- I melt down many weeks worth of thrift store pewter finds. Pewter is a great metal to have on hand for your casting needs, as it has a low melting point and is very easy to cast.

yet another video of someone making something useful into junk. well done.
Looks like you went to a thrift store and found some good items to melt. The gold tint might have had some tin in it maybe, or a little copper to give it some strength. Really nice looking ingots. Great video.
That my friend is exactly what I did. Hunted thrift stores for a few weeks.
@@backyardfoundry Nice. I picked up some brass and what I thought was bronze. Turned out it was brass. I did find one piece that is pewter. Approximately 3 ounces. I'll keep looking for more to melt.
I would guess that the orange tent of the ignots is from the orange sticker that was left on the bottom of one of the larger items he melted. It may have been the last item he put in. I was wondering why he didn't remove that orange sticker. I would remove any and all stickers, etc., for purity.
I am not a metallurgist, but my reasoning was 1.) the sticker will simply turn to carbon and would be some more slag 2.) or perhaps the carbon does alloy with the pewter but is a small enough amount I wasn't too concerned about it. Truthfully I am not 100% sure if it affects it or not.
Looks like it has a good amount of bismut inside, not a pure tin
What makes you think that?
Nice!! Well done. Now for your next experiment: Turn the Pewter into Gold (or platinum, or any rare expensive metal). Alchemist Society. :)
that looked like a perfectly fine tankard. why turn it into garbage? and don't say for the channel because thats beyond silly
Pewter is a great casting metal so it is great to have on hand for projects or to practice with.
