Melting and Processing Scrap Lead and Making 265 lbs of Ingots
Full.Lead.Taco
In one of my previous videos, I showed my latest scrap lead haul. In the video below, I show the setup I use to melt down dirty scrap lead (dental x-ray foils & stained glass window scrap), clean it, flux it, and pour it into ingots. I ended up not finishing all my lead, but got 265 lbs of it finished. I included an equipment list below. Got questions? Feel free to comment!
Equipment:
-Dutch oven (Harbor Freight 12″) $25-30
-Stainless steel ladle and serving spoon for skimming (Rite Aid) $5
-Harbor Freight weed burning torch $16-20
-Cinderblocks not sure on cost–already had a bunch at my house
-Fancy NOE 1lb, 2lb, & 4 ingot molds $37 ( http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/index.ph… )

I love guns, tacos, and lead. I use the guns. The guns eat lead. And I eat tacos.
The videos on this channel focus on the first two items–using guns and making the ammo that gets used in them. If there is a video project you want me to do, feel free to let me know in the discussion, comments, or by email. If you like my videos and want to support my channel, please visit:
