HOW TO MIRROR FINISH A BAR
I start with an 80 grit flap disc on my angle grinder then I use my drill with 50 mm round sanding discs . I start with 150 grit then go through the following Grits 240-400-800 Then once I get to the following Grits I use a small squirt of WD-40 1200-1500-2000-2500-3000. The WD40 helps to lubricate the discs and stops the sanding disk binding up with the metal powder . Then after that I use my buffer wheel on my bench grinder to get a perfect mirrored finish on it.

Nordic Gold Casting At Home - Trash To Treasure - ASMR Metal Melting - BigStackD Copper Alloy - ZĂĄbava
Hey there are you sensational subs back again for a nice Nordic gold melt. The first mold didn't work so I redid it to get a nice piece. It started off pretty ugly but it came out perfect. I'm top of that I did a heap of coins from a woodchip wagon brass nut . Now sit back enjoy today's longer video and I hope to see you all next Friday and as always have an awesome weekendđđ»đ
Hi, may I ask why you not preheat your molds until theyre red-glowing hot so that the metal wont cool as fast during casting, resulting in a smoother surface?
Would love to see that bar outside in the sunlight
I was about to leave the biggest hate comment ever left on a CZcams video if you didn't give those dogs some of your ribs. You did the correct thing though đŻ.
@@PoisonNuke
From wht I read u wanted the mold to be 1/3 of the temperature of the alloy you're pouring.
I wonder if using a pickling solution to rinse your copper would give you cleaner melts?
Granted you would have to do it a couple weeks before a melt to make sure there was no moisture left hidden somewhere in the raw materials afterward.
Copper Tin and Zinc is actually an old recipe that used to be known as gun metal way back in the day. It was one of the primary casting materials used on old bronze cannons and it has this absolutely wonderful deep bronze color that weathers to a rich golden brown. It's not as yellow as your nordic gold but it's still very pretty, I'd highly encourage you to make some if at all possible or if you'd be interested.
The recipe was usually somewhere along the lines of Copper 85, Tin 12.5, zinc 2.5
There's several similar recipes in a family, to which they and Nordic gold belong. Cast iron bronze aka naval bronze being a pretty cool one to check out.
He has melted things as hot as Cast iron (~1204C) before, so I hope to see if his forge can make some Nichrome. (~1400C)
Thatâs interesting
@@Hue_Sam it took a while but I got CuNi 70/30 out of one
I have no idea how, but you can entertain a person for 30 min straight without saying single word, I love it :D , keep up the great work
Thatâs what I do my friendđđ»đ
@@bigstackD Hi bigstackD,
I have âfoundâ a way to involve both scrap copper and brass making Nordic Gold, as long as the brass contains more than 6% zinc.
For example:
If the brass contains 60% Cu and 40% Zn, then 81.5% copper, 12.5% brass, 5% aluminum, 1% tin works.
If the brass contains 75% Cu and 25% Zn, then 74% copper, 20% brass, 5% aluminum, 1% tin works.
In general, if the zinc content of the brass is Z%, then the recipe is:
(94 - 500/Z)% copper, (500/Z)% brass, 5% aluminum, 1% tin.
@@ValkyRiver woah there wiz, I like all your equations but is there an easy way to determine the brass's contents?
Just watched my first video and now I'm I'm hooked!
@LukĂĄĆĄ Lenghart check out "shurap"
Metallurgical fun facts:
- Adding 10% calcium prevents certain magnesium alloys from being a fire hazard.
- Lithium can actually increase the strength of aluminum alloys, since lithium atoms slot themselves very nicely in an aluminum lattice.
- Magnesium likes to do the same with titanium.
- Aluminum, carbon and manganese can become magnetic when combined into a single alloy.
- Adding a bit of aluminum to gold can turn it purple.
The ambient sound quality on this video is really super good! The wind đŹïž the road đŁïž and all them naturally orchestrated noises, put you right where you want to be! đ»
Ready to watch đż anyone else stay awake till 1am đ

Would love to see a pyramid melt... with all the metals melted together, poured into an upside down pyramid mold, and letting weight/gravity separate them.
