A large lead ladle

I may have posted this on the old forum, but here goes again.

The ladle is made from 2" x 1/4" mild steel strip.

This is bent round.

Then welded and a bottom welded in using scrap strips.

View from the top.

On the fire (forge).

A couple of pouring spouts were hammered in. It works well. Heavy when full though! !
