I noticed in the photograph, that you have added 'C' clamps to your implements. Do you find that makes them easier to use? Or are you using them as heat-sinks?

Yep trixter, they make a strong handle control, and disapate heat, and my with big gloves on easy to hold. This was first day i was real picky. seperated only good stuff. I could tell big time how fluid and clean lead was. I fluxed with hardwood. I have quit fluxing lee pot.

You live off the 5?

I would never hold a ladle with a C clamp. It seems like an accident waiting to happen.

Those C-clamps scare me, too.

Melted lead burns go deep and take a long time to heal -- I know.
