    Hi,

    I found a few before on ebay for making grip moulds. Comes with a kit of eye's/gripping wire aswell.

    If you want to do some DIY ones, a bucket of sand and push a lead into it leaving the shape, then just pour in your hot lead. Or else 2 piece's of wood clamped together, drill down the center so each piece has half the mould. You can make a few test ones and weight them till you figure out how big a hole you need.

    ukhooks has a good selection of molds. never bought from them tho.

    be very very carefull with hot lead, it hurts. make sure your area is well ventilated and that no amount of water can get near you as it will make the lead explode.
