Melting and pouring silver

[ylesfitz8839]

I've watched your video several times, and still don't know, what are you pouring into? And what did it create?

[zeek19961]

its red hot dont touch it how bad did it heart

[fall22123]

Do you burn yourself a lot?

[zachywacky10]

Dude your camera suck get a new one

[kook2222]

Great safety, no gloves, breathing in toxic fumes, and I bet you don't wear eye specs. Get a tiny fragment of that shit reacting to water, and you're going to be blinded for ever!

[cleanmrbroadway]

whats the purpose of the ingot. you can sell the scrap silver and save the trouble.

[nanakimurasaki]

I like your process. How did you make the makeshift forge you used to melt the metal? also GLOVES!! USE EM YOU NUT CASE! or at least use them fine looking tongs! also your saying the temps in Celsius whats the Fahrenheit temp for melting silver?

[TheBrotherMouzone]

ROFL.

[mrsyafi]

Lol to all those shouting about gloves, Pros dont use gloves its for amateurs lol . Safety 1st.

[newmoon185]

idiot ur supposed to use gloves

[RealFutureStar33]

So can you melt down your quarters and seperate the elements with this?

[quilltape]

dumb ass wear fuckin gloves

[c4t2f0]

PLEASE buddy,what set up are you using?What is your kiln made of and where did you get it?Then is it just propane gas that you are using to melt the silver?I have alot of silver and would like to try making my own ingots and rounds for fun but know nothing about it?any feed back would be fucking great.Thank you

[starkiddo83]

I can't believe you're not wearing gloves. =(

[NeverThat]

thats cool. what did you use to hold the silver. i want to try this

[nickyjam770]

you dont have a glove,,yay,,you saved 2 dollars worth of hand

[weezy0237]

either my connection or ur video...it was blurry

[TreeTrappin]

Just wondering, what did you pour it into?

[SHTFzombies]

can I drink It?

[Indigozek]

i'm sure you could

[bambam4LSU]

you the man!!!

[bravo4848484]

No gloves? What a moron!

[detroitgreeks]

Work gloves? safety first!

[jjvilm]

like monoply416 said: w/e you made it was cool, but i still want to know what you were trying to make, and what are those blocks, you used as a furnace, made of?

[boi560]

It might be a good idea to invest a couple bucks in some work gloves ;)

[fedaikn]

although you have a nice furnace setup there, you didn't get it hot enough. i have the same problem using propane.

you might wanna experiment with steam casting

[testosteronelove]

that can't be safe at all

[MihiLibertas]

Why..

[monopoly416]

what did you make?????????

what ever it was how you did it was cool!

:) :) have fun making things

[oc5nsli341nforce4]

You should have used graphite molds and I have seen them on ebay.

[iiKrom3ii]

How about using some gloves instead of trying to grab it bare-handed

[americafirst101]

WOW...he melted two lumps of shit into one lump of shit......

[mijuandi]

NAPALM??

[djoz1q2w3e4r]

looks 2 me a METH LAB

[theblackcuriass]

and how would u know wat that looks like. hehehehe

[ElginPocketwatch]

@djoz1q2w3e4r lol at your grammar

[DoorOfPerceptions]

cool video, whats that background music?

[myamulet83]

i found it great but do you wear safe gear is kind of dangerous ..

[laythrain]

lolz thats not a mini foundry thats a MICRO foundry

[gouldsdragon]

I just did that with a spoon that was a tripple plate spoon and the silver did melt and seperate from the base metal and collect at the bottom of the crucible in a blob and the base metal ended up solidifing into sharper masses.

[creten69]

i want to melt a bunch of old silver plated flatware,would that be hard?

[thewayitisnt]

Post more videos of things you have no clue how to accomplish properly , safely, or successfully.

Stick with play doh, or another room temperature hobby before you hurt yourself.

[lids65]

this is human ingenuity at its best! if everyone throughout history had been concerned with doing things properly and correctly and following W.H.O safety standards nothing of any importance ever would have been invented, discovered or stumbled upon.

I say go for it, and forget about arrogant doomsayers who like to squash creativity.

Hey, people make mistakes, people get hurt. What? do you want to live in a plastic bubble

[natewifi]

That is stupid logic lids65, everything should be done properly. :/

[lids65]

get off yourself

[natewifi]

Your grammar and spelling needs severe improvement. I don't get what your even saying. Get off yourself? What? Fail. :/

[lids65]

?? R u serious? lol. i dont know whether to laugh or cry lol lol

[natewifi]

I don't know whether to recommend going back to 4th grade or get yourself a job at McDonalds. Face it, your for the lose lids. Your slang is terrible to the 10th level, and your spelling capability emits an iq score of 2.

[lids65]

lol lol go back to bed

[Fredmullegun]

Quick question, I have a scientific furnace that can go up beyond the melting point of silver, whats the best mold for me to use if I just want to dump in my silver, let it all melt then take it out?

[mellamoliz]

Wish the video was of better quality. still impressed.

[jeremiahswee]

dude that was awesome... can you teach me how to build that furnace?

[firebolt97]

what kind of metal cup did you use to melt the silver in and what is the melting point of the silver?

[mermaidkiller]

this is a graphite crucible which contains no metal at all.

The melting point of puresilver is 961oC and sterling silver 893.

[fedaikn]

great job, although not compplete. this is how you get better.

i wanna ask what type of plaster you used. i also tried to cast silver once but used plaster of paris which got decomposed. i wanted to mix it with fine carbon dust to keed firescale low but i gave up the whole story. also did i think of either a vacuum system or a centrifugal casting system because i observed that the superficial tension creates casting problems.

[Sumermagor]

did you use propane+oxygen mixture?

how long is it took to melt that silver down?

[mermaidkiller]

No I used plain propane without oxygen or compressed air. 100 grams of silver meilts in about ten minutes.

[jessica39574]

what kind of gas are you using for the torch?

[imarn96]

HUH? Wish the video was of better quality. I would have like to see what was going on and maybe have a narrative.

[mermaidkiller]

Yes I know why, I have converted it by Quicktime from the AVI form my camera to FLV. Later I found out that using Riva the quality is much better and no larger file size.

[mermaidkiller]

Maybe, I made a new trial and that turned out better, the mold was vertical now. I tried with bost cast iron and silver.

[silver760]

Not enough vents in the mould?
