machinist = not much money .I am cheap too as I didn't buy a blank mold either I made the whole thing out of free alum. I got from work. Cost me nutin too. Nothing wrong with being cheap, no matter what my wife and daughter say

No one wants to spend money they don't have to. This is what I have been using. I have a couple of these with slightly different diameter OD's.

It is not elegant but it works and it has lasted a long time.

As for slugs, I have been pouring them out of this mold using clamps. Very simple. I can just cut off piece for a belly weight but I would like to have a cleaner way to pour them.
