Been watching a few videos on melting and pouring your own silver bars. This one is crazy!! Researching furnaces, moulds, techniques etc fun times ahead
Love the hammer indentations, surprisingly awesome looking. I'd buy a bar that looked like that on both sides. I wonder if something like this would sell at higher premium than a mass produced mint bar because of its uniqueness.
I love this guys enthusiasm. I'd probably have a stroke if I attempted to be that jolly. This video makes me appreciate the work that goes into hand poured pieces. Cheers to SS active hand-poured billion artist 'Smithy's Bullion'.
When I was a young lad I worked in a gold mine and I used to pour gold bars by hand. So much fun, I thought we were dealing with big bucks back then and gold was under $500 at the time.
I've got some Ruthenium I want cast, contacted the main refiners but they won't do it, hopefully I'll find a hobbyist.
The main refiners won't do it due to the high temps required for Ruthenium. If their equipment can't do it I think its highly unlikely a hobbyist could
And don't forget FireBird Bullion-Lucky from the forum's YouTube channel, some really good stuff. Congrats Lucky! Amazing pours
