I spent some time this week cleaning out my old Lyman mould master getting ready to start casting soon. Today I did my Lee drip o matic. It was 1/3 full with solid lead with 2-3" of sprues from sinker making last winter. I was sitting at the computer 10 feet away from the pot. About 15 minutes into warm up BANG!! WTH just happened? Looked in the pot and found this. It must have fallen in sometime during the last year. The only serious injury was to my *** when the wife tore into it for waking her up so suddenly at 5:15 am.
Note to self, CHECK THE POT BEFORE COOKING!!!