Yhee what is that seams awsome.
Love a Nordic gold melt! And love seeing all the scraps from past melts make their way in. I recognize leftovers from at least three videos. My favorite part of watching your process is how nothing gets wasted.
Same ! It's strangely addictive =)
Iâve no experience in this nor Iâm ever gonna do this in my life but still I absolutely love watching these videos.
@judith te en cantan los cachorritos
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'd love a video just about the safety precautions you have in place in the event of complications. You do this so routinely I can only imagine you have an action plan for all eventualities.
@@TheInfidel_SlavaUA I think he's talking about the wet towel that was put over the burning sand.
@@TheInfidel_SlavaUA Just because it isn't a nuclear reactor means it's 100% safe. Besides suction ducts & respirators there are plenty of things that can and will go wrong if done incorrectly. I think the person wanted to know his safety measures because he's interested in trying it out.
@@TheInfidel_SlavaUA he's just saying he would like to see a detailed video where this guy outlines his safety protocols. Stop being a dick
A very nice thought good sir. I notice that bigD has stopped mentioning the repetitive warnings like preheating tools and casts. I suggest you keep doing them BigD, every time you let that on screen, a hazard is avoided.
You can never be too safe but thatâs some hot shit!
I'm so addicted to your videos and all the interesting components that you bring into your videos! You have created an interesting niche for your viewers and its just utterly addicting to say the least lol! Your videos are calming as well and I know I'm not alone thinking that and seeing different parts of the process and can't wait to see the cute peppers cameos every video!
I've scrapped metal throughout my life dumpster diving, picking up off curbside and getting factory scraps and have made little bits of easy jewelry or figures but I wish I had a setup like this! Or even thought about melting it down like you do!!!
Man, I would definitely love tohave some of the pieces you make!!! I think you should do a surprise give away every so often! I'm sure there are many like me that would go nuts over little trinkets etc!
Thank you for entertaining us!
Very coolâŠ.metallurgy has always fascinated me and you clearly have a handle on it, awesome way to spend your time and thank you for shortening the learning curve for me.
The bar and coins came out spectacular this time, not usually a big nordic gold fan but can't deny how excellent they look.
Awesome job brotha! One of the simplest things u do that I just appreciate, is the fact u put the price list of a bunch of different countries of what it's worth at the end of the videos! Thank you for the time & effort man.
You are a master at what you do and it has taken a lot of effort time and years to get where you are thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences
This is a blacksmiths dream in video games how you are soooo stacked you make beginners admire you.
Dude that looks Epic ! Really like how you just adapt & overcome keep up the awesome work & have a great weekend guys.
hello!! i love your videos, i even built my own furnace! thanks for all the hard work you do!
Love watching how clean the coins or bars get when you put them in ice or water like in this video. It's like a transformation of sorts. Really cool effect!
i love your schedule âyesterday : shit was meltedâ fucking amazing đđ
That rail you used for collecting the sand is so smart.
looks like just an shelf from ikea pretty ingenious use
Perfect way to start the weekend. Thanks again Aussie!
Man never speaks a word yet is (to me) one of the most respectable creators on this platform. đ
Watching your videos made me more aware of what can be recycled from the demo work I've done around the house. I stripped down as much metal as I can to avoid it going to the landfill
I love these Nordic Gold melts. The new coins look great too!
"Bugger this, I'm going to melt something."-bigstackD
"It's his fault!"-Bullion and Ingot simultaneously.
Another great video with great results as usual. Happy Easter to you and yours, D!
But the dogs looked like they wanted to play with him�
@@Tr1sh4Lynn huh?
WHY do i find this so relaxing to watch. Subscribed!!
Fantastic melt today. You work very hard on getting us today's melt posted in CZcams. Have a great weekend. đđŠđ
I know you probably know you're awesome, but I just wanted to remind you that you are in fact awesome and I get giddily excited when you have a new release. I love this channel.
