    Quick question guys, do either of you that have this shelf system pour anything that takes the wire forms? Such as buzz baits, inline spinners, or skirt baits. The reason I ask, is I pour everything from 1/80 up to a couple of ounces shad lure. Will this shelf allow for enough room for you to you a wire form under it?

    Also, I have two sinkers on my 10# pot, one 6 oz and one 8 oz. I also use to do the same thing with the 8 ounce sinkers as far as storage goes until I got a "Corn Bread" mold. You can see what I am talking about in the picture below.

    Keep your eyes open at garage sales or flea markets and you can find them for around 5 or 10 bucks. Just be sure to get one that is made out of cast iron. Also, be careful with them after use, because they will retain the heat for a little while. I am generally running about 60 lbs of lead anytime that I process lead, so it is not as big of a deal. Also, the ingots weigh about 1 pound 4 ounces when they are poured.

    Good luck,

    Bobo

    Bobo I am new to pouring so my supply of molds is mainly poney heads, a couple jig molds and egg sinkers. Unfortunately I don't pour any anything with a wire.

    That being said, the shelf sped up pouring dramatically. He down spout is always in the middle of the mold and no more eyeballing it using my readers lol. If you can take a pic of your mold and give me some dimensions of the wire in the mold I can let you know if it would work though.

    No more pouring at an angle and burning myself on the support rod too.

    I am still trying to find lead as the local scrap yard never has any.

    Lead is getting hard to find. Someone's always beating me to it. My tire center wants $40 for a 5 gallon bucket of wheel weights. It has trash, scrap metal and zinc mixed in with the good ones. The closest scrap dealer wants 0.30 per pound, about $45 per bucket. Other dealers wants more.
    On a casting facebook group one guy from the northwest said he was told they couldn't sell lead to the public anymore.
