[PSUBS-MAILIST] lead Smelter

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,I made a number of 5kg lead blocks by pouring the lead in towooden molds. The harder the wood the better. Of course the moldsget black & occasionally catch on fire, but they are easy to make & easyto get the lead out of. Alan

Started back working on my sub, it's been so hot that it's impossible to get anything done.  It still hot but should cool down soon.  I cut a big hole in the bottom of my sub ( concrete part)  I can stick my head in there and look around !   I'll be fitting lead in there.   I also fired up that smelter and melted a bunch of lead, works really good !   I didn't do anything with the lead I just wanted to see how long it would take to melt.  Next project is to make metal forms to pour the lead into, and to make my drop weight assembly.    Brian