Really enjoyed this melt!! Love the coins! đ
Thx for showing your pups! We lost one to old age yesterday. You really take care of them!
That shelf is all kind of amazing.
I do like it when you make the Nordic gold. What do you melt down all this extra stuff just to come up a Nordic gold is pretty fun to watch. Although, one of these days I love to see you make white gold or even Black Gold. Now that's something I would definitely click on to watch.
That nordic gold bar turned out sweet!
Lots of nice coins too!
No ice today! LOL
Those fellas are crazy today!
Chasin' each other around like madness! LOL đ
Thanx for a great vid D!
Thanks for the videos man, I'm starting to get into this myself and the information you give is going to be very useful đ
I'd love a get started video with all the knowledge you've learned thus far. Little stuff like how you clean the crucible from previous melts and how you get the leftovers out. I'm really looking to get into this to make ingots for fun/collection
I love watching metal works and smelting for some reason lol look forward to next week s project im enjoying these bigstackD keep em coming !
When being up late pays off...ending the night with a great video
Every Tom, dick, and harry would agree with thatđđđŒ
Itâs the morning here đ
Must be nice, itâs 2:30 am here
Nordic gold looks absolutely beautiful. Kinda wish I had a small pendant piece of Nordic gold.
I do find your socks to be interesting and sometimes cute. Keep up with the fantastic socks.
Me and a friend just poured our first little copper ingot yesterday. That is so satisfying to watch your video that i really wanted to try and that is so fun!
I love that his schedule just boils down to "get shit to melt, melt shit, repeat." Absolutely amazing.
As much as I love Nordic Gold, I'd like to see some more diverse alloys. I personally would like to see Shibuichi (a Japanese alloy of 25% silver and 75% copper) or Shakudo (another Japanese alloy, this time being 4-10% gold and 96-90% copper). I'm voting for the Shibuichi, since the nice dark gray/black patina with the gold colored metal. Maybe you could even do the combination of both known as Kuro-Shibuichi.
Where the hell do you think he's gonna find some gold and silver?!?!?!
@@ThePrufessa I mean, he's done silverware before.
Hi if you send me some, I'd make itđđđ
@@ThePrufessa Well, he has videos where he's done sterling silver and gold before, so I'm fairly confident in saying he knows where to get gold and silver from. And it's not like he has to go out and find it in a scrapyard or anything. Ever heard of the Internet?
@@ARDIZsq first of all which video has he used silver before? Secondly, ALL of the metal he uses is SCRAP metal that he finds for FREE. If he pays for the metal it completely defeats the point of projects. Which is to save up a tonne of FREE metal.
This was interesting.
And the way you showed the leidenfrost effect on the brass coins was very cool (=
Alchemy, alchemy I know it's evil but... I cain't look away,soo veeerry interestingđ€
I wish I knew you, it would be so fun to find you odd bits of metal to melt. It's wonderful to make new things out of old ones.
Great video đ Worth watching over and over and I wish you all the best
Aww man so satisfying when you put those coins in the water an they just like cleaned right up.!!
The water is not used to clean metal.
@@ThePrufessa I know.. but watch it as it drops in the water lol I changes from a dusty colour to a clearer gold colour...
I just used the wrong wording I guess lol
@@pingerboy69 I know exactly what you mean! I love seeing it change colour too!
I'm still jealous every time I see a melter have such a huge supply of scrap copper pipes since it seems no places around here have them. One of the ham nets I participated on a week ago were making comments on how scrap copper pipes make grear homebrew antennas.
We did that at work for our radio antenna, hooked it to a long copper rod.
@@joshfrank2778 It probably worked great I assume?
Best Nordic gold I've seen you do. Excellent job!
Found another relaxing video. Thanks and Happy Christmas BigD
I've always wondered what the conductive properties of Nordic gold are compared to other copper alloys, seems like it could make for a lovely and practical material for cooling blocks, heat sinks, and even as an electrical conductor for contacts etc. I imagine it's not better than some copper alloys but it is an interesting material!
