Melting metal, pouring ingots and casting projects.
Dumpster diving for electronic waste and scrap metal.
Scrapping out electric devices to find stuff to melt or repurpose.
Crafting all kinds of DIY projects.
More things I will be making content about in the near future:
Metal detecting to find items to keep, sell or melt.
Magnet fishing, another cool way to find all kinds of discarded items.
Steel forging and more.
It all started when I saw the Mini metal foundry by the King of Random (R.I.P. Grant Thompson), and Build my own version of it.
Recently I have purchased a 3D printer to do even more awesome projects.
I have no specific goal in mind for this channel other than to learn new stuff and have fun.
I don't really have an upload schedule, stuff will pop up when it's done.
ENJOY!!!

Homeworld 3 Collector's Edition Unboxing
The first Homeworld game that came out in 1999 was one of my favorite real time strategy games at the time. The story the music and the whole setting and atmosphere of the game will stay with me forever. I'm hoping the 3rd in the series will help me recapture at least a bit of the nostalgia.
This collector's Edition comes with some cool stuff, and even something I can use for my metal casting in the near future.

Unboxing World of Warcraft: The War Within 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition

I can't believe this game has been running for 20 years now. It has been a while since I last played though and I would really like to get back into it. This new expansion does look very interesting to me so I might be re-installing WoW soon. I'm also still looking for the Vanilla WoW and Burning Crusade Collector's Editions for EU. So if anyone has unused versions of those let me know. I have ...
How much metal can I get out of this 25KG Electric Motor. Casting copper, Brass and Aluminium bars.
zhlédnutí 341Před měsícem
When I was given this rather big electric motor I just had to film the proces of taking it apart and melting all the metals that I got out of it. This also gave me a good opportunity to use the new molds that Guido (All Handmade) has made for me.

Today I am melting all the Lead I found and was given to me over the last year. I am using my home made metal melting furnace based on the mini metal foundry by the king of random. It burns scrap wood and charcoal, using forced air and can even melt copper. I plan on making a propane furnace in the future.

