Larger Stainless pot from a yardsale over a wood fire into ingots of the suitable size is easiest, and helps with the blend if its a concern.

gonefishin', ,,, I've used a hack-saw many times to cut thru 6" thick lead bars....takes a bit of work though,,,if I could get my hands on those massive 3' long bars again,...I'd try a sawzall with a long blade,,,don't put more lead in the pot than you can comfortably pour...the pot can grow heavy while your pourin'...


Thanks for the info. I wonder if cutting it with a band saw would work. Too much heat, gummin up the blade?
