This involves the concept of Surface Tension... In order to form lead shots, the melted lead is allowed to fall in water by spraying it from some height. During the fall, the melted lead, due to surface tension, acquires spherical shape and on entering water it solidifies...
I think if I remember correctly, if dripping lead falls from a Good enough Hight no ramp is needed, I think I seen that in an old documentary " How do they make that" not 100% on that though and it was a Good height too. Loved the music, it took me back almost thirty years 😆
Good question Yanick. Its all about a coolants latent heat properties, let me explain water will cool too quickly and adversely if you were to use motor oil it would cool too slowly both resulting in deformed shot. Fabric conditioner or even cutting oil solution both work well. Diesel has been used in the past but this can prove dangerous and cleaning the shot after wards is an absolute nightmare. many thanks for your question
Good Night, I'm from the Brazilian Army, I'm an infantry sergeant and I practice quick action shooting, I really enjoyed your video, congratulations and thank you for taking the time to show the details of lead drip. Your video was very satisfactory, I got many doubts that I did not succeed in other posts, once again, congratulations. Only a question remains, what material or preparation exists on the surface where the lead falls and rolls and then cools? Thank you very much in advance.
Colega, também sou BR e em outro vídeo utilizando a mesma máquina a pessoa usou giz branco e funcionou. Fiquei pensando também se pasta de solda não seria uma boa.
What to you use on the ramp so the drops do not stick to its surface? I tried copper grease but it is gone after a few seconds and the drops tend to stick a little bit to the ramp and not form a well round shape.
Copper ease is an excellent lubricant for the ramp and I highly recommend it, make sure you bake on a good coat before you start, it lasts for ages many thanks
@@ranjanranjan-hv5wx Many thanks. #9 is 15 thou and #4 would probably be around 44 thousands although I only make maximum #5 s which is 36 thou. Ramp angle is around 12 degrees off ladle bottom surface

Hello; I have a question in this area and I hope you help me to obtain a positive and applicable outcome. In order to supply the existing coolant fluid (blue solution), i need information about the composition ratio of water or anything used in this composition in a cubic meter of volume. Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you very much for your guide.
what material did you use to make those nozzles. You could show us the plane. I made them mine in steel and they do not work very well because they cover up a lot.

Correct
That's why I am here😅

Your correct lead shot was typically made by dropping over 100 feet in purpose built shot towers.
Cheers Woodsman243 at least I know now my memory is still working somewhat : )
@@welcometothedarkside4237 I wonder who figured it out, how to do it; apparently they don't know. 👍
Thank you for this video. It helps a good deal.
Thank you for providing interest
I wonder how hot the molten lead is, how hot the water is, and what blue substance the lead falls into
the lead typically is 650-700 degrees fahrenheit and the blue liquid is most likely laundry fabric softener.
That’s amazing
Many thanks Darren
how long is the ramp that the shot is rolling on 2 inch ?
Hi woodsman, is it possible to give me a close up on the dripper? I need to build some but I am not sure about how they look exactly.
Pleas show us how to make this tool in detail regards 😊
What is the thing that is going round sir please reply me
Hi.
What is the reason why you use fabric softner? Any properties that somehow help the leadshot getting its spherical shape?

I want to make too. What's on the water?
Fabric conditioner
great
Thanks again Joe
What cooler did you use? Pure water?
CHEAP Fabric conditioner
Woodsman...did you make this from plans? If not do you have/sell the plans?
What is the liquid material that shot is cooled in
Fabric Conditioner

Sorry ... What do you mean by fabric conditioner
@@mohammedalzubaidy5337 Soap that you put in the washing machine to wash your clothes and condition them

Use the cheapest fabric conditioner you can get and dilute it with 5% soft water (rainwater) hope this helps you out
@@woodsman2433 thanks a lot. But m6ay you tell me how much of fabric conditioner & water in the volume?! And the temperature of this solution?

Is that a homemade shot dripper
Correct
Anyone know how to put a slit in these, to use a split shot for fly fishing?
Hot razor
@@bigmoonoutfitters6180 Would love to see a video of that being done.
How do you get your nozzles clogged?
what material did you use to make those nozzles.
You could show us the plane.
I made them mine in steel and they do not work very well because they cover up a lot.
The main reason for clogged drippers is dirty lead make sure you clean it properly
@@woodsman2433 How can I clean it properly?
how do you do it.
and the other is with which mayerial you made your droppers.

I think that if the base vibrated very quickly and short, the balls would be perfect.
I use a vibrating system when making shot #10 and #12 to help the lead flow through the drippers
many thanks
