Melting Silver - Making Hand Poured Silver Bars at Home In this video, I'll be melting some silver bullion (Generic Rounds) into some more of my RFT Channel Bars, using my new Devil Forge Furnace or Foundry! I am still an amateur when it comes to pouring and stamping as I only get a little practice every other week BUT I love trying my best and it's always a lot of fun.

Can you explain why when you pour the liquid silver into the mold it becomes sold right away while the silver in the crucible stays liquid the whole time you’re pouring?

a trick: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

@Luke Lennon definitely, I have been using Flixzone for months myself =)

You might want to try cleaning up the crucible and removing surface slag with carbon rod before poring, also heating the molds to red/yellow hot give the air a change to escape before the silver cools eliminating voids on the bottom of the bar, finally if you tap out the bars onto sheet rock no danger of scratches or dings so no need to polish. Hope that helps and keep up the good work.

is that why my bars always have little holes and cracks in the bottom? i heated up the mold but not till it turns red or yellow

@akuma3373

@OfficiallyRetired yes, the mold needs to be glowing red hot.

I'd take any one of those bars. Even the rejects. Heck, that just gives them character. Nice job.

I guess you'd have to get an injectable mold to really get them precise.

That one looked triple stamped on the top point! The even more elusive trippled die!!!

I'd rock one of those bars in the background to go w mr RFT round.

I think you need a vacuum forge to get them with mirrored surfaces like the pros use.

Interesting how quickly they solidify from liquid in the molds. Your technique is getting very smooth - well done! Would love to see the stamping process.

DARN!!! My jaw kinda dropped pre-melting, when I saw that a few of the generic rounds were Norfed rounds!

100 years from now, there will be hobbyists collecting only ingots and trinkets made by You-tube scrappers and melters, and the "RFT 2oz ingot #38 DDO" is going to be the holy grail of ingotology. We have witnessed the birth of a legend.

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for demystifying the process of smelting metal

I like when you do the DDO bars. Gives a great variety for people to find in your bars.

Thank you RFT! That was pretty cool stuff!! 🤘🤘🤘

This is new to me, I'm glad that I'm learning about it through your channel Rob, excellent video brother👍

Thats awesome! Love to see the stamping process one day. Great stuff!

So much fun to watch molten silver!! Have a GREAT Day!!!

Pour videos are my favourite from you

Love your channel, I really enjoy watching your poor videos with subtitles, very relaxing and soothing, thank you.

Always neat to see liquified silver pouring into the mould.

I love the DDO since you find so many DDO coins roll hunting! Thanks for sharing!

Very cool. Gotta love poured silver ingot.

DDO ! , love the video's you make. Keeping it real !

Nice job Rob. I myself am getting into pouring soon. It will allow me to be creative and produce art. Keep up the great work.

Good looking bars brother 👍👍 Thanks for sharing 👍👍

You da man! Thanks Rob for showing such a cool demonstration🤘 It's pretty BadAss!

Good video Rob love all your videos

It would be cool to see the stamping process too! Enjoyed the video

lol......love that DDO, just like the big dogs............. would like to see a pic of your tumbler as well . Thanks always great videos

That's cool 😎 love those rounds

Awesome video! I love the DDO bar!

Rob you are a coin collector and a craftsman! Excellent video!

I still have bar #006. Love it

I oh so want one!

Love the DDO.

So fun to watch!

WE FORGOT TO CHECK FOR NORFEDS!!! Love the bars though!!!

Great works Rob . Thanks ive Learned

MC-55 error - doubRobling Die Obverse. Those are awesome!

I love vids like this. I want to have a forge of my own and make gold and silver bars. I adore gold and silver.

To save a lil bit of time and less resmelting. I'd grab a minimum of 6 molds. So once your crucible crazy hot, you can do more pours/ ounces per smelt. Etc. Just sayin is all! ✌️

Coin roll hunting - "Nice! I found a DDO!" Stamping - "Darn it, I got a DDO!"

They look great! 🤙🏼

CASTING IS SO LOVELY TO SEE AND HOLD AS COMPARED TO MINTED

Wow awesome silver pours bud

Got to give this a try

Thank you for sharing this video I had a great time watching this video

Visually I have always preferred the look of silver over gold.

Super cool

It looks like such a fun hobby and you can do so many metals..im in im buying that set up

I will own one ..ONE DAY lol .. lovely pours

I'm about to try my first poures!

Great info.

I think I want one of them !!

Hi rob ,,great vid .. was wondering Do you use carbon in your molds to keep the silver from sticking,, I have to do it with my lead pours ,,jw ??

Good stuff bud

Always Awesome Rob! Not that I am on the winning side of things but maybe a Friday EOS GAW on one bar? Anyone would be thrilled to get one of those!!

Kool that's really NICE

rob you doing need tongs to drop the get the bars out the molds your gloves will protect you as long as they can withstand heat.

Would love to see the stamping process

Rob Melts Treasure.......Rob Makes Treasure.....better!

It actually cost more to cast those bars. Because you have to use energy to melt them with propane. Then you have to make sure you have the tools to stamp them and polish etc. etc. You are basically doing what a bullion maker already did

Nice bars! In would also like to make some silver bars. I have a devilforge, exact the same you have. But I think I will use an electril furnace/kiln for silver. I will also prepare a pouring setup with a burner hitting those moulds while pouring. Give them a small tap while solodifying will give them some nice ripples, just the way I love them! I will also need to invest in a tumbler to get them as smooth and shiny as possible. Hopefully one day when I build a new shed or buy a garage box I will start melting silver. Just subbed 😁👍👍👍

See if your bank can still provide coins. Mine in PA still has the lobby closed but will arrange for a pickup just outside their lobby if you call them a few days in advance.

If you puta merc dime in the bottoms of the mold before you poured, would it melt it or embed it?

You might want a torch on a stand over your bar molds to make a prettier finish and keep the oxides from forming on the top while pouring.👍

Cool!!

Probably using a pair of channel locks would give you better control of flipping your molds. Probably be faster too

Very nice sir

very nice job Rob :) could you tell me how long dose your fernace to melt the silver please

Is it just me or is there something primal about melting and pouring metals

Nice I like it

What is it that u use to stamp them with who makes them I’m looking for one thank u rob

Rob is a pour boy from a pour family.

Sliver cools off really fast huh

The voids on the bottom of the bars is from the gases built up in the metal from the propane..electrical furnaces dont give this issue when pouring silver. But I think it gives the bars more character..I find it easier to pour from a smaller crucible but that's just me.

What type of material do you use to tumble? Ive used ceramic pellets and they didnt come out real good. Thanks.

DDO is collectible 😎😉

Looking good...are they going to be for sale on your website?

Loved watching them .are u going to sell them ? Also did u have skull melts before ?

What did you use for stamping dies?

Did you melt a NORFED?, great pours Rob, Awesome work :)

If I want to melt several silver coins, who do I should for?
