Where were the actual lamps themselves made. not all of them come from China, plus you still find decades old ones running in factories, where they can have as origin a whole host of countries. Those lamps look like GE, Phillips or Osram made units.

Spud. that bird's name is Spud :D

Walked in my mom's house, and I found her, my niece, and my great-niece watching one of your videos. I of course joined. 4 generations aged 2 to 68 all love your videos.

Australian magpies are one of my favorite birds. I love the sounds they make. That one in particular spent a good amount of time around dogs. You can hear it mimicking a dog bark a couple times. Love the content mate!

Dude I love that window sticker on your car 😆

Always love watching your copper go from gray to copper colored as it cools

Note about the glass panels: Don't put them in the recycling bin, not even the glass recycling bin if you have one. Window glass is a different grade from the glass used in bottles and jars, with a different melting temperature, and it contaminates the glass smelting process. Even wine glasses and drinking glasses can't go in the recycle bin for the same reason. The only glass you should recycle is beer/wine bottles and jars. Window glass, drinking glasses, and especially Pyrex glass, all contaminate the recycling process. Just throw them in the landfill bin! If you were really committed to reusing them, I'd suggest seeing if there's any artisans or glassblowers near you that might want them. Possibly a framer could cut squares out of them to use for picture frames? I'm not a glass expert, just a recycling expert.

I believe that those glass light covers are tempered glass, so they are what they are. They'll be tough to cut them without shattering into 6000 "Diamonds".

@walter2990 Ah yeah, good point, I forgot about tempering. Probably useless unless someone wants to make a circular window in their house or shed, then!

so few understand what can and can't be recycled

Bribing Maggies with food offerings is the best way to train them not to swoop you when it's "that time of year". Plus, they're bloody fascinating and inquisitive

Yeah they’re always trying to get a drink out of the drain so I’m gonna have to track down a nice big birdbath I reckon👌🏻😁

It's strange how million dollar productions do nothing, but a guy doing teardowns and melting is a highlight of my week. Thank you, sir. At 42:12 you ask for suggestions for the glass panels, how about some additions to the treasure hold. Could be used for pictures that fit, but maybe take designs you use regularly (Your BSD stamp, the skull and crossbones, etc.) and line them over the shelves.

I think Slag would be a good name for the bird As for the glass panels would your friend who plays with the iron be able to make round housing for them to make them into end tables or something for your shop?

I think it's a fitting name!

I think hand feeding the bird should become part of your weekly video!

Content Idea. I think you should consider a series where you create a life size, metal skeleton. Each week you cast and pour the next section of the skeleton. Spine one week, the hip bones the next. And when its done it would serve as a great guard for the Vault.

Your videos just keep getting better and better. The ice dogs were such a nice touch!

The glass you can turn into porch tables if they are thick enough. You could even double them up to make them strong if they are too thin for that. The Magpies nickname i would suggest is "Smelter", since he is nosy = smell so Smelter. He is also probably looking for goodies which means he is trying to extract food from you. Smelting is extracting metal from Ore but in bird form it is extracting food from human!

The gingerbread man was hilarious. As for the bird, "Maggie," "Spot," or "Bruce" all work.

That was sackboy

Starting off this Friday the same as always. Coffee sunrise and bigstackD. Let’s Go!

It's employee appreciation week at my job. I am going to appreciate the time watching you. Melt down stuff and appreciate the quality of your video.

That magpie is ALFRED! I mean, many stilish, very steward, much elegance. Wow.

I have to compliment you on the editing of the video. Especially on the disassembly phase, very satisfying but above all liberating!🤪

Спасибо вам,за то что у вас такое доброе СЕРДЕЧКО.Счастья вам и пусть на вашем пути встречаются только хорошие,и добрые люди,такие как вы сам!!!

One of my dogs has enjoyed watching your dogs every week, but today one of my cats was also enjoying herself.

