i use a homemade smelter. it burns wood, so i can kill to birds with one stone. i get rid of my cut up wood and melt my lead at the same time.
i also use wheel wights to make my sinkers. i work for a tire shop, mainly large trucks. so i get some big wights. i have about 55gls of lead in the shop. i just don't think i will use it all so i will be trading it or selling it to people. |

i usually use bailing wire for the wire loop, wire last longer than the sinker does LOL or use a finsh nail with wax on it for the egg sinkers, slips right out after cooling
