[TheForge] Casting and what I want to do

[Jerry Smith]

Folks,

I want to put a 10 x 12 strap building with sheet
steel roofing and siding next spring, to do my lead,
aluminum, copper and bronze casting in. These will not
be in the same pot, but maybe the same burner and
stand. 

Currently, I am getting a pile of lead for casting
bullets. I have reclaimed lead from a pistol range, a
counter balance weight from a tow motor, wheel
weights, 50 pounds of USAF grade solder from a surplus
soldering machine, Linotype lead. I also have tin and
antimony on hand. Some in ingot form some in bulky
sizes that will need to be cut down to a usable size
for the pot.

I am getting other metals collected also. In my area,
you have to be careful about what metals you have.
Crooks have broken in to peoples places and stole
peoples copper plumbing and wiring while the owners
are at work.

I will be having the electric co-op putting in a pole
and power to the tractor barn. But for the larger
casting, I want to use propane.
