Wow, This pic thing kicked my butt! I still don't know how to put comments between the pics. The burner is a homemade job, and can put some serious frost on the bottle! The pot was a valve cover from a high pressure railroad tank car, the ladle was from a print shop (where I also scored a lot of type), and the ingot molds were a gun show score from a few years ago. A couple of dollars each. One of the Lyman molds has a backwards letter.
I still have about 500# of phone company lead and probably 700# of wheel weights to smelt, when the weather and my call-out schedule will allow. Will post some more pics then. Lightman
