I was surprised how easy it was to melt the lead. I have the same camping cooker I thought you would need something more powerful then that. I am a scuba diver and it’s always handy to have spare weight. I don’t wear a weight belt a wear a weight harness (drysuit diving ) I will be definitely trying this out. Thanks for the video 👍🤿
Great idea for when you are diving at different depths, where you can quickly add, or take off weights, (keep them in the float) for next to nothing as far as cash is concerned and a little time invested on the weekend. I’ve had lead in my garage for years and the tyre man will always give me old tyre weights so quite easy project really. I’ve made weights for years, but I like this quick fit.
@@germanspearfishingchannel5359 - Greetings to you. Not sure of the meaning of your question, but I used to make ordinary standard weights with the normal slits, that thread onto the belt using a wooden moulds and odd scrap. They are too fiddly to thread quickly and easily while off the float and your idea was a massive difference in ease and time in adding extra weight if needed, when my diving buddy could add it for me. I used a few standard weights as a base and then had a couple of your weights if my my buddy or I needed to add. Thanks again for the simple but great idea.
Brilliant idea! I made three using my old 177 and 22 pellets and some fishing weights, melted lead in an old cooking pot then filled 3 empty tins, worked great.
Great design! I prefer putting in the wax when the lead is already molten and mostly cleaned from dross. Stirring with the way will bring out all the residual stuff from the bottom to the surface.
@@germanspearfishingchannel5359 I do not know the reason why it works. I assume it is a bit like the flux used for soldering which dissolves the oxide layer on the surface of the liquid metal and therefore enables the droplets of molten metal to stick together. The liquid metal then combines to a big volume and because of surface tension wants to minimize its surface area. Therefore it separates from the debris which is less dense and floats on top of the melt where it can be skimmed off. I assume there is also a lubrication mechanism by the wax flowing into the space between crucible and solid junk. Maybe the wax also helps to reduce already oxidized lead back to metallic lead. Anyway the wax is a extremely useful additive to minimize loss of lead and for cleaning of dirty lead. However it makes the debris very powder like and difficult to skim off the liquid metal surface. Also the powdered lead waste is a greater hazard for contaminating the place with lead or even breathing the dust. I recommend melting dirty lead in a high crucible until all the lead is liquid. Then adding a good amount if wax and immediately stir the molten contents also scraping the sides and bottom of the crucible. This brings all the dirt to float on top of the melt. The wax will most certainly catch on fire which is good because it will then not smoke as much. Just be careful with the burning liquid wax and never add water to it! After it has finished burning most of the dirt can be removed with a bend spoon which is screwed onto a long handle. Do not worry about removing all the dirt. I then recommend to simply pour the lead into ingots which will then solidify and can be separated from the remaining dirt (maybe with a wire brush). For projects then melt the cleaned ingots. Always try to avoid breathing lead dust and handling lead oxide! Try to contain every bit of lead waste and dispose of it properly!
@@germanspearfishingchannel5359 I would be fine with that. Please correct any mistakes first. I wrote this comment very quickly on my smartphone without checking it. Ich bin übrigens auch deutsch.

Definitely a thumbs up 👍 great job there , saves heaps of money making your own than buying them for sure, will now make some of these thank you for sharing, awesome video have a great day , cheers from Australia.
Nice, but I wonder if you could have sold those old musket bullet balls on ebay to collectors for 10 Euros each and you'd been able to buy 10 kg of lead weights!
German Spearfishing Channel this video made me realize that I could just dig up my shooting range where I've thought thousands of rounds haha good video. Thanks
I wouldnt count on that staying put myself. And if you're dependent on that to maintain a slight negative bouyancy at the end of your dive, and it releases, youre screwed...

dude do you know those muskballs and ammo you found could cost they could be worth something

Lead has a low meltingpoint!
bro really melting down artifacts for a dive weight, respect.
Why not? 😂
Simple design but very effective, great work mate!
Thank you! Where are you from? Australia? Have a look on my newer tutorials. Greetings!
The simplest, and probably BEST design I've seen. It's such a PITA to change weights when you dive with different wetsuits or gear. This is excellent!
Thanks mate! Have a look at my other videos 🐙

Cool that ir worked out for you. This is perfect for people in America because they have so much old ammunition lead haha

Great! Tell me how your Result was! Greetings from the cold and rainy Germany :)

Here in germany you are able to buy 10 pieces of ammo for arround 3€, many metall detectors here :D
Nice channel! 😀 👍
Thanks a lot, have a look on the other Videos!
Great job dude
Thanks alot! If you have Any more questions on this it my other Videos just comment below. Greetings Chris
Great job
Thanks alot!
what type of paint did you use for the green

Really cool ..and diy.
Thank you!
Thank you for this :)
No Problem, just afk if you have any more questions!
Loving your videos man
Glad to hear this! If you have any questions or wishes for videos just post below any of my videos, i will reply soon! Greetings Chris
Greatly Appreciated! I look forward to learning more. Cheers

Chris on TOUR Und mal probiert?
You make really good videos
Thanks alot Raphael!
really good chanel keep the good job man :D
Thanks! I will!
do you recomande a good german website for seling spearfishing equipment? (i live in frankfurt)
Glückwunsch zu exakt 800 Subs :D
Danke!
Mittlerweile 1,3k :D
Doesn't tin have a lower melting point than lead?????
Haha, the can is Not made from Tin, its not melting earlier. I think that is a pure translation fail 😅
German Spearfishing Channel this video made me realize that I could just dig up my shooting range where I've thought thousands of rounds haha good video. Thanks
Yes, but dont try to melt metal alloys like brass/ uranium :D! Greetings
Have you tried it? We dont have that many shooting ranges in Germany 😅
Greetings
how many the weight,m
What do you mean? The weight? Its 700gr
@@germanspearfishingchannel5359 thank you 😁.. i made my lead weight with donut mould 😂😂😂
@@Willyliemfams Send me a picture, that I can show some of my followers products in my Blog :) germanspearfishingchannel@gmail.com Greetings Chris
great vid
Thank you! If any questions, dont bother to ask!
More information on www.harpune.info
Thank you Altin!
not the musket balls and amunition
that could have been worth something
Why not? That is just Led, no alloy at all. Greetings
Not that much, you find alot of these in the german earth...
And i like the thought, that these old ammunition gets an new purpose, diving with 200 year old lead
Seems like your wax is not working properly....but anyway...good job.
The wax helps in the melting process not to remove it from the tin can. Can i help you somehow? Greetings Chris
is good
Nice, glad that you like it. Any more questions? Greetings
Is happy
I wouldnt count on that staying put myself. And if you're dependent on that to maintain a slight negative bouyancy at the end of your dive, and it releases, youre screwed...
Its more designed for Freediving not for technical diving, but i can ensure you that it is steady as a rock ;)
U should save those musket balls
For what? They are not that worthy. Better reuse them instead of more stuff laying Around. 🤗 Greetings Chris
Why do you speak English?
Because the Most People unterstand it instead of German 🤔😉
