- How to melt aluminum cans at home... by melting metal in a fire pit. This is aluminum, and I made a small yard token.
It's really cheap and easy to do with a foundry. I'm only going to do this a couple times for fun, so no need to pay for expensive gear for me.
Watch out, because with #BillandTed3 coming out, things are going to be even more stocked! - Zábava

Or fer 🦊 sake, here: I edited out the heavy breathing. czcams.com/video/HCEs0mT0opA/video.html
To much Keanue stoken you up?
@@billhennen978 I gotta be careful.
It’s ok lol I forge too and it gets realllly hot most of the time
How much time spent to melt one soda can. And in this video how many cans you used
Man I don't like to be like this but please be more careful, it looked like you used wet sand, you can cause an eruption like that, and wear molten aluminum on your face. A couple other things, wear fr clothing, including actual pants, and be careful with that steel can, they can warp fast and cause the bottom to pop and throw slag every where.
Sounds like a young, carefree Darth Vader. Who knew he was into recyling!
See people, if you're going to troll the breathing you need to be witty like this...
well darth vader was already burnt in the first place plus everybody gangster until the kid who melts metal shows up lmao
Best comment! Darth Vader 2022 woke asf! Thank you for the insight!
i have a complete set of forging things. yet, im here seeing some random guy doing things the hard way, yet using a small to none budget. goodjob
That’s the hard way? It’s a steel can in a fire dropping aluminum cans into the steel one, how’s it get easier?
I feel like when people say "Don't try this at home", they are talking to people like you and I, but we do it anyway. Thanks for sharing, awesome pour! Soo stoked for Keanu!
this is soo good, i tried this instead of using my crucible I bought for $300 and it work just as well, no waste of propane, just wood and wind on fire, saved soo much money not using propane
Why is he out of breath the whole video
Asthma?
Just bad microphone placement is all. I just got the mic hooked up, this was one of the first videos. Annoyed the piss outta me when the mic slips but I'm not exactly putting out pro grade stuff when I shoot diapers out of windows or slap dead muskrats with a paddle that hit my kayak... Stay safe fellow metal melters and have a great day!
@@thealicemonster9217 amature hour on the mic setup. 🤬
@@megoingfast lol Well at least it was not a bad medical condition.
wait my reply to this got deleted. I don't know why or wth I even said because its six months ago and its a hearted comment but still got deleted? again I posted it six months ago and so I don't even know what I said.
A leaf blower works really well stoking the flames 👍
Sweet. Now I can take a aluminum trinket home after camping instead of 3 black bags full of cans. Sweeeeeet
there you go. may as well. then after a summer, take em all to the scrap yard and go camping again
I burned a hole in my a can.
Edit: I burned a hole in another can.
Have you tried getting a new CPU fan? Firefox is causing it to overheat
Bro wtf@@joshuatremper5026
This is what we call a good CZcamsr, heck he even sings a wonderful song in the start of the video!
Best video ever! I didn't know you could melt aluminum so cheap!
I appreciate your silliness and for teaching how to melt aluminum at home. Thank you.
How to melt aluminum at home
Don't try this at home
So many people do, but CZcams needs a disclaimer per policy. Probably best to not try in a hotel lobby, though.
I've tried it dozens of times. Burnt many an aluminum can but never melted one. Even with bellows (leaf blower) to get it hot as possible.
NOT CLICK BAIT! IT IS REAL!
Ok, yes. I already commented. So? Excellent VIDEO!! TOP DRAWER, SIR!
1:18 you can use also an air pump
I built a charcoal foundry and I use a tiy can. The charcoal can also be used to purify slag and candy wrappers and most steel crucibles are one time use only so you are basically using not only the cheapest but the more efficient way too! Electric arc and coal could reach a high enough temperature to even melt steel.
i did not anticipate a single bit of this video when i clicked on it lmao
Dude thanks for prepping me for blacksmithing
Wait, a campfire really gets hot enough to melt aluminum?????
Huh. Neat ಠ_ಠ
I tried a wood fire with a hole in the ground as insulation and blew tons of air into this with a tunnel to make it work. It didn't. You are just lighting a wood fire without anything else and they just melt like nothing.
Time Factor - 2 hours to burn up those logs, to get half a can of ally.
His fire was better exposed to air currents, also relative humidity affects temps.
This man wore a motorcycle helmet to record this video
True story.
I just came across this video, I have been metal casting for some time now, this brings me back to when I started before I was on CZcams, thumbs up and subscribed 👍👊
That went into directions I didn't even know existed.
This is the guy you want as an grandpa
The gun shots in the back ground were a nice touch...
Your energy is great lmfao, great you tube potential 💀😂💀
That Keanu macaroni art is flawless
Homeboy sounds like he just ran a mile before filming
With a video this good, you deserve more subscribers.
And the more ya toot the better you feel, so let's have beans for every meal🤪☠
But do you love the patriots?
The most likely reason Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer is that the cancer realizes something was able to make Norris cry. Death by fright follows.
I'm actually sitting outside in front of a fire and just have to try it lol .I got it to melt now let's see if I can pour it
4:23 spot the Bob Ross
praise our LORD
♻️🧑🔬
thank you Jesus Christ for being our savior
You can tell it's America: The neighbour is letting rip with part of their firearm arsenal.
