    Lyman 61 Pot restomods

    A few years ago I purchased a Lyman 61 Pot from a member here. Unfortunately it was not packaged correctly and the legs to hold the pot onto the base were missing from the box along with the knob to turn the temperature up and down. I finally decided to get it up and going. I gathered some scrap metal laying around the house and welded up a stand for it along with a rolling mold guide. Hopefully it serves me for a few more years. I will include some pictures of the results after a rattle can of rust oleum high temp Paint.

    Looks good to me even if it is a bit sideways . I love my 61's and my SAECO's above any others that I own including my much newer Mag20.
