Hi,can I purchase one of those anywhere?
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
please use a bossing stick
Used a stick for years mate,still working the lead with a mallet and is quicker
Thanks for the comment though mate if you want to check out my fb page you will see I am capable of bossing spa leadwork
Use a bossing stick its easier
Cheers for the suggestion pal
@@shaunatkinson694 love that corner tool though, I'll be making one for sure.
Cast lead looks crap
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
Milled is better but as you said what comes off must go back on
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.