You can tell it's America: that's actually 2 neighborhood arsenal clubs in the area you hear all day every day.
WISH I WOULD HAVE CAME ACROSS YOUR VIDEO BEFORE I WENT AND BAUGHT A CRUICABLE LOL THIS WAS GREAT IDEA WHO KNEW IT COULD BE SO SIMPLE AND EASY THANKYOU
Chuck Norris also destroyed the periodic table with the element of surprise...
Bro you deserve a like and a sub, thanks for making life easier 🤘
I admit, lack of Keanu was my problem.
This was a sweet video bro.
Cool idea and method.
Thanks for sharing 👍🏽👍🏽
New supporter here from NZ
I remember when I had my first beer 🍺
This was just the video I been looking for 💪🏽excellent work and explanation. The Keanu reeves was a bonus 👌🏼 🙌
I feel that since this video was made, Keanu Career really did Blossom. It was synergy, I assume.
You are funny! That is why I kept watching
leaf blower for stoking does wonders
Nooo. It goes like this “beans beans good for the heart, the more ya eat the more ya fart, the more ya fart the better ya feel, that’s why you eat beans for every meal”😂😂 papaw use to say this all the time.
Other version: "beans beans musical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot, the more you toot, the better you feel, so eat beans with every meal" lol lol
Thank you for this video I'm going to try it friday!!!
This video helped me a lot and also made me laugh alot 😂 great video bro I didn't feel like buying a kiln I made my furnace from clay I harvest
This is so much more than I was expecting to get out of this video 🤧😩😂
You made me laugh and I insta subscribed XD I'm hoping to play around with aluminum someday and I appreciated this video! Thanks for the fun time!!
I came here to learn about melting my own aluminum but I found gold instead
I would probably just make ingots tbh... investing in a mold for it would also be good, as that would be better for making them... in my case. I don't have steady hands at all lol. Didn't think a campfire would get hot enough to do this. Seems I will be able to melt cans soon :D
Look my husband dose this all the time but instead of useing a tin can he uses a stainless steel cup for metalling aluminum and as for the fire place the can in the center of the burning log to get an even heat
Amazing presentation. Thank you 💕
Dude this was so cool, such knowledge
Quick question when your smelting aluminum what could you add or do to ensure .999 percent aluminum?🤔
Can I use beach sand instead of dirt?
I did this with tin
Im happy with the results
Greatest video on CZcams
Only chuck Norris tears can do that lmfao
loved the note "increase waste consumption". definitely consumed some soda waste in this video.
Fascinating! especially the Flamingo!
If Darth Vader made a video.
Next time make a square in ur sand as a mold it will come out better shaped I do this all the time
I'll give you a heads up dont use water to put out a metal fire or to cool metal down. Unless you're standing a good distance 👍
Him: Don’t try this at home. The title: How to melt aluminum cans at home
Most excellent video!
Interesting tips safety feature if you put baking soda all over the place it'll prevent the Sparks from catching other things just in case you do some forging
Good call. The unexpected things u learn in the comments. May help near my quench oil. It's just under the forge...🤦♂️
You could also use a blow dryer.
Thank you my friend ✌🏻👍🏻
Yeah, having many of both and knowing their melting temperatures I was wondering if it was possible to do that. Now I know... Thx.
Remember to breathe when exerting ones self don't hold your breath you'll pass out right in the fire and then the bucket and hose are useless if you are not conscious to use it.
Awesome Work..Sir..
This is really easy and good for me
Is the bean can long lasting or something
No no no! No wet anything! Never poor molten metal on wet anything! It will splatter and pop all over you, trust me i know
Great video 👍
How long does it take for the wood melt the aluminium in the can
Very Good!
Very awesome video. I loved the Keanu macaroni art bit
U son of a.............................................................................genius👌🏼
dude really titled the vid “ how to melt aluminum cans at home and said dont try this at home xD
Awesome brother
thank you so much
This is so cool

At home
Meanwhile 3:08:
Me and the cop that I'm sitting next to are discussing your video by the way
WOW THAT IS AWSOME😲
Weldon, please what did you add to the cans to dissolve it quickly
Thanks
Are you holding the go pro between your top lip and nose?
Thanks man
You've just gave a VIP idea
Thanks
Very entertaining and useful video. How is that aluminum so clean? Did you scoop out the dross before the pour?
Nope.
Filter it with a spoon or fork when pouring.
Ty got a antique peice of equipment and I should be able to cast a replacement missing part
This video is excellent
How easy would it be to sand something like that down and/or polish it
It's gonna be my 4th time rebuilding my forge, (still haven't melted a songle piece of aluminum) and you are over here sticking a can into a fire to melt other cans.
This video superceeds logic, yet my eyes tell me this inefficient, barebones method yields more material per fuel by an inordinate percentage.
U sound like me when I do any simple task . Breath heavy . I'm outta shape and smoker..
did you mix any chemical to melt that or just a heat only ?
How much time spent to melt one soda can and how many cans use on this video??
did you take the plastic off the inside of the cans before you melted them?
What are the canned food made out of?
