Just took delivery of this beauty:



Don't wanna sound like a broken record but these moulds are a dream to use, pinned together perfectly and the loop holes are spot on for standard loops.

These attributes speed up the whole process of lead making, I'll do a time in motion study tomorrow night and post the results :D

Cheers Norman & Tony :)
 
Not rocket science Mark, stick ya loops in, clamp it together and pour some molten lead in :).

Not going to mention your place of birth but there's some savings to be made :D:D

Haha, if you knew me Keith you would know how totally outwith my "skill set" that would be! :red:

I'd just display it as a "conversation piece!"

I think we're still around the 12oz in general graham in fact I like the 10oz and will be giving it a go a lot this s a season, but just for a customer I made a 14 and it looks the biz, no engraving just sleek. I suppose he fishes in harsh current or deep water.

Lol I got a 16oz on machine now :) again, not for us but hey on fast drift days just maybe

just get one and put it on the mantle piece as a ornament
or
take the ducks off the wall and put a set of moulds up

He would love to have it on his mantle piece Paul, so much cooler than any ornaments he currently has!

Just gave the new mould a whirl, switched the gas ring and blow torch on at 10.35am and had 20 quality leads by 11.0am :thumbup:
