Guys, take a deep breathe, [bad pun]. I ran a lead type foundry for 15 years, in a small 1,000 foot warehouse. My casters ran 8 hours a day but not every day and I got my blood checked every year for lead levels. There was never any itty bit of lead in my system. My lead was kept at a constant 700 degrees when casting. Here is the thing: do not BOIL lead, that will certainly ruin your health. And be very careful with the oxides [the whitish powdery stuff] which can be left behind when smelting lead. For this you should wear gloves and a mask when cleaning up the slag and leftovers. Don't eat after you have handled lead: wash your hands well first. Use common sense.

I wish I'd seen this video a few years ago. I've been melting and reclaiming lead from wheel weights and a local range for years and I'd like to give this gentleman a bit of advise. 1) Skip the washing. Anything you can wash off is going to float on your lead as it melts and there is no danger of getting water in your molten lead when you add to your initial melt. Getting water in your molten lead will ruin your day. 2) Skip the cast iron frying pan and use a stainless steel 2 quart or larger sauce pan. Stainless steel doesn't give you all that crud that seems to form when you do your melt in cast iron. It's easier to remove your molten lead and you haven't ruined an otherwise good frying pan. I got mine for a couple bucks at a garage sale. 3) Turn your heat down once your lead melts. When the lead in your pot starts to change color and form a scum on top, you're way hotter that necessary and you can do it without fluxing and removing said scum. A thermometer would be a good idea to use. 4) Although I too have made an ingot mold from angle iron, I now use another garage sale find in the form of a muffin pan. They make nice sized ingots and release easily from the pan.

Also most of the dross you collected after the initial coarse crud was out was freshly formed lead oxide. Each time you stir up that lead you give the oxygen of the air a nice chance to get in contact with metal. Same for when you "fluxed" with paraffin: you just let more lead oxide form. As soon as you see a shiny metallic surface you are good to pour.

Exactly what I was thinking

A friend and I were shooting at an established club that had a sand bank as the bullet stop. We noticed that the sand was displaced in those positions where targets had been placed. In the 30 years of it's existence no one had ever bothered to recover the lead. We dug for a couple of hours, sieved with a garden sieve and recovered many kilos of projectiles. My friend was an engineer and also enjoyed raku firing clay pots. He had already constructed a rockwool lined kiln in a 12 gallon drum, put a 2 inch air pipe energised by a throttled down vacuum cleaner output air blast.. and a 1/4 inch copper pipe near the middle of the air pipe fed by a 20lb LP cylinder with no regulator. In the hole in the top of the drum he welded up and placed a section of 2x4 steel RHS with the bottom welded shut... with two large steel pipes as handles also welded onto the RHS at the "top" end that stuck out above the drum about a foot. He made ingot molds out of the same right angle steel as this vid shows...just 24 inches long x 4 moulds... also with handles welded on both ends. Those ingot molds fit a a steel tubbed wheelbarrow filled with 30 litres of water.... The great advantage was 5 minutes in this kiln with the jet aircaft cound of the intense flame had the lead melting and the dross and projectile jackets floating to the top. We did no real purification as we intended to sell the lead......there was just so much of it and scrap lead prices were good. So after scraping off most of the rubbish we lifted the whole RHS out between us, rested the end on the concrete exterior pad where we were doing this and tipped the lead into the moulds... Then after a few minutes picked up then lowered the ingot molds into the wheelbarrow of water..... where it rapidly cooled enough to allow us to pick up the ingot moulds and flip them allowing the ingots to fall out and continue cooling in the water. After the second go around we had to immerse the bottom half of the LP bottle in a basin containing some of the heated water from the wheelbarrow as the rapid use of the LP pouring out caused ice to form on the outside of the bottle degrading the volume of expanding LP vapour and affecting the flame in the kiln. When we took the proceeds in to the scrap merchant he gave us top price for the cleaned lead which funded other shooting activities. We stopped doing this when his wife said it might not be too healthy if we continued....she might have been right... but we had also taken all the easily recovered projectiles and now it would be hard work recovering shotgun pellets. Speaking of which when a shotgun (clay shooting) range closed down they imported a machine to sieve the soil on the range... and recovered 190 tonnes of lead pellets.. just about broke even with the cost of importing the machine but it was part of the deal with the local council to allow the land to be sold.

You won't believe this, I watch this video and the second part reloading video before I go to the bed. I don't have any guns, but I love anything related to guns, and bullets. Very good video and excellent demonstration, I have learned how to before and after reloading stages.

all you need is a brake drum from a semi trailer, some steel pipe, and a way to force air into the fire. weld some of the bent pipe to the bottom of the brake drum, add some sort of grate to keep your coals from falling through, and attach the pipe to some sort of blower. fill the brake drum with charcoal, fire it up, and turn on your blower and you'll have a fire hot enough to melt lead and aluminum at the least. with a little fine tuning you can get it hot enough to melt gold, silver, and copper.

Thank you for the very kind words and support that you give my channel.. The process that I do now is much different than what I've showed in this video. The biggest change now is I don't wash the lead at all I just melt it down!

Its 2020, the weirdest year of my life, i still don't know why youtube showed me this at 2 am.

