July Smith Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Ladies and gentlemen meet Drippy. This was how I got my start in casting. Drippy began life as a Lee Bottom Pour Furnace and earned many names, the only one I can repeat here is “Drippy.” One day brilliant 16-year-old me decided to permanently plug Drippy with a sheet metal screw and use it as a ladle furnace. A drill bit snapped off in the hole before I ever got that far. The end result was the same as what I had planned to do with a screw, Drippy’s dripping days were over. I used a ladle for several more years of casting until I upgraded to a Lyman Mag 20. Drippy is old and a little rusty, but still heats up reliably. If somebody is interested in getting a start in casting Drippy can be yours for free. All I ask is for $20 to cover shipping from me to you. Also include with Drippy is a lead ladle shown in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uriah, SASS # 53822 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I have one of those. Holds 20 pounds. The bottom for leaks but I don’t care. Works for pistol bullets with a gang mold. Good furnace. Uriah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPappy Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I would put drippy to use if Dirt Hill doesn't take it. I have an old mold of my dads I always wanted to try but someone got to his furnace before I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
