian, Chinese, and Hindu smiths and artworks thousands of years earlier. The only more efficient use of material mass was DC electroplating done with early acid batteries, but that technology was rare and then lost for ages. If you want to test the limits of your foil-making for maximum smooth area, try using a ball-peen hammer or (even better) a spherical polished hammer-stone, on a heated anvil surface to maintain an ideal temperature balance. If you are gentle & patient and can tolerate a hot workroom, you could get square-feet of foil per ounce of material.

You should polish that anvil face Cody, or at least a small working surface in the center. That way you can work metals without them taking a texture from the machining marks on the anvil. It also allows you to clean the anvil face much faster and more thoroughly. And it keeps the anvil from holding onto dusts from one material and contaminating another with it.

Where's that list of things he wears gloves for? I'm forgetting a few. Math Nitroglycerin handling powdered gold EDIT: Ah yes, thank you! Uranium, making mouthwash, turkey eggs, gold balls, drinking hydric acid, making Clerci's Solution, and of course handling the notorious butter.

"fold it like a diaper pattern" You sir are not allowed to babysit. XD That's no way to fold a diaper.

The anxiety watching the gold flakes break off as you smash the gold.

"What tobacco do you use to roll your cigarettes with?" - Cody: *grins* "hold my beer"

If I collect dust from his house,I can make a lot of money

Cody put glove to protect what he is playing with from himself.

My science teacher showed the class one of your vids and I was like “hey I watch him!” And everyone was so confused

Only on Cody's Lab will you see someone brush aside like $50 worth of gold like it's dust

Can you cut the gold ball in half so we can see the layers and shells? That'd be pretty cool

Anyone else thinking, "Don't sneeze!!"? Keep going Cody, lovin' it.

Superior gold foil folded over 1000 times

I'm just waiting for "Turning water into wine"

Gonna put it out there again, anvil and hammer should be polished so it leaves a nice shiny burnished surface.

DID THIS GUY JUST MAKE A GOLDEN JOINT?

After folding it over again and again you should rip or cut it on the bias and look at it under a microscope. I would be interested in seeing the layers of cold welded gold

It's funny how you talk about and handle gold like any other random element. After all, despite the hype around it, it's just another metal.

His jump cuts remind me of paranormal activity😂

When he rolled that gold powder into a joint I fucking died

Today on Cody's Lab, rolling solid gold joints!

Who else isn’t some science chemist or anything and watches Cody because he is a great KZfaqr with really good content

You should try to get as many air bubbles as possible then put it in the vacuum chamber.

Thanks Cody, I really never got my head around heat treating and annealing but now I have a much better idea of the process.

Awesome, thank you for all the cool videos. I’m looking forward to seeing you prepare and work platinum.

Platinum gotta be done Cody

Have you measured the density of the gold ball yet? I'd be interested to know just how much empty space there is in there with that rattle and all.

OH MY GOSH DO I LOVE THE VIDEO QUALITY! Thank you for the content cody!

You've probably banged a greater value of particulate onto that anvil than it cost to purchase at hf.

Some people do Coal Rolling, some do Rick Rolling, Cody does Gold Rolling... :P

Cody's lab > Dexter's lab

This is one of the best explanations work hardening ive ever heard

Have you already doubled the value of your anvil by depositing gold on the (very rough) surface?

A thought occurs; Could the bubbles be caused by trapped moisture in the gold powder, and not air..? I don't think air would expand that much... Did you try heating the powder to drive off any moisture before cold-welding it? As usual, Awesome vid.

2018 garden and plants update plz

I love the effort you put in every video. I like the way you produced your content keep making more

*BOOP* I love his videos and his sound effects, also that anvil heating up was so interesting to see

Damn it I’m trying to sleep, now I have to watch this video

Nice I love the longer videos I could seriously watch two or more hours of Cody doing anything he could be taking a fat crap the whole time and I'd be like you go brotha almost there lol😅

Worried about it not being pure... smashes it on rough anvil and gets carbon dust all up in it

Chill video man! Awesome to see that science!

Make metal foam.

Anyone else cringing when he was hammering the gold and the flakes go everywhere?

That explanation of work hardening is amazing. You are a really good teacher. That's something I've never understood but that explanation just made it all make sense.

I'd think the bubbles are from moisture in the gold powder, cooking off under the flame. wouldn't think trapped air would expand that much, compared to the potential of moisture going to gas.

Cody is baller AF rolling a blunt in Gold 🔥🔥

Another great video😎

This was great, just so interesting how it is effected

Awesome intro, and I love the easy and understandable explanation of how work hardening works, my little sis really liked it.

The ball is beautiful, just so you know.

Cody- The best kind of scientist. "Let's see what this does."

That's a very good illustration of workhardening, thank you

It's been years now but I still can't get over Cody's laugh.

gets 15,000$ worth of gold *proceeds to play with it*

The sound those gloves make... :/

I can confirm that the rolling process does work harden the material. Great video Cody!!

The roller is so cool! I would love to see more videos with it

Could the bubbles be a slight amount of moisture trapped?

Anyone else miss the old theme song?

Best technique, thanks for sharing.

Cody I know I am one of the many people commenting on your video however seeing how it is becoming more like summer in Utah I for one would love to see the gardening serious make a comeback as it was always great watching those sorts of videos and learning how to possibly do it in my own home.

Would a lab be able to distinguish that this was made by pressing instead of melting? Is there any difference in the structure of atoms at all?

When will Cody's mine be making a return?

Thanks for this great video, always interesting! Keep the good work, thanks 1000 times!

You thought all these mainstream rappers had clout, but they don’t roll real gold blunts like Cody. Cody is the real clout god.

Make some gold plates and you could have yourself a regular little tourist attraction for Utah ;)

So, you turned gold powder into gold leaf essentially, nice.

Congratularions Cody, Now that you have encountered Cracking, Work Hardening and Heat Normalizing in metals, while hitting them with a hammer on an anvil you have become a blacksmith!

i just love how you do little tests to find stuff out for yourself :)

_Gold Burritos with Cody Gonzales_

That's cold Cody .... cold welded that is :D

"You should say the word: "i'm gonna try rolling it up"... [indecipherable]" - girl in the background at 11:53

It was cool to get an actual explination on what work hardening actually was other than just the metal getting hard. I can say I learnt something new.

Can you cold weld the gold dust or other metal dusts in a vacuum chamber? If that works, couldn't you do a mold of sorts, where you just have to anneal it? Just googled it and there are no mentions of what would happen.

cody makes fresh pasta?

When other youtubers get rich, they buy expensive cars and clothing. On the other hand, Cody just buys more and more gold!! I love it

I don't know if this has already been said but Material Science Engineer (in training) here and this process is called sintering. When the loose 'snowflake crystals' are packed together to form a rough shape then the material is heated without liquifying it, the crystals undergo growth and densification happens, as voids in the material shrink and the individual crystals form grain boundaries between each other. I don't think that the material is work hardening because there isn't a microstructure before the pellet is formed but Still a great video!!

just wondering.... why do you have a pill maker?

Cody rolling a gold blunt 12 days too late

The folding and rolling procedure with the powder reminds me of getting a low hydration noodle dough together.

this video is so relaxing

...cut a nice line of that gold, roll up a $1000 bill and snort it.

Anneal and repeat...

If you get it to work with platinum, then you should try welding them to each other - make a precious metals analog of Damascus steel.

This feels like rolling a gold poweder joint in solid gold paper lol. Nice vid cody!

I can't wait for the gardening series

you are getting some gold dust all over.

I love the squeaky sound the gold makes, I would have never thought that I would find gold ever cute.

Great video!.. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very informative. 👍👍
