Handpoured Silver Magic!
I've had the pleasure of meeting and dealing with alot of people that handpour silver. I love the look and feel of handpoured items.
The texture, pour marks and character are just so cool and it's great to have some in the stack.
Ofcourse there's big industrial mints that offer handpoured items such as Atlantis Mint. But their items are often poured by machines and not truly handpoured as I think it should be.
There's something special, almost intimate about a man melting and pouring silver by hand. Often the items are totally different than anything you can find on the retail silver market.
I showed a couple items the other day poured by a gentleman that crafts silver bars in his garage. Hes also a fellow YouTuber who I'm trying to convert to Steemit. Vulcan5678.
It's not his primary occupation it's a hobby and a labour of love. Check out the video he made of himself pouring me a few items..
Wicked cool stuff! Now here's a short video of me opening another one of his items. I ended up buying the other "Gator Bar" he poured in the video above..
Awesome bars. Stayed away from the odd stuff when I started out. Then after you get examples of most coins you need something different to look at.
There is a huge market for alt/personal made items out there. Like personalizing a car or just to have something different. Never can justify the premiums on them but they can keep your interest and keep you stacking.
Go ahead and splurge and buy something fun and shiny.
Reminds me of someone I met along my collection journey that poured his own and then made a legit business out of it. Market Harmony from Pittsburgh, PA. Someone made it to the World Series of Poker final using one of his pours as a card holder.
That's pretty cool, I watch alot of poker on tv, it's always on when i get home from work. That or darts haha
they make some really nice pieces my friends got one of there 3oz bars its super cool and ive never seen another one
Hey man thx for the post boost thing u signed me up for! Appreciate it 👊😎
Damn that bar has shinny rays pouring out of it! I love the hand poured silver stuff the most.
Was reaching for my shades :)
Yeah man blinding. Silvers so beautiful!
I love the handpoured goodness and I was hoping to get my latest pieces today. I got a t-shirt instead, maybe tomorrow I'll have a better video! I'll have to post up some pictures of all my pieces to share with you!
Hell yeah you will! I won't ask you what you got I'll just wait for the post 😎
Very cool I love them silver pours
Yeah me too man. Nice to have a variety and these are definitely unique
gator bars are so wickedly cool each one totally unique :)
Yeah 100% Vulcan is a magician
Nice shout out man! I don't think alot of the artist in the silver community get the recognition they deserve.
So far I've shouted out a couple. Great guys too eh?
You just have to keep plugging away at the silver tubers. I think the likes of mikegpo, Taz, CSS etc would do really well over here they've always got some neat stuff to show👍
Yes you're right! I've been neglecting YouTube since I joined Steemit actually. I need to make a vid soon. Take care my friend
Yes I spend way too much time over here as well, but it is nicer, not so many trolls as yt!
Awesome looking shiny stuff, thanks for sharing @goldenarms, cheers.
