Sure glad I stumbled across this channel! Straight forward DIY projects. Appreciate the great work & content, Keep Them Coming!
I'm glad you did too lol , I appreciate you watching Sir thank you
It is an awesome channel
My uncle used to make his sinkers by heating his pot up in the furnace. He had an old spoon that he would put a dab of vasoline on and clamp in a vice. He would hold a nail with a pair of pliers where he wanted the hole and then pour the melted lead into the spoon. Taught me how to do it. Made many sinkers in his basement using this method. Can't believe he let me around molten lead when I was just a youngster but things were different back then (1950's). Loved your video. Love your DIY presentations. Just thought I'd share.
Thank you for sharing that , they didn't know things they know now back then
Thanks for the tip! The one thing I like the best is how clean and organize your shop is.
Thank you Sir, I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave an awesome comment
Man, you nailed it! I looked it up? Lead melts at 621.5 degrees you're a true master.
I have been doing DYI projects all my life to keep my hobby costs down. I absolutely love your channel!! Great projects!
Thank you Sir I appreciate that buddy
Great DIY as always. If youre worried about impurities in the lead put a small piece of paraffin wax or a small candle in it while its melting, the impurities/trash stick to it and rise to the top. I use paraffin when melting lead to pour bullets for reloading. Thanks again.
I didn't know that , your probably a pro compared to me though . Reloading ain't nothing to play with
Your DIY's are so innovative they make you want to have a lot more FishinStuff!!
Thank you brother , ok wait I see what you did there Wes lolol . I appreciate it buddy
I love watching your videos, as I'm making rigs, you really are the best.
Good job!! Something we do is set the mold on top of the pot, it brings the temp up and the end product will look better, at least for the first couple of pours.
I'll fo that next time ourr use my torch on the mold I forgot toi heart it up I worked on that video all night and was really too try it out lol
Love your DIYs Keep em coming think I might give this a try
Thank you brother , it was kind of fun to make
Nice vid. When I was a boy I used to drag big tackle balls off the jetties and pier pilings then take them home and cut and untangle it all for my fishing gear. I would take all the small sinkers and put them in a tin can over our fire pit till they melted and pour it into pvc caps that had copper wire cross layed in it. Once it cooled I would pry the pvc off and those where my surf weights. Lol
This is another great DIY ! If and when my molds break, I will do this, Thank you very much Keith. I do spray a little WD 40 on a rag, and rub the hole pins, and it works great. Have a good week my friend 👍
Thank you Sir , I'll try that , it sounds like it would work better
Good video, thanks for the info, I'll make a few of these. Really like the no skid weights.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing👍
Great Idea Keith plan and simple and endless options as to sizes Bo you rockin it .
Thank you brother, your right options are endless
That's a awesome and easy way to make some sinkers Keith!! Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Thank you brother

I have always heard about people doing this, but I’ve never actually seen it. Excellent tutorial sir, thank you so much for making such wonderful content!
Thank you for watching
Good idea,good video
Another great DIY, keep these great DIY’s coming.👍👍
Thank you Sir
I used these with the Team Catfish weight slides to make a ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxdmsDj7fQXe77DC0l7P7ua8B3PiESUubM Carolina rig and they were perfect for the ponds I fish. I have also used them to make 3 way rigs and these work perfectly. Haven't had any issues with them snagging in rocks or in weeds yet.
This advice isn't only good for fishing weights. It's also great for showing how to make stackable lead inserts for grandfather clock weights. Thanks for sharing. :-)
First time on here. Thanks for a super job of carefully explaining how to make a dyi sinker mold that is absolutely practical and doable.
Thank you Sir
Too cool, will be using this one! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you Sir
Fishin N Stuff you bet, Thank you!

Thank you Big Country I appreciate it brother
Another entertaining and instructive video - appreciate your work - Dave from Australia
Thank you Dave
A drill press sure makes life better. I like this idea and gonna have to try making one like it.
I agree 100% brother . And you can get one pretty cheap now days
Love it when I get a new Fishin N Stuff video notification
Thank you Sir , I love it when you watch em too . Makes me feel good lol . It really does do thank you for watching
Great idea!
Thank you Sir
Good stuff
Hold my beer, hell yeah brother! I like how you use the index to check sizes. I typically use calipers but that’ll get it done Fun video, thank you.
Ive got calibers but I try and shop things ppl can do and not spend a bunch on it . But calipers are the best
Very nice - thanks!
Awesome diy and instructions. Thank you. Great video my friend.
Thank you brother
Just made some flat round sinkers after watching this. Just drilled into wood made eyelets out of 14 copper wire, Look good gonna try them next week see how they hold bottom.
Interesting and fun build. Good video!
Thank you
another great project. i think i'm gonna try this one soon
If you like no roll sinkers it worked out really good
You have great ideas and you are a good guy to share them. One suggestion: a "Fishin N Stuff" logo stamp to put your logo on your weights. And one request: Loved the tech tip. How about a shop tour of what you use for your projects? Keep up the great work!
Thank you buddy , I'll start trying to do more of the tech tips , and stuff like that
Just discovered your channel. Really enjoying binge watching your vids.
