How is everyone ? today is the day I finally clean up my furnace. I've done hundreds of melts and it's actually held up pretty well but now she'll hold up for years to come. Now if you enter the giveaway the details are in the description but just be aware whenever there's a giveaway the scammers come out of the woodwork and try to trick people into saying they have won and then get them to leave KZread to talk to them pretending to be me and then they will ask for gift cards or delivery payments so just be very aware of who you're talking to in the comments. Anyway enough of that so be sure to have an awesome weekend and I'll hopefully see you all next Friday😁👋🏻

I like the Skull and Cross all stainless steel bracelet. That was so hard to choose between so many great pieces!

Question, pretty sure it was here, couple years back watched you brew some magnificent looking tea with these dried chunks of something tea came out vibrant red, I need that in my life, ring any bells?

I gotta say, the buddha god of wealth is looking mighty and evil, mang ☝☝

This guy is just out here living his best life.

Loved the restoration and really appreciate the warnings/disclaimers you put on your videos to remind people that are otherwise unknowing just how dangerous this type of work/hobby is. Common sense isn't common if it's no longer taught so thank you for the lessons. 😊

Great video. Never have seen a furnace relined/refurbished before so really appreciate you sharing details. The brass ingots are terrific looking as well. I love the Silver/Gold Futhark Runes Compass Viking Ring! Thanks and please keep those videos coming! Cheers.

Getting to see you take care of your equipment can be just as interesting as the melts. Thanks!

Considering the amount of thermal stress these forges survive, and the sheer amount of heating cycles for our entertainment, it is amazing that they last so long.

That's kaowool for you

My boyfriend and I watch your videos with our daughter every week! We really enjoyed this week’s video. My favorite ring is the Thistle and Thorns stainless steel ring. We look forward to your videos every week and it’s nice bonding time. Our daughter is 3 months old and my boyfriend works 50+ hours a week. We’re working on moving into a new apartment and nothing is a clear routine except when we sit down every Friday to see your upload. Thank you so much for your content!

As a 90s kid i will always have a soft spot for the bike chain bracelets. I havent owned one in years, but it reminds me of the good old days lol. Thank you for the awesome videos!

Really enjoy your posts and look forward to fridays, great restore on that old furnace looks like new. can't say which ring I like best all are great. Give the boys a scratch for me

Awesome video, quick note for anyone using Hydrochloric acid, or muriatic acid to clean parts, be sure to use some baking soda to neutralize the acid as of there is any left it will continue to eat at the metal (and also use ventilation!!!)

Thanks for another giveaway! That Futhark Viking Compass ring is amazing! And I loved how you had to trick Ingot into eating the cucumber. 😂 I'm always surprised at how much dirt is in the bullet casings. Anyway, thanks again for another awesome vid!

Great to see a man take care of his tools. Bravo. The boys looked a little 😔 today. Bet they can't wait to be with you full time. Keep up the great vids wait patiently every week for a new one. Thanks bud

I absolutely loved the forge restoration. Really neat!

I love the vintage pattern gem rings ... it's awesome to watch you every Friday , ive gone back to the first video and binged watch all of them to catch up .... my wife and I love seeing Ingot, and Bullion. They are so adorable ....

Okay buddy all is good I have heard back now from four of the six winners and once I verify the last two I will send a list of your emails to gothic.com and they will send out the digital voucher that can be used straightaway. I’ll let you know once I have sent the emails to them so you can keep an eye out for the voucher👊🏻😁

Man, the amount of residual sulfur never ceases to amaze me in these casings...

Great video as always. It never occurred to me that it was stainless steel wrapping the furnace. For some reason I thought the inside was more of a foam material, so I learned a lot. As for the ring, I suppose you can't go wrong with a St Christopher ring.

That furnace turned out like it's brand new, great job and thank you bigstackD Casting for sharing a piece of your world with us.

My 6 year old son and I watch this every Friday night. He loves this, and he’s learning so much! Your video is part of his bedtime routine these nights and he looks forward to it. Thank you for putting these videos out. It really makes a difference for him. I can’t tell you his favorite part because he’s probably enamored with it all, it’s probably the dogs, but he knows why you put the cardboard under the crucible every time and tells me. So, thank you for teaching him something that isn’t a video game ❤

Great video. Planning on melting and casting in a few years. Watching your videos is the next best thing. The vintage dragon scale stainless steel bracelet looks awesome.

Very cool stuff on that site. I really like the Viking themed stuff, especially the Celtic Hammer Stainless Steel Bracelet. I love the design of the little hammers, they're sick. They remind me of the one somebody found recently metal detecting and made news.

