I've been playing around with this in my head for sometime. I'm posting this as an INTEREST thread, to gauge how many might sign up. I will need that data, to get pricing together.
A few years back, one of our CB members offered a similar mold in 4-cav as die-cast. My thought is to offer die-cast IF we can get the order count high enough. I'm currently talking with a couple local shops about having tooling made and in order to make this available to everyone, I will pad each mold with an equal portion of the tooling cost. So the more we get, the smaller the cost per-piece.
Here is what I have so far:
Showing a single 2.5Lb bar
This is now the FINAL DESIGN!
Here are the dimensions for those asking about size. Each ingot will be 1.4" wide X .9" deep X 5.25" long
Showing that 12 of the bars can be stacked in a small USPS Flat rate box with no room to spare, this means for you that sell your lead, you get 30LBS shipped for just $7.15 USD
Once I have numbers flowing in, I'll start calculating the Piece Cost
NOTE: I still have to design up the handle geometry of the mold and the handle to be used, rest-assured, you will have this detail as I progress.