Thank you Sir I appreciate it
Awesome job
Thank you Sir
Great idea, Keith!! Gives me an idea of how to make my own lead weights!!!!!
What your idea i love watching something and getting ideas from it lol
@@FishinNStuff let me work it out and I'll share it to the world soon!!!😂😂
I used bees wax on the push pin before I put it in the mold. The hot lead leaves a residue on the pin and it pulled right out. Love the videos, keep it up.
Thank you brother , I appreciate you watching. Ima try that bees wax trick
That's perfect for my duck decoys awesome video
My buddy duck hunter and your right .I appreciate you watching brother
Another get video bro. Thank you for all the hard work and then sharing it with us.
Thank you for watching it brother, I appreciate you
No problem brother. I’m enjoying them very much. Are you in the Gaston County area?
Just found your channel. Loving it.
Thank you brother
Dude you are Soooo Cool!!! You video is Completely Excellent!!! I could hang with you all day!! Thanks for makin this vid!!
Thank you brother , that would be Awesome
Dude, you’re so creative! Love it!
Thank you brother
Very good!!!
Love the video brother. I'm gonna look around my yard for some scrap materials & try making me a mold. Sinkers don't come cheap especially when they get in the heavier sizes plus you get less. Thanks & keep them coming. 👊💪🎣😎
You right they ain't cheap , what other shapes would you like to see buddy
I'm a big fan of no roll sinkers & pyramid.
Great idea bud. Thanks.
Thank you brother I appreciate it
Funny you called your first pour ugly. Fish won't eat it so why care. It works, then it works
I like your channel very much.
You right lol
Awesome video you keep coming with great diy thanks for sharing
Thank you buddy . Hey are you going to the catfish conference again this year
@@FishinNStuff yes I'm planning on coming
If the lead gets hard coming out of that mold you could always put a candle under the mold to where it turns the inside black and it will help release easier. Can also use pieces of tea light candle to clean up the lead before pouring but just be careful if to hot the wax will combust. Don't ask me how I know that
Oooo I'm not going to ask you how you know that lol . But thank you . It got better after I spent a little more time sanding and I left em cool a little longer and they dropped right out
if you smoke the mold with a candle, it'll drop even more smoothly.
Thank you brother I'll definitely try that
@@FishinNStuff or use ur torch wth a dirty sooty flame to smoke it. Thats how we do bullets 👍
@@josephwatkins9605 that's smart
He also needs to heat the mold. when my bullet molds aren't hot enough, it ripples like that. and smoking the mold would do the trick.
I have to admit although lead is nasty stuff I love using it and I have a few types of molds. This is an absolutely great idea Keith and you can use box iron or whatever to get different shapes, if you smoke the inside of the mold with a candle it helps get the weight out too
That's a great idea Vinnie. I've had ppl tell me oil works too . I just love experimenting with stuff lol
@@FishinNStuff Yeah, and it doesn't even bother you :-)
That's an awesome DIY mold I use old wheel weights for mine
Thank you Sir. That's what I was using too
And that right there is awesome!!!
Outstanding
Very nice!
Thank you Sir
Another great idea bud
Thank you Dave
I really liked your creativity - great video !!!
Thank you Sir I really appreciate that . And I appreciate you taking the time to leave an awesome comment
Great advice and love the bit about breathing lead fumes doesn't bother you a bit! Haha
Thank you Sir and thanks for watching
Brilliant , you aught to run for office , common sense goes a hell of long ways
Haha make fishing great again haha
Another great video. I was thinking of away to make my own weight thanks
Thank you buddy . That is a good start you could make some changes and do a lot with this idea
Every bit I can save helps I'll be doing this big ty
Good idea...nice video...
Thank you brother
Kool stuff
Thank you brother I appreciate it
That brain of yours (lead fume infused and all) sure is a never ending source of cool ideas.😂👍💯
Hahaha , well Sir the lead will do that too you hahaha
Awesome! Those are a lot better than my wood ones
Wood works too though , they really don't have ro be pretty too work good
Thanks bro its really help me doing my own lead sinker
Sure makes it cheaper don't it lol
Simple yet perfect
Thank you Sir , and thanks for taking the time to leave an awesome comment. I appreciate it
Never seen a mold made like that , that's pretty smart
Thank you ma'am
Could weigh your lead before melting so that ya get the exact sinker weight you’re looking for. Then just pour into diameter pipe you want your sinkers to be. Just a thought 👍🏻. Great video!! Keep em comin!
be a lot easier to tweak the pipe diameter / height until you get the desired weight, then just cast a bunch. You could easily cut one at .400", .500", .600", etc. and then you would have molds for different weights. Only putting 3 or 4 ounces of lead in the mold he made would mean that the hole for your line wouldn't be centered anymore.
I've got one of the bottom pour 20# lee pots and you can cast up 50 sinkers in a few minutes once you get everything dialed in. Weighing out each one would take forever.