Love the mood of Homeworld, but I sucks at RTS xD Thx for sharing
great vid thankd ffor the share on channel thanks lee
How much did it cost? Definitely looks like my sort of game, might have to bring it to my channel as a playthrough :P The cards were pretty cool, but I definitely am looking forward to seeing you cast the logo keyring!
Be quick because the remaster of the first game is now 90% reduced on steam, link in video description 😁👍
Aslo, I think this CE version cost me about 180 euros, I was in time for a pre-order this time 😋
@@ralphmourik Damn XD well I won't be paying for that version lol, my daughter will be born in 3 weeks I dont have money now until im 50 XD WOMEN ARE EXPENSIVE!!! LOL
Cool display! I like it vertical too.
Haha TerraFirmaCraft in real life
Indeed, I was initially inspired by minecraft but making ingots and alloys is a part of many fun games. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
How to achieve financial freedom?
great vid nice vid of wot you got thanks for the shre on channel thanks lee
For the Alliance ! Ironforge, here I come again !
That's really cool. I've never really learned much about wow. I had a friend who was really into it but never talked about it with us. It was like his other life.
some great art in that book
So when do we get a guided tour around the collectables of Ralph?
I'll have to come back after Irish. You understand.
Glad to see you post again Ralph and when did you livestream? I'm always missing out on chatting with you and any plans on getting more gaming swag?
Hey Eonaleth, it was a premiere, had to make it earlier than plannen so it started when Odin was still live for another 30min or so. And I have 2 collectors editions to unbox and film this week, so more good stuff comming soon 😁👍
Thank you for a great video with awesome content very enjoyable six stars brother
nice one Ralph!
The moulds are class, nothing worse than trying to get metal out of a shit mould I'd say. Decent furness too, ian may be a little jealous of your equipment 😂👍🇮🇪
I sure hope you had the door open and you were wearing a mask when you were melting and pouring that brass. that yellow smoke will kill you faster than cigarettes!
That was awesome and what a sexy brass lady. Sollers, I mean. The ballerina statue is okay, too.
why is it that bugs always seem to get into sealed boxes? what's the allure?
Maybe they feel safe in there 🕷🕸😂
@@ralphmourik Did you serve eviction papers before you invaded their home?
@@scrapman502 Nah, my German ancestry kind of got the better of me and I just broke down the door 🤣👍
That's all natural quenching
Nice getting brass impellers
I've watched the first few minutes three times already. Going to finish this sucker now.
If you ever need an English man with anger issues to come hammer some stuff look no further 😂 or a gardener to spruce what im assuming is your mothers garden up 😂 Nice work glad the video finally came out, after hearing you say how long it was taking to edit in my streams 😂 im glad you finally finished. Next job 😂 cast your own copper play button? 😂 Just an idea fora future video if you think you can manage it 😂
Well when I hit 10K I'll cast myself a Bronze one, for 100K CZcams will send me a Silver one, for 1M Gold, 10M Diamond and 100M a Ruby. I'd be very surprised if I even reach Silver 😆 Oh and someone once made me a plastic play button award for reaching 1K, I'll put a pic of it on your discord 😁👍
@@ralphmourik I'll have a little look now 😂 does that mean Ryan has to 3d print me one for 1k subs then 😂
Missed the Premier but watched it all the way through. Nice job on those ingots and great job on the moulds from Guido.
nice strip down Ralph, liked the way you used the workmate to strip the cable, nice shout out for Guido, very nice Ingots. Before got to the end or read the description I thought Sollers will want that Brass lady. 👍
Sorry Ralph, by the time I dries my hair I missed your premiere. But full watch coming on
😂 the moustache, I think you're talking about.
@@HHRecycling 😂
@@HHRecycling you ever see the gardening pic
@@ScrappingIrish I've not been blessed with that honour.
good show Ralph. nice molds
Watching live my friend 👍😊.
Another great video, Ralph. Really enjoyed that. Love your dog! What do you do with the ingots when they're finished? x
The ingots I stack up for later use in other casting projects. I have slowed down on collecting scrap because by now I have a good collection of metals, so more casting projects in the future 😁👍
@@ralphmourik So you melt them down again?
@@andiepasdedeux6576 yes, ingots are basically a method of storage for later use. And in most cases the second time it melts and pours better because there is way less dross/slag
@@ralphmourik I seeeee! Thanks for getting back to me. Scrap ya later! 🙂
Good video
😂
Hi Ralph
Now I know what is bronze exactly.... Thank you
Dude I take those down like the Indian natives would strip ANd use all of the parts of a Buffalo. You were slow. I can take out a TV in minutes, leave the plastic and poison lined glass, removing every bit of metal. Doing it like yo did, what a 1$ per hour! Get a job! Leave the scrap to the professionals.you really don't know what. 😊
This was years ago, and it was for a video, I scrap stuff way faster of camera. I mostly do this to collect metals for melting and casting. I am a hobbyist scrapper, don't do this for the money because I have a full time job. And I would hardly call most scrappers professionals lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
That slag. What about mixing it with charcoal and heating it in a covered V shaped crucible. On a reactivity table you'll see Carbon is more reactive than Zinc. The carbon should steal the oxygen atoms from the zinc oxide and become CO2 or Carbon Monoxide, leaving zinc. Afterwards the Zinc metal runs down to the bottom of the crucible.
This sounds interesting! I'll have a look into this, thanks for this info! 👍
Hi Ralph Renè hear just got myself a 3kg Furnace similar to yours and I am going to attempt to make myself some nordic gold thanks for the video
Great! Have fun but be careful offcourse, thanks for watching and commenting 👍
This Dude could melt lead with his piss.
Neat dumpster find you got there.
Very enjoyable video sir thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
Very good for someone learning to watch this, thanks! Do you not need to heat up the mold first? Ive seen others say you need to, but ,ooks like your results are great without. :)
The molds will heat up enough after the first pour, the good thing about pewter is that fails can be remolten and re poured very easily and very quickly. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
haven't you ever been caught talking to rubbish bins? 😆🙃
A few times indeed, sometimes I just say I was on a phonecall, others know I do YT, once at a random outside dumpster someone came up to me and asked what I was doing so I told him about my metal casting and he actually subscribed right there and went inside and came back out with a box of cables and plugs for me. 😁👍
Literally dumpster diving 🤣🤣 You have to pay for parking? I thought you said you lived upstairs. What is Chineseian? It's not copper
When I mentioned the parking fee I was at a friends appartement building in the city center, so there is paid parking. Chinesium is a term for cheap low quallity materials, in the scrapping community it has become the term for electric motors that have fake copper that is actually Aluminium with a colored coating on it to look like copper.
Ralph this was epic!! Amazing scores all over! Do you have charity shops over there? Great boiler scores and my goodness your work dumpster is incredible!! Loved the first brass lamp and the brass and copper display plates. Really enjoyed this 😄👌👍
Unfortunately the work dumpster was from when I still worked for Whirlpool so I don't have access to it anymore, some of this footage is old but still fun to watch.
@@ralphmourik oh yes, that was awesome! Shame you can't still get to that dumpster 😉
Love it, Ralph! Great video!
Hi Ralph, some nice little finds there right on your doorstep.👍 you should put a plastic tote box down in the bin room with a sign on it for e waste old electrical etc for recycling 🤷♂️
I have actually spoken to the people in charge of the trash room and other utilities about this, and they are ok with this idea so I might just do that soon 👍
@@ralphmourik good on ya chap. I think you may get some nice finds once the neighbours see it.👌
Video's been live for 8 minutes and already has 4 likes XD I wish I could get that :P
Some people had the link before it went public, so that might be why 😁👍
👍😃nice
Great video Ralph,I like that alot💯👍
I am impressed. 12 points go to the netherlands! I actually have nothing to do with such topics - except of some basic knowledge - but seeing something being created from the scratch, is simply awesome. Well done!
Thanks for watching Monkey 👍🐒
Ive used duckt tape to pull some things out of my molds once or twice
Borax makes slag come to the top…may want to preheat your metal before adding..steam explosions can be very dangerous
