http://www.euronaut.org/content/gfx/interior/IMG_4869a.jpgBe carefull with the lead pipes. If you catch an air or water bubble in the
pipe drop in the meltzing pot it tends to expolde.
Small explosion of course but it takes week before your skin looks normal..
Use a strong hammer and drop the pipes flat before you melt them.
