so glad you took the proper precautions with lead, i don't want to see you suffer from heavy metal poisoning
Thank you I am always as careful as I can be but with lead I feel was extra careful as I no it can be unpleasant 👍
Ive never melted lead. I only melt aluminum brass and copper. Good job 👍
Thank you
@@meltingipswich right on bro!
Great melt and pour. The bars look awesome. Nice addition to the stack 👍
Thank you 😊
Lead is fun to melt. Such a low melt temp. Great looking ingots there. Definitely easy to add quick weight to the stack. Speaking of the stack, it looks really good. Great video 👍
Thank you I plan on starting fresh as of the new year. And yeah lead is really easy to work with and very mesmerising when pouring
Awesome lead bar's thanks for sharing
Nice well done.
Pouring Lead is like pouring a liquid mirror, it looks great. I myself use an IR thermometer to make sure the Lead doesn't get to hot.
Fumes start to form at about 480C so I try to keep the temperature between 400 - 450C. When a yellow-ish dust layer starts to form you know it is getting to hot.
Nice ingots! Stay safe 👍👊
Thank you I haven’t got an IR thermometer but it is on my list of things to get and yes it was lovely to pour and even watching it back it’s quite mesmerising. Thank you for watching 👍
Hi bud, great work on the video. It looks like a church is going to need a new roof flashing 😅😅
Nice to see you lead the way.
🤣
Lead is so nasty. I started melting with it. I can't stand the stuff. Keep em coming though always fun to watch
Yeah I try not to work with it to much but it was given to me and I can’t turn down free material to work with. Thanks for watching 👍
I started casting with lead when I was 7 with my father. Love lead and how it looks.
Watching you heat the lead past the melting point reminded me why you should not overheat the lead.
Tell Tails of overheated lead is when it Blues while pouring. Just getting too hot.
Lead is a fabulous material to work with, Great for casting all sorts of ingots, bullets, fishing weights, or trinkets.
Please get an IR temp gun SOON, lead can be unforgiving if you don't pay attention to temp.
Good video, Stay Safe!!!
Thank you 😊
Nice 👍🏼
Some good stuff
Thank you
if you toss in a wax candle before skimming the dross it helps clean the lead better
Really. Do that work
I was actually expecting more dross than that
@@meltingipswich yes it burns off any inpurity left in the lead
what were those ribbed sheets in their previous life?
I’m not to sure these where given to me by a friend but I think they might of come off of a roof
Lead roof?
I hope you were wearing a mask for this one. Super dangerous.
Always
