Made ANOTHER ingot mold

[Casting Timmy]

Loosk great...I like the idea

[UBER7MM]

Great idea. Wish I'd thought of it!

Make a couple more with different type screw heads for different alloys, no more marking each ingot after they cool.
Just be sure to write the code down and tack it on the wall

That mold looks pretty good! The ingots would fit right in the melter.

I still have my old cast iron cornbread mold. I'd get tons of wheel weights and smelt them. After the metal was clean, I'd pour the lead into the cornbread mold so I ended up with lots of silver ears of corn!

Been buying lead from a guy who salvaged it from shooting range berms. He melts it into a big pan so when I get the ingots, they look like 12" x 1" thick muffins of about 33 pounds. We've been working the USPS delivery driver pretty hard!

heres my idea i took the one shown and used a piece of hardwood with steel washers on the bottom of the cup. This keeps the charing down.i used a pair of wood handels works good after filling just set down and the metal cools then tap sharply with a wooden mallet and out they come have 4 of them made up now thats 16 hunks of lead with a total cost of 4.06.tks for the idea ken

What do ingots from these cups weigh?

I have similar cups I bought at Sam's club. The ingots come in between 1 to 1.25 lbs if filled with the ones I have.

I saw it in the earlier posts but muffin tins work well too. This is a great idea maybe the carriage bolt is the way to go and not have an issue of grabbing or sticking. I would love to see some pics of process and ingots after casting.