Pretty sure it would make an awesome heat sink. Probably also very expensive one. I can't imagine the cost benefit analysis would favor using it Alot. Definitely seems to be a good looking art alloy though
@@joshschneider9766 I mean it's a bunch of cheap metals, the only reason it'd be more expensive than say brass is economy of scale. After all, zinc, tin, and aluminum are fairly cheap metals to acquire as far as alloys go.
Besides then you have *shiny* heat sinks
ever tried to melt gold? would really be interesting to see that, moreover I'm intrested in seeing some bronze/ brass from scratch
Every ingot you polished is the very satisfying part of every video.
the crucible with this gold looks like space
God, I love a good Nordic gold cast. Truly the best alloy
Great video, as always. I wonder if it would be possible to make a double or triple metal ingot (transverse, not longitudinal). Like those ice lollies that are made of two or three different flavoursâŠ
you could potentially fake one with a specialized mold that youd still pour in like a traditional longitudinal multi metal ingot. im not sure how else you could possibly get multiple metals to pour and cool "side by side"
@@Mekelaina You'd have to pour the hottest metal first and step it down and hope one doesn't melt the other!đŹ
That's the smoothest brass pour I've ever seen! Usually it's chunky like partially frozen soda or spoiled milk lol.
Man I used to watch this a while back Iâm glad I ran back to this in my recommendations
Hey BigStackD I am wondering how in the world you manage to get those shots where it spins around the bar (or whatever amazing thing you made) and the arcing shot on the disk grinder? My guess would be some kind of rail or wheel system but I cant find anything on that! I'm so intrested in how you do it!
Look up Lazy Suzan Camera dolly or something like that, there are a lot of different names for it.
@@hayden9876 maybe they're too much of a lazy Susan to research it themselves
he just holds his hands really steady and uses post processing
It's on a drone!đž
Well ig weâll never know
Was a good day for the boys this week, ribs are a step up from cucumber đ„!!
Loved the bar design for the Nordic gold, cool as usual. Have a great weekend and thanks for the video.
The way you pretend to keep ribs in odd areas, reminds me of a prank I played on my friend after school one day.
I left a frying pan in my freezer while I went to school. Then when we came home (he would usually come to my house after school), I took it out of the freezer and put it on the stove before he could see. Then I turned on the stove fire, when he was looking. I took the pan off the fire then put it on his arm and he yelled like I burned him even though the pan was ice cold!
I love the fact that he doesnt throw away anything, at least in the video.
I still canât figure out why you continue to do open face sand molds đ€Šđ»ââïž weâve talked about this haha. Iâm gonna text you now brotha but Iâm sure youâre still playing games đ€Ł
Did you make that giant Monkey Island coin? If so, how much do you charge? I need to know how much to ask my wife for! đđđđ
@@chrisrey9644 ask her for a grand
@@southaussiegarbo2054 I'll be sure to try that! đđđ
I remember watching you at same amount of subs as me. How things change lol
@@chrisrey9644 I didnât but I could if you wanted
Iâm always wondering whats gonna happen when he gets to 1 tonne, like is he gonna sell everything or Just set A new target haha :) keep up The videos its great every friday!! Greetings from the Netherlands
I believe he said that the new target would be 10 tonnes
When he hits the 2000 lbs mark he's going to build up the foundation on the house and build new shelfs lol.
I love all the animal noises throughout the video . Some great ambiance along with the sound of the furnace.
Always enjoy your haphazard/carefree nature during prep. Casually tossing things around and making a mess, nice bit of comedy!
Have you ever considered melting all the bottle caps you use? i'm sure if you kept all of them you'd have a pretty good bar by now, assuming they are all aluminum
Most bottle caps are an aluminum-steel alloy, unfortunately. The aluminum content might melt well enough, but he'd end up with a buttload of steel slag.
