Unboxing my black powder puck tool (resin tool)

all right so finally with all this weather we're having i guess they're having issues shipping stuff but this guy finally came in now like i mentioned before this isn't an actual uh plug press this is a rosin press for you know extracting the resin out of the marijuana and all that so but i'm gonna use it for black powder press so i guess it comes with a nice bag and here it is now this thing was only like 30 we'll say 40 with everything um mind you that this thing isn't [Music] it's a very nice heavy this thing is super heavy so it's not going to bend whenever i press it under my hydraulic press but very very nice and you can hear that those tolerances are very very hopefully it's not too loud on camera but those tolerances are very very nice so i know it's gonna compress the pucks nicely so you don't get these little gaps and stuff uh when i say the internal diameter of this guy is 1. 1 inch and 5 16. um the ones you can buy off of woody's is a two and a half inch puck and that thing is like 130 dollars so usually i buy alpha woodies but this time i went ahead and got something smaller because i'm not going to be making a ton of them but this is more just of trying it out rather for making pucks so because i have the tool let's go ahead and just make one scoops i should be making for a quarter inch thick or whatever size i don't know that yet so i'm gonna test it out but for now i'm just gonna put a few scoops in and whatever size it makes and that's what we're going with so i'll do three fat scoops of this black powder now obviously it's gonna compress once it's in there it's gonna compress and get smaller so let's see buy some of those spacers they sell though but those things are super expensive um it's like a huge piece of aluminum and that thing is like two or three hundred dollars so i'm not sure if i'm gonna do that hopefully this thing doesn't fly out though [Music] i gotta center it nicely that looks like it's gonna hold so that's only 1500. three thousand [Music] four thousand i'm gonna hold it for a little bit release and it's holding steadily at 1500 and it's climbing so i'm going to leave it like that for a while this thing is pretty much seated i can see a small gap on top so it's like tilted a little bit and that's just because the rod when it comes out it flexes or whatever so it's not gonna stay very flat and then i'm using my support with this and then this guy so um if if i can get the rod to go down further and hold pressure as it's lower that would be perfect but it seems that the higher it is the more pressure it produces for clamping force and that's what i want so i'm just gonna have to keep raising it up okay so i let it sit for about six to eight minutes i forgot all about it and the pressure is at 2800 psi so that's good it's set under pressure for a while let's go ahead and try to get it off all right let's bring this down here this thing is pretty heavy i want to say it weighs about a pound if not more but that's good because it's solid and put you guys down all right let's see nice that this thing pops right out no issues and there it is nice solid puck and it's got a very good sheen to it so you can see that glare on there that's exactly what you want that's going to show that it's actually compressed solidly i don't this guy is just big enough so i'm going to have to figure that out all right let me get it off off camera i'll get it out and then i'll show you guys see as i pressed it down um it very nice close tolerance as you can see the black powder is right on the edge see if i can hit that out with this oh look at that popped right out i just had to knock it out from the other end and there you have it this tool works really good i would definitely recommend it nice solid puck all the edges are nice and crisp there's no pieces missing now yes this other one is a bigger press the plastic one that i made but the edges are not solid you can see little chips missing and stuff but this one this one is dried this one is not but you can definitely tell the difference in the glossiness that glossiness is what you want to see this one is pretty much as thin if not the same thickness about a quarter inch but you can tell that this one has such a clean look to it and it is um what was it i think it was like three scoops of that i'll figure out what it weighs and all that but i'm gonna let this guy dry and then i'm gonna try to crush it up and see what that does i just wanna show you guys what it looks like after getting these nice tools definitely like i said um pick it up on amazon it's much cheaper than going online then if i ever decide that i want to do some rosin stuff then i can still do that too but the one that i initially ordered was a square or a rectangular one and that one was a two by three uh aluminum same thing like this but it was going to make it into a square and i could have made some nice rectangular um black powder pucks if you would but like i said amazon lost it they gave me a refund so i just ordered this one next day shipping and i ordered it last night or yesterday rather and i got it today so very very fast shipping um but yeah let's go and let this guy dry out and i'll show you guys what it looks like and once i crush it up [Music]
