3 years now and I still love this post. Takes me back to days of learning and failing miserably. Now things are pretty much straight forward but the unexpected still rules my friend. Seems like I am still in school and loving it my FRIEND. I got one set of sticks poured yesterday and will work away on the files and sanding today. Tomorrow I am off to the city to get my new Forever Leg and will get the 2nd pair poured on Thursday this week. It takes about 4 to 5 hours to finish each stick and although I didn't film the pours I am going to film the finishing with tips on files, saws and sanding your pieces. Great to revisit this and will holler soon on how things are coming along old friend. Take care eh.
Beautiful work brother! Stunning bars!
Thanks for the feedback appreciate it!
a great in depth look at the process of how all the magic happens : ) beautiful bars my friend. looking forword to part 2
Thanks as always my friend!
100 gram bars are my favorite by far. Just the right size for stacking and barter. These I would definitely be hanging on to.I sure know how hard it is to hit a weight. Even pre-weighing and using cup and torch it can be real hit and miss. I suppose that's why I like sand pours. It is always a wonder. Well done today my friend, well done !
OUTSTANDING and thank you 🙏🏻 I’m totally new to the silver world and this is the first pour I’ve seen. Again OUTSTANDING. Cheers from the USA! “BAMSMACK!!!”
Thanks buddy, appreciate the kind words!
Thanks for the video! Interesting to watch.... Now I've got to find your stamping video.
Love your work BYB. Keep it coming.
thanks!
Looking good my friend and always like watching you pour them 👍
Beautiful work as always, young man. You know already that you can put me down for one! Just let me know when and how much, buddy. Enjoy your Sunday - we're enjoying a comfortable 17 degrees and it's pouring rain; never thought I'd e happy about those kinda conditions but it's wonderful!!! hahaha
Roger wilco! Thanks for the kind words - I filmed this a few days ago and it was 30 degrees - then, today there are these very strange things falling from the sky that I have not seen in so long! Just my luck when I make a number of heat jokes!
Love it when these older pour vids show up in the feed!!
U made that look so easy lol. I just started melting silver and cant get past the lumpy mess stage. But i think its not hot enough. Your bars are magnificent
Thanks very much for the feedback, you will get there - the most common issue is very much that the silver is not hot enough. Keep trying!
Map gas burns hotter
They came out very nice. I hope to get that good !
very cool pours my friend!
Thanks my friend!
Great vid...I see where everyone else gets their ideas.
nicely done my friend, you certainly have come a long way! cheers brother!
High praise from the Zeke Zen Master! Thanks brother!
It is not without merit my friend, you really have come a long way and make wonderfully crafted bars. I love thinking about your beginnings and how far you have come! You really have made a proper go of it! Keep it up my friend!
Great video! I’m learning! Can’t wait to use my new furnace!
in europe also a heatwave lasting already some 2 months, cool looks like mercury for a moment, cute little bars
It is actually a little cooler today - I filmed this a few days ago when it was stonkingly hot - it is now....whats the word...you know when water falls from the sky...I have forgotten the word as it has not done it in SO LONG!
Nice tutorial. Thanks
Very nice bars!!
Beautiful silver brother thanks for sharing. Good luck and happy hunting.
Love these little 100g bars
Thanks for the feedback!
Wow 😮 I love the way you do it, keep the good work I love to Watch your videos..👍👍👍
Thanks very much for your feedback, I appreciate hearing it!
THAnk you very much. Looking forward to working with silver.
Good luck!
Great video! I'm more interested in the reverse though melting down silver bars to make my own coins or rings. Any chance of doing a video on that using moulds or sand casting? Also, it would be great if you could tell me what equipment you'd recommend from blow torches, moulds, crucibles, gloves, tongs, etc... and where they can be purchased from as I'd like to have a go myself and have never done it before. Cheers!
Great video!! You have skills my friend!!!
Question: what kind of furnace do you recommend for a beginner? I have a lot of generic silver rounds and would love to learn how to make my own bars and custom fractional rounds. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
Love your videos!
Sorry for finding you so late, but glad I did... awesome job sir.
Thanks, glad you found my channel!
Great vid!! Im so interested in trying this!!!
Like the middle of winter up here in Liverpool. I had my central heating on last night 😎
This was filmed a few days ago - who knew 10 weeks of blistering heat would end today! When I was pouring it was 30 degrees anyway.
