This is why it blows my mind that people are hitting him up for instruction or mentorship. Just... watch the videos. He is basically already taking you there. He literally even links to the book he's working out of. We've even been so fortunate to see how these refinements can go sideways so that's plenty of tutorial right there. I relate deeply to "This is my hobby, not my job." and can appreciate the opening sentiment here.

Thank you for sharing.. I would hate to be in your mind, all of the ongoing processes you have on a daily, has got to be mind blowing.. All the many waste solutions (Silver, Gold & Ect) Keeping & labeling what each one is and what order they are in processing.. Buying & testing gold and silver for future an ongoing refining, selling refined gold and other pure refined precious metals.. Keeping up with daily prices of them (+/- values).. It has to be a mad house behind the camera lenses.. I was a scrapper for many years and I always melted (copper, brass & aluminum) into ingots to get highest prices. Behind the work for me was choregraphed chaos, always in a process of cleaning and organizing. Then storing and selling when prices were high.. For just dealing with JUNK, I did quite well and made a very good living. It did consume 8 to 10 hours of my time every day. Still people who seen me work had to be confused cause of my methods.. I would bet the same for you.. If someone was allowed to follow and watch you for a few days, I would imagine they would be more confused by watching, without knowing the "Big Picture" you see in the bags, jars & containers of miscellaneous processes.. Sorry to babble on, I love watching and seeing a glimpse of your organized chaos, you call "all in a days work"

The difference between the expected yield (22.4g) v the actual yield (21.7g) is 0.7g of other scrap material. I enjoyed experiencing the purifiction process as you thoroughly explained each step. The text overlays are very helpful as well. Thank you.

Streetips; I didnt see you do the Filtering in this one but I would figure that when using a Disk tip filter-pad placed in a funnel set on a Filtering-flask; I assume its possible that those types of filters can rise to float or liquid can bypass around the pads edges flowing underneath and into the Funnels spout. Unlike Bowl types of filters which prevent that possibility.

Seems like keeping copperas prepared ahead of time as a regular thing would be a valuable tool in your toolbox. Especially when doing, say, a stock pot refining or anything else involving lots of mixed metals. True, it's a pain in the neck to prepare, but having something so selective in what it precipitates might be worth the time.

Thanks for another great video! the new fumehood is great! Do you find any difference in the shot size (total surface area) in the amount time it takes the nitric boils to remove the base metals? In watching your videos i've wondered a few times what would happen if instead of making shot, you made a bar of the inquarted metal, and then rolled it out into a thin sheet giving it a much more substantial surface area? I suspect the time and effort to roll it out would not be worth the trouble, but it still makes me wonder.
