Leaving the steel can in your furnace is probably what caused the cracks. If you speak with the folks who make the refractory mix they tell you not to add steel to the building of furnaces. Steel expands at different temps so it would cause the cracks. Love your vids. Thx!

+Cody'sLab I was about to comment the same thing about metal expansion on the inside cracking refractory. I believe on the outside a metal casing is okay. When I made a small furnace I used a "Sakrete 8 in diameter concrete form tube" for the interior shape - seven dollars at the hardware store. After the concrete was firmly set I could twist and pull it out with a pliers. Also a very good idea like Brandon Johnson mentioned before the first high firing to warm up to 200-300 F for hours to let absolutely all of the steam work its way out of the refractory.

@@spacious3544 he put some extra points on the defensive skill tree... seriously though, people with a bit more experience tend to be immune to most dangerous processes. It's very irresponsible to not use protection most of the time, but your hands get used to it. The furnace had just been turned on and the fire was being blown out, the heat was less intense, so it would take a second or two to get your hand warm enough to get a superficial burn.

By using refractory cement it does not have the air pockets necessary to make the furnace structurally sound. One way to fix this is by adding some carbon or extra plaster of Paris into the cement. This will prevent cracks and keep the furnace longer lasting then just using refractory cement

MAKE GOLD FROM COMMON HOUSEHOLD RAGS IN THIS VIDEO! Cody'sAlchemicalLab

great job cody on explaining everything, thanks for your time

These videos are fascinating and very educational I love learning about these sorts of things

Next furnace you make use Styrofoam or wood work well for making the burn chamber as you can make it into any shape you want. Foam you can just melt out with ether acetone or gas. Wood needs to be burned out if its a shape you cant pull directly out. Best setup is a wood core just smaller then the size of the opening you want and foam built up on it to make the shape so you can dissolve the foam and then pull the wood.

cody u r a very inspirational guy in everything u do. Keep up the awesome work and god bless u

Excellent video! The mechanism of using lead to extract gold from burnt rags/sponges, amazing!

So cool to see everything happening from up close and in HD, god damn! Keep up the great work!

one of the most informative channels on KZread. great work Cody and hope you the best!

Dude I absolutely LOVE the videos I found you yesterday by accident, so far I have been doing nothing but binge watching lol, its even interrupted my own filming, editing and uploading haha. You have given me so many new ideas to try out, new projects to create and over all, just purely entertained me, keep up the good work Cody, its amazing.

I love it how Cody always has a solution to slove a potential problem

He is one of those guys who could survive in the middle of nowhere just by creating survival kits from scratch and building whatever that may keep him alive with all his creativity.

very interesting! I dig the very real and practical manner in which you do this. gonna keep watching.

Liking the persistence in the videos! Keep it up!

That's so cool and you recovered a lot more gold out of those rags then I expected.

That is incredible. Thanks for sharing.

I like Cody's approach to the Science, no fuss no if n buts and safty is least but get the result is definite.

I really enjoy your videos Cody. Keep up the good work and good luck to you in the new year. I'm sure you'll continue to gain many more subscribers.

Like the videos...I like that ring you made for your Lady too...looking forwards to seeing what you decide to share with us next...

Well done Cody

Cody's got gold fever! I think the metal can thing is a clue: try some wire mesh in your next furnace so it doesn't crack or if it does it should at least stay usable. "Take the lead out" ... ah, the history of words as related to mining gold. Golden poetry.

How absolutely fascinating.

Your forge setup is freaking awesome

Get some Kevlar gloves. They can withstand very high temps. I've put a blowtorch to my hand and didn't feel anything.

Thank you i have been waiting for this video cody keep up your science!!!

why don't you try to melt the gold and lead alloy at 1750 celcius so that the lead vapourizes gold boils at 2970c so it will be safe

One thing to keep in mind when making a furnace is the name of what you are using to line it, which is refractory coating; it is and indication that it should be lining the walls of your furnace chamber, so that the heat can be reflected by the coating.. with that being said, your furnace would have been much more efficient if you: A- have the steel on the outside and the refractory coating inside. B- with such a large furnace, the amount of time for the setting of the coating should be ~a week in a dry atmosphere, to avoid cracking C- with such a hot flame coming in very rapidly from the beginning, a preheat with, say, a butane torch maybe, would also help fight against cracks. overall, the video was still pretty great! I hope you see this!

Hey Cody, thanks for making great videos; I've been watching most of your experiments! Just want to throw in the mom/dad or whatever "I'm a cautious adult doing my adulting" comment towel and say: Word of caution about pouring the way I saw you do it twice in this clip. All it takes for that molten metal to jump onto you is a little moisture from somewhere- I trust you're wearing protection but I've done my share of pouring as well with aluminum, copper, gold, silver etc. and I got a third degree burn in my shoe because I poured the exact same way you did. Ever since I did that my heart pounds every time I pour- and I've taken the time to devise a metal grasp that pours away from exploding my direction. A simple pair of garbage picking tongs wrapped up in multiple layers of metal duct tape can be a way safer way to pour. Cheers bud! Thanks again for the great information and excessive chemistry knowledge!

ur an awesome guy cody!

That's bad bro that's a nice ring like your videos there interesting I always mess around with stuff like you so I like to watch these videos I look forward to seeing more videos from you thumbs up

Can't wait for the total amount of gold refining and profit potential, your new medical laboratory tech., fan. Tony

I love your videos man, you've got that self sufficient mentality with fun and intelligent content. Wish I'd found your channel earlier!

Suggestion for you, Because I have built furnaces fueled by propane, diesel hardwood.and it just wasnt hot enough ..... You are close............... Try disconnecting your oil, then build a wood fire inside, turn on a low airblast,then put some coal in there to be ignited by the wood. Wait till it gets going good, load it with coal, and turn the airblast up.. You can get approaching 5 thousand degrees with coal, especially with a lid... The refractory cement I use is rated at 3600 degrees.... If you run it too hot the refractory cement will burn and break down...................................... Good luck, love your videos.I learn a lot from your stuff Thanks .. Joe , from Idaho.....

this video is pretty good 10/10 ign

very cool :) interested in seeing the refinement process!

Man, I've had lots of issues with refractory cracking on me when I was prototyping my forge. I used satanite over kaowool though. What ended up working was letting it air dry for 1-7 days and then bringing the heat up slowly and incrementally with frequent cool downs - I think I spent 5 hours on the first firings. Now that the moisture is driven out it soaks up and holds heat really well - not what I wanted in a forge but I got it.

Can you explain more about what you caught on camera for the first time, when it "blinked"

Cody's Lab seal of approval. I did it!

Loving the new camera!

Cody, a few things about that furnace you built. 1) You shouldn't use a hot burnout at that high a temperature, the water evaporating is what cracked it. If you just hold a fairly low temperature for a while, the water will evaporate out fully then you can go full-throttle. 2) A plastic center like a Folger's coffee can is better because you can tear it out with pliers before the burnout. 3) A slightly conical taper will increase the burn temperature in the furnace. 4) You need to mix the cement more finely and cast it, rather than somewhat roughly then molding it by hand.

yeah these video's are the reason i'm subscribed to you :D

when our furnaces are rebuilt with new refractory cement, the first time heat is applied is very slow and controlled, heat up super slow over the course of a day, increasing temperature very slowing to remove all the moisture and prevent cracking.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who puts silicone on their steel toe boots when the tire wears out lol
