So I’ve had quite a few comments of people starting on their melting journey and they’ve asked how many cans they need to make a decent sized ingot so today that’s what I show. I make it a little bit bigger than usual, but it came out spectacular as you can see 👌🏻. Also there was a heap of Copper skull flats for the manly safe. So sit back enjoy and I hope to see all your beautiful people next week👋🏻😆

I am still at the “propane torch/stainless bowl/low melting temp metals” stage, but maybe I will work up to a real furnace one day! 😅

I know cans aren't the most efficient way, but limited for options in the UK. I'm still at the hording materials phase and have already got several boxes full of random day to day aluminium cast offs such as cans, food trays/casings etc... I imagine when the time comes all of it will make a couple of very small bars 🤣 the a mates dad kindly donated his knackered old gear box casing from his old van so I should get plenty out of that. Also another mate got a new kitchen put it so had a nice bag of copper wire from his old kitchen that he sent my way. Every little helps 😁

question: is it cost effective to throw the cans in like that or melt them in your "open furnace" (the one with frequently forgotten holes in) and remelt the "drips" in one go - just curious

144 regular clean cans with pickling salt will produce 1.5 kgs of poured metal and 300 grams of slagg. I lose only 20 percent by weight and the slagg I pull off has basically no metal in it. CLEAN AND CRUSHED. Really crushed I flatten mine with a 35lb dumbbell I drop it on them a few times while holding it so there is very little contact for flame oxidation. Less to remove. Also cook it long don't dip too deep when skimming. Skim stir it up to the side skin it. I do all my skimming in the furnace so the metal doesnt cool. If it cools it won't fall out of the slagg and back into the liquid in the pot. That's how I lose only 20 percent. Most videos people tend to lose 30 - 40 percent. Good luck everyone. Thanls for another awesome video "D" !!!!!

Big fan for multiple years at this point Bigstackd! Thank you for the countless hours of entertainment and education you have provided myself and others. Can’t wait to see more. Much love and respect from the 313!! 😎

I don't know why, but I am just fascinated by watching the cans melt in the crucible

It's finally warm enough ( 46f - 8c ) here in the upper Midwest US to get out on the front porch and watch my favorite channel with a hot cup of coffee. Some nice copper skulls and a big and shiny aluminum bar! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thanks again Grumpy👊🏻😁. When I get some time I’m gonna jump on over and check out the piece you’re making for me but haven’t watched any KZread lately. Just been bloody flat out as you know with the property, dogs wife and life. And now I have to go spend half a day cleaning out a shed for my mum and pulling up all her pavers because the tree roots are making it a trip hazard🤦🏻‍♂️! So there’s my day gone! Still haven’t opened the hot stuff yet but it’s gonna happen soon. I know it👊🏻😁 that mango one I know I’m gonna destroy👌🏻

OG PC game MONKEY ISLAND on the TV!!!!!!! You sir, are a man of culture.

That aluminum bar is beautiful! Nothing looks as nice as high polished aluminum. What always gets me is how nice copper comes out though. It's so grungy and ick after poring, but just a wire wheel and it too is a beautiful thing! I hope the wildlife around your place appreciate how good they got it! I adore how Boullion bounds out of the house, like "good morning world, wassup"? And Ingot strolls out like "who the hell turned on the sun"? And of course his morning rug belly rubs! Adorable monkeys! Have a fantastic weekend, and thanx for another great vid!

Past couple of videos you've really started capturing the red of molten Aluminium. Sweet.

yes! u r on time, thank god its friday...

Since you have to run your car anyway, it might be more efficient and consume less fuel if you you laid out the cans in two long lines perhaps each between 2x4's and then just drove over them with your car. 2 lines of cans laid broadside to your front wheels would give you 100 cans in about 10.8 feet, 200 in 21.6 feet, 300 in 32.4 feet, 1000 in 108.3 feet. You seem to have a lot of space available. Dunno if it is worth it to try but didn't know if you had ever considered it. Just a thought. I dunno if it would be risky to the tyres.

Yey he brought out the massive furnace again, i love that thing due to it be able to melt 20 kgs of metal.