I used a nibbler to cut sheet metal panels for quite a few years. It was easy and quick but probably not the best way to get the job done. What I remember the most about using that tool was constantly pulling smiley faces of metal from the bottom of my boots. They were sharp enough to eventually work their way thru the sole and cut the bottom of my feet. Name the bird Atticus

Love what you've done to the property. Beautiful yard. Love the pups

great video as always. a little tip maybe when i melt brass i use a bit of clear glass. it absorbs a large part of the slag that remains and the bar becomes much nicer

oh my gosh you made friends with your sky puppies!! that is amazing! you made my day so happy for you

the first magpie nickname that came to mind was 'Muggsy' because he's so good mugging for the camera. But he is also very cheeky and has a sizeable beak, so perhaps 'Cheeky Beaky'....🤷‍♂️

I’m sure it took a long time but I always love when you use the tamper to flatten stuff!

5:00 you just made a friend for life there buddy

A good nickname for that magpie came to my mind, Maggy lol

There were a pair of famous animated cartoon magpies named Heckle and Jeckle. since this fellow likes hanging around your deck, let's call him Deckle. He actually seems to be a nice little guy.

As always, great melts! I kind of like the copper cake bar! Very interesting patterns. Nickname for the bird - Al (short for alloy, since he has different colors like alloys have different metals)

Always a good plan to make friends with the local crows. Will save you grief in the long run.

pyrite the magpie! I have noticed a drop in ingots energy levels over the last ten weeks. I HOPE HE IS ALRIGHT brother. Because you see him everyday you probably have not noticed it. Another epic episode. Message to Mrs bigstackd you best watch your hubby he has all the birds eating out the palm of his hand. Brother take care see you Friday. Also if you get into gold recovery like I have you will find them large non corrosive glass circles will come in handy.

For the circular glass pieces, they would be perfect submarine windows. Make some yard art with them 🤣

I believe the bird should be named Slag.

The melting hotline is back 😍 Been waiting a whole week for a new video! Its so cool to see some new angles 💪🏽

Big copper cake, and two little brass turds. Love it.

Take those round glass circles & make a GIANT magnifying glass to burn stuff!!!

Good melt Big D! That Magpie, call it Maggie :) They are mimics, so if it hangs around long enough it will probably make a noise like your furnace. It wouldn't be a Bigstack video without Ingot rubbing his junk on the rug! LOL Have a good weekend buddy.

Yes of course it should be Maggie. You can't say it doesn't fit.

My immediate thought seeing the glass lenses was, " Those would make awesome portholes".

When u noticed that the bars on the door were made of copper, I then flashed back to when you tore out all the screens in the old house to melt, and I immediately thought “Back away from the door, do not think about it!”

Maggies are such amazing songsters. Wise to make friends with them so they won’t go for you in swooping season. I call the male of the little flock at my place “buddy”

Panda is an okay name for the bird.

1:30 sweet! I live that one 🙂

I love those boys of yours. They have a lot of character

That bird sounds like R2D2 from star wars.

как приятно побывать каждую пятницу в солнечной Австралии, когда у самого за окном снежная Россия

You really need to get an industrial shredder. Save your prep time and they're very satisfying to watch. Imagine the video possibilities.

It's got to be satisfying as hell to tear all that junk down then melt it, I've only ever melted down cans but it's still fun.

Simply amazing.

I love the new place but I love the garage man. The hidden food the 10mm socket lol

Those glass covers are great for making round coffee end tables. We had lost 2 because of our rug rats used the tables to balance themselves when they started walking. Cost over $35USD to replace each one.

This is a thought I had while watching the video at 2am, so if it's really dumb, ignore me. Before you record, make a bust of the terminator doing the thumbs up out of aluminum. Then while you're doing the melt, add him in as a reference to his thumbs up death!

For the birb, i would recommend the name Elster.

Nickname for the bird,”The Penguin!!”😂😂👍

Just love watching every Friday. Nosey Nate for the bird😂

I was surprised to learn that Australian Magpies are not corvids. They're extremely smart and have the ability to mimic, so I was certain they were

Something is so satisfying about seeing metal turn into liquid.

