Welcome back to all you beautiful people , How are you all today? Great I hope. Just a simple can meltdown today where I pour my biggest ingot to date As well as a pile of other bars to help fill the shelves. So sit back relax take a load off and enjoy the video. Have a happy safe weekend and I'll see you all hopefully on next week's video 👋🏻😃

Ingot’s eye is looking a whole lot better, and he seems to be happier. The big bar is pretty impressive and your boot shot was amazing. I wonder if there is a copper skeleton in our future. Keep up the amazing work and never stop living your dreams.

Brotha… I spent 10 years in bed, another couple learning to eat solid foods and walk properly. I lost over 100 lbs. Had pancreatitis 5 times, and a double neck fusion with myelopathy this year, 8+ months after the injury while lifting my 225 lb. dad after he fell. I take care of my 85 year old Dad with Parkinson’s and Congestive Heart Failure, and my 80 year old Mom (though she’s a tank, God bless her!). I’m getting there, brotha! Never giving up! I can’t wait to pursue the type of existence you live, it’s so beautiful! Clear skies, no Chem trails, surrounded by clean air and nature, doing what you love… God bless you! Thank you so much for sharing these 7 years, I want to watch every video, and will over time, haha! I only found you while recuperating from my neck surgery while when wearing a brace for 9 weeks straight 24/7. When I’m back to 100%, for the first time in 25 years, I will live my dream, and doing what you do will be a part of it! I can’t wait to learn more and get my own furnace and crucibles, and learn this great art! You’re the best, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! 🙏😋❤️ PS: Great driving skills, and a boot kick master! 😋❤️🤙

I’m glad you’re enjoying the vids mate and I hope you’re liking these longer ones like a lot of other people. I’ll probably chuck a couple shorter Vids out over the next few weeks just to try to catch up on the property here as it’s so hard to keep on top of stuff at the moment. I still work full-time shiftwork but luckily I can do a lot of my editing on nightshift but even then I struggle finishing the vids each week. Well enough of my rambling mate I need to go into the shed and figure out what I’m melting for next week‘s video.

I'm loving the new Big Boy! Enjoying your content from Texas. In a world like today we need more wholesome entertainment like this.

Thanks for your videos. I literally just poured my 1st four ingots of aluminum in my backyard. Your videos gave me the confidence to give this a try. Thanks for the info!

Great alternative way to reduce volume of beverage cans is to make a shredder for the out of a lawn mower, just drill a hole in the deck of the mower big enough and weld a funnel of sorts on it, then start feeding those cans in. I usually do my weekly batch on Saturdays from 5AM to 11. Great fun. My neighbors are very animated probably just glad they have such an industrious man living next to them. I also build pulse jets as hobby.

What an incredible amount of editing, awesome videos you put out

Mighty impressed with that giant bar. To be honest I was worried that you wouldn't be able to fill it all the way before the metal started solidifying

It's fascinating to see the metal "come to life" during the melting process. Greetings from beautiful Greece, my friend. Thank you for the beautiful videos you make.

Never write to you. I follow your page a long time ago. Your passion is something man. Your video just amazing.

Man, this was one of your best pours. I enjoyed every minute of it. Nice shot with that boot, by the way. I guessed that big bar weighed about 12 kilos. I was off by a bit. Thanks for sharing. Keep pouring ...

An impressive melt and an amazing video. The can crushing montage was very pleasing

Now that's a big honkin' bar! I can only imagine the powerful fun you had with breaking down those cans. You're amazing! Side note: I don't think I've ever seen you cast this idea, but have you ever tried a spider web looking cast before? I just thought it'd be kind of neat to do.

Good evening from California! I love seeing you melt down the cans! Just reminds me of all the recyclables I sort at work

WOW the scale of your videos and projects after hitting 1 ton has been insane!

Greetings from Poland! ;-) Maybe you should consider using a hydraulic press for aluminium cans. After initial squeezing of them, you could use a press to pack them inside a tube, which diameter would be similar to inner diameter of the crucibles. This way you avoid throwing single cans to the pot while melting and speed up the process ;-)

Love the videos! Enjoying them all the way from Los Angeles, USA

Awesome! Cheers for the super thanks mate you’re a champion. Have an Fantastic week and hope to speak with you soon👊🏻😁

I absolutely love the big bar!!! Been waiting forever for that. Can’t wait to see one in copper!

I've read that the alloy in cans is designed to be press formed and thus isn't the best for casting. Would be interesting to see can aluminum cast side by side with casting aluminum (broken aluminum car rims can be had fairly cheap) and, assuming there is much of a difference, if you could add something to the can aluminum to get it to cast just as well.

I still think that can crusher is one of the most impressive things on this challenge. How you completely made it by hand and hook it up to a car battery? Ingenious

Thanks for the stress relief. What a good idea to make aluminum bars from cans!

The sounds in this one hit a little different. I would love an endless loop of the pull tabs landing in their bin to soothe me to sleep.

Morning D, been a minute on a can melt, awesome as always, and good to see all is well for you.

I have my furnace running in the background….re-melting a bronze ingot to pour out some small drops to be finished as necklace charms. Edit-now we want a huge copper ingot by the way. Edit2-ok you already have it planned 😂 Edit3-no, you’re friggin awesome.

Great Job D ‼️Crazy how you turned all of that into those awesome looking barz . . #1 by far kido -Thanks for the video

I enjoyed this. I figured out that the scrap value of aluminum soda cans is higher than the nickel return, but my husband was not charmed. The scrap yard is further away than the can reception center! You have a great set-up, but it surely does eat up the hours.

OMG I was so close!!!! it was just over my guess of 7KG! I feel like a metal master at this point. When I saw the weight, my mind got blown by my guess!!! Anyways, what an excellent haul, incredible melt n pour, this video was a blast to watch!

Small tip! To save on gas, time and handwork put the crushed cans in a small oil barrel (made out of steel). Then put firewood around the barrel and let it burn. To increase efficiency you can have a brick wall around the fire or do it in a pit to keep the heat from escaping. When it gets to temperature the aluminum cans will melt and you can continuously feed it more cans and wood. Note that you can’t melt a large amount of cans at the same time cause the fridge barrel walls will give in and molten aluminum will spill out. What I would do is to take scoops out of it and make crude bars or pellets that will be remelted later.

I think you may need to rig up some kind of crane system to get the lid on the big furnace on and off safely. Little gantry system or rotator to move it out of the way. You're losing a lot of heat having the system open.

Great melt, nice to see the new forge! You could really use an industrial shredder for melts like this… make aluminum mulch out of those cans first

The prep is to preheat them so there's no moisture. There's no point in washing them out as the only thing in there would be water and various organic compounds. Given the fact that you are using a redox forge, it all leaves as co2. Tldr, make sure can is dry, crush and off you go.
