I'm not sure if this video is related to the comment I made 2 weeks ago about using pure silver instead of sterling, but in any case thank you for taking the time to educate us once again. First, this inquarted gold looked stunning. Pretiest shots on this channel i saw so far. I understand better why you prefer sterling even if it looked a bit less dirty after only one refining. Yes it's cleaner, but by using sterling you can do a double refining (gold + silver) and it's also easier to see when the nitric boils are over. The good thing is that you can recycle the silver indefintly if for some reason you run out of sterling. Crazy pretty ingot at the end as well. Also remember you left some crumble at the first filtration. That missing gram is probably there. Well done!

Excellent, thank you!

Might be your best bar to date. That was the smoothest I've ever seen you pour and I've watched you for years. Outstanding content, brother. God bless.

The look of the inquarted gold looks amazing.

Oh my, what an insanely beautiful bar! The gold froze with such a pleasing pattern and even the underside looked good. I wouldn't be able to part with this one, I'd be tempted to make it my pocket piece. I'm an advocate for cast bars, but if all poured bars looked like this, I might just change my mind. Congrats on a seriously beautiful pour!

as you was poring that molting gold into the mold i thought wow i think that was the best por i have seen you do it came perfect! i really enjoy watching you do this, and i really have learned a lot as well.

What a great thing to watch while settling down for the night, thanks sir. Outstanding!

Now that is just beautiful, seeing that gold bar at the end put a big smile on all of our faces. Thanks for all you do!

It never gets old seeing the gold in solution... awesome video as usual. Chemistry and precious metals, 2 of my favorite things

Fascinating. I really enjoy these videos.

You have outdone yourself Mr. 'tips! A joy to see as always. So zen.

Another great show. That bar is a beauty.

This video answered more questions than I even knew to ask. Thank you for being such a great teacher!

I been binging old Sreetips videos. A new one is a treat! 💪👍👍

Love all of your videos! I always thought it would be neat to see a stir plate/hotplate with a built in scale just to see the weight change throughout the process. So cool you added the silver cell crystals! Nice bar!

One of your best pours. What a fine looking bar Sreetips. Nice work.

Beautiful!!!

Great job fixing that problem 👍🏻

I've seen most of your videos. this is the best one showing all the steps in order without in depth analysis of all the whys and calculations. they are important but it's nice just to see an overview of the steps. nice.

I was watching your workshop tour from 2015 when this vid popped up. I can’t remember seeing an update, but it would be cool to see all the additions now.

That is a spectacular bar of gold mr Sreetips :) Great job and a pleasure to watch you do it... pure gold alchemy

Sreetips! Thank you. We appreciate your hard work! You have inspired me to try this for myself. The thought of having a hobby that pays for itself is very appealing. The chemistry part is easy, as well as the acquisition of scrap to refine, but I would love to see a complete soup to nuts series on waste treatment. I have a strict rule on the farm here where I live and run my heavy equipment repair business. We don't allow anything toxic to go down the drain or hit the ground out here where we also garden and raise chickens. My grandkids drink from our deep well and eat the food we produce and we are sticklers about waste management.

Review his video library. He’s done a waste treatment video. His waste streams are iron sludges and various salts (chloride, sulfate, nitrate). By keeping things like lead and mercury out of his process, the iron sludges can be sent to the dump and the salt solutions can go to the city sewer, especially at these low volumes. He generates a pure copper mud that is probably scrappable. To my mind, obtaining the raw materials is the only thing from keeping me from jumping into this on a hobby scale.

I was waiting for this episode with the silver crystal. I be wasn’t disappointed.

Fantastic video 😊

Hi Streetips another great video...

Excellent Work and information 👍 Thank You. God Bless 🙏

It looks like you could make some cool sculptures from a pile of partially melted silver crystals.

The inquarted gold was unusually beautiful at the bottom of the cooling pot

That 1st precipitation was really cool, how it roiled around the bottom of the solution.

Your bar pouring skills are superb. That is gorgeous! I'd have a hard time not keeping that one.....

Great job

Excellent bar!

always a great video!

Thank you so much for trying your silver cell output to inquart the gold. I asked you a few videos ago why you don't do this, and understanding it causes double work for that silver content, seems perhaps like it has a place. Very nice result!

I love your videos. Wish I was younger as I would have pursued this as a hobby.

Excellent video 📹

thanks for the efforts.

Well, it's a bit of a shame to waste nitric acid to put the same silver into solution twice and to have to clean it in the silver cell twice. If you don't have any junk silver cutlery to use for inquartation, I'd take it as my motivator to find some for cheap and increase the size of my silver stack in the process.

It's funny because the other day I was watching some other dude on KZread doing the same process (basically) and it seemed so sloppy. Lol. I was like "no, dude!" It's a testament to how clean and precise you work that I ( who literally know squat) was judging the crap out of his effort. Ha ha. By the way, that was the cleanest bar yet.

hard work well done

I'm glad to see you use the crystal, I've often wondered why now you say because of the color and I get that. However it looked to me that the incourtation process worked out better, judging from the color of the shot.

@sreetips

It made some very clean looking inquarted gold. That’s because there’s less copper. The main problem, as stated in the video, once it’s dissolved out with nitric, it must be cemented and run back through the silver cell. Using pure silver to inquart gold is like taking a step backwards.

@floydsallee2041

8 ай бұрын

@sreetips yes it is like taking a step backwards, and that's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is you don't have to buy any more sterling silver. And this might be dumb but you could use the silver shot to.

The most satisfying sound of the process occurs when the gold bar hits the bottom of the water pot.

Liked before I watched.

I’ve been meaning to suggest / comment a similar video request: Would you consider making pure 6K and pouring into bars or shot and selling on your store? That would be from pure silver crystal & pure gold, 3:1, which would avoid all the impurities, but yet give that iridescent looking 6K product? I just suggest because it would allow you to split up one Ozt of gold into like 4 pieces that you could sell, possibly increasing the amount of people who can buy a Sreetips unique creation, and maybe increasing your own profits? Anyways, great vid as usual, thanks!