Those glass panels would make some good table tops. I’d be full of ideas if I could get some of them

Two things, first I so thought you might smash the lamp glass, phew you didn't. Great stuff and B, maybe "short stack" for the 'pie'. Its circular? Lastly, thats a sweet little burner plate thingy for your butties. And bonus lastly, perhaps paint the bulbs bright colours and hang them from your tree for Christmas? Sparkling.....

You might call the Magpie "Singer" since he makes all kinds of sounds. I was impressed by the way he came right up and took the treat from your hand.

"Chunk" after Chunk from the Goonies you always feed him chunks of meat and he's always back for more food.🤣🤣🤣

Your bird friend should be "Sir struts-a-lot!"

Here's a good name for that bird, "Nugget!" And for the glass plates from those lights, those would probably make good (small) table tops.

The Overseer seems like a good bird name

Nice end of 2023 and after the Newyear's Bell's stop ringing, you can always keep them going for 2024 with "Hell's Bell's" with AC/DC and Bon Scott. It's 44 years sens he left the earthly life...🥳 Happy New Year! BigstackedD.

These Melting Muppet videos are the highlight of my week! Cheers to the dedication and hard work, D! I look forward to *drops large heavy object on ice block* new videos every Friday! Speaking of, you should name that squawking magpie Muppet. 🤣

Those pups are good boys 🐶🐶

Bullion and Ingot are never uneventful. 😀

Awesome copper and aluminum and brass bar's thanks for sharing bigstackd

Magnum for the Magpie. For the glass, make small side tables or etch the puppies images into them. One each and one together. The 4th one, their paws

42:13 you could either make some fancy looking end stands using the glass as the tops, ir perhaps add porthole windows to either the workshop or shipping container.

"Chunk" from the Goonies bro

Love how you show our native birds black cockatoo magi magpie the wood swallows! I had a magpie for years when I was a kid 50 years ago now called magi she talked in her own way 🤣🍻keep up the magnificent content mate i wait for you every Friday 👍🇦🇺👍🍻cheers 🍻

6:22- Good catch!

Wow! That’s really clean aluminium! Noice!

Those lenses would make great coffee/end tables

oh boy I love this channel 😍😍

Ragnar is The name for The bird! Viking style😁

Loved your little puppet friend.

I love this guy's videos.

The magpie is dressed in such a fancy schmancy tux he must have some kind of royal blood or title...

You should name the Magpie SnakD because he's expecting them every day now. He even brought his friends along.

We need a puppet show every episode. 😄

Awesome haul this week.

that was a great shot of the aluminum freezing. 34:41

wow you feed the magpies by hand / super impressed

when that light tipped my whole body almost went crashing though my laptop to catch it... Nice save.

Definitely my favorite metals that he pours are copper and zinc.

A good nick-name for that awesome magpie would be R2-D2. Cuz that is who he sounds like!

Winter here in Oklahoma is just starting to seriously get started and your summer temps are seriously climbing along with the heat of your forge(s). Maybe you ought to consider building an all metal awning/carport. 10'x10' or bigger for plenty of open air shade out there were you're doing your melting.

The glass rounds, send them to a neighbor of yours like "pask makes" they would make a great piece for a scrap wood challenge. As for the bird, name him "Slag" he's always floating around on top.

Always a great watch! Thanks Dude.

You could probably make a couple neat little end tables with those glass panels.

Another Friday with best melting video.... congratulations my friend

Nice blowtorch hack for getting the plug prongs out When breaking down stuff like those ballasts, be sure to wear your PPE. Lots of epoxy and stuff on there that will make harmful dust.

24:47 EPIC T-shirt 🤣

Spats for the bird name, it coloring makes me think of the shoe coverings from the 20’s

I would nickname this Magpie "quick feet" 👌🏻

That copper bar is beautiful! 😍

G'day mate. Hope ya had a good week. Have another on me bro.
