NO EXPENSIVE FURNACE can compare with a LEE 4-20 'dripolater'

Fantastic! Futuristic! Sci-fi! Ancient (looking).

I have made a bunch of these "stalagmites" with my "splash-tastic" Drip-o-matic, maybe not as definingly unique as yours, observed their potential as ART that SATISFIES ME, and still put all of mine back into the pot (I lamented a few). Thanks for bringing this to the community's attention (and poking us in the collective eye). You have brought attention to an "artform" with the potential for it to go viral and make a dollar...

Your pot is definitely UNIQUE (my last):

As the drip mound starts building you can move it 1/4" one way or the other or turn it on it's axis to start a different layer...
it gives me something to fiddle with as I wait before breaking sprue.

I have two lee pots, 10 & 20#. Neither leaks. I never empty them nor melt scrap in them.

nice.....

When these go back into the pot I pretend that they are the Terminator.

No yuppies/hippies/greenies would even touch them once they figured out, they are made of LEAD! They might even call one of the alphabet agencies on you!??

My pot made a few, till I put a screw in the bottom. I thought they were neat, till I realized they were costing me lead.

I throw mine back in the pot before they get very big.

I read lots of reviews about bottom pour pots leaking. So I opted for standard lee 20lb furnace and use a RCBS ladle/dipper. So far I really like it.
My OCD would get the best of me if I had a pot that dripped/leaked.

Are you throwing your lead drips away? They remelt just fine.

[MSUICEMAN]

like an ink-blot test!

Yes they go back in the pot!

They were costing me lead because they looked neat sitting on the self. They look even better sitting atop a piece of brass sitting in the chamber, ready to launch down range.

An old girlfriend had a family tradition every winter where they would melt a couple of pounds of lead in a coffee can over a stove and then quickly pour the melt in a bucket of water. The resulting "Lead Art" was displayed on the mantle all year. Each member of the family did their own art. I said that is interesting but did you know that molten lead and water can be a hazard? She was not aware of the Tinsel Fairy, nor was any one in her family. I warned her to ALWAYS introduce the lead to the water and not the other way around! I don't think that she got it though.

That is an old German tradition. The resulting shapes are supposed to give clues about the upcoming year. Kind of like reading tea leaves or tarot cards.
