    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'.

    I taught metal sculpture at Uni. Casting any metal is such a rush.

    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
