lead sources

[pilgrim]

      at my local scrap yard,  they show me where they keep the lead and I pick out what I want.  usually have lead sheeting and lead pipe.  Sometimes have lead pucks,  but not sure if they are soft lead,  although they mark with a finger nail.

    must dig through top be sure you get the good stuff,

You can also check around for anybody working with stained glass. The lead from stained glass windows is good and soft. A semi-local woman gave me about 10lbs of it.

Scrap yard that takes refrigerators, cars, etc.  I bought 100 lbs of lead pipe for $.065 a pound.  Roofers are a great source tho a lot of those guys make fishing weights.
