Swede did a one-off of 4 x 1 lb ingot molds his past week.
Got to try mine today and here is a shot of 20% of my quick smelting. Had a bunch of lead and cast bullets from a house fire and wanted to cast them all into clean ingots.
molds are great--wife even talked about putting one on wall as an 'accent piece.'

Yes those do look good. My ingot mold is somewhere in the delivery system yet.Robert
Well, the pic seems upside down, but I also managed to get some ingots poured in my new NOE mold. I like the alloy composition options on the ingots as well.
tja6435, inventor of heliumlead. Had to stack it on the ceiling to keep it from floating away.
got mine last week, need to find more ww to smelt so I can try them out. two weeks ago I smelted all the scraps I had.
What are the markings on the ingots?
Man! Those ingots are of a REALLY light alloy! My mold is still in the sorting loop called Detroit - Pontiac area where packages have been known to languish for up to a week before getting up to Flint - about 75 miles.Robert

Just received my set today very nice machine work. Won't be using them for about a month got 50 lbs of monotype and plan to mix it with WW that I have on hand. If I read the charts correctly 3 parts lead to 1 part monotype.
That is a nice mold. I opted to go with 4 jumbo muffin pans that have cavities for 6 muffins. Each "muffin" weighs 5 pounds. So I can pour 120 pounds of lead ingots before I need to empty the molds.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Wilton-6-C...e-Pan/10542207 The local store sold them to me for $14.50 each.
Hmmmm....jumbo cupcake pan $15. Jumbo muffin pan $6. Hmmmmmm.
If you don't want to spend the $$$, I get that, but like anything if you want something nice you pay for it. You are comparing the crudest of ingot "molds" to the best I have seen. Some posts are such a waste of server space.
Why waste 36 dollars to get 4 1 pound ingots when the muffin pan will provide more capacity for half the cost. And yes, I could have found cheaper muffin pans, but the cheaper ones are coated with the non stick coatings and hot lead sticks to them.
I am also not going to spend 36 dollars on an ingot mold just to feel like I have a higher status because I got the "Cadillac" of ingot molds I overspent on.
"Higher Status". That is what this is all about, higher status.
Memo to Al, please stop making nice stuff.
Its all good guys! Different strokes for different folks. NOE makes a quality product and its no surprise that their ingot mold is top of the line. A little pricey for some and worth it to others.
"A little pricey for some and worth it to others."
Exactly. I don't own a 1050 press, but God Bless everyone who owns one. I never looked at all this the way most/many do. Get the cheapest, get the best, or get something in between. I get all points of view, just don't get the notion that buying an ingot mold has anything to do with status. No one cares here, or any where else, what types of ingot molds I have/use.
