Childish but some what effective

[Brokenbear]

we'd love to see video of you in action with your stand...

Literally just out of hospital from unexpected kidney stone surgery ...no videos for awhile ...I have had 3 short sessions (now have about 50+ total ball/bullet) and it went smoothly where doing one cycle every 30 seconds is about right until I add lead which has a fair amount of dross (using strip lead from old duck decoy weights ..the dross removal knocks the speed in the head)

But it works just fine for me ..and the easy start/stoping of the process is great ..I used to take short work breaks and light a cigar but have quit the cigars ..being sick with the kidney stone for quite sometime and hurting like a big dog sure took my attention off wanting a cigar but I can't say I would recommend the process to a friend!

But you can be casting bullets in 60 seconds

Great weekend to all

Bear , I know what you're going through, stones no fun , passed enough stones to do a drive way well maybe
a foot path. Passed , blasted and surgery. I had to quit cigars 10 years ago, not a day goes by when I want one.
When I got off of work I'd sit on the deck have a beer and one last cigar , and think about what I done at work that day, did I return e-mails , submit my reports, release rejected parts. The wife don't mind the beer but cigars was
always a case for a butt reaming. Take care of your self and don;t rush it it will get better.

plugging in an Lee electric furnace might be a tad safer, and wont burn the carpet.

I love when it is painfully obvious people didn't read the thread, just jumped in with their immediate critical observations.

Good idea here @Brokenbear
Your description of the device, on a board on the floor, outside under a roof,while you sit in a chair, sounds awkward. But, it works for you. Seems like your device could also be clamped or screwed to a wooden work table, or other suitable working surface.
Good job adapting for your needs

I'd knock it over on the vinyl flooring in the kitchen and melt a nice hole. That's the way I operate.

I cast many bullets using a metal lid from the really old lysol spray cans. Bent a spount into it and heated it on mom's gas stove when she was not home.
