Casting Lead Ingots

I gather a load of old bits of scrap lead (not from church roofs I promise) and use some small bread-tins to cast some quite large and heavy ingots.
They are also called Bars, like Gold Bars. But this isn't gold unfortunately, I'm not in that financial league.

Am besten erst in einem anderen Gefäß (Edelstahl) einschmelzen, dort verbleiben beim Gießen die meisten Rückstende, danach in die endgültige Form gießen auch (V2a ) Sie können mit Kerzen 🕯️ Wax fluxen (Flußmittel)
schmelze so immer mein gesammeltes Lot von der Arbeit....

That’s ace. I used to make lead weights for fishing by melting lead from ingots on the fire in a big heavy iron ladle as a kid, with my Dad. Was fun. He made the steel moulds himself.

That's really cool! At least fishing weights are useful, I've just got these big heavy ingots now and not sure what to do with them. Perhaps if I try to re-mold them into thin sheets I'll have a good waterproof roof for a rabbit hutch?

@@TheAmazingAdventuresOfMiles lol. Fishing weights no use to me anymore - no point in fishing anymore if I'm not going to eat them.
There are all sorts of things you could re-mould them into.
Maybe a little guitar. A drum kit?
You could have a little heavy metal band.

Nunca lo hagan así , saldrán perforaciones la mejor manera es calentar los moldes y rápidamente verter la colada en el molde pero muy rápidamente ya que si no se hace así saldrán defectuoso
