Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting Smelting (melting) Pics

It's not much of a setup, but it works.

Butane stove, cheap stainless stock pot and a muffin tin for an ingot mold. The dykes/side cutters are for checking for non-lead WWs. The ladle is a simple stainless kitchen ladle and the blower is from an old powervented water heater. I have a pretty steady supply of these blowers, so if anyone would like one, jist let me know.



The dykes are a good way to identity steel and non-lead WWs, but there are other signs, such as the rivets visible in this pic.



About 40 pounds or so of "muffins".



Not too bad for an hour or two worth of time spent.
