Hi Jamie,
I noticed you cast some lead bricks? I recently aquired my grandfather's
crucible and ladle and want to try to create some 2x4x1 lead bricks... If I
understand your post correctly, you have created custon leads molds ? Could you
tell me a little bit about the process and the types of materials you have used
to make the molds with? I am aware of some of the potential dangers in lead
casting but any extra insights you could share would be greatly appreciated.
What I hope to create is 2x4 standard size leads bricks so the weights can be
changed to suit the application in the models.
Thanks!
John
