    Big plans, late start...

    I had big plans for getting all my range scrap into ingots today. But I got a late start and only managed to get through 5 buckets. I'll try to get the last 3 tomorrow. Maybe I'll even have some time to make a dent in the WW... I guess it all depends on how good my bed feels in the morning.

    The proceeds for your viewing pleasure. 684 ingots onto the pile.

    That's a serious pile of metal. Enough to keep you casting for atleast a couple of days?

    Yeah, a month or two.

    I'm using a bit under 200 pounds a year these days.

    I'm a hurting puppy and getting ready for bed. I don't remember it being this much work 20 years ago.

    I'm a bit surprised that a piece of plywood is strong enough to support all that lead.

    There are a couple 2X6s and a few screws that aren't evident due to the angle.

    i keep my smelting down to about 3 hrs at a time, or 3-4 buckets at a whack.
    you gotta put all the stuff away.
    and stack the ingots too.

    This smelt was primarily intended as a peace keeping mission to get the buckets of raw scrap out of Her Majesty's garage.

    I'm good into my 70's at current usage so I'm not actively seeking. But if I stumble across something, I still pick it up. Doesn't matter to me how much excess stock my daughter's husband has to pack out of the place after I'm gone.

    Well, the rest of the range scrap and the clip on WW are going to have to wait for another day. I did do the stick on WW this afternoon and got 64 ingots. It was only a small box, but one more bit of clutter out of her garage. When the wife is happy, everybody's happy.
