Nice I like it! Only thing I don't like about those muffin-shaped cups is they don't stack and store all that great.

[LivnDream]

But they store in a 5 gal bucket just fine

looks great, nice job :)

[LivnDream]

Thanks

Nice job! What size bit did you use?

[LivnDream]

I used 1 3/4 bit so I could still lift them out when ready to dump
2.5 oz 4 pack condiment cups from wmart


I used an adjustable hole saw has center drill and an adjustable wing cutter

Hey, I use the mini muffin tins and store them in a 5 gallon bucket. Fill em up put a lid on and there stored away. Just make sure the bucket is where you want it before you fill it up, She's a might heavy.

[LivnDream]

The buckets sure are heavy when filled with ingots

Got a chance to break it in this morning works good

gotta get a feel for seperating ingot from hot cups lol

Looks good!

Nope! Didn't you know such shaped lead ingots interfere with the harmonics associated with mold construction when filled to within 7/64" of the bottom line of the existing casting/ingot fluxation working on the side? I didn't think so, but I can releave you of those incorrectly harmonized ingots, PM me and I'll tell you where to ship them (only if you ship them in cedar wood boxes and packed before they reach 62.5 days old).

[LivnDream]

lol sorry i got no cedar wood boxes and some of em are older than 62.5 days old

Very cool idea, looks great. What is the weight per ingot?

[LivnDream]

they are coming out aprox 1.4 lbs

That sure is a pretty rack you made for the cups. We would like some more pictures in about a year. Wood with lead splattered all over it will make a nice wall hanger, in your garage though. LOL Nice setup.

Dang! Great idea! I was just getting ready to do something similar by drilling a line of holes in a 2x4. Your design is much more elegant and would take up less table space. I may have to plagiarize that, if you don't mind.

[LivnDream]

use it as you like its the reason i posted it

in time it will need to be remade due to heat from lead but i got a grand total of 4.00 invested

[H.Callahan]

Thank you! Much more elegant than what I had in mind!
