As title says, looking for a pot to do my own leads

Have all the lead and the moulds, need a pot.

I’m in Hardy but have people travelling up all the time

Looking for a metal pot to melt with a torch or the electric oven type? Checked Ebay for either? They're pretty cheap new.

Copy that, thanks.

Will be using a torch for melting.

Looking for a buddy so thought I would start here.

If no one here has something you could check Restore or Sally Ann type places for a cast iron pot or Dutch Oven.

Sounds good, he’s has done the cast iron before, he’s trying to put the right equipment together

Thanks

Ive got an aluminium pot I made years ago with a large handle and pour spout I welded up.
Used to heat on a outdoor crab burner or tiger torch, worked pretty good but once you had over 50lbs in it she was hard on the back for pouring.
Your welcome to it but I'm on the mainland.....

I had a friend weld a square piece to the bottom of a steel pipe and add a couple of handles. It sits well on the crab pot heater, just place another piece of steel on top to keep the heat in when melting.

I also bought a Lee 4-20 bottom pour pot for doing my smaller jigs. Easy to use and fairly inexpensive at $120 https://www.amazon.ca/Lee-Precision-Production-Pot-Grey/dp/B000NOORXY

Good luck and ventilate well!
