How relaxing this can be.
The set up.....portable. 
Pile of rejects and sprues 
The finished product... 
Closeup.... 
<snip> no off topic pics in an otherwise good post. dryflash3
All in all, a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

I really enjoy it. The trouble now is cheap lead is no longer in abundance. Most places know it is worth alot and want to charge you retail. I get mine from a local mom and pop tire store in the form of wheel weights. I still have to pay for it, but not as much as I would if buying commercial. Swing by the Cast Boolits forum and read up. There is a lot of information over there and that is where I got started with the whole internet forum community long before I found Arfcom.
Also, you can get into really cheap by using old pots picked up from yard sales, a hot plate, and a ladle. I did that for a while until I knew I wanted to continue and then I purchased a bottom pour pot and more sophisticated equipment. |
