I think he has a supply of lead-tin alloy and an interest in utilizing
it. If all he really needed was lead weight for plants, I'd send him
some. I buy it in 10 lb spools and give it away at work. Making your
own sounds like much more fun ;~)

If you want thin flat strips then pour the lead onto a marble surface,
as
it's cooling run a roller over it, once set then use a guillotine to
cut it.

Otherwise you use aluminium. Making sinkers for fishing is done with
aluminium molds.

I have a lead melter/burner device that melts about a US pound of
lead at
a
time. I'd like to find out how to make a mold to shape it in.

My current ideas are, using 1"x1" wood, and fastening it to make a
series
of
steps, X's or triangular shaped ridges /\/\/\/\/\ in some fashion,
cap on
both ends, and pour the lead into the valleys, and cool, extract, lay
on
sheet of "_____________" to resist sticking, and heat in oven till a
temp
that allows the metal to be mallable. Use rolling pin to flatten,
and
orient them to the same size, cut off the ends, and shape as
needed...

As you can see, I've got the idea worked out but need the blank
filled
in..
Also, if you can help make the mold, or improve upon it, I'll make
some
strips for you too... btw, I've got 40lbs of lead...
