I had to sell my Lee 10 pound pot and just
when the weather is getting warm.
I did get a chance to look at a Lee 20 pound pot and it seemed to look uncomfortable to use. It seemed that you could not see under the pot to well,
as in getting the mold holes lined up correctly. The mold guide is small and doesn't look like it holds the mold very well without it slipping off.
Also seems that you have to lift the mold up quite a bit each time you bring it up to cast. Also have to lift your right hand up a bit to release the lead.
Why not have the wooden handle at a lower position ?
OK my question is -- Am I missing something here ? Is the 20 pounder that much
uncomfortable to use ?
My 10 pound Lee was a pleasure, the handle was right there, easy to lift
and with a little block of wood under the mold I could get the height just rite for the pour.
If I ever get to have another pot so I can cast I was thinking of the 20 pounder.
Am I missing something here ? does it all work out when you start to use it ?.
Or am I reduced to a ladle and a camp fire ?
I got a new ladle for my ingots and now no pot. Why is it so hard to get it all together some times?
