    The guy selling those should send you a percentage. You probably boosted his sales by 3 or 400%.
    A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.

    I bought one. I have this weird slug mold that is in three pieces and you need to be very precise when filling it. I might also use it for my other molds...

    hahaaa . . . not likely. Conditor22 sent me a link where already Amazon has increased the price by $5, can you believe it?

    I hope some of you that bought the lab jacks will post pictures of how you adapted them to your particular pot?

    OS OK, while your mold is sitting there, the aluminum jack stand is sucking the heat out of it. You might want to consider putting an insulating mat on it to slow the heat loss. Soldering blocks for jewelry makers come in a bunch of materials and prices. https://www.riogrande.com/category/t...ategoryfilter=[Tools%20%26%20Equipment,Soldering%20%26%20Welding, Soldering%20Accessories]

    It's been a lot of years since I bought anything from them, but I do spend some time drooling over their selection of tools now and then...

    OS Ok,

    I would not mind the $5 increase if they gave most of it to you! Good catch on the adjustable jack!

    I don't think there is enough mass in that thin top to really pull the heat out in any appreciable amount. If anything it might let you pick up pace by a fraction of a second.

    What I thought was good is that as you push the mould into place under the valve...any drips & spills just push ahead of the mould and off the back of the platform.

    Naw...I don't want anything from them merchants but what I order and shipped in a timely fashion.

    What I marvel at is how our Community see's products or parts-n-pieces made for other applications and we adapt it to our handloading/casting hobby.
    We have some one track minds here boys!

    That sounds interesting. I have both a 10 lb and a 20 lb Lee bottom pour. I have been using a piece of lumber for a mould guide for the smaller one. It's pretty iffy but it has worked so far. I would like to do something better. The adjustable jack looks nice but I would like to fasten whatever I use down. Don't know how to do that with the jack any more than the wooden brace. I would like a little more information about your steel channel - how you designed it, whether it is fastened to the pot base, etc. Can you help a fella?

    I'd think a couple short sections of self adhesive hook and loop (Velcro) would work for both your block of wood or the jack. All that's needed is to keep it from sliding around imo.

    its just a piece of channel as long as the pot base is wide with a flat pieces steel at each end as legs .my pot is also stood on an old baking tray so the odd splash stays in the tray not all over my bench.

    A 4X4 electrical box works great for me.

    Thanks for posting that! One of my casting buddies uses a 10# Lee pot without a guide. I just sent that link to him.

    I should have known the ridged surface on the jack would not provide enough flat surface for the Velcro adhesive to bond to. So I cut a scrap piece of 1/8" aluminum plate to 4"X4" and attached it to the jack with a few dabs of fast set epoxy. The Velcro securely holds the jack in place while allowing quick removal.

    to OS OK, you are a GENIUS!! thanks........

    Thanks oley...but I am far from a genius! I do think outside the box though.

    I think your Velcro idea is genius!
