    I'm using a mould that me the old man made about 30 years ago, plaster paris around wood plugs. Just stick a nail, slightly greased in he middle, and away you go.
    Also have a al mould, works ok, but prefer the other.... Memories and all.. In fact hes here this weekend, maybe a sinker making mission is on.

    And anyone that wants to donate some more lead, please pm i wont sell, but will leave a bit of it in shit under water postions.....

    Had 3 x 20l containers worth nicked a few years ago by the feral crackhead at the neighbouring business. Fucked off wasn't even close. I get quite a few dud car batteries through work, any easy way of reclaiming the lead without burning skin/driveway and getting the bomb squad out?