100gm casted silver bar the best shape to see and hold. nice..
Come up to Scotland Backyard it’s sitting at 12 oc and it’s raining. I am off to Mull for a food festival and they are forecasting 40 mile per hour winds. Anyway love your videos. Don’t panic and Keep on Pouring. What’s a Troy oz between friends.
At what temp is it ready to pour?
Great video btw. All I get is a bubbled-up mess.
I never have bought any silver bars but these look very nice.
Thanks for the feedback Mark!
Well, I got 10 American Eagle 1 oz. coins at spot price as an intro offer elsewhere. Fantastic way to start, but I'd wait a few months for the lowest prices.
Do you still get the graphite pollution if you measure 100g of shot and melt it INSIDE the mould directly with a torch? Would that be a way to ensure you always get the correct weight?
What type of furnace do you use to melt?
Beautiful!!
On my 5th vid, keepem coming, u make the best videos!
Best of the videos I've found so far, but I wish you would go into the melting of the silver more, not just the pouring.
Sadly not much more to show than the furnace melting it - it's not really something you can see!
Hello! Love your channel. Just curious how you would melt down 925 silver and separate it so that your bars are 999 pure? Any tips? I’m so new at this
Believe You need to purify it with nitric acid to make silver nitrate and filter paper the 8% of junk. There's a few long videos heee
Silver is so beautiful
was the stamping video done after this?
Do you "shave" off any excess - to get closer to 100g?
Did you use borax or some kind of flux material ? Or is that not necessarily used when pouring shot?
Dude hell yea
Any links to where to buy cheap silver or scrap silver I'm also in the UK
Love those 100 grammars
They are very cool indeed!
Great video
Thanks!
IDEA.....Why don't you put your pouring surface on a digital scale and stop pouring when you hit 100 grams.
What do you do with the dirty silver left over? How do you re purify it to be able to use it again?
You can just melt it again - the graphite floats so a bunch of dirty stuff just floats and the rest is re-usable
Where from do you get your silver shots from?
if you make them yourself, what do you use as raw silver material?
I buy the shot from www.europeanmint.com
@@BackyardBullion i chewckd them nothing but coins there,,,,, qwwhere can i get silvet shots
just subbed and thumbs - up,,, be strong, be safe, and be blessed
where did you get the silver from to make the bars?
I bought it from The European Mint
where can we buy the stamps
Cool video and exquisite work! I really need to add a BYB bar to my collection.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it!
I wanna make one
Could you pour onto a scale? If you zero'd out the mold (and a protective base) you could get real close to your desired weight. Now I have never poured molten metal, but I would think if you poured just shy, you could then drop a few molten drips at the end? Just wondering...
Anyway, the bars look very cool!
It is something I considered but it is not practical. Think of the silver as a very thick liquid and stopping when you see a number on a scale is quite hard to do. Especially as the whole pour into the mold takes about 1.5 seconds! It is not as easy as it looks!
Hi can u tell us where u buy the silver shots from thx love the vid
I get mine from www.europeanmint.com but they often dont have any in stock, they usually only take orders of 20kg or more at a time.
Is better buy the silver shots or buy made silver bars look like in video(no company mark)?
How do I get the bars
You told there is an extra video about making the stamp in the bars. I can’t find it. Can you please post a link?? Nice video’s by the way 😉
czcams.com/video/rFF6g-YPM4o/video.html
@@BackyardBullion that’s fast. Thank you very much!!
No worries!
may i ask as to what is the camera that you use for your videos?
I use a Sony AX33 www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=sony+ax+33&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Asony+ax+33
thank you for the reply
Hi, im interested in starting to pour myself to. What materials do you recommend for molds and could it be possible to make my own molds?
You can use graphite, or Petrobond sand basically, some people pour into wooden molds too!
Could it also be possible to cnc make steel ( hardend) molds to ?
I thought you were weighting the silver pre-melt to exactly 100g to make sure it was the right weight. I didn't thought you were eyeballing the weight.
Yep - eyeballing it all the way. Makes for a much better pour.
Why can you weight exactly 100g of shots and melt it ? Will it give a 100g bar or is there any loss in the process ?
