Lead bossing with a corner bossing tool

I’ve been asked about this tool I had made up and how to use it, on this video we are making a internal corner for a lead roll this is in more detail to show how we start the internal corner.
I hope this explains in detail how to set out and boss the corner

All my “dressing” tools were made of boxwood but I cut them up to make the bases of stick floats in the 60ts

[@shaunatkinson694]

@@shaunatkinson694 love that corner tool though, I'll be making one for sure.

[@daveprice1829]

Hi,can I purchase one of those anywhere?

[@shaunatkinson694]

Hi,
I had it made for me, I’m not sure anyone makes them it’s just a broom handle and a corner piece of wood about 4” high

Cast lead looks crap

[@shaunatkinson694]

It’s on a listed building mate so what comes off goes back on and once it’s patinated it looks nice in my opinion

[@thedarkhugheshughes2640]

Milled is better but as you said what comes off must go back on

[@dominic197733]

That doesn’t even look like cast lead to me. I’ve been doing it years. Where’s the leopard spots? Looks like milled.

Milled lead isn’t as good as sandcast lead. I have to disagree.

[@davidcartlich6491]

please use a bossing stick

[@shaunatkinson694]

Used a stick for years mate,still working the lead with a mallet and is quicker

[@shaunatkinson694]
