Welcome! Make sure to subscribe to see a video on metal melting and metal scrapping every week! I use the FB1SB Devil Forge to melt non ferrous metals as copper, brass, aluminum and zinc to make ingots. I also started out sand casting and make different shapes of metal stuff.

Alweer zo'n mooi filmpje. Mooi om zo een indruk te krijgen van Zuid Korea. Het lijkt wel een vakantietrip. (Ik weet dat dit natuurlijk niet zo is) Om jaloers op te worden. Groetjes vanuit Denemarken ❤
Hi, interesting video, I would like to know how long does it take to cast bronze? Are you happy with the devil forge oven? because I would like to buy it too. Thank you
Thanks for sharing, it's good to remember/know.... I tell my wife/kids a lot of the times, "that is a first world problem", in they should be happy with it, it could be a lot worse!
Exactly my friend! We always complain whilst we have almost everything we need/want. Most important thing in the world is health and people who care about and love each other ✌🏻
Love your videos. Is it expensive to get a melting setup like this . As a plumber, i always bring my scrap to scrap yards . I'd love to be able to make some bars
Did you use borax or anything? Also do you know what your pour temp was? Im using graphite molds aa well but i keep getting these porous holes in the bottom side that touches the graphite. Happens whether or not I heat the mold first. Any ideas?
I did not use borax or anything else. I usually have the temperature well above 1100 degrees celsius. To avoid those holes you could start with a new graphite mold and spray it with boron nitrite spray. I have not yet used it but will in the future for a perfect smooth look. The boron nitrite will perfectly seal the graphite so no air can be trapped in the graphite. Good luck 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah it is a popular stop in Souda for the navy! Hope you enjoyed the video. Will bring out more video's as I am able to upload. Will visit the US too in some time 😄💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I am still tracking the melts, haven't melted a lot the last year. So far they hold up pretty well without any cracks visible after at least 10 melts of copper. What I did notice however, after the second or 3rd burn some material of the crucible glassified and remained at the walls of the inside of the crucible. It will not get into the metal, but for the sake of a nice pure molten copper shot for my video's that was somewhat annoying. The glassification makes the crucible much harder. I think they will outrun the cheaper crucibles. I will make a video once I know if they are the better or worse economical option in lifespan vs costs. Thanks for askingn😄🔥🔥🔥
Don't do ANYTHING YOU SAW in this video except the chickens and the gloves. At least the dried up Christmas trees can help spread any fires. Common sense required.
I work for an electrical company and every other month they send me to go sell all the scrap wire, mostly copper. And they pay about 2$ per lb. I’m beginning to think I need to buy all that scrap from the company instead of selling to the scrap yard. Melt it all down into nice little fancy bars, sell it online and make huge profits? I’ll usually leave the scrap yard with about 3-6k$ that could make a lot of copper bars lol
Great video. I would love to be able to learn more of these tips! I am just getting into this and am very happy to have found your channel. Sorry about your cat
Great to hear! Hope you will find enough material on my channel to get you started! New content will be released when I am back from my world trip 💪🏻🔥🔥🔥
That is the dross or slag. In short, some impurities float to the top when melting. So it's a good idea to take out these impurities to obtain purer metal. Some flux can be used to obtain more of the pure metal during the melt or the dross can be binned to be processed later for leftover metal.