It would give 100g but you also get lots of graphite pollution on the bar. You can clean that off with vinegar and sand paper but it distorts the ripples and makes it look not so nice. I aim for really high quality bars each time and to do this I "stop short" of the dregs of the silver and end up with a nicer looking bar.
Iam melting 925 but some times it comes out dirty why is that ? Thanks
Because of the copper content, it oxidises with the air when it cools. 999 silver is pure it doesn't oxidise when it cools
7:31 is what you came here for. And you won't be disappointed
Where can I acquire some silver shot? I’m in the US.
The lone ranger
What's the best places to buy all the supplies for making silver bars. Is silver shot the only pure silver to melt and or cheapest
Well, depends where you are based in the world. I believe that silver shot is taxed in the USA - furnaces also vary, if you are in the UK I can supply them
Ciao ma questo metallo giusto e casting silver giusto
THUMBS UP ? OH YEA !
Beautiful bars I've got to get my hands on some of those!!. And the silver form wouldn't let me sign up for some reason I don't get it..
Thanks for the feedback - not sure why the forum would not let you sign up - you can try emailing chris@thesilverforum.com and he might be able to help.
Backyard Bullion nevermind I got on I guess I had to shorten my name now I'm just Puget on there.. But I'm there and thats all that matters.. Thank you!!
Excellent stuff! Thanks!
Heythere 👍
Oh sorry I lost connection and it wont load :(
couldn’t you use the scale tared out with the mold atop it so you can pour closer to 100 grams?
You could try that for sure - but pouring silver is not a slow trickle, it comes out very fast and would be just as hard to judge.
I wish I could show you the results I'm getting.
It's a learned skill for sure, keep trying!
Haha he said tidy. Lol
Did I?
Hi there. That's pretty cool. Subscribed. Thanks
Thanks my friend!
100.6 for the first bar and probably if not right at 100 then a little less
Fantastic looking bars! See you soon
Thanks for the feedback my friend!
6:40 your welcome
Do you Need borax zo get such a nice silver bar?
Nope, with 999+ silver it is so pure it is not needed
NICE HAND POURED BARS
Thanks!
bar #104 bar#2 98.7
Top Shelf. You are a Silver-pouring CZcams MASTER!
I thought you need to add Borax, no?
why dont you just weigh 100g of grains and then melt it and pour it in? would it not all go into the mold?
Often not, some small bits might be in the crucible still. Also, you get all the dirt and mess of the graphite coming out and it makes the bars look all ugly and dirty rather than pretty and ripples!
101 grams bar two 97.3 grams
2 Steps Magee
Nice effect..
Thanks!
What about the borax?
You don't really need borax with 999+ silver, it is just so pure that the impurities don't manifest
It make the silver stick to the mold .
105 96
Bar 1 - 108 grams bar 2 - 102 grams
You could weigh 100 grams and then melt it and then you would be spot on everytime
I talked about why I dont do that in the video 😉
Why not weight the shot first?
Because if we do an exact amount we cannot get the nice rippled finish as there is a bunch of graphite pollution on the silver.
@@BackyardBullion ahh nice Ive just been bought an electric smelter for xmas poured a couple of 100 gram bars this morning, do you use the blowtorch to get the ripple effect ie: by it not cooling down as quick? Cheers for replying
Yep, the blowtorch helps keep it molten for a few seconds longer and gets the ripples, good luck with your own pouring and stay safe!
@@BackyardBullion thank you, great video !
105, 101
Unpopular opinion: I love chunky poured bars, but I really don't like ripples
Beautiful bars a lot of people pouring some ugly ones
Why not just weigh the shot before you melt it
The water from the quench may be adding weight? Perhaps let them fully dry out. Can't imagine the water adds much.. but it might.
Yes there would be a small addition of water from residue on the bar, but it is miniscule. We are creating approximately 100g bars, not exactly 100g bars!
They are still great looking bars. I like how much attention you pay to the details of the pour. There are a lot of very sloppy bars out there that have no artistic value.
Thanks for that feedback, I really want every bar to look as good as possible, that is why I do what I do and how I do it. You will see all 150 of these bars this weekend, they are nearly done!
Bar 1 108 bar 2 98
Good guesses!
too much wood around your casting area
Well, I would rather that than burn my work top! What is the problem with the wood being there, not going to set on fire and if it did I have an extinguisher and fire blanket on standby
That is "Silver Town" hallmark. Why?
