First things you need are a well ventilated area, exhaust fan, respirator, gloves, and eye protection. A number of different pots you can get. Really depends on the size and number of jigs you will be doing. The larger sizes are usually done with a pot and ladle. You'll need a supply of hooks. The size/style should be listed on the molds you get. You'll also want paint for the heads. Some like the vinyl paint, I prefer the powder paints. You'll need lead. Best place to try is a plumbing supply place. They often sell lead ingots (also called lead chalking) in 5# sizes. Gate shears for cutting the extra lead off. If you are tying tails, rod building thread in size A works well. Also pick up zap a gap and head cement.
