Melting Brass Ball Valves with the DEVIL FORGE
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 04. 2022
- In today's video I melt down a bunch of scrap brass ball valves, some other brass fittings and some spare parts for my RC car. Luckily for me it warmed up enough to melt outside again.... but it didn't last long as snow fell the next day :(
But Luckily RC Randy made an appearance and helped me out with transporting those heavy ingots ! Stick around, there's plenty more to come ( Rain or shine)

"Ma can we watch big stackd??"
"No we have big stackd at home."
Big Stackd at home:
Jokes aside nice video 😂
Lol thanks man !
Ahhh to even be compared to the almighty bigstackd is a great compliment ! Cheers !
@@ScallywagsPlunder Hahah no worries man I want to get into this stuff too eventually I just don't have the time.
Cheers 🤙🏻
It's awesome, you should definitely pursue it. It's so cool
I like it! I'm about to build a forge too, and my first melting video is going to be a straight up tongue-in-cheek ripoff of Bigstackd's style, from the dogs to the silly socks 😂
i will have to subscribe for the doggos
That sounds awesome ! Let me know how it goes and your youtube channel too ! Cheers and have fun !
Dude you’ve got to put the borax in with the metal that’s not melted yet that way Dvorak boron gets all throughout the liquid metal pouring it on top of extremely high heat by opening the lid of your furnace and pouring it in that’s not gonna do anything at all to help you’ve gotta add the borax flocks in the molten metal as it’s turning to liquid and your Ingrids are going to turn out a whole bunch nicer it looks like your whole technique is to melt quick pour quick put them ingots Slow your process down a little bit add that borax two or three times as the metal is melting and it’s gonna work out a whole lot better for you but thanks for your enthusiasm and detail and melting down these metal good job very good video keep it all up thank you very much bye-bye
Coming from someone who doesn't melt metal I think you need to control the temp and not get the brass so hot. It is normal and inevitable to get some zinc to burn but that zinc burn off was the most intense I've seen!
Cheers,
Hahaha it was pretty intense wasn't it 😅 but yes you are right and multiple viewers have advised me of this. Thank you for the advice, I do appreciate it ! Cheers !
I think it's your zinc burning off which is harmful but a respirator will be fine
Just a suggestion that you can break down brass objects like this in a hydraulic press easy to make a hydraulic press for sections of angle iron a bottle jack available at most any good Store like Harbor freight for example so the trick is is your crush these objects which will break them up rather than just send them around so three or four CrunCheese undo the bottle jack on your hydraulic press add a lot of this is going to fracture some of it will break right in half so crush these hollow items prior to melting them down
I was scrolling down my feed and this video popped up. So I clicked on it, watched the video and subscribed. Great video. Brass is a beautiful metal, but sucks when you overheat it. I have been there and done that several times. Great looking stack at this point. I will need to watch a new video to see how it looks now. Great job.
Hey thanks alot, I really appreciate the positive feedback!
I gotta get back to it, I've been slacking 😅thanks again ! 🥂
Keep on burning 💥
Thank you very much ! I will do my best to keep chugging along !
Ahoy there fellow plunderer of trash and caster of treasure! Nice to find your video in my recommended, the bars came out great and that RC truck is awesome! subscribed and rang the bell for more! 👍👊
Thank you Ralph, I appreciate the positivity !! Kind comments make this so much more gratifying !
You need to have the pressure from the tank at like .5mpa
Thank you for the advice. And 0.5 is way too hot lol i usually never go over o.1 mpa. But clearly even that is too hot so thank you again !
@@ScallywagsPlunder maybe BigStack use .05mpa,
awesome melt :) love how brass shines :)
Thank you so much ! And I mean who wouldn't ? It's so nice looking lol
Thank you for the comment . Cheers !
nice!
Nice vidéo man 👍
Thank you for the positive xomment! Cheers !!!
Nice pours!
Thanks matt!
Gostei bastante dos seus videos! Parabéns!
Love melting brass. Scrap tp GOLD. LOL
Thanks Jack, it's an addiction what can I say lol
Good Video SW ! Enjoyed it.. Others have already mentioned the overheating, but just one other thing. Dont stir the molten metal . It wont aid the the melt, you are just stirring air and any dross back into the metal..
Regards, John
You got yourself a new sub here.
What you burned off is the zinc. Toxic fumes so wear a respirator that can handle metal fumes, you do not want metal fume fever.
I do not melt myself so I am certainly no expert but I think youneed to calculate how much zinc you need to add at the end of the melt to make up for what you burned off, the zinc serves a purpose in brass.
Thank you for the sub and the advice, I really appreciate it! And yes I do wear a reapirator and am thinking of getting better filters in the near future! Thank you again!!
What size moulds are they classed as? Cheers
Umm it says 5000 g on my order history. Hope that helps!
Good Video!, El humo puede ser debido a mucho cinc? y las manchas amarillas parecen indicarlo. Saludos desde Argentina!
Cool vids,you have another sub 👍
Thank you so much !!
Awesome video. Just did my first aluminum forge last night with my new devil forge. Question. Do I need some borax sprinkled in all forgings or just certain metals? And is all borax the same or do I need a specific kind? Thanks
Hey thanks a bunch ! Awesome keep it up. And you should use bora, I've forgotten and the purity isn't too different. It's up to you and how pure you want your metals. I don't mind, it's all beautiful treasure to me !
I get lots of these. I want to try this now
Definitely do it. It is so much fun. I love this hobby very much.
Way way way to hot for the zinc.
Slag DONT BURN OFF!!!!!!
It's zinc that get's dirty, you need to be really careful with temperatures if you use zinc brass, there are many kinds of brass. Respirator is a must too.
Thank you for the advice, I love all the info. And yes I always waer a respirator !
The oven exploded in my face after I dipped the cleaning stick in the water. Was the explosion caused by the water?
Oh yeah, it was water! Steam is crazy powerful. But I had p.p.e.
Stay safe !
I melted a whole bunch of copper alloy brass and bronze together once and ended up with beryllium toxicity. Don't assume all the stuff is pure brass or just copper and zinc, it could be whatever the Chinese manufacturer could purchase at a good price. Keep your heat down as you're burning off your zinc. When something like that big nut doesn't melt, take it out and have a look at it later.
Hmmm interesting. I will keep that in mind and thank you for the advice !!
So what are ya gonna do with yer metal? Just look at it? Whats the point?
yeah man i melt brass and your burning a bit hot hence so much smoke only need the furnace just under copper melting heat
Sir,how to minimize slag?
I think by using more borax, the amount of slag can be reduced.
Thank you for comment !
@@ScallywagsPlunder ok thank you sir👌
zinc
You forgot the crazy socks and a flag to toast to 🤷🏻♂️
Hahaha maybe I should lol
Thank you for commenting !
Well published, you are creative and you master the work well * I thank you in your channel from the followers of your channel. Thank you for my channel. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the psoitive comment, that really means alot to me !
u need to get big stakd devil forge mk2
Hahaa maybe I shall !! Lol Thanks for commenting !
The RC truck thing is cool. I would have to agree that your video is very very close to BigstackD. The style of the video is what I like to watch but maybe leave out the “cold beer and boot kicks and funny socks”. It’s just way to close to BigstackD. I’m sure you can think of something. Keep it up.
Okay thanks for the advice and commenting. Cheers !