Świetna robota 👍 Ładne pieski 🐕 🖐️

I would love another massive motor meltdown, it's super satisfying and I've seen your old one probably like 20+ times. Love the videos, keep up the amazing work 😀 edit. I like the wolf tooth stainless steel beast pendant

Thank you for all of your videos that you share with us every friday. I love watching you in the evening for a relaxing metal melt. As for the ring choice, Fenris-wolf Stainless Steel Viking Ring looks great!!!

It must feel great to use a newly restored furnace. Especially if you restored it yourself. I like the retro simple plain square ring. Gives solid vibes.

Awesome and thank you for the great video! Now all we need is a friend to park their aluminum plane next to your place so you can help it be formed into a new aluminum plane. Also seeing the Ingot and Bullion is another reason for why this channel is the best!!!

Love your videos, can’t wait to see the boys at the new place. Excited for another Nordic gold video, also the Eye of Providence stainless steel spinner ring is amazing.

So many many great pieces, but that Indian Warrior Bear Head is 🔥 What amazing work! That tribal chief stainless is definitely a must have as well. Fairly new to the page. Thanks for the awesome content brother 🙏

I think the Aztec Jaguar Warrior ring is really cool looking. Also the restoration looked great!

My favorite ring is the leviathan cross stainless steel ring! This video was super interesting I love it! As I've been watching you I've always been curious about the process for cleaning out a furnace and I'm glad you give us little peeks into the nitty-gritty of smelting and casting!

You have some excellent boys, glad to see they'll be coming to be with you again. I love the Sugar skull ring with the skulls in its eye sockets, but the flying dragon ring is a close second. Thanks for sharing your meltdowns with us.

Love seeing the furnace maintenance! Will definitely be a help if I ever get one for myself. As for the giveaway, it's a tough call for me between the dragon bones whip bracelet and the Viking crow head bracelet. I'd be super thrilled to get either.

Thank you for all of the great content, and congrats on the new place

I enjoy things that remind me of nature. As such, the forest wood ring and the dragon spine rings are the two that caught my eye. Simple and nature inspired. Thank you for taking us through the process of replacing the lining in the forge. It was cool.

I see Ingot was being a little finicky today. Thanks for such awesome videos. I look forward to them every Friday. Would love to see another motor or big copper melt or something that you have to take apart with lots of aluminum and copper. You're a pretty amazing person. Where are u hiding your snack next week? I like the Anubus stainless steel ring.

You video are very calming. I like that you showed how you maintain your equipment. I never know what was in the forge and didn't know some products existed. Very informative.

The chain bracelet you tried on is my favorite. Thank you for all of the great content, and congrats on the new place!!!!

So glad the boys will be with you soon! 🥰 The jewelry is all so beautiful! What fantastic craftsmanship! The celtic flying dragon is so cool but they are all gorgeous pieces of art! 😁

it's very interesting to see all the things that go into melts and stuff, from the actual melts to the cleanup to the restoration. My favourite ring is the Tree of Life Stainless Steel Viking Ring the Silver and Gold Variant. keep up the good work

Hey bigstackD, love your videos. The consistency and quality of content really isn't seen much anywhere else on youtube these days. As for the giveaway, I liked the dragon spine stainless steel ring. Cheers!

Happy late turkey day BigstackD.. I love everything you make but I have to say the claw skull ring is one of my favorites . As well as the red lines viking ring. Love your videos keep up the amazing work .

Thank you for showing the cement portion of the forge restoration. I always had questions about that. The st-benedict-stainless-steel-cross ring in black or the coin ring is really nice. Not really what alot of people are into but i think its extremely nice. Thanks again for yet another awesome video....... Cant wait until the next one.

Did not know how much i needed a bigstackd restoration vid! Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it.

Always look forward to seeing your melts every single week. Saturday morning. Peace and quite and your melts. But hey lets not forget get coffee. Can’t wait to see the new melting area come together and just amazing how you brought your furnace back to life for another many rounds of melts. Have an awesome week.

Mate, newish subscriber here. I'm about a month in and you're saving my life. I'm a long distance coach driver who's had a bad broken leg. I'd go mad without your vids. I'm so happy to see that your new shed was up and running but you were still building your new house 😂

Great to hear buddy👊🏻 yeah priority one was get the shed ready and the beer fridge plugged in🍻🍻🍻

The restored furnace looks so good now! But it reminds me that I need to do that myself😅. Those small ingots start to grow on me after seeing you pour a couple of them. They look awesome! Great job! I’m a big fan of the “ archangle saint Michael stainless steel ring “ the silver/gold one in particular😉.

My boyfriend and I love your videos! We watch everytime one comes on! The videos are so relaxing and the boys are beyond cute! Love seeing them every video! My 8 year old granddaughter (who watches since she was 5) and I also say "Thank you for saving the planet every melt you do"! I love any of the Celtic or more unusual pieces of jewelry. Keep melting on my friend!!!!

