Would love to see how you made the tusk or rock in the background. They look amazing.

In case that it is not suggested yet. I recommend to add a shaft to the coin so that it can be attached to the soldering stick. That makes the process more robust, easier to handle, and it will improve the heat transfer.

With the shaft you suggest, you could also heat several coins together on a hotplate, allowing you to stamp several pieces quickly rather than waiting for a single coin to heat up after stamping each one.

He wants it to be a thing anyone can do.. not everyone has a soldering iron.

@@dr.nug7103 Not a big deal, if they are knowledgeable enough to build or buy, and operate precious plastics machines making products out of recycled plastic then they can certainly figure out how to buy and operate a soldering iron. It only cost like $40.00 for high wattage iron. Any one of those precious plastics machines will cost into the $1000 and higher, $40.00 more is nothing in comparison. He even used a soldering iron what else do you want, that is why he said he likes to use the solder iron, it is cheap way to heat it that anyone can do and have access to. They sell them everywhere. lol I wouldn't recommend using a torch to the people because it is an open flame, that is why he suggested the solder iron i suspect. But the first thing the common man would grab in this instance is the torch. You can heat it in 3 seconds.

Using/ pressing warm glass makes it very smooth too ;)

I've collected many used plastic containers intending to make something out of them. This video is a great inspiration to get started!

All new to me - another new world revealed by KZread. Extremely interesting and some fantastic products from recycled material. Thanks!

I didnt know there where so many types of plastic and the particular characteristics of them. Great info.

I am so impressed by this! Thank you so much for posting - I hope to try this myself.

This is some of the best video making I have seen. Straight to the point no nonsense. Thank you, you have a new sub.

Really love those rocks. Nice work on your techniques.♡ Thanks for sharing.

Really cool info

Awesome dude. Thanks for all your efforts! Pura Vida!

You must be the Superhero of plastic recycling, everything is super😉

Thank you again Dave. I really enjoy watching you going through all your processes and the way you explain them to us. I was thinking about the whole idea of winning this battle you have with the plastic manufacturers and the consumers especially those who don’t have access to your videos. The point is that a manufacturer is probably producing more plastic in one batch than you and your associates can possibly reuse in a year. This really disturbs and disappoints me on behalf of my grandchildren and great grandchildren. Regards.

I find that a handplane works really well for edges

thanks a lot you really helped me in every video you make

Cool,great job!

That's beautiful, brethren. I'm glad I saw it.

Nice work. Inspired me to do it at my workshop. Thanks

Thanks for giving us so useful information n tricks about to finish plastic products

I do the same technique with the razor blade on gun stock refinishing it works on the wood really well

Awesome projects....I really love plastic products

They. Are. So. Pretty.

You can also flame polish the surfaces of he softer materials to get a nice shine. Takes a little practice but it works

I like the marking coins. If you add a little shaft to it you can handle it better, or even assemble it on the soldering iron for easier handling

I love this channel.

dave you are an inspirational person and rapidly becoming a legend ., I'm an Artist mainly sculpture and love the rocks that you are created will you be so kind to show us how you build them., keep up your wonderful work., cheers from New Zealand.

I would love to have a go at making a piece. I used to work in a factory that made car parts, shower head parts and numerous things from plastic but nothing you would really want to take home. I seen a coaster made of the recycled plastic that would work nicely as tiles on the wall or floor. I just think it is cool that you could make anything.

Thank you for sharing!

Me encanta..que bueno es tu trabajo.

those are so beautiful they even look expensive

Hi Dave, thanks for your info: one very basic question about the "homemade moulds" / which metal are you using for making them?

Great guys! Thanks.

now this is art

I have always wanted to make life size lego blocks for building real houses. This would be perfect.

Super Video.Danke!

It is nice method for finish the plastic and nice method for use.

You could also acetone vapour bath things made from ABS as it gives a very smooth surface

Love your work

you are a genius

Вы делаете очень большое дело! Благодарю!

ABS also reacts to acetone, I have used this method to smooth out ABS 3d prints/projects. A warning if you use acetone on ABS make sure you have a safe surface or hanger system on a non exposed surface.

Hey I just started learning machine construction for plastic extrusion last year. Im still pretty young and don't know much but I think the precious plastic stuff is really cool. :D

I might suggest that your thermal stamping be done by silver soldering each coin onto an inexpensive soldering iron and now you have an easy to use handheld tool for each stamping you require. The silver solder has a much higher melting point but would make it a lot safer, faster and easier to stamp your products.

Great ingenuity

"Welcome to a new preshplastic video!" XD

cool explicacion

good work my dude

I used to be in plastic recycling. This guy has done well in a lot of respects. However he would really benefit from apply certain techniques from injection molding.

