That silver cell process is truly fascinating

A new melt dish-what a treat. A joy to see! Thanks for your satisfying and zen silver melt.

Sreetips for the win.

Always fun to watch silver being poured. Good rule of thumb since gold is around twice the atomic weight of silver you can typically make twice as heavy of a bar with the same size mold. Inversely if you have a mold that you know you can make a 10oz gold bar in, then you should probably be able to make a 5oz silver bar in the same mold.

I love when someone narrates. I learn far more than just silence.

Very good tip on pre-treating a brand new melt dish. Well done, sir.

As many times as ive seen your videos, you'd think id know what youre doing by now.. but as far as i can tell, its magic!

Man, what a cool melt video! It's always amazing watching those silver crystals instantly start turning into liquid.

The Silver crystals by themselves before the melt are so beautiful. The silver pools in molten form are so pretty too.

Such beautiful silver bars. They're really lovely and the melt was fascinating. 👍

Thank you for these videos i made my first silver crucible ball today and your video coached me all the way through it keep bringing these jewels

I love watching u work on gold and silver stuff fantastic job

Great video Kev. Gold coming out of solution is amazing - but nothing beats the beauty of those pure Silver crystals. If we don't hear from you beforehand - appreciate all of your great content from 2022 and wish you and Mrs sreetips an enjoyable festive season and a wonderful (and productive) 2023. 👍👍

I was so fascinated just watching the whole process, thank you.

Great job on that melt and the stamping spot on

Thank you for explaining the reducing flame. I scratched my head many times about that

Thanks for another great video! I know this is an older video, but you might consider a rosebud torch head for your melting. That is what we used in class. I have a bachelors degree in advanced metalsmithing from SIU.

Wasn't expecting to see you until after the holidays. Thanks for the video. I jones for your videos, Senior Chief!!!

@5:05 I love how you teach people how to season the melt dish with Borax, easy does it, keep the temp high, love the new torch tip!

I always allow a 1% "loss" from crystal going to a bar. I think this could be the sulphide boiling off or perhaps there is moisture trapped within the crystal structure... Also small bars is the way as you only ever get a percentage of the perfect with no outgassing.

This guy had the best eye & hand control to stamp it perfectly. Extremely hard to do this. Often wondered if you loose at least 1 or 2% of silver or gold when melted then poured. Great vidio.

I can see all of the work that you put into pouring these bars, it makes sense about the price. It's nice to see someone that has the smarts to tell the reality about silver. It's obvious that you have put in a lot of work, which shows the under value of silver right now, like you said. Beautiful silver bars👍

Hadn't really thought about it before, but I guess that's true. The silver bars in the biggest mold will be half the weight of the gold. I suppose you could get bigger molds.

Awesome to see you again Sreetips. It has been far too long since I last paid you a visit. I sincerely have missed you old friend. I really enjoyed working with your 9999 crystals. I see we use the same borax and it is great to see someone other than me pouring bars old school. Torch and cup is sooooo much more enjoyable than plugging in an electric furnace eh. And a whole lot cheaper as well. I am still pouring and using a Mapp alternative called GCX. It is no longer available so once I get the last of this 100 lb bottle emptied I am going to introduce oxy/propane to my pouring bench. It is much hotter than the Mapp. I sure have enjoyed this visit with you old friend. I will try and make it far less time before finding you again my old friend.

Amazing so cool I have done home plating with Nickle and Zink but this is way beyond that.

This was the Science teacher I needed back in school.

Awesome pours there Sir Sreetips! I love pouring bars! So glad to see you using the brazing tip. As a welder of many many years, I like seeing the right equipment being used the way it is intended. Cutting torch is used for cutting. In which case it uses more gas and oxygen. The brazing tip is used to melt material, using less gas and oxygen. Hence, more cost effective. Did you like the performance of the brazing tip as opposed to the cutting tip? Also, I have found that instead of having the mapp heating directly above the cavity and the pour, I adjust the tip to where it is heating just the graphite mold. I don't get the hazing on the bar from the mapp hitting it directly. Bars turned out beautiful. Your stamping is impeccable! Thank you for all you do!

You could do with a die like you have for sreettips thats a die set holder that you make up the biggest portion of the info like you stamp that would speed up the part for the stamping of the bulk and you then add in the weight 999 Fine troy oz. so all you need to add a stamp for Gold and Silver.
