"....Can we LOL. Nothing beats breakfast with Lyle. Mr. Pete, can you please pass the syrup?

[rustymachineshop]

Mr Pete goes all out for his grandson Jordan thanks for ur video's to bad all family's don't stick together like ur family Mr Pete

I am so impressed with your foundry work. It makes me want to melt some metal, but then I have so many woodworking projects that I'll stick to that. Off to part three!!!

[MattTester]

I recently bought a set of 4LN Vise-grips, very handy little things to have around for the small jobs I do.

[sandrammer]

Project coming right along and looking good. Of course it depends how badly the lead leaks/flows between the two faces but I would take a skim cut on the two faces to insure that leakage won't occur. Looking forward to part three.

Thank you Mr.Pete; you’ve just reminded me to buy my tool for the week!👍😁

Good vid Mr Pete . I have a couple slip sinker molds and the hole for the line is made from a brass pin that goes all the way through the mold . That way you pull the pin before opening the mold leaving the hole in the sinker . Might be easier than holding the sinker and pulling the pin out .

Your grandson will one day spend his day showing his grandson how to use this mold to make lead weights and tell him about the great man who made it. The wood project was a smart and efficient way for a quick fix but this mold will last forever! Great video mr. Pete

Always a pleasure seeing how you build from scratch to finish Mr Pete, I'm doing something similar with aluminum molds for recycled plastic injection. Don't really care for working with plastic but so much is made with it these days. Good video sir.

Mr. Pete, I Believe that the really small vice grips are made to crimp the electrical connectors on large terminal connectors

[hitnmiss]

Thank you for showing every step in the process of making this mold. I'm sure everyone will find it very helpful as I have. I'm not very knowledgeable with CAD programs so probably can't draw something like this successfully.

[PaulSteMarie]

Nice build. I'm surprised you didn't go with over/under reamers on your alignment pin holes. I didn't even own any on-size reamers until recently.

[jonburnison]

Your videos make me think I'm back in high school again shop class all the fun times I has

[josephlovell]

All vise grips with the odd shape are designed to give you three points of contact on a hex nut they do work quite nicely on certain sizes if the edges get to rounded they don't work well at all

[slypig]

For discussion purposes only. If you wanted 2 sinkers in one mold. What would be better? Side by side singer molds or one sinker above the other? I'm Instrested in your opinion Lyle.

[SuperDmongo]

8:10 I think they are ment for hex bolt heads and nuts. Well that's what I use them on.

[vincerodriguez]

that small ovise grip- mr pete is for nuts removing nuts and not buggerinbg them up like regular vise grips tend to do--very handy!

[BarnyardEngineering]

I have a couple pairs that are smaller versions of the 12LG Vise Grips. They make great clamps for mounting tires.

Somewhere I have my dad’s decoy anchor molds, his were more or less lead rings/ovals so that when you wound up your anchor strings you just put the ring over the head of the decoy for transporting them.

Yet another enjoyable video. So nice to see you work. One question: any particular reason that you did not face the 2 contacting surfaces? I think I saw a bit of a gap between the 2 halves. I take it you think it unlikely that there would be a bit of lead flashing showing at the seamline.