Your new place looks awesome lots of nice room to do your thing. I dont have a favorite. Just enjoy the videos you put up every Friday and have not missed one. Keep up the good work.

Love it when you melt casings!! I’ve been looking forward to the forge restoration since you mentioned it a couple few months back. Nicely done!! And a silly useless side note, a recent weigh in was 1,977. I took note because that’s my birth year and my birthday happened that week.

Excellent vid as always. Very many thanks for the great work and time you put into these. Is good to see you managed to take the crows to the new place too 😂😂 The Tree of Life stuff is great as matches in with my ink work too So very tempted to start melting and casting myself….think I will have to start small though

The Dragon Spine ring looks amazing. Keep up the great work, it is now a tradition to watch your videos before bed with my wonderful wife.

I'm loving that green eye ring. Seeing you recoating that furnace was pretty sweet. My husband and I watch your videos every Friday.

Really cool video as always! Didn't exactly know how the furnace was without all that matting, so nice to see as well. And my favourite ring of all is the Futhark Runes Compass Viking Ring, the gold and silver version, it just looks like straight up treasure lol

I have been waiting for a full treatment video for ages, worth the wait compared to others. Also I am not sure how I have not found that site yet, the Celtic knot / compass bracelet is fantastic. Keep the vids coming please, it's the only way I can experience a dream hobby currently, haha

Really cool first ingot in your new mold . And love the restoration of your furnace too .👍👍

Thank you bigstacksD Casting for your weekly posts, another great video. Very useful and informative videos. They inspired to make my own furnace out of scrap finds an old gas bottle, cocktail shaker, leafblower and BBQ coals (It actually worked, managed to melt copper). Eventually I saved up for a 10kg Devil Forge (amazing bit of kit). It has bought me many hours of fun melting and learning how to cast. Love the new workshop.

i like how the furnace turned out looks brand new keep going i love how calming the smelting is (i like the stainless steel eagle claw ring)

Always love the uploads with the boys 🙂 Ty for showing us the real deal on the forge re-lining. It was awesome! I like anything that's forged. A Ring.. Pendant anything It's all very nice stuff 🙂

Honestly one of my favourite channels on KZread, been watching since around my 250kg in the stack and loved every video since! Can't wait to get to the tonne!

I usually watch your videos all the way through, but today, all the time I spent cooking for Thanksgiving caught up with me, and the sound of the furnace gave me a nod. But I came back when I heard the ingots getting cleaned up. ASMR really works, lol!😁

Always wanted to get my own furnace but when i see you need to coat your own at home i get worried. Finally get to see how it's done and i'm more confident now. Christmas gift has been written down for my wife to find :) It's about time i used the 1000+ coke cans i have stored in my shed :) My favourite thing on your website is the Thors Hammer Braided Rope Viking Bracelet

Its great seeing the stack grow! Getting closer to target now, interested to see what you have planned to take you over the threshold! And i love the dragon scale bracelet

I've been waiting for the forge resto vid. You've done a lot of work to the new place and it's looking fantastic. Still loving to see Ingot and Bullion are getting their lovin'. 99 kilos to go!!! The Black Turquoise Patterned Stainless ring on the website is pretty damn sick.

Sitting here eating my breakfast, a hard fried egg, Arkansas bacon, cream cheese, on a toasted cinnamon raisin bagle. McBagle!, even though McDonald's doesn't make such. And watching BigStackD melt down .308 or .223 brass shell casings. It just don't get any better than that ! ! !

Super dope. Been following for years, just now starting to melt stuff down. Thanks!

Great video, beautiful area to video your craft. Really like the Vintage Dragon Scale Bracelet as well as some other item.

This makes me want to never melt bass casings lol but I love watching you do it! What a task. Great job on the furnace restoration too.

I love that this video shows how to mantain a forge instead of throwing it out and buying a new one. These are great skills to use over and over in ones shop. Love that you are showing them for others to see. Another great video. I love the meaning behind the Cage Skull Ring in sterling silver how it stands for rebirth and building a new spirit.

Rule number one is taking care of your tools, and I often wondered what was needed to maintain the forge, but you answered that for me. Thank you! Love the vids and love the recycling. I really can't help but wonder what will happen when you reach your goal! **Edit** Love all your rings and bracelets, size 15 is hard to find lol, but love the fiery dragon viking bracelets. Hope you have a great weekend and hope to see the puppers in their new home soon

Love how you’re always recycling things for your melts, and love how you save even the dust for future melts! Keep up the great work!

This is my much needed zen time each week. Really digging the Thor’s hammer braided rope bracelet too. Thank you!

Amazing stuff you create by your self man. I like the melting ,alot!

