about cheap mould

#1 Post by Alain »

Hoping my contibution and language comprehensible for all !
This is a cheap system to make round flat lead like watch .
Put plastic top (from bottle ,can ,different size make different weight ,)
in full sand box .Push the top in the sand ,put a fastening (make yourself
with wire ),that you hold with a screedriver when you pour the lead .
I use a small ladle with jug .If you have large top ,put a peace of iron
pipe in the middle.Find the right temp ,not too hot and good luck .
Thank for the tremendous site !!

Hi Alain

Thanks for the tip about the mould but are you saying pour lead into the plastic or just use the plastic to make the shape??

I think you need to make sure the sand is dry or else it can be very dangerous- wearing eye protection is a must!!
