Ed Steinkirchner Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 i really needed a lead ladle to consolidate all of my lead scrap, so i made this in a little over an hour so it is fairly rough, but i needed to cast some pewter and a soup can wasn't handy nor would it have been a permanent solution to the problem. the burns on the handle were from when i lent it to the school art class for pewter casting(not always recommended), and a few were my fault But anyway, the bowl it riveted in 2 places to the handle(rivets are coat hanger), and the wood is jambed on the tang. the shank had the end flattened for the rivets and the handle end pointed and barbed, and jambed in a hole in the handle, which is a piece of old 2X4. There is a staple on the other end of the handle for hanging it on the bench. now I need to make a bigger one! Edward Steinkirchner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobb Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Looks good, Ed. I made one at our shop once when I couldn't find our actual lead ladle. I just took a cast iron hard cap and welded a steel handle on it. It was only meant for one use to get someone by, but it's still around! Please post pics of your next one.

CurlyGeorge Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Way to go, Ed. It is usefu and is another tool that you made yourself. It looks just fine, to me. Thanks for sharing. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
