Drop Weights

I used a small 5 litre diving tank as a breathing kit so I wouldn't poison myself.  After a while, the lead started to get cold on the top.  I almost gave up but in desperation, I added the blowtorch to the side of the pan and it just got me enough heat.  Once I had a full pan, I used an old kitchen sieve to scoop off most of the impurities on the surface.  It was like pure dry soil.  I also preheated the mould a bit with the blowtorch.  In the bottom (blurred) picture, I have a complete pan of molten lead ready to pour.
