Ingot Mold

I am looking for a mold (mould) for melting my lead into 1 to 5 pound ingots. PM me if you have any information. Thank you.

For a really cheap mold, go to a second hand store and find an Aluminum camping coffee cup( Shaped like a Tea cup ) ! I pour into them different thicknesses of molten lead and you get a nice stackable ingot About 3 inches in diameter ! I also have an old Cast iron Cornbread stick pan that works Too!
Also you can weld ends on a pice of angle Iron to form a V trough about 8 inches long 1-1/2 Angle Iron and Make triangle shaped Ingots ! I hope this helps !

Any time !!!
If you want Really Big ingots ...Use an old Bread pan ! LOL
Oh, BTW, I use a Cast Iron water kettle for melting and pouring ingots and Cannonballs ! Works great on a coleman camp stove and I can ingot down 40 -50lbs. of wheel weights in an hour!

AP...those 1-5 lb ingot molds may be found at Cabela's...or some similar store in your area. I saw a similar fishing line "sinker" mold there about that size recently.
