Home made electric lead pot

Recommended Posts

Anybody ever consider a homemade lead pot? I was thinking about making one, the toughest part I can think of is finding a heating element. Anybody have a source for heating elements? Also I would appreciate someone posting some pics of the bottem pour mechanism for me or send to rolling35@netzero.com. I was thinking of making the pot out of 316 stainless steel on my lathe then everything else would just be scrounging parts.

Go ahead and post here or send me an email. I poked around a little and found that Lee sells the heaters for $9 and I am going to check with RCBS(they probably dont sell them), I think I found some rheostats, so slowly but shurly. I am thinking about an avaition ss ball valve for the bottem pour, I was not able to find any pics of the lee bottem pour mechanism on net. I am now thinking about making two bottem pour locations one with a very small output and one that is large. I want to pour a bunch of ice jigs as well as normal stuff.
