Hey folks, I have decided to move this project to the back burner for a while. Thank you to those that reached out.

No longer relevant.

Thanks gents for all of the thoughtful replies. I continue ti check back here for insights shared as I look gorward to another long alaskan winter if projects.

You could but they would be plastic.

Sir that is an outstanding video and of course lead me on to other good ones. I appreciate it.

I have been reloading for a few years now. 3d printing for about 6mo and learning CAD. I was wondering if anyone on this board had any experience with 3d printing a mold in plastic, and then using a...

First batch of Holy Black has been milled, corned and is drying. Had it on my mind for years to try this. Looking forward to trying it out.

I came across a reference somewhere which mentioned graphite added at 0.5% by weight. May have been a pyrotechnic site however.

Found a $4 food processor at Goodwill. Took a while doing the small batches but after sifting through an ultrafine drink screen it is all now converted to airflow charcoal. Used damp paper towels...

Thanks Swamp, yes that is a great
Thread. Have read it a couple of times over the years and was an inspiration.

Success. Popped it open long enuff to see it had worked. But not yet cold case a cope of eggs started to glow. So back on with the lid to let it cool for the night.

Sorry guys, yeah I realized later it was a terrible photo. After looking at it again, I must agree....it has to be a boolit sharpening jig.....you know, to convert wad cutters to semi wadcutters,...

Hmmm, maybe. Just seems weird that it would be in w the reloading stuff it it was.

Bought a load of reloading stuff at an estate auction a while. Was going through some of it today and I could identify everything but this thing. I can't find a name or number on it. Just lots of...

Very nice indeed
