Let's talk LEAD

[ParallelCode]

When checking your molten pot of lead, be very careful not to let any sweat drop from your face, or anyplace else, into the pot. A drop of sweat fell from my nose into my pot. I instantly realized this and jumped out of the way. It made a most impressive volcano of molten lead flying into the air. I was not hurt but it could have been a serious disaster. I always melt lead outside with a fan. Take no chances. This is a dangerous process and all must be done to mitigate the danger. Best wishes

Wow, definitely not something to approach lightly.

That is some casting machine.
My budget I'll have to stick with conventional casting molds.

The most expensive part was the $65 Magma Engineering bullet mold. Then the $12 oven heating element, the rest was stuff Mrs. Morris calls “junk”.

wen my father inlaw closed his printing business I ended up with the casting pot , dipper and skimmer
holds about 4-500 # of lead at a time
its great for cleaning up scrap lead out side

I guess I wasn't clear....I added pictures to your descriptions. I would like to send the original post with pics to you for review, then if you agree, maybe you could repost.

This is a heavy subject.

Yeah, sure, sounds fine. Some way to privately send e-mail?