I love when you make Nordic Gold. Iâm trying to figure out what a âwood chip wagonâ is. Translated to Canadian, is that what we would call a âwood chipper â? đ
Probably a chip trailer... they would need a big brass actuator nut like that for the belly dump or especially for a live bed mechanism...
These brass nuts are around 16LBS each and are From a door opening mechanism off a woodchip wagon that a locomotive pulls alongđđ»
@@bigstackD Got it! For rail beds. đ
It would be EPIC if you casted a copper beer bottle. Beer makes the world go round!!!!!! Love you man!!!!!!
I wanna see a multi alloy bar keeping them separate to have different layers in the bar
He did one a few years ago czcams.com/video/0lKhfbnmXds/video.html&ab_channel=bigstackDCasting
technically speaking that wouldn't be an alloy if they were layered... lol but i get what you mean, i think that would be cool too
@@joeledwards6587 they mean it later as alloys.
So
Brass
Bronze
Nordic gold
What an awesome hobby!! Very detailed notes as well. Impressive, my man.
Awesome ! I love Nordic Gold, I have made Aluminum Bronze but yet to make Nordic. Thanks for the video. see you next Friday
Thanks for the recommend! Watching it now.
Love it mate! Really fantastic to see the whole process!
Everything this man does looks so...so..satisfying
The little man in the doorway right at end 26.24 ! Brilliant đđ
Great vid mate.
thank you thank you thank you. love your nordic gold vids. keep'em coming
I love watching these videos. I'm not sure why but I really enjoy watching these videos.
Love the dogs! Learn something new ... Nordic Gold, great stuff!
Sticky note and board with âsh*t to meltâ earned my sub lol
Awesome bar and coin rounds thanks for sharing bigstackd
This is my favorite metal to watch you melt and mold, Nordic Gold... Thank you...
I love⊠absolutely love the fact you donât do voice overs or play background music. Iâve watched for about a year and now I kinda wanna know what you sound like.
Hi D...I think you did a nice job with this video. I love the color of Nordic gold and this one was a beauty! The coins from the new coin molds looked cool also.
Those ribs you had looked delicious and seeing them gave me a craving.
The last bit of footage with the dogs chasing each other back and forth tickled me.
I really enjoy watching these videos. Especially when you say it's extra long like this week. The time appears to be longer but they don't feel longer after I'm through watching. "Time flies when you're having fun." really applies here.
Happy Easter to you and yours D. I hope you all enjoy some quality time together. Take care and I'll catch you again next week. đâïž
You should try building an induction heater and vacuum/nitrogen chamber, that way you can melt certain metals without them oxidizing.
As always, very satisfying to watch.
I really enjoyed the video and that bar was Wicked! I also liked the rounds.
Well done, from one Aussie to another.. metal magic.
Casting is soo cool, even those tin soldiers where awsome to make.
genius craftsman best ASMR ever.
4:15 Is like making soup đđđŸ
Slourp, yumm ty. The addition of 24 carots really gives that homey flavor
Dude⊠your channel makes me happy!
Thanks for the tasty bread recipe! I'll be sure to try it out
I never heard of Nordic gold before I started watching this channel. You did one before unless it's a repost. I think you could definitely get away with that. They are so good that old or new we still watch and enjoy đ đ âșïž đ
Idk why but when you took the towel off the mold and it instantly caught back on fire had me rollingđ€Łđ€Ł
I recently bought a 3kg electric furnace for melting metals I can't wait to fill the chamber with ingots.
Your schedule that you wrote down made me start honking like a goddamn goose it was hilariousđ
Your videos make me want to do this. Seems very gratifying.
Lol his snacks, thought I was seeing things when I saw him pull a burrito out of a bag of rocks in the last video. But now ribs in storage containers I see that's his bit lol
My mouth was watering when I saw your driveway, but then you bust out the ribs!
Nice. Your dogs are living large, way to go.
I'm putting a like on this here video.
This channel is great. You make stuff like coins or bars and you give us cute dogs to look at.
Been watching your vids for awhile now. Very cool. Respect from an old dude in Arizona USA.