Awesome video! I want to ship you some beer from the big KY lol I’d like to enter the giveaway as well and pick the green gem ring!

No worries at all buddy. I get alot of people from the states want to send me beer but it’s easier and a hell of a lot cheaper if they just donate a few dollars and when I’m at my local liquor store I can grab one or two of what the person wants to send. They’ll just need to check that it’s available at my local ‘Dan Murphys Bunbury’ store before they let me know the name or donate any money. And I’ll usually grab their email and give them a thumbs up picture holding the beer in the shed or with the boys so they know I didn’t waste it on silly fruits or salad😁👍🏻

Great video. Furnace turned out wonderful. The jewelry site is really nice. I liked the sterling fist of fate necklace & the 9-tailed fox ring. I had a friend that passed whose animal was the fox and I know she'd think it was pretty rad. Thanks for the great videos.

Wow. I havnt been watching much KZread lately, that treasure room is a huge upgrade from the old shelf! Great stuff as always big man

Honestly, this is the vid I've been waiting for. The remake of a furnace!

That forge cleaned up nicely! I think the Viking stuff looks pretty nice. Hopefully you got some new custom 3D printed pieces ready for sand casting soon.

great vid as always, it ain't friday without BigstackD and the boys! my fave ring is the Gothic Tribute Gem with the black stone. SO cool. Much love and good luck everyone!

Wow, I thought you would NEVER get around to re-lining that furnace, but I certainly didn't expect the full makeover job. Well done, it looks fantastic! Can't wait till it's re-virgin melting!

It's always fascinating to watch the furnace being rebuilt. Considering the internal Temps, it's hard to believe that small amount of insulation and paste is enough. Thanks for sharing!

We love watching what you will be melting each Friday!!! Enjoy your shows.

Wife and I love the video. Interesting to see how you take care and replace the lining. Love the rings. Also, my students love to watch you on the free time Fridays, in my computer lab.

Love what you do. I never miss a week. Can't wait to see the new melt space. For the giveaway I'm drooling on that volcanic rock stainless skull bracelet.

Coiled snake is absolutely gorgeous. Whole shop gives me shivers

Nothing better than to start off the new studio/ workshop with a good clean and refit!

Was awesome to see how the forge is lined, thanks for sharing! And I'm liking the Bear Claw Stainless Steel Viking Ring.

Привет! Первый раз вижу в ютубе восстановление или реставрацию того, что необходимо самому реставратору! Плавка получилась! Всем добра!

Also, I think brass melts are my favorite because of all the different shapes they start as. Copper is so often pipe or wire, but not much else. Where as brass is shells, fittings, facets, sprinklers, handles, knobs, etc🥰🥰

I really like the one below the big box of skulls to the left. It’s got 4 rings in it and a chain. Like the designs on em. Thanks for the amazing vids man. Keep it up.

I’ve been looking forward to the re-lining video! Love watching your weekly uploads every Friday! My favorite Ring is the VINTAGE VIKING RUNES STAINLESS STEEL RING.

Great video. I love restorations. Pretty much any of the Viking rings were awesome.

I had no idea re-lining a furnace was so fascinating! Thank you for that. And the jewellery on the gthic site is amazing. Choosing one would be tough but I think the Rudder Stainless Steel Leather Marine Bracelet would be perfect for me in Scarborough with its rich marine heritage....although it is a Viking town so....who knows!

Ahh, exactly the same RCBS mold i had for casting lead and zinc ingots. They worked good, pretty easy release without any parting dust.

Also love the St.Christopher,& St.Benedict rings😊

Watching the restoration on the furnace wants me to get into smelting so bad. Always love the great content! The Simple Cross Stainless Steel Decompression Spinner Ring in black is a simple but very nice-looking ring.

Great stuff as usual. Nice to see the behind the scenes upkeep on the forge. I like the flames stainless ring.

Awesome melt as always and it was very interesting to see how you resurface your furnaces

Tumbling your brass in a crushed walnut medium will clean it up a lot and may eliminate much of the slag. Folks like myself who reload cartridges like the ones you are melting do that to restore them to a new look. I use an old motorized ice cream maker that I tilt 45 degrees to keep the brass and medium from spilling out. The walnut medium seems to last forever.

That skeleton "painting" was rather kool looking!!!!!!! Liked how he was holding it up as well

The furnace came out awesome! It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos. I love all your socks too, it’s different lol. Thank you for the great video. Time to watch another one. ❤❤❤❤

Great informational video when a furnace restoration is needed. It’s impossible to pick any one favorite item from your store… but thanks for the knowledge either way. When I put my burner in and put the wool around it, I cut a strip aluminum foil and covered it just for added security, it’s held up well and hasn’t moved at all.
