I have been melting and pouring Copper and Aluminum bars for decades now. When I reach 100lbs of either ones I take them to the scrapers and cash them in, then use the money to buy Silver ... :)

@Jude_1-3-Project 2 месяца назад

Does the scrap yard not question whether your copper aluminum bars are 100%?

@JimEarns Год назад

Soak the skulls in a 5% dilute sulfuric or hydrochloric acid solution with distilled water and bring to a boil for 10 mins on a hot plate, will remove most of the gunk on your pours. Nice job! 👍🏻.

SWEET! Thanks for the tip! I'm sure I have a TON to learn still. :)

@M4A2Master Год назад

Sulfuric acid into water has a huge exothermic reaction that causes the water to get very hot or even boil over, I use 34% hydrochloric acid or straight sulfuric acid under a fume hood or outside with a fan pulling the fumes away. Safety First.

I was coming here to say the exact same thing. You can buy sulfuric acid at home depot as drain cleaner. Just check the ingredients.

For me it is AWESOME to see another person starting to melt. My son and I melt mostly non precious metals from cleaning up around the streets, but we both are looking forward to starting silver melts as well. There are a brazillion little tricks and things you learn melting and pouring. I would suggest a fire brick over a cinder block. Concrete holds water in the pores, fire bricks are a little more expensive but 100% worth it. Always inspect your crucible EVERY use, the last thing you want is to start pouring and it cracks. The orange lines will start showing and will show you depth of the crack.

@SilverSeeker Год назад

So if I see any signs of cracking scrap it I assume? Thanks for watching my friend!

I've never purchased an electric furnace, only because I'm worried how long it will last. I have a few Devil Forge furnaces. I use mine quite often. Really like those! You need to try one of those. My favorite alloy to melt is 95% copper mixed with 2.5% Brass and 2.5% Aluminum. Makes very beautiful Gold toned Bars.

Hey man, nice first work! I don't like being "that guy" in the comments but as someone who's worked in the manufacturing/warehousing trades for many years including on forge presses dealing with fire and hot metals, PLEASE PLEASE get a fire extinguisher if you don't have one already! One wrong bump or accidental kick to that table leg could be all it takes for a bad accident.

As a safety professional I can’t help but think you ought to also get a face shield and an FR shirt for this. Frankly FR pants and some work boots would be wise too. As a caveat, I don’t work with molten metals and never have (though I’d love to do my own pours…).

@cyclonicsilver2773 Год назад

Good Luck with the furnace that you used. I had mine for a month or so and 2 pours into it the heating element went 3 times. The company refunded me and now I went to a tabletop furnace which seems to work fine so far. The heating element went in this one also but PMC Supplies is good with taking care of their products. As for the brown Smutz on the back that happens when the crucible gets low on silver and it is also part of the graphite crucible wearing. It happens a lot and comes off rather easily. The pours having the pitting in the head is caused by a couple different reasons, either the mold has cooled down to much between pours or the mold needs to be cleaned before it’s used. Once again it’s mostly from wear and tear as they are not made to last forever. Nice Job on pouring though and if you have any questions feel free to ask me and I can help out and if not I can get you to someone who can.

@SilverSeeker Год назад

Will do thank you!!!

@RoganBits Год назад

Is it possible to use some sort of sand mold? Or would it not work well for designs?

@chaicharin Год назад

Nice job Seeker and that melt looks like it did a nice job for you. It would be interesting to see what you end up designing for your own molds considering you are pretty good at tech. I would hire an artist to make something for me and then make the mold with a 3d printer. U can get silver shot from Monument metals for $1.99 over spot unless you have a local place to get your silver scrap.

@johnyaniuk1254 Год назад

Pre-heating the mould with a propane torch to make it hot before the pour might prevent/minimize imperfections on the silver surface after the pour and metal cool off. The hot metal to a cold surface temperature extreme is probably what is causing it. After a few pours the imperfections go away as the mould is hot from the previous pour .... just a thought.

@SilverSeeker Год назад

I did preheat it, even showed myself doing it in the vid. :)

@coloradokid8321 Год назад

@Silver Seeker - Hi Seeker, a couple suggestions on safety… 1. you should have a big tub of cold water near you in case you get burned. The faster you dunk your skin into cold water, the quicker and faster the burn will stop! 2. Get an ABC fire extinguisher. 3. when dealing with molten metal, the last thing you want is a wobbly table! Get a solid table that doesn’t move. 4. I saw you kept crossing over the just poured molten form when putting the crucible back (and your elbow looked like it was getting very close to the molten metal). I would say just moving your furnace to the right hand side of the table, so that you’re not crossing over the molten metal when putting the crucible back. 5. also, I’ve seen other video pours, and they keep the map gas constantly on the form that’s being filled. So I would suggest getting something to hold your map gas tank above your mold so you continually keep the mold hot. Check out Backyard Bullion’s RU-vid channel. His earlier videos he did a lot of pours. 6. I would also suggest getting a pair of leather bib overhauls to protect you. And lastly… What’s with the skulls? Are you a Grateful Deadhead? :-) good luck with your pouring!

@SilverSeeker Год назад

Heya! 1) Good Idea 2) I already do, trust me. I think I mentioned it in the video but alot of footage was cut because of issues recording with phone 3) The table BARELY moves, it's not like it's loose or anything. That said, I can attach it to the garage door with a bracket. 4) It wasn't as close as the camera made it look, I couldn't even feel the heat, but I'll keep a better eye out next time, thank you. 5) Yea, I'm looking into that. The mold stayed scalding hot though (I'm stupid and grabbed it with the gloves and they burned immediately upon just touching it and I could feel the heat through the gloves. It was hot lol 6) Yea, someone else suggested that and I agree, I'm looking into it. Lastly) Dunno, I like Silver Skulls! But I ordered another mold and I plan on trying some 3d Sand Casting using 3d Printed molds. Thank you SOOOOOO much for the comments my friend and the suggestions! --Seeker

@@SilverSeeker - You’re so welcome Seeker! I hope I didn’t sound like a “Karen”! Lol. I just would hate to see you get injured with something so new as pouring molten metal. I’ve given this a lot of thought in the past, because I was planning on building my own smelter. Also, I’ve seen that you can get silver shot for a pretty decent price (rather than melting down existing rounds). They might melt a little faster too being that they’re so small.

@davidk7324 Год назад

Thanks, Seeker. Fun stuff. I have no experience with this but from a safety standpoint I'd pay attention to your footwear (thick leather boots?) and maybe leather chaps for your legs/thighs if you plan to use the table going forward. I'd add a face shield to wear over the "safety" glasses. Open ventilation is wise. Especially if there's any chance of lead contamination of future metals. A rated mask/respirator should be considered. Although a table is convenient to work from, most videos I've seen have the setup on the ground. There's probably a reason for this. To get an idea of where the molten silver (et al) might end up during a "slip-up," get a plastic cup of similar size to your crucible, fill with 4-5 oz of cold water and drop it on its side from about 6-12" over your cinder block. Might be a sobering exercise. Yeah, I'm a retired medical type who has seen more moderate and serious burns than I'd like to admit. A mishap with molten metals would be 100 times worse. Oh, I'm sure you had one nearby, but an ABC fire extinguisher should be within reach.

@SilverSeeker Год назад

Thanks for the advice my friend, I will definitely look into that. Yes of course, I have an ABC Fire Extinguisher nearby :) I've seen alot do it on a bench myself, but I'll look into just doing it on the ground. My thought was that if there was an accident it would be easier to quickly get away if I was already standing. I may put less metal in the crucible going forward per pour until I have more experience and more safety equipment! Thanks for the advice!!!