I googled the. melting point of copper, nearly 1800F I could see saving them if you had a furnace that could achieve that temp consistently. I was impressed with your strong adherence to safety. I am a believer in safety as well. I am a retired driver with 4 million miles accident free. The balance between being productive and being safe become second nature, if you survive the lessons, lol

Me: oh... lead smelting. Reality: Today we are going to make bullet lead soup with freshly strained jackets on a grill.

I was assigned a video to watch for gunsmithing class about casting and this video was in the related section. 1 hour later..... I still haven't watched the assigned video and I'm now recommending this video to my class.

Never throw away copper, always bring it to a scrap yard for money. Been saving copper and aluminum since I was a kid, and now my son does it with me. Great video, very informative 🙂

this is super relaxing, i don't even shoot and watched the whole video!

6 year later, some 1.2 million + views later, your educational video is still doing its job. If youtube doesn't get stupid, people will still be learning from you, long after your gone. Hope that 1.5 & 2 million views comes quickly. the video is well worth it. The difference in metal & smelting handling has changed so much for safety by general layman in just 6 years is smazing

OK, I have to comment cause everbody else did. Loved this. I shoot frequently and reload but the closest I ever got to melting lead was as a kid drilling a 2x4 full of 3/4" by 3/4" holes and melting tire weights, pouring it into the holes as I insert a paper clip in each one, then hose them down with the water hose before the whole board ignites. They made great trot line weights growing up on the brazos river. Ate lots of catfish. Thanks for the lead lessons. //ji

Very cool how the brass melts away at a higher temp than the led. This video was what kept me up past a normal hour of going to bed.

Enjoyable presentation: I'd watched it several years ago and just rediscovered it. I like the narration. It sounds like he took elocution lessons from Bob Ross.

Really thorough video. I, personally, do not wash the scrap this way. The dirt, rocks, empty jackets, etc. float to the top to be skimmed off. I DO go through and check for those that need cut and MORE IMPORTANTLY ensure there are no live rounds mixed in. No idea why, but I have found a few live .22 LR and a live 9mm round in the impact area of the 50 yard range. Sure wouldn't want that splattering hot lead all over!

I buy lead stacks ( used as vent pipes on homes) from the salvage yard. Cost is $1.00 per pound. Melt it down, and pour into wood molds I've routed out of 2x6. The molds are shaped like jay hooks which I use for my duck decoy weights. Very cheap and 15 lbs of lead makes many of those lead weights. Alot cheaper than buying them at the store.

You've given me the bug. Haven't done it in a couple years. Muffin pans are the best ingots for me. Fantastic job and thanks for the video.

Hey, Just wanted to say that I did a similar vid but vhs back in 1987 for my boyscout group. Back then we used bees wax to remove what we called skim. and went bass fishing with the lead we then poured into molds for jig heads. We did the same except we collected tire weights back then. It was nice to see a similar method and a bit weird at the same time hearing a voice that sounds like mine. I know I didn't do this video but that was good and strange at the same time. Hey no biggie just glad to see some old school recycle done right :)Just so everyone knows that is not me. Have a great day :) PS: My name is Jamie an i'm from Virginia :)

I keep bees and so have a lot of bee's wax. I'm wondering if bee's wax is less flammable than the petroleum candle wax because bee's wax has a higher melting point than petroleum candles. I have lead that I want to melt into ingots because I target shoot with airguns. Thing about lead from airgun pellets is that it can have antimony in it which makes the lead harder and I wonder how that will affect this whole lead reclamation process.

as long as you didn't freeze or microwave this, I think Gordon Ramsay would approve of this!

Video from 2012. 1080p. Impressive. Also bullet recycling is excellent. Both for cost and environment cause lead can seep into the dirt slowly.

My father was a major in the air force who was in charge of the rifle range. He new in advance that some day he would build a sailboat and would need lead for the keel. So he had the enlisted men dig out all the bullets for this project. When finally started that boat he melted those bullets and poured the lead into a cast iron corn muffin mold laid each casting into the keel.

Nothing silly about taking pride in using your own tooling! There is a satisfaction to adding your own "signature" to a creative process and not relying on a storebought method. That mental reward is what drove humans to the top of the food chain!

This is the third time ive been brought here by the algorithm, and the third time ive watched it all the way trough, quite the soothing experience every time.

I have to say that while I enjoy firearms as a hobby, I personally don’t see myself repurposing lead, or even pressing my own ammo any time soon. However, you present your information in a very digestible and enjoyable way, and I couldn’t help but watch the whole thing. Excellent video!

Nothin' like a skillet-full of lead and copper to start the morning right! I can feel my tummy rumbling now!

Nope, you're not silly. I. A retired carpenter now I do woodworking as a hobby and I love pointing out buildings I worked on and now using things I've made.

Just want to say thanks for taking the time to put this video together. It's helpful and what I like about it is it's a "blue collar" home grown way of doing things. I used to make lead sinkers for my off shore fishing quite a bit, not to mention crabpot weights, etc. I've been reloading for a long, long time and though I've reused recovered brass and bullets I'm always looking for different ways of recovering the lead from the range bullets. Thanks for your input... eight years earlier. It's still a viable alternative. Good job.
