Melting a lump of scrap gold and making an ingot - By Mobeus Jewellers

[MrPrepped1]

How much heat do you need, and how are you creating it?

[superdave54811]

I wanted to see the finished product!

[ylesfitz8839]

I even clinched when you poured it, glad it didn't spill :)

[drutter]

liquid real money

[ExpatFreedom]

good video ;)

[Dri0m]

0:19 i think your gold is made from big % of copper (green flame)

[8mobeus8]

@Dri0m 9ct gold has a large percentage of copper which would explain the green flame, rose gold has even more copper in it.

[Drop980]

toutch it! :3

[PurePwnage20]

Thumbs up if minecraft brought you here ;)

[smivv02]

light a ciggie off that torch... lol

[mcfishyd]

What is the mold you used called?

[SuPrAmAd101]

@mcfishyd a mould.

[jaws99099]

What did you coat the crucible with? Borax?

[jaws99099]

@guydd876 ACIDS. Nitric, HCL. Lots of info on the web, google it. it's a pain in the ass to do though.

[WeedFlow420]

.42 has a evil gold smile LOOK AT IT!! EVIL I TELL U

[funkeys3456]

what are you melting on? idk the melting point on gold but i guest that it is more than thet thing your melting on.

[cooldude9873]

Were u using a blowtorch

[cooldude9873]

Can u smelt gold ore with that

[fall22123]

you should show us what the finished ingot looked like

[MrOlekul]

scrapgold? its one pair of goldrings!!! and not scrap

[8mobeus8]

@MrOlekul two scrap weddings and a piece of scrap bar.. what do you want scrap to look like?

[shtfprepared]

@MrOlekul DUUHHH! That's called SCRAP idiot.

[MrOlekul]

@shtfprepared

in norway scrap is trash, so from a norwegian perspecktive scrap means somthing you trow in the garbidge. DUUHHH! is it my foult tat the norwegian word : scrap, means trash?

[kebacor]

Does melting the gold make it purer or do you have to do a lot more with it if so can some one explain the procedure thanks cool vid

[8mobeus8]

@kebacor you buy it the purity you need or melt up whatever the customer supply's, refiners deal in different purities.

[kebacor]

@8mobeus8 Thanks For reply very helpful

[WhiteDavey]

Anyone need any gold?

[blackxpinkxx]

i might try this when im older it looks quite fun!

[719OG]

i saw green flame

[8mobeus8]

A customers.

[gbr097]

is that your wedding ring? O_O

[GMasis001]

How come the gold melts but not the metal plating around it??? Or is it concrete?

[ipballdtime]

@GMasis001 the bowl he is melting it in is made of a different material and has a much higher melting point then the gold.

[Rampagedd]

So every Jewelers will have a workshop like this around the back or something where they melt down goodies? whats the value of that ignot roughly?

[TheScootyPuffer]

what Chuck Norris drinks for breakfast

[8mobeus8]

@TheScootyPuffer only on the days he has run out of plutonium.. so word is on the street !!

[dregsta]

sunny side up please

[CantOlie]

Dude how can u risk splatting tht everywhere, if u miss that small puny hole at the end?

[8mobeus8]

@CantOlie practice and a good eye ;-]

[guevodeplomo]

Hot 

[8mobeus8]

@guevodeplomo damned hot indeed ;-}

[elitecssplayer]

what are you melting it with?

[SOAHCSOAHCSOAHC]

@elitecssplayer Looks like propane. Maybe MAPP gas. I can't imagine what acetylene would have done to it!

[8mobeus8]

@SOAHCSOAHCSOAHC yes its propane, acetylene would have worked too but it produces much more soot to deal with.

[clockwurkent]

Where did the music come from? Hot!

[8mobeus8]

@clockwurkent You can hear more of the music on soundcloud type neebofficial or neebnortheast on myspace or simply NEEB in google

[nostresstoday]

How are the other metals separated that are in the gold? I did not see a division of the copper. Unless you were working with 24k already...

[8mobeus8]

@nostresstoday It doesnt matter what carat I am given to melt up it is all just melted together nothing becomes separated whatever other metals are mixed in the gold, copper , silver etc... stay in the mix... A refiner would separate all impurities to take the gold back to pure 24ct.

[nostresstoday]

@nostresstoday  Ah ok t hanks.

[33200]

good god, i wonder the melting point of the thing he used to melt the gold in

[pkrprodigy777]

@33200 ...thats a silica crucible used for melting silver and gold,,most of them can take heat up 2800-3000 degrees,gold melts around 1925 degrees

[8mobeus8]

@orangeturtle1 Yes impurities cause most of the colours.

[no100yang]

where it go O.O

[runescape951230]

Where would man be without fire? Surely we would have remained cavemen, as fire is the base for nearly everything we have. Jewelry and metals are just one of the many examples.

[monkeybass01]

Now that's a hot-looking flame coming out of that torch.

[bmxconnor09]

what is an ingot ?

[Nauticalman]

Excellent camera view. Most videos you can't see the clarity of the transition and see what it looks like when its refined. Great job!

[8mobeus8]

Ha ha nice one :-}

[fishingthewatershed]

Geez, that would have saved Frodo one big headache.

[8mobeus8]

Yeah you could melt it into a blob and send it back to them... haha..

[ChewySatisfaction]

Heeey, not a bad idea after a divorce LOL.

[Nauticalman]

@ChewySatisfaction yep... been there, done that... made good use out of that ring.

[TVAExtreme]

Flawless!

Do you happen to know a place where one can buy Open ingot molds for pouring very small bars?

1 grams to 1 troy ounce max.
