It's amazing how much Copper you can get from crushing and smelting down a small rock of Malachite ore. If anyone has a better way of doing it, please leave us a comment on how to do that. PLUS - all the Copper we smelted down today we will be giving away ....how do ya like them beans. Next, we will turn that Copper into Gold using the Philosophers stone ....stay tuned .

They say you learn something new everyday, and today I learnt all about copper. Loved it. Thank you so much Jeff. Years ago I can remember watching my dad melt down lead to make fishing weights. Always fascinated me. But, through dad's work trade, he ended up with severe lead poisoning! So, whenever he melted down lead, he had to drink a pint of full fat milk. This helped to neutralise the lead in his system. He's nearly 83 & having radiotherapy treatment (had 3rd dose today) but he does buy the fishing weights instead now!! Many thanks for all your hard work Jeff. Much appreciated. Take care.

Heat the mold red hot before and during the pouring, the shock of heat difference is minimal.
Try skimming some of the slag off before you pour.

Sreetips has a torch aimed into the mould as he pours the metal in it keeps it right up to temperature till the end of the pour.

Hey Big boy! It's me Dave from Florida! I love the fact that you are doing videos again, anything you do is cool with me!

[boblemon]

I used your Parkes process from a long time ago. It worked perfectly

[Jake_Collector]

Thank you sir for showing us the way to smelt a copper.

Many years ago, I visited a copper smelter in upper Michigan. They poured the copper into molds made of copper. Immediately after the mold was filled, the whole thing was sprayed with water. Shortly after, the ingots were solid enough to be dumped out of the mold into a pool of water. The ingots were quite nice looking, being only slightly discoloured. Possibly a mold of the same material resulted in the ingots being so nice,

Was working with copper all day and was wondering the smelting process. Loved the video and answered my questions!

[sathancat]

All these years and you're still making great, entertaining videos :)

[solace]

Great to see Jeff up and about, don't care none, just the smelting of mental is enough to get my AU boiling.

To get a decent looking bar from metal, you should get your mold hot enough that it glows and keep it there until you are finished pouring, this allows the metal to stay liquid for longer so that bubbles rise up and out, and the liquid is able to level off. You'll still likely get some defects from the bar shriveling up in the cold, but it'll shine up very well.

And thank you enough you are the man I like all your educational videos thank you thank you Jeff for taking the time to do that there's people out here that that really love that profession and are just learning and thank God it's through you good man

[boneheadredneck]

This is great. This guy is great and heck think i learned something! I gotta see what other videos this guy has!

[bitsofeverything]

The mineral itself is more beautiful, and in my opinion more valuable than the garbage piece of copper you get, besides all the process needed and cancer from the dust. Nice and informative video anyhow.

[William_Hada]

Heating your molds up before pouring would help to get rid of any moisture in/on the molds. Steam generated from that moisture would cause bubbles on the surface. A tiny bit of water will expand into a large volume of steam.

Thanks for your hard working friend Mr Jeff.keep up

If anyone knows how to cast nice metal bars it will be the Australian guy from the bigstackD Casting YT channel. He made an art out of making metal bars from all sorts of scrap metal. He also shows how he does it, and how he gives the bars a nice finishing polish. I'm sure that if you watch his videos that you can learn from it. And besides that it is a joy to watch his videos.
