    This is exactly what I have in mind to build. I have watched several of your videos on this and the progression of your designs as they go along. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing them with us. At $85+ shipping for a 25 pound bag of shot, this idea of yours is looking better and better all the time.

    @keith0677 5 років тому +3

    You are absolutely brilliant. loved the video. thank you. my question(s) is; where the shot comes out of the ladle, what is it that controls the shot size and what causes the shot to come out as spherical pellets of a specific size? Why isn't the lead pouring out in a stream? is the lead NOT coming out in a stream because of the lower temp of the ladle? I just don't understand why it comes out as round balls?

    • @woodsman2433
      @woodsman2433  5 років тому +11

      Keith that is a brilliant question and i will do my best to answer it for you. Firstly there are tiny holes drilled in the drippers which the molten lead forces its way through ,in actual fact the holes are very approximately a quarter of the size of the finished shot required for example a 20 thousands of and inch hole will produce approximately 2.4mm shot. Now the actual rate at which the lead is pushed out of the drippers depends upon the amount of lead or weight of lead or even pressure of lead behind them if you allow too much lead pressure to develop behind the drippers ie too much molten lead in the Ladle this will make the shot flow out faster and will eventually create a stream of lead instead of a drip. But that is not all if the temperature of the lead is too high it will also run out too fast hence the need for a form of temperature control with the unit. Basically if you turned the water tap on too fast you would get a flow of water instead of a drip
      Hope this clears it up for you
      all the best

    • @woodsman2433
      @woodsman2433  4 роки тому +1

      That would be good, only problem with that lead split shot any bigger than #8 is banned in the UK for fishing so no point here. Thanks for watching

      @kellyroup4262 3 роки тому +2

      Just lock on a thin, hard blade blocking it do that you don't cut completely through the shot and drill divit in metal plate to keep shot centered them and one at a time! Lol
      Don't make the divit too deep or shot will stick because of expansion. The knife blade should move kind of like a paper cutter. Hinged at the tip by way of a hole with a bolt through and you could use a couple of bearings as a guide do the blade stays centered when pushing through the lead.

    what size hole for to make no.4? would a tray with a gas burner underneath work? or will it flow to much if the nozzles and tray are heated?

    • @woodsman2433
      @woodsman2433  7 років тому +7

      Hi Mate thanks for interest
      I originally used the set up with a burner under the front edge of the tray and it worked just
      fine, the electric set up gives me more control over the heat and lead temperature.
      A 1mm or 40 thou hole in the drippers will produce no4 or very close to it
      thanks again

    • @woodsman2433
      @woodsman2433  7 років тому +8

      Hi Mate thanks for your comments. The coolant believe it or not is cheap fabric conditioner from Lidl
      I always warm it up first as well to about 60 celcius this thins it a bit and doesnt shock the shot
      hope this helps , thanks again.

    Great video! Can you tell me what angle the ladle is sitting at? Is the ramp the shot runs down at 90 degrees from the dripper face?

    • @woodsman2433
      @woodsman2433  7 років тому +4

      Hi Thanks for comment,
      The ladle is set at 30 degrees with the .75mm dripper ie number 6 shot. The smaller the hole in the dripper the steeper the angle needs to be as to increase lead pressure. The ramp is set to 90 degrees to the drippers.

      The element under the ladle is 1000watt 36inch bend to shape bought of ebay and bent in
      a type of W shape. This is sandwiched to the underside of the ladle with ceramic fibre blanket and an aluminium cover which I made. In actual fact the cover hardly gets hot and all the heat is directed to the bottom of
      the ladle.

    • @woodsman2433
      @woodsman2433  7 років тому +1

      Hi thanks for your interest. The shot comes out nice and uniform, due primarily to the control
      of the actual lead temperature. The unit is still in its infancy at the moment and in actual fact originally had a gas burner under the ladle , but i had no way of reliably controlling the temperature. With a .75mm dripper it produces nice 2.7mm shot. About a British number 6 or American number 7 . The largest size dripper ive tried was 1mm which produced around number 3 or 3.5mm shot. Any larger than this seems hit and miss and shot looks abit out of round.

      Sorry not sure what your asking. Do you want to make 2mm from 8.62mm. To produce 2mm shot or number 9 you will have to use a .5mm or 20thou dripper. High antimony content of around 5% which will reduce the leads relative density
