you could build a foundry...they have extremely hot ones that run off used motor/vegetable oil.

that is if you have some land to work around.

oh and you should check out auctions of industrial shit for lead ingots. they're most commonly used as forklift weights.

I put 500 pounds of weights into one of my tenants yacht's to balance it out and he had paid pretty much 1 dollar per pound for the lead ingots from a forklift supply place.

Lead is uber cheap. I paid $40 for 200+ Lbs of used wheel weights. that works out to 20 cents per pound for the lead. That will do me good for a long, long time heh.

Hell, the 165lbs of lead I have, if made into 3oz bank sinkers would comes out to 880 sinkers or $484 at 55 cents each, I have seen them sold at Bass Pro Shops for $3.99 for a 3 pack! $1170 worth of sinkers in 165lbs or $33 worth of lead lol!

I have the mold for those, what size are you needing? I will need to purchase the swivel insert for them.

How many are you needing?

Cool, I can defiantly get those to you, I will have to order the swivels for them. I will be able to ship them in a flat rate box as well so shipping will be cheap. Let me figure out the costs and get back to you, I had no even figured out all my costs on anything but a couple lures so far lol.