🎶 *_Rub a Dub... Dub..._* 🎶 🤣 Gotta love it when someone has their priorities straight!

it's been a while since the last can melt ❤

Two in the morning on Friday in Alberta waiting for Big Stack D’s new video. You are often imitated but never duplicated 🤘🏼

I rlly like the video and the green flame is the best😂 but ey still its very cool 😃

You cleaning your trailer is about as likely as my husband cleaning up the basement. I applaud the enthusiasm but won't hold you to it 😂.

I do like how the copper skulls have an almost beyond ancient look about them.

Great video, I was up at 3am when your post popped up and seeing the pup yawning made me sleepy again, see ya next week. 😊

My Saturday morning show ,Pat Pat to the PUGS, thank you very much 🎉🎉🎉🎉

4:40 put soapy water in a spray bottle and spray down the fittings with it. If it’s leaking it’ll make bubbles.

Liked the reference to Beetle Juice

Cool to watch the labels on the cans melt! Love to watch the can melts.

I'm here watching out for those drop-bears! I'll keep my eyes peeled! Don't let your guard down. ;) I heard there's some in GTA5 that'll get ya if you get lost down the wrong alley in Vespucci Canals map.

When you do that in the dark and you can see just how red hot the furnace and crucible are. That is cool.

It's silly, but I love watching the cans pop as the residual moisture evaporates... What can I say? I'm easily entertained. Seriously, though, I do look forward to your videos every week. I'm not one to do any melting myself, but it's fun to watch. Sometimes the stuff you're breaking down is so random that I wonder where you get it all. I mean, HOW many weed wackers did your friend collect?! I also enjoy your sense of humor, which comes through pretty clearly even without speech. 🙂

I really like your workshop. Marginally controlled chaos, just like mine. Thanks for the video.

I love the can crusher!! Have a great weekend mate!!

I love that green flame.

Love the night shots.

I'm sitting here watching and your feeding the magys, then my cat comes running into the room and starts to watch with me. She loves the bird and thinks they are in my laptop because she won't stop trying to get in it! 😂😂🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ But l think it's the catnip she had with her dinner that could of help her out 😂😂

I have tried watching this video 4 times and I keep falling asleep. Love watching the videos. Been here a while. Since 2020.

BigGamerD! Awesome video as usual sir! Thank you again ❤

Great nighttime photography. Especially the shots of the blue/green flames.

I appreciate your dedication to the melt- that was fun to see you cleaning up from last week /and/ doing a new melt!

I cannot imagine the level of patience one must have to melt that many cans. Very nice indeed, D!

hello BigstackD Casting &it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks BigstackD Casting & Friends Randy

Thanks, my friend

Thanks!

I've been thinking about a kind of crucible for processing a lot of cans quickly. Like something shallow with a spout so it just pours right into a mold as it melts.

Don’t worry about the planes mate, it’s the ATO guys in gilly suits in the bush that are the real problem 😁🤣

1,471👍's up bigstackD Casting thank you for sharing 🤗

Damn, brother! That's a lot of cans! Great video as always, and the boys are looking good too! I want to start melting stuff someday, but that will have to be when I move out of California. I'm too close to neighbors, and my house has no room to store a furnace. Keep it up!

Best. Ice drop. Ever.

hahaha...had to pull out the shrimp too

i love these videos, keep it up big man, top g of the Saturday morning from the uk

I thought for sure we would get the bulk melter and dripped full crucibles. (I think it would be faster)

Great video , love the look of cast bars , can’t wait to have some of my copper,brass and aluminium made into cast bars😍

Sensacional parabéns. Aproveitamento de latas de aluminum.

Amazing job mate. I have about 6 boxes full of compacted cans. I'm saving up to get all the metal casting equipment to reduce all those compacted cans. Greetings and big hug from Argentina 🇦🇷 👋🏻💪🏻

Great content as normal keep them coming

51:02 That's pretty good melting; 25% of the weight of aluminum cans is the exterior paint and interior lining.

I hope I wasn't the only one to freak out when that eyeball popped up when the copper was poured out! OOOOOOOOOH!
