Once you get the hang of casting and it becomes second nature,the easier it gets. Like a big ole rock rolling down hill..... might take a little,may take a lot,to get it started but.... holy moly,look at it picking up speed,haha.
I am kinda chomping at the bit at this stage. Got a few things and getting ready to run, when I probably should be walking.
I now have an electric pot.Some scrap and ingot of various hardness, a 38 special wad-cutter mold. Just trying to find me a small dedicated sturdy table, or work stand. Looking to get a sizer system of some kind, a thermometer, and a .30 caliber mold. Also a hardness tester, for the house.
I can not keep bringing my scrap lead into work to melt. And never would be "allowed" to be casting bullets there. They turn their back on a little, but making a habit could definitely cause me problems.
Casting and alloying is as much an art as it is a science. I hope to learn this art.
It is nice to know I have a few good people to help guide me out of the swamp, and point me in the right direction, when get lost.
