call the rehab clinic,youre addicted! it doesnt matter what they look like. i have the junkiest looking piece of junkyard junk ever cobbled together but it makes great bullets. good enough that i now have 17 moulds. i dont get very technical with my alloys and percentages but i really enjoy casting for my pistols. i get to shoot my 45acp a heck of alot more and ive found a 170gr bullet for my 357 that i cant buy in the gun stores. im glad i got into casting.

That looks like some kind of commercial unit I don't recognize.......what is it?

Doc-J , I have the identical furnace. Picked it up at state surplus sale for $2.00. It can out of a lab. I mounted mine on an old barbacue grill, so that I can move it outside where I do my casting. I also had to place a fire brick at the rear to direct the burner flame to the pot. Good system. Culexx

Looks like a tinners forge for heating coppers. Used one in highschool shop.
