Dad says “Cut!”, but lovely Lisa keeps filming for a few seconds more and we get to hear Sreetips let out a “WOO!” I think each one of us breathed a big sigh of relief right along with you! Great video!!
@@johnheckles8239- my Italian cousin had a jewelry shop in Rome. His shop was robbed a few times, and on at least one occasion, the thieves also cut and took the carpet from under his work table! Crazy
@@Ydnar1155 I meant to say in my original comment “never fails to impress” and “never disappoints”and my words got muddled together like i said brain fart didn’t realize till I saw your reply just now
I don't usually like to comment on youtube but you deserve some kudos for this... I know bars this size are somewhat unnecessary and uncomfortable, but for youtube this is a real crowd pleaser... Even those of us really interested in the chemistry and technique sometimes can't help but want to see big fat bar as a guilty pleasure, and man, you did it! You know the risks involved better than anyone but from the audience perspective, what a treat...
That was fantastic sir! Thank you so much. It was absolutely perfect. I’ll call this a redemption bar from the last big bar that had the acetylene scar. I can’t imagine the stress of handling over $45k of molten metal while trying to film. Thank you for venturing outside of your comfort zone for us. This was a spectacular series. I think I held my breath for about 3 minutes.
That's the definition of a fun family project. Great job, very entertaining. You can almost feel the weight of it through the screen, beautifully done.
Whoa. that's like $45,000 of gold. It's amazing that 2 years of all of my bills fits into such a tiny little chunk of metal. This stuff never fails to blow my mind.
This series of videos will be by far my most enjoyable and most memorable. All your videos are great but you really pushed the boat out here. Thankyou for sharing.
Three things never cease to amaze me: the quality of your contents, the dimension of your flasks, and the effectiveness of your counterweights (12:00) 😂
Congratulations on the complete perfect process. I can only imagine the heart-rate and nervous excitement leading up to the pour, and the sheer delight after. It is a thing of beauty
That bar was beautiful and worth so much more than the monetary value of 45.5K! What a wonderful series SREETIPS and fam! I feel privileged to be viewing such a feat! Bravo 👏 👏
Back in 1970 gold was “fixed” at $35 per ounce. So 23.5 ounces of gold back then was seven hundred eighty seven bucks. By contrast, a million bucks in the bank today will buy the same amount of goods and services that twenty grand did back then. That’s how much our currency has declined over the last fifty years.
THIS is why I have respect for you. This is why what you're doing makes sense. I was one who had to ask the age old profit question then came to understand that this IS money. Making a profit is not your goal and I respect that so much in this world. By the way sir I met Jason at ARA today, what a character!
That's probably why he had that glock there. I too would be packin heat if I had that much gold. Hell, my 9 Oz bag of casting grain gold is sitting next to my Sig P226.
😍 wow that is a beautiful bar, the pour lines are amazing. Jaw dropping! Great to see your daughter getting involved too! She looked so happy, and proud too. I hope to share these kinds of experiences with my sons when they are older (6, and 3).
Oh man, I just watched the last 2 episodes back to back, I was on edge watching you fill that crucible repeatedly. I'm not sure what is more satisfying, seeing that beautiful monster bar, or hearing your reaction when making it. Well done sit, I've been following you for quite a while now, and seeing you succeed like this is a beautiful thing! Thank you for all you do, I can't express how much I truly enjoy it!

If you notice, there’s a brick parked behind the graphite mold to hold it in place so it wouldn’t move as I rested the crucible on the edge of the mold during the pour. I had it sitting on the ring stand as a counter weight. I needed something kind of heavy to keep the gas bottle from toppling. So I used my lead dispenser to replace the brick that I removed. That’s it. Simple as a pimple.
Lisa did a great job 👊🏻 There is no way she wasn’t cooking while trying to keep the camera steady as she leaned over that oven and hot crucible 😂🔥 Professional grade
$45,886.38 Exactly to today's price of Gold...Mstr. Ch., that is an Absolute Beauty!! The gold bar looked ok too!! 😂❤...Tell your daughter I'm a great cook!!! Lol 😅...That was some series Ch. And you have to get yourself a large silicone funnel...That scooping was making me crazy! Well done! 👍 👏...Rangers Lead The Way...
Oh man, proud of you dude it's been a joy watching your channel grow to the point your able to do stuff like this. Well-deserved indeed! Who could not get excited over seeing something like this man its beautiful. Hope you, your friends, family and all the viewers have a good Christmas and new year. God bless yall.
Magnificent sreetips! That was an awsome pour! My favorite series so far! Specially liked that sneak peak of ur pew pew right on ur pour table close at hand!!!!!
I saw that too and thought it was prudent both to have one close by and to show it on camera. It was good to have it nearby in case someone got funny ideas while he was pouring it. It was good to show it in the video to deter anyone who might get a funny idea in the future.
Prospectors should remember this color. Look for it in the wild when out in the field. Unmistakable. Seen soils very much this color near rivers. Look for it on bedrock.
You rocked this one Sreetips. Loved the build up to the final pour. I understand the anxiety about getting it right. I did a little experiment and melted down 3.5 oz of ingots to make a round by melting it in a massive chefs potato from Maine and it came out awesome. Had to work the borax off the top a little but what a feeling after your done. Your bar came out beautifully. Be proud. God bless
Aww Sreetips, it's a Christmas Miracle bar, haha, brilliant series of videos and great to see your daughter getting in on the action, looked like she was buzzing. Awesome stuff man 👍
12:00 - I'm glad you take precautions, but I really expected something in silver, a la The Lone Ranger's six-shooter. Silver bullets, too. At this point you probably could pour your own!
That's good stuff Man keep doing what you do and thank you and all who served because stuff like this is what it is about much respect. and happy holidays to you and your family.
Totally amazing! My kid just turned 17 and it's my greatest joy in life to converse with her, have her assist me with any project at all, to answer her questions (though she's already smarter than me!). Thanks for sharing!
Mine a smart one too. In middle school I kept telling her that she was smarter than most others. Didn’t know if she was or not. But I think it helps build their confidence. She graduated sixth in her class of six hundred. Then went on to a BA in Music. Now she has a Masters in Nursing. Sorry for bragging, I can’t help it because I’m so proud of her!
Having followed Sreetips for about a year now (but seen many of your past videos) I know when you do these it is incredibly nerve wracking for you, but when you do them... OH BOY! You, Sir have pulled a blinder of a pour with this, thank you so much for this series it has by far been my favourite so far!
Fantastic job. Was interested to see how this one would go, as youtube had recommended some of your previous videos on large pours recently. Happy it went well and looking forward to what comes next.
I hope to be rolling like you one day... I'm scrapping cell phones & computers right now, just learning how it's done, but I want to be casting bars like that! And Lisa is even more lovely with a huge gold bar in her hands! Lol! So you make lovely women & lovely gold bars... kudos sir! 🖖🏿😎👍🏿
