I use old spark plugs for rough ground fishing most garges give them free a lot cheaper then lead .

Good job but Just an advice Always wear a Mask FFA2P3 when you melt lead and wear Also protective glasses gloves and a protection suit that Is useful to protect you from lead particles.

Drop a pea sized particle of wax into your melt pot on top of the molten lead to flux the impurities out..

Hiya smash
I watched your lead weight making im wanting to make weights out of 22mm and 28mm copper pipe the 28mm ones I want to make for boat fishing would this work as I use 9oz and 10 oz on boat here in UK as its all sand plus charter boat fishing,

looks like a similar set of methods to what I use..

If you use a wheeled pipe cutter you won’t need to file the ends.

Just wondering, did you weigh the copper ‘throwaway’ leads?

[stuart]

I use engineering bricks with the holes in on sand. Just sit the brick on top of the wire grippers, push to seal, put the wire eyes in and pour the lead.

Just use concrete it’s a lot cheaper then lead and safer for waters.

good lead making advice there!
if you cut a similar groove to the copper pipe in the wood then the lead wouldnt leak as much ?
where do you normally get your lead from ? my local scrapyard doesnt sell anymore!

I did stuff like that as child. I suspect I’ve have lead exposure now.

Sit it in sand instead of a piece of wood no leaks from bottom 👍

Pour water in the hot lead it cleans it
