While casting some Minie balls I was called away so I left the molds and base plugs on a hot plate. While away from the molds and hot plate longer than anticipated the wooden handle on the plugs burned. When I got back they were ash. I've been looking for some wooden drawSure er knobs to use for replacement knobs. I can not find any wooden knobs around. I've tried Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, Target, Wallmart and numerous harware stores and wooden drawrer knobs. Does anyone have any solution about where to find some woocden drawer knobs? thanks, Bob 11B50

Greetings Bob 11B50,
Do you have a friend with a wood lathe? Trade some stories from the Benning Boys School and a can of suds (the can afterwards) for a couple knobs made to order. Just and idea.

The only mold that I have like that is my Civil War Minnie Ball mold. I use a dipper with it. If I were in your place I'd just buy the cheapest file handle I could find, and use one of them. I don't remember if that mold of mine would even fit under my bottom pour. If that makes you unhappy I'd suggest a section of broom stick, or a large dowel. I cannot remember if there is any thread on the end of your bullet-base-plug. I do remember a cross pin. Improvise!

Wooden drawer pulls or knobs from the unfinished furniture store, or the internet. Lots to choose from.
