Thank you all for the ideas!!! Here shortly I'm going to give it a try!! I would of never thought of making a mold from a 4x4. I figured it would just burn up!!
Thanks,
Chris
iv'e made fishing sinkers that way a whole bunch of times. it works very well.
you 4x4s will most likely become consumable items. you may get a couple of pours out of them if you don't let them catch fire.
if you have a space cleared out dig a hole in the ground a foot or so deep, put you mold in the hole supported as to not have direct contact with the ground a brick, rocks sand anything will do. make the pour and bury the whole shooting match with dirt.
leave it alone for an hour or better and dig er up & take the mold off.
my dirt is mostly sand and clay, so don't do it if you have excessively wet soil!!!
