Oh no, that’s a keeper! Lol.
For stuff like that, I carefully separate the handle and set it aside for desperate times....alloy shortages too....

Got a couple more nice little bowls from the father in law. I haven't weight them yet, I'll probably keep them around until I do larger melt, or need the pewter. My supply is built up pretty well for...

When in doubt, I like to melt, or melt a piece of the item, separately in my small Hot Pot and monitor with my lead thermometer. Not precise, but close enough to help determine if it's in the pewter...

Alrighty, gotta post this steal. There's a bit of another thrift shop story. So, there's very small charity shop, where most everything is only a few bucks or less. Right across from my work....
Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys

I went cut the...

Good to know about the Selangor. The only thing I've melted down yet was the suspicious candlestick, because, well, it was suspicious and I wanted to check the melting temp...it was right there in...

Latest haul from the father in law. The funky broken up candle holder did turn out to pewter, though they I had my doubts at first, making it about 7 lb total. They were unmarked. The wire part...

I haven't been to the flea market since early fall...maybe summer, but made it our Saturday. Not much, but right at the scenic to last seller I found these. He asked $5, which I'd have paid, but only...
I've done well enough getting molds from eBay. I just follow some guidelines. They need to have decent pictures, escpecailly of the cavities. If they don't, but I'm still interested, I request more...

Interesting. I'll have to check the stores around here. During the last scare, I bought about a dozen cans, more than I'll ver we at my current rate of production. I then kind felt foolish when it...
