You'd be making more BTC by cooking up meth in your bedroom with laundry detergent.
Of course, big Breaking Bad fan. I'll stick to legal activities/trade though. But thanks for the advice lol.

Its as easy as 0, 1, 1, 2, 3
After hours spent cooking and then distributing the drugs, most drug dealers make less than minimum wage.

That's probably true. I'm sure most good meth cooks make more than I did as a Linux admin.

I personally would buy from this guy. Who wouldn't? Step 1 is to almost burn your house down, step 2 is almost cut your fingers off while sanding, step 3 is hammer it flat like some sort of primate. This guy can't even afford proper tools and at this rate his hospital bills will be driving him into debt. BIT COIN LOGIC!

Please stay off my posts. I'm not trying to incite anything further with you.

Hey!

Thanks for the videos. That was actually really neat to see. I now have a lot more appreciation for those home-made silver ingots. From the video, that ingot sure does look impressive. Very, very shiny and smooth. Looks like it takes a long time to do that.

As far as the hole in the ingot, does that happen on the side touching the wood, or on the top side where you pour the water? If it's on the side touching the wood, my guess is that moisture in the wood seeps up and causes the hole to form. Wood has a high moisture content, and that moisture will probbaly boil off as soon as the hot silver touches it. I guess the plastic doesn't do it because it's non-porous and shouldn't trap water. I'm also guessing that the drier the wood gets, the less that will happen, although it gets more moist with the water you have to add to cool it down. And if it gets too dry, I guess it could catch on fire more than it already did.

That being said, I really know nothing about silver casting beyond what I learned in the videos. I liked your creative use of materials. I do hope that you can get a real tumbler, though! Must be a lot of work shaking that by hand. You might be able to rig up a way to spin it off-center on your drill, too.

Anyways, nice job on the video! I learned quite a lot.

Thanks,
Teran
Not sure what the poster below is doing on here, but thanks for the comments. It is the wood-side that the hole forms on. I've been wondering why and thats a good explanation. I have a graphite mold but hate it because you have to heat it up to the temperature of silver's melting point (uses a lot of gas). Looking into finding a cast iron one or something.
