  • Firstly I highly recommend you do not do what I do tearing down and stripping microwaves can be extremely Hazardous if you do not know what you’re doing ! this video is purely for entertainment purposes only and not a tutorial on how to do it. If you feel as though you do need to strip down and microwave it any time be sure to thoroughly do your research as there are toxic things inside that can be extremely hazardous to your health.
    THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS THE DANGERS OF STRIPPING A MICROWAVE

    Anyway guys how are all you beautiful people this week? Rest assured these microwaves were destined for the bin and were all faulty I just thought I’d have a bit of fun with today’s video doing one of my sneaky steals. I hope you all have a great weekend I hope you enjoy the video and I’ll see you all next week👊🏻😁👌🏻

    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??????.
    ****************************************************
    STEEL FOR MY FRIEND
    I keep all my steel and cast iron pieces and I give them to my friend and once he gets about a tonne from me and his own collecting he takes that to the scrapyard and sells it then he buys some beer and comes over to my house and we make a night of it.
    No My friend doesn’t have a CZcams channel he just scraps metal in his spare time.

      @@blacktemplar9499 funny you say that. I went on a trip to Honduras to help build part of a school and medical clinics in the rural areas. My best friend and I were on the medical team getting things ready for the next day while the construction group was at the school building it. The group coordinator comes in and grabs my bestie. They both come back in and I my bestie is bawling and the group leader says "there's been an accident" and it was an "oh shit" moment. She then tells us bestie's dad cut his hand off. Like WTF?! I instantly went through a mental inventory of the tools we had that could cut a hand off because knowing which would give an idea of if it would be reattachable and the only thing I could think of was that we'd brought a grinder. No saws or anything. Turned out he hadn't cut his whole hand off. Someone dropped their hard hat and bumped him off a ladder when they bent over to pick it up. It's a prefab building and mostly sheet metal and he had tried to grab onto something as he was going down and it sliced off a bigass chunk of his outer palm and it was reattached nicely. He couldn't work the rest of the trip, though. That was wild and I felt terrible but he's good.😎🤙sorry, random storie from a random person but, oh well. Maybe you'll get something out of it.🤷‍♀️😅

    Who's the best scrap metal melter and caster that turns trash into treasure? Hint... he sneaks and hustles around his house hoping his wife doesn't catch him in order to ream him a new one. All is done tastefully with intended subtle humor.
    If you don't know by now you've been missing out and you've got a lot of catching up to do.
    It's BigStackD Casting of course! The original self taught man who brings a lot of happiness and knowledge with each of his eagerly awaited weekly videos.

    First: SAFETY - To anyone considering tearing down a microwave... BE CAREFUL of the magnetron tube. The ceramic it is made of will disintegrate into fine powder if broken. That is the stuff that can cause silicosis if inhaled. Safety rant endeth.
    Second: Thank you for the hundred dollar burn! I've missed those so much, it was such a wonderful trademark.
    Third: After the "email me for 5%" caption, I envision BigStackD mailing out little penny pouches of the used insulation from the furnaces, roughly 5% of the mass of the insulation ;-)
