Making lead fishing weights with spent Nitrous Oxide canisters (laughing gas)

Hard to know what to say about this....................................

[@hedgerowpete]

i am loving the new style and music set up, as ever a brilliantly produced and polished finish article, thank you

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

cheers

[@1Venger]

You can also use spent Co2 cartridges 16g used for beer making or bicycle tyre inflators.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

there are a lot more drug user than bicycle enthusiasts where i live, cheers but i was thinking of using them for a sand casting mould and 16g may be better cheers

[@inspirality]

Thanks Paul. I finally have a use for the spent Co2 cartridges used carbonating my homebrewed beer 😉

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

I believe you, budge budge, wink wink

[@lesdunn736]

2021 still inspirational. Cheers Buddy

[@TheAudiostud]

As always Paul, another cracking video, which no doubt I'll several times, great work, well done!

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

cheers, i will be making something from a bong next time

[@minerblue9641]

I've also used iron shell casings found at the rifle target range. They rust though.

[@twofishrexy918]

Great film. Fresh mackerel, delicious. Thank you.

[@jsf4star891]

Very neat idea, Paul. It appears you got back up to Scotland for some fishing. Amazing views, and the fishing wasn't bad either, I would imagine.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

I was up there for week on holiday, the weather was pretty good even got some tan. I am back up there working for a few weeks around the end of the month so look out for some more sea fishing vids, cheers

[@lautarosoliss.5150]

Awesome idea! this I love to do next ... Great video Paul as always ... greetings from Chile :)

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

cheers, from scotland and england

[@stubarnsley990]

Love all these tips... Thanks

[@rowansmith8172]

That was absolutely quality!

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

cheers

[@Arfabiscuit]

Very interesting what was the weight on those babies Paul looked about 100 gr .

[@mariacomarniceanu6374]

Super idea !!!

[@carldeanwilliamsdvm6162]

Do you have an approximate weight on these sinkers? This is a great idea.

[@anthonyridge2323]

I was thinking the same thing. I dont think they'd weigh enough for the fishing I do in heavy current with either live or big cut bait in heavy river current but still a very cool idea and a clever way to put those used co2 or nitrous cartridges to use. Two 👍👍

[@juanpindonga405]

few months ago i was fishing at Victoria, entre ríos and near to my fishing spot some stupids left a stack of garbage, near to that stack I found a pair of this canisters wich I bringed just for keep clean the coast; now I know wath I will do with them!

[@darknomad911]

love ure video's would like to see some flutter jigs and slow pitch fishing jigs being made its something new i have had some luck catching on. but the jigs are very expensive and lost often.

[@dave1secondago]

great idea gonna try this , them bottles are discarded everywere

[@farinrin8177]

Sir, what is the name of the machine that we put in the tin, he came out of the liquid melting point to make the fishing sinker.

[@heathschwab]

An that's so cool. Yea wish I didn't trow mine away ide have 6 or 8. I won't throw no more away. But love it love your channel. I'm gonna make a play list and your how to do will be on there. Thanks for the best ideas. Hey did you snag fish or just like popping them hooks to catch the fish. Thanks for a great idea. God bless

[@michaelross5674]

Great idea

[@20alphabet]

Yep, you can always catch more fish with organic materials like lead.

[@jarrod9234]

My first thought, before watching, was "where would I go to get used canisters?". Ahhhh, THAT'S where to get them. :)

[@oliverwilkinson5773]

Jarrod H mountain bike people use them too if u have any friends tell them to save emptys for u 😉

[@jarrod9234]

That's good to know, thank you. I do have a few friends. :) :)

[@francescosita7624]

Jarrod H you can find it in restaurant's kitchen .

[@bigcheesedog2645]

Another brilliant idea, I was just looking at a big sinker mold. Do you think they could be flatten a bit to take some roll out?

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

you could tap them a bit flat with a hammer or in a vise

[@richardbarrett7544]

Wish I had half the skill, very good idea too.

[@JollyPeanut]

This is the First video of yours i have seen & i am Hooked already "subbed"

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

thanks for the sub and leaving a comment

[@mjal0108]

How big are the co2 cans and how much does each weigh complete.

[@michaelpatterson2238]

Great video Paul, do you know if there is anywhere I can buy these canisters ( empty ofcoarse ), you should apply to the Guv or Europe for a grant all the recycling you do.

[@samsadowitz1724]

Michael Patterson by the looks of things (unless the canisters are made differently) you could probably do this with spent CO2 cartridges as well.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

I am not sure where you can buy empty ones, my dad collected a few of these for me on his walks round town and a friend gave me a load she found in her garden after one of her teenager daughters had a party

[@michaelpatterson2238]

Cheers Paul, I've asked a few friends to keep a look out, the same canisters are used in Cream Chargers in the catering industry, I might see if I can find a caterer that will let me have some. Thanks again.

[@hodge726]

Good idea.. that's video edit was cool

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

cheers

[@mennoh6847]

Wait, did you kill the fish by pullibg back its mouth? (Breaking the neck) or did you let them suficate? Awsome video, i prefer the other style of videos but even this is really enjoyable, cheers

[@juanbirumbrales8318]

the video, la idea, la musica exelentes , maestro

[@robertlaitinen1514]

Nice and good video again

[@MatthewRizzi]

You make awesome videos

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

.thanks

[@mwechtal]

Hmm, about 113g or 4 oz. If you use a CO2 cartridge, that should be about 159g or 5.6 oz. Of course, you could cut off the bottom for less weight.

[@deanwright1124]

love it

[@rexjonhdeer8180]

how much did they weight? thanks

[@RalphBellairs]

Paul, is there a special name for the drill bit you were using to drill the hole in the base of the canister? Thanks.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

step drill, i bought a cheap set for under £10, they are great for drill thing metal sheet as they have no rake angle and do not grab at the work

[@donb3557]

Ingenious!

[@mancunianlee]

Genius

[@fishermankev]

Can u make a small jointed swimbait

[@ngan8084]

K-Drix86 P yasssss

[@vinfish4697]

I actually tried that with Easter 🐣 eggs and cement and turned out not to heavy enough and as usual no matter what project you do turns out incredible

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

i was thinking of a cement based weight myself, despite the density issue but it might be some time off, thanks

[@AndrewAHayes]

Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mariuszsobieraj1769]

Is the part two method feeder coming out soon.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

I do not know at them moment, I am going to be travelling a lot over the next couple of months so it might have to wait for the winter

[@mariuszsobieraj1769]

The Handmade Fisherman Ok, sounds good. I have been keeping my eyes open since the part one. I have followed your videos on the waggler floats making. Awesome work. Thank you for the work you have done.

[@nickcavanaugh9586]

when a problem comes along you must whip it

[@dercoellner]

Great👍🏻🎣👍🏻🎣

[@Invader-tz3ze]

Nice one

[@qaiserwaeemwaseem8537]

Nice

[@PatMo1888]

Need to Mull that over ...

[@AndyMacaskill]

[@reaganjeulin117]

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

twenty four and a few months, alright lots of months and maybe the odd couple of decades

[@TrensdePesca]

Bom vídeo.

[@TheChronicRhythm]

Yay now I have a reason to do whip its 😂

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

encouraging drug use was not the main aim of this vid, but if was about to give birth i think i would go through a few bottles, cheers

[@TheChronicRhythm]

i just like whipped cream ;D

[@YeahBunji]

"Nangs" put to good use.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

I have used these before to make other things and will be using them again, cheers

[@ridwan9071]

how much does it weight? شكرا لك

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

about 4 1/2 oz