Those pots are nice , but I don't do it as much as some of you guys do . I'm always doing something different lol UA-cam ain't easy haha
I think with it being made to take apart it eroded be cool to make a bunch of different sizes but I was just sharing the idea the uses are unlimited. It's always about the idea with me lol
@@FishinNStuff I've got one of those Lee pots also, but they can be a PIA sometimes trying to keep the pee hole clear. I think that simple pot you have is better unless you are going to pour dozens of weights at a time.
@@Grumpyneanderthal yeah the spout can be a pita for sure. I just let mine drip onto a little metal pan, keeps it running smoothly.
Great Stuff Thank You.
Thank you buddy
My Dad would place his mold on top of his lead pot while it was heating. A warm mold helps prevent the first pour from looking bad.
That's a great idea man I'm going to try that . I meant to heat it up with my propane torch but , after working a couple hours building it while filming I was really ro use it and it slipped my mind lol . But i will try that thank you
Awesome brother !
Thank you Sir
Great video Thxs gave me some ideas
Yes Sir , thank you for watching my friend I appreciate it
I am building one tonite!.sinkers r expensive........but I did buy a sinker mold of a style that I use the most.
remember that it .....oh forget it ......its a lead thing
I like the advise from your viewer....smoke the mold w/a candle to make the release easier.....that again will be done tonite
Yep I got some sinker pouring professionals subscribed to my channel . Send me a picture of what you come up with buddy , I'd live to see it .
Keiff32@hotmail.com
“Nope don’t bother me a bit “🤣. I guess it don’t cause you just keep coming up with great DIY’s.
Lol thank you brother . I appreciate you man
Bees wax will help get the lead out of the molds and off the pin .
But get idea . Love this channel
Thank you Sir
@@FishinNStuff had to come up with a dif style bc I dont have the pipe lol so using two pieces of aluminum angle and clamp . That's for the inspiration on this .
Nice mold, I pour a lot of sinkers myself. The trouble that I have is finding lead. I used to get a lot of lead from wheel weights but the last few years they have gone almost totally to non-lead weights. I plan to try making a mold like this , thanks for the video.
I find lead at the scrapyard for 50 cents a pound , that's cheaper than online
Thanks for the idea. I have several friends in auto repair, so I always had plenty of lead. I'll try my scrap yard and see what they have.
Super COOL
TA DAY we are repeating what we just did! And it don't bother me a bit! LOL! AWESOME! Always perfect and great timing! How about a bottom bouncer idea!
Ok. Bottom bouncer fit catfish? I guess . Just asking because I hear guys talking about it but we don't do it much around here but I'm game I'll fo my research and try it
you asked for viewer DIY I have made pyramid sinkers using 1 of the weight I want to use. firm up some sand and make an impression of the weight. then hang either Barrel swivels or just bend wire and hang into the mold. They don,t have to be pretty. If you fish in rocky or snaggy water. used nuts on light line work good too.
Been doing that plus ive made cardboards inserts from cereal boxes and then pressed them into sand.
You're exactly right DIYs don't have to be pretty too be awesome . I always say its it's about the idea more than anything . I love ti watch sometimes DIY and it gives me an idea lol
I would still love some pictures of em , keiff32@hotmail.com
You can use a hammer to make different shapes to your rings before you drill the little hole. eeg, teardrop ect. as always great vid and fun to watch!!
I've already been thinking about that lol , I appreciate it brother
Hey man, that's slick!
Thank you brother
Really like this one
Thank you Sir
Another very intresting video. Great job. Now I'm out looking for lead. LOL.
Go to the corner garage or tire shop. Wheel weights they take off car rims are lead. Most places throw these wheel weights away, take a 5 gallon pail with you and ask them to save them for you. Or ask a electrician to save you the short pieces of cooper wire cut off pieces they can not use, strip the wire coating off and the copper inside is just as good as lead. Cut copper into small enough pieces to put into your melting pot. Make sure you use a clean melting pot do not cross contaminate the metals or it may blow up in your FACE. Or just melt pop cans this works to but makes sinkers a little light.👍 👍 🇨🇦
Take the lead off your neighbor's car they won't miss it at all lol . No don't I'm jk lol
@@FishinNStuff just got caught by my nieghbour. He said to me "whos fishing and stuff?"
@@Vincentdonnelly5158 hahaha tell him some dude in Canada haha
That was a cool build
Thank you brother I appreciate it
Fishin N Stuff you’re very welcome brother
Nice job on that there coin sinker mold😁😁
Thank you Sir
Good DIY tip if catfish was my target fish but me personally I prefer crappie..me personally I prefer crappie, keep the videos coming.
I like em both lol I'm going toi be doing some crappie DIYs soon
I love making weights with a mold my dad dad machined some 50 years ago out of kirksite, we get 10 weights out of it in 3 different sizes, it's pretty cool! To make the eyes, we just use the copper wires from old florescent ballast, and twist it around a nail to make the eye, works really well
That's cool . You and your dad should like my like of ppl . I was trying toi think of a way too make one that any body could do . The one your using sounds awesome
@@FishinNStuff yeah it kind of helped that he was a old school engineer, but he made it in the garage with his salvaged drill press. That's what I love about your stuff, I can try to do it too! I'll email you some pictures of it
@@kavak1344 please do brother
