Hey guys this is Jason of Mount Baker Foundry and today we're gonna be taking
this number two copper wire, melting it down, and turn it into ingots. And here's
our little push up furnace with our number eighty crucible down there. And I
think we've got about two hundred pounds of copper here we're going to melt down
and pour into ingots.
That's the last of our copper wire.
We've got about two-thirds of the pot there, so I'll let the rest of this
copper wire melt down and see how much we have in our pot before we pour it.
Okay we just give them the draw so now we're getting ready to pour it.
So I had to stop there for a minute and help the guys, we're a little short-handed
today. But there's our ingots, we got 13 here and one and a little little bit on
the 15th.
So there's our ingots, copper ingots. And they averaged about 15 pounds apiece or
so. We probably have 225 pounds somewhere around there 210, 215 pounds. We'll get
them cooled off and wait and see how much we got
So we pulled our copper ingots out of the pans. They're still smoking hot. We'll let
them cool down a little bit, we'll weigh them up tomorrow and see a final weight
on them. Here's our 14 and a little bit more ingot. These are the copper ingots, got
them on that little blue scale it comes out to 223.7
pounds. So as far as I know that's currently the biggest copper pour
on YouTube. So thanks for watching guys hope you enjoyed the copper video we'll
see on the next one.