Good job .

Great!! Thanks a lot!!

I guess you could say with those coins you're really gonna CHANGE the plastic community!! Change!! Get it?!? GET IT!!?!?!

Quero fazer esse projeto aqui no Rio de janeiro !!!! Muito bom tenho várias idéias com essas máquinas!!!!!!

Superb video

can you show some products made from used plastic water/soda/juice bottles. Thx

Great Projects! The rock in the background looks interesting. My first thought was that it looks something like "Tiberium" :-) Why not welding the coins on a tip and mount it in the iron. So it will get up to temperature much quicker and the handling will be nicer too.

You can make a soldering irron tip on the underside of the coin to make it fit a soldering iron to make it easier to handle

wow, how long did that "rock" take to make? I'd love a set of them for garden decorations :D lol

Excelente video, muy bueno

Mineral oil is great as mold release, i use car mineral oil just because it's what I have in hand

Gooood man!

Your video is good idea, I love your Idea

Incredible

To add your product, add removable dye cast lettering & it could imprint into the side of the product.

How is that vase in the background made!? it looks amazing! is it molded in 'freehand' or is it molded over something else?

Hello, I'm French and I'm in love into your way of recycling plastic! I'm thinking you can gain some time if you put your coin stamp on a iron solder?

THANK YOU

Beautiful

Nice work do you make lineal plastic?

Olá!!! Maravilhada com os projetos apresntado por vocês, transformando resíduos em excelentes produtos resistentes 👏🏿👏🏿parabéns a todos os envolvidos...

Eles são incríveis. Comecei a reciclar plástico recentemente por conta deles.

Perfect to make a floor similar to a marmol, with a litle layer of epoxy, shiny and fancy .

do you have a video of making that very large awesome sculpture in the background?

Go Dave..! If you had a CNC Mill you could make molds very fast, thus quicker to market. Keep thinking up good everyday ideas that everyone uses...Plastic can be remade many times. 3D Printing Filament is another...you build things with a 3D printer also. Bravo for your efforts. If I lived closer, I'd come work for you. ;-)

What production methods would you suggest for creating thin plastic sheets for vacuum forming applications? Cheers!

I'm curious, would freezing the softer plastic make it any stiffer and easier to get smoother using the techniques you used for the harder plastics?

Did you mixed any substance while melting the pastic

I love you. Nice video, thank you. Peace

Hi Dave, I'd like to see an overview of the plastic recycling mechanism.And if it is possible to dissolve plastic I'd like to know in what solution. Thank you.

Dave you need to do something about your site! I went to add a pin, joined / loged in and went somewhere all together different to the map to pin.

Goed bezig!

To save time you could make it so the stamps are properly attached to the soldering iron and you just press the object on top of it

On the flexible plastics you can use a heat gun to get it smooth and shiny

"it's very labor intensive but this is what we do with recycled plastic." I think this is one of the major issues we got solve to bring the cost down. Although I don't have a answer for the issue now, I disagree with "this is what we do with recycled products. We need more innovation to bring the cost down.

What if you want to recycle one of the made objects like the yellow bowl you showed. Can the shredder you show elsewhere shred that thickness?

As I've suggested add a line of flat ground markers to your line. You have an endless line of product.

How do you figure out and then sort the specific type of plastic from your collected waste, PP, PE, ABS or Polystyreen?

Heel Heel geod ........... Ik vind het prachtig .......... ga maar door

Terima kasih infonya brother, sangat berguna semoga diberi kesehatan & terus memberi inspirasi 🤓

Any videos on how to make glitter or get a metallic/mirror like finish

This is like pressing coloured vinyl, its so fucking fantastic

🙌🙌🙌 NIIIIICE 🙌🙌🙌

Its time needed, how I can start plasticrecycling with or without you in rural India. Thanks

you may have already considered this, but can the marking "coins" be made into soldering iron tips to allow direct stamping

Could you make/ seal those bowls so they can be food grade?

Love the 'coins' for marking the plastic, but couldn't find them in the bazaar. What category are they in? If you can include a link here it would be great!

i have a question, i am working on a design for an outside sculpture and i wonder if it is possible to use recycled plastic like hdpe on a large scale for a custom sculpture? it would probably have to be done in seperate molds, but i would love to hear your opinion!

Can we make a board (at 9mm minimum tightness) from plastic? In these case any tipes of plastic

Hi, how did you make the Tusk???

Hi Dave!! I'm looking to set up an operation in my city. I would love to get in touch with you to learn more about how to set this up. I look forward to hearing from you :)

Will the medallions handle being silver soldered/brazed to a screw so I can simply screw them in to my soldering iron

Can u teach how make plastic bricks for construction?
