Hi James,

    Another way to make a mold for pouring wire ingots is to use a piece
    of angle iron. 

    Place an appropriate length on edge so it forms a 'V'. If you have 2
    small pieces of an old or new fire brick, the ends can be imbeded in
    them enough to keep the 'V' properly oriented & block the flow of
    metal from the ends. 

    While it's not the usual square wire mold, it should work ok. 

Dave
